[WNDW] German translation

[Jim Forster]

Hello Tilman,

This is fantastic!   Yes, the DE/AT/CH people involved in developing  
country work could benefit.   Additionally, most of the material in  
the book is not really specific to developing countries, so it could  
be useful for people that want to learn about wireless for use with  
DE/AT/Ch areas.

We do not have any plans for professional translation into German,  
nor do I know any other volunteer effort underway.   Congratulations  
on being the first!

Tomas is organizing the various translation efforts.   I imagine he,  
or Rob, or Marco will be contacting your at some point to get the  
translation for posting.

PS: Finally, a non-english version that I will have some (limited)  
ability to read, if I exercise my long-ago high school German!
