I'm sure Jürgen Kellner writes in the language he knows best, just like most of us, and his photos are certainly worth a look, even if you can't speak German.

I think it's great to see links here to magazines in languages other than English. Vive la difference!

As ePilot said, Google Translate is the way to read anything - in 108 languages. You can copy a page of text from a pdf and paste it into the 'Text' tab for an instant translation - or upload an entire document via the 'Documents' tab. The maximum document size Google Translate can currently handle is 10MB - and you'll get a text output to read side-by-side with the original magazine, no pictures embedded.

I've used Google Translate to read all the fabulous magzines ePilot has shared with us here - plus lots of other stuff for work and pleasure.

This is the English translation of Jürgen's latest editorial via the text tab of Google Translate...
