Hi, I have managed to find a download the full official Skoda Service manual for the Octy 2.

Great - however, it's all in Czech !! Grrrr :(

Anyone know of an application that will translate the text in PDF's into English. Even broken English would suit me fine.

Free CD of the manual to the best helpers

TIA Nick

You could use Adobe to export the manual as a text file (Or download a free trial of Acrobat Pro which should allow you to save it as a Word Document) and then find some on-line resource to translate that, the formatting can be a bit strange though.

Is it the Owners Manual you have? Or a specific service manual as used by dealer technicians?

The Owners Manuals are already available in English - see http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/121974-official-octavia-ii-facelift-documentation-available-for-download-from-skoda-as/

Apologies if thats not what you are talking about

Try BABELFISH on the internet - you can put paragraphs in to it - or give it a URL and it translates between two selected languages

Don't think I would want to try to repair my Skoda (or anything else, for that matter) following a manual translated by a free on-line web translator

Nah, I just want it for info and reference.

Thanks, it's the actual service manual as used by Skoda techs. I could only find the Czech version to download..

Thanks, had a look at Babelfish but it will only do 150 words at a time. I have about 600pages of text!!! Bugger!
