These things do take time. I wish you the very best with this very worthwhile project.

Your post made me look at the book again. I do truly think that many people would appreciate you translating it.

Please let the forum know what happens.

Hello Kaapse Rebel,

It has been a while since these posts and I was wondering about your project.. I think it is an excellent idea and I’m sure that an English version of Celliers’ diary would be welcomed by all. How’s it going?

I must admit that progress has been slow, as my life has gotten quite a bit more busy. However, I have scanned most of the book in order to facilitate ease of use while translating. My interest in the project has been growing again lately, and I hope to get back at it again soon. Thank you for your interest.

Thank you. I certainly understand what you mean. Day jobs and family life often take over.

I’m so glad that you’re doing this project. I don’t read Afrikaans or Dutch whichever it’s written in. I do own a copy but cannot read it, so I’m very interested in your project.
