That is very odd. Here is the link that I provided:
http://www.coticule.be/contao/popup.php?src=tl_files/PDF%20articles/UniCot-methode-PO.pdf&download=1
I suspect that your browser drops everything that comes after the "contao/". That would indeed take you to the login page for the back end.

Here's an alternative link (that actually points to the same location):
http://www.coticule.be/tl_files/PDF%20articles/UniCot-methode-PO.pdf

I hope this one works.

Matt already sent me a script to fix a special secret Polish way to deal with hyphens. He said that the script will deal with it automatically (when I run it), so you don't have to correct hyphen mistakes. (I think ).

Kind regards,
Bart.

I just submitted the Italian verison of Unicot, thanks to Dov Prombaum, who some of you might no better by his forum moniker Chimensh. Thank you Dov. I owe you one.

I also submitted the hopefully final copy of the French Dilucot version, thanks to Laurent Planckaert and Wim Decraene. They are not so far away as Italy, I will feed them beer for their work hopefully anytime soon.

Cheers,
Bart.

The second link worked for me. File downloaded. I'll let you (Bart + Matt) know in case of any suggestions.

It actually fixes conjunctions (a, i, o, u, w, z - and, about, at, in, with), which are not supposed to be at the end of the line in Polish. It doesn't do anything with hyphenation. Bart, when we're all done with tweaking, you can send me an .indd file, I'll just apply Polish dictionary to it, and that will handle proper hyphenation.

best regards,
Matt

PS. Maro, please don't bother translating the image captions/descriptions, I've already done that, too.

Finished version of the Unicot article in French has been published:

With sincerest thanks to Laurent and WIm,

Hi.
I don´t know if the translation offer is still on, but I coul work in a Portuguese (from Brazil) version translation based on the english/italian versions if you guys think it´s valid.
But I have to be honest that there are some words like "coticule" that the official translation is still pending. I mean nobody translated that so far as far as I know.

Regards.

Oscar

Maybe we can turn it official. But I am sure I will have to go to the origin of the word, because in portuguese we have "cutícula" (related to finger nails) and also "cotícula"( related to stone/gold). But none aproches to the meaning of hone.
But that´s the catch about translation.
Regards.

There's no word? That's funny, considering that Ardennes uses Portuguese slate to back their non-combination hones.

Coticule is the name of the both the rock and the hones made from it. The word has Latin roots, and I can imagine other Latin languages, such as Portuguese having very similar words in their vocabulary. But Coticule (note that I always write it with a capital) is world-wide the scientifically accepted nomen for this particular type of rock.
The Germans refer to the hones as "Belgischer Brocken", but I think it is best to stick with Coticule in a language that has no widely used word for these hones. In instances where confusion would be possible, one can specify: "Belgian Coticule hone".

Translations of Sharpening Academy articles in any language are always welcome.

Best regards,
Bart.
