Enameling Terms
Translation Form

Welcome to the Glass on Metal Translation Project!

Please help your fellow enamelers across the globe
by completing as many words and terms below.
If you do not know the proper translation, please
leave blank, if the word is the same, enter 'same',
or if the translation is not applicable, please leave blank.
Enamelers worldwide thank you for your help!

 
 Derivatives of any language are accepted,
but may not be useful to many, so the particular
derivative may not be posted.

We cannot currently post languages with a specialized
character set (i.e. Japanese, Korean, etc.) as not everyone
will have the appropriate character set installed on their
computer (not to mention that many will not be able to 
read it!)  Please submit translations of these languages
only if there is an appropriate version in a
Western European character set.
(Special characters, such as þ, Á, Ê, Ò, È, Ô are acceptable.)

Translated words and terms received thus far
are being compiled into a useable database.
These translations will be available soon.
