Translation of Lavuu Manual

[IntrepidStu]

Ive got a new lavuu but the instuctions are in Swiss. If one of our overseas members could give me a translation I may be able to erect it a lot easier in the future. Cheers to Barney by the way: If it wasnt for his help I would have given up and left the Middlewood meet, after trying for an hour to put the pole in the blinking thing.

Here is a scan, sorry if the size is massive.

Thanks Guys.

Its swedish (Edit: Or norwegian, as Scoops_uk mentions) , not Swiss

Give me a little time, then ill post a translation for you

 

[scoops_uk]

It's in Norwegian, which I can recognise but not speak well enough to help. Have you tried typing it into a web translator.

Scoops

Edit: I'll bow to DKW's superior knowledge I didn't think the swedish used "og" for "and". We cross posted.

1.
Andersnatten and Skogshorn lavvus have 5 sides.
Lay the lavvu out with zip closed. Stretch the corners equally out, and put a peg into peghole 1 and 2

2.
You can make yourself a piece of string 3,9 meters long for Andersnatten, and 4,5 meters long for Skogshorn, wich you allways keep in the pegbag.
Use the piece of string as a guide for pegging out the 3.rd peghole, by guiding it along the zipper rectangular from the side between peghole 1 and 2.

3.
Then peg out 4th and 5th peghole.

4.
Raise centerpole

5.
Peg out the remaining 5 pegholes.

6.
Peg out the guylines, and make them taught.


There you go Not all to sure about the english words tho, but should be understandable, if not. Ask away

It might be norwegian aswell.
Not to sure. I speak and read danish, norwegian and swedish. Heck. Even german and dutch.
To me the scandinavian languages all look the same

If you use FireFox rather than Internet Explorer, look in to the Mozilla FireFox Add Ons website and download the Foxlingo web translation Add On. Its FANTASTIC!

Virtually any language which you'll come across can be translated perfectly well.

Its got more languages than C3PO! (o:
