Thanks Grant, I had guessed this just had to be the case, but no one ever qualifies the ratio by stating mass. With the exception of CV carbs like SU and Bing all the adjustments change volume without any feedback from mass. I dont think even modern FI systems monitor or adjust for fuel temperature and therefore density..

I am not being pernickity, I just read things literally. It helped me with programming but sometimes I have to manually correct the information I am given.
for instance whenever I see a sign saying "disabled toilet", my first thought is why don't they fix it Even though I KNOW what the real meaning is I have to consciously change what I read into what they mean.

Some of the english translations have become suspect as it is trying to serve two languages, English and Amercan which have diverged from one another as to be ifferent. There was a time when all Euope had a common language ( Latin) but that is now gone and most European languages are unintelligible to the rest. I worked for an Amercan computer company for many years and some of their engineering terms are really archaic Shakesperian Olde Worlde. Other terms are completely different as are some expressions which have entirely different meanings in each language due to each country having had a different history since they started to diverge. It might be better to have a column for each language.

i'll soon do Turkish translation. still working on it!

Just saw this now,,
Very good idea.
I am attaching Korean next to English, only because it was easier for my neck ,, you can move it down further, since it is a minor language.
At same I was amazed to notice, how much of Korean has been adulterated by English, when it comes to mechanical things.
Sent it ,,

Thanks for the Korean, Joe.
Can you put the the reading of the Korean in latin letters too?
Maybe the page hasn't been updated yet, but now it only has the hangul alphabet.
Most of us can't read hungul, though...
See the example for Japanese and Greek.

Thanks!
