:-) As I repeatedly told you, since system K' played NO ROLE in the
rest of his paper, and didn't even exist until there, it has zero
affect on any of my book.

I'll give you my off-the-cuff translation with it:

We introduce for this purpose A third coordinate
"Wir Fuehren zu diesen Zwecke noch EIN drittes Koordianten-

system K', which relative to system k is moving in
system K' ein, welches relativ zum System k derart in

parallel-translatory motion parallel to axis X,
Parallel-translationsbewegung parallel zur E-Achse

such that dessen origin of coordinates (moves) with THE
begriffen sei, dass sich dessen Koordinatenursprung mit DER

velocity –v on THE X-axis.
Geschwindigkeit -v auf DER E-Achse bewege."

Why do you think "der" means "a" (as in "ein") rather than "the",
and how come you only mistranslated it only in one of the places it
appears in the German version?
Your German version says,
"such that the origin of co-ordinates moves"
Why, then, did your "accurate" fourmi scam translate that as,
"such that the origin of co-ordinates [of system k] moves"
Where, harald, did the controversial "of system k" come from?

How come there is a comma after one of the later-pasted-in "K',"
symbols where it isn't present in your German and my English versions?
Is it because whoever created that 199+ scam copied it from the first
place it appeared in the original version and then pasted it into
every blank space in his copied and pasted word-processor version of
THAT?
Such a process could only have been done after computers were
invented, thus accounting for the late date of the scam-version versus
the original one. Why, then, harald, do you insist that the
meaningless "error", as to which K' goes where, was made by the
ORIGINAL translators rather than the latecomers; and that it's "quite
disastrous" for my book, "A Flower for Einstein"?
