Jurek, John and Carmen As a native speaker of English who does not speak another language I have no direct experience in  translating NLP and transformational grammar terminology from English to another language.  Therefore I have little to contribute to this fascinating subject. What I do think this topic is worthy of its own thread rather than being buried deep in a historical thread that began its life as "Meta- Dialogue to Mr Grinder" (sic) To that end I make my minor contribution in new thread called Translating NLP. I look forward to what unfolds in the new thread. Regards Michael
