Hi everyone,
I've managed to create a more accurate English translation and you can download
it as a pdf from here.It's still not perfect but it's much better and easier to follow than the
google or babelfish translations
I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

Thanks for your work!!!
THANKS! Appreciate your work good sir!
Thanks a lot for the effort you put into this.
BRAVO !!!! And a lot of thanks for your wonderfull work !!!!!
Thank you, very helpful
thanks for the effort. But could we put this in a wiki, so that some correction can be done?
Hmmm... I'm only getting a 30kb corrupted file at that link.

Crawlie - The pdf is hosted on MediaFire. Don't try to download directly from the link here. Just click to go to Mediafire and download it from there.
i downloaded the pdf thanks a lot for good quality job , cheers!
Thank you Philip, that is very public-spirited of you. Much appreciated.
Good effort but...
I'm afraid that some of the translation is unintelligible.
For example :"Button Panel
Let's go see a little matter of the right-button. That goes full of buttons. Come fast to see some results. There are, in principle, once icons. The next is enabled by default on the themes render:"
What does it mean ?
That is the main problem when using a translation program or web site. It doesn't respect the meaning or the intent of the autor. Doesn't respect the structure of the phrase.
I don't mean to be disrespectful but I would not "publish" without having it proof read before. I would encourage you to get someone who is fluent in english to go through the document and rewrite sections of it.
Anyway, like I said, good effort.
Nice. Thanks Philip.
Thanks Philip! This is a big help. It must have been a lot of work.
Have I got something wrong ?

It is still very hard to read
e.g. Navigare becomes saililng.
Great effort, thanks so much for the great work
I cannot download it! Is this a joke??!!
Great job!!!!
This translation seems to have been done in a program, not by a person who speaks Spanish. If there were a wiki people like myself could properly translate it when we get time. If this is possible please do so and post the link.
@Unsettlingsilense: I agree the translation is REALLY bad! Not trying to bash anyone but it needs some serious work.
I have started to properly and accurately translate this text. It is a long text so it will take some time, especially since it is a holiday season in my country. If anyone else would like to collaborate let me know.
Greetings all,
You might not be aware but there is also a Italian Guide by "Eugene Toppi" BLENDER 2.5 GUIDA.
I have Google Translated it and intend to run it by the author to ask permission for putting up the Word document I'm halfway through putting together - I intend to use OpenOffice to convert to PDF if he gives the go ahead.
The first mention of the guide is here:
http://www.blender-tutorial.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2434&p=33875
The original file is here:

Happy Xmas and New Year to you all.
I made an english translation too. I tried to make it as accurate as possible. Here is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/yjjnj3ydzzy/guide_25.pdf
Oni, thank you. It has become just readable.
I have reached page 7.
What tutorial can I attack after this one ?
thanks for the effort..
