Need help

Hey guys ,
particly new here
basicly my mom wants to get a new e-reader now the trouble is that she understands little english , so she would need an e-reader that translates to her native language which is czech . Is there any device that does this?
Another thing is , that she wants to read chech books and english books translated to czech .
Is there any e-reader that does this? Translating possibly?

There are e-readers in her country , but i wouldnt know if she could dowloand the books from here (us) and if they would translate english books.

Any ideas??
Thanks guys

P.S - If this is possible , i am looking to get it for her as an x-mas present

Personally I don't think ereaders will support czeck but perhaps others will prove me wrong. That said the best way to read electronic books, in my opinion, in her native language is to download and install open office software for free from http://cs.openoffice.org/index.html. Once that is done open office will open any ebook files that you might download and will translate to her native language. Great things here is that it is fluent in czech it also speaks hundreds of other languages as well and can help her learn English because it can understand and work with both languages in the same document. Once you have the document in czech I believe you can then upload it to a reader and display it in czech as long as Open Office gets to the book to translate it to czech.

Do you also know about translate.google.com that also supports czech and can help with ay web site. Simply enter the web address of the web site into the translate box and the web site into what ever language you have told it to translate to.

Good to have your company, Pat. We do have members here from CR, so here's hoping you'll soon get some useful advice. Best wishes. Neil

ebook Readers that display czech ebooks? Yes, you'll find a few.
Readers that do translation? No, you'll not find any.
Even computer-based translation is not going to be satisfactory for literature. It is barely acceptable for news reports on the web.

What you need to do is, first, locate an ebookstore that sells ebooks in czech. Maybe look for PD ebooks. (Mobipocket.com seems to have a few but the listing didn't look too promising.)

Once you know you have a source of content, and know what format that content comes in, *then* you can go looking for a reader device that supports the desired content.

Content first, reader second.
Good luck!

Thanks guys .
It seemes that i should find an e-book that can open up the files. that the book is in. so if the books is .abc then the e-book needs to read .abc files right?

Thanks! , Pat
