Notes:
1) Under each paragraph of so of text, type out your translation.
(So I know to what the translation corresponds.)
2) Don't bother translating the input now, such as >OPEN THE MAILBOX,
etc. All the inputs will be translated as all together.
3) You do NOT need to translate sentences with a German article in them.
These sentences are usually simple, functional sentences that are
used repeatedly. The object following the German article indicates
that it is "plugged into" the sentence and could be, usually, just
about any object in the game. (These sentences all have the default
Feminine gender because the object names to be plugged in haven't
been translated yet.) The sentences with the German article will be
translated apart from the game transcript below.
4) If you run across a chunk of text that you've already translated, of
course there's no need to do it again. Hopefully there won't be alot
of these. But there will be some "repeat" chunks of text.
5) If you can put quotes around each paragraph of text, it would be
helpful. But if you forget, don't worry about it.
6) Some text may be seem bizarre or puzzling. You might as well not waste
your time trying to figure out exactly what they mean. I'll try
to explain them (or find someone who can).
7) Good luck.
West of House
You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front
door.
There is eine small mailbox here. (Renata: E.g., don't bother translating
this sentence)
>EXAMINE THE WHITE HOUSE
The house is a beautiful colonial house which is painted white.
It is clear that the owners must have been extremely wealthy.
>OPEN THE MAILBOX
Opening die small mailbox reveals eine leaflet.
>TAKE LEAFLET
Taken.

some of the most amazing territory ever seen by mortals. No computer should be
without one!"
