U-Historia translations
« on: 03 Jul , 2019, 10:18 »

So, I started translating some of the U-Historia data for my own use a while back. They have some great information and photos, as most of you know. I recently posted one of my translations in response to something Tore put up. I don't recall what it was now but I got a little feedback so I thought maybe some would be interested in other translations I had done. This led me to downloading sections of photos and organizing them into a relatively standardized format. This is by no means a professional job. I just thought some people might find it helpful in their building or just curiosity of what is what. These are only the photo component identification callouts. I didn't want to get into using all of their content.


Using Google Translate as well as my weak Spanglish skills, I managed to get most of what I was looking for. However, there are a few places that I was totally stumped. These are generally indicated with a (?). If anyone can help out, please let me know and I'll go back and make changes. This includes mistakes as well. Google made a mess of several translations so I had to sort it myself several times. It's a coin toss if I got it correct or not. I even found a couple places where U-Historia was wrong on a component callout.


Obviously I do not take any credit for the work that U-Historia has done on their site. I'm posting these simply as courtesy to those who would like an English translation of their work. All credit goes to U-Historia.


Here are the first two. I will post a couple every 2-3 days if there is any interest shown. Hopefully these will help others trying to superdetail their boats. Enjoy.

Here's a couple more. Are these helpful for anyone? I know the appeal to modelers in a pretty narrow one as most U-Boat builders aren't building a model with an interior.

Here are a couple more. I expect to get some corrections on these two. I was a bit dubious of some of the callouts from U-Historia. Any and all input is welcome.

Ok, here's the last of the batch. I haven't had time to translate any recently but I'll try to do a few this weekend if I can. Enjoy.

I think I've worked through all of the shorter subjects. Now it's on to the longer, more time consuming ones. These may just come out one at a time (I do have a job you know!).

If you go to U-Historia, you may notice that some of the photos are missing for a given subject. Many of the components are repeated over several different subjects. I choose to skip these if I have already covered them at least twice before.


That said, here's another translation. This time it's hydraulics. Try to contain your excitement.

Thanks Tim! I have another one in the works but I haven't had much time to work on it. Soon, though.


I really wish they had an English language version of their site. They have so much info there. Sometimes Google Translate spits out gibberish so I have to go it alone. There's getting to be a fair amount of repetition so I can figure it out.

As promised, the Forward Torpedo Room. It may be awhile before the next one. This one took it out of me. It wasn't formatted the same as most of their other pages so it was tougher for the translator to follow.


Enjoy!

Ok kiddies, its been a while since I did one of these and now I remember why. This one was tougher than the last one. But alas, I do it for all of you. ;D


Now, there is a good chance there are errors on this one as good 'ol Google Translate was struggling. If anyone has any corrections, let me know and I'll go back and correct the pdf.


As always, enjoy.
