[TYPO3-shop] English translation

Hey everyone-
Instead of setting up my shop, I spent some time today painstakingly 
going through the tt_products tutorial file, copying one paragraph at a 
time and translating it on babelfish.altavista.com. Perhaps I should 
have asked first whether the document had ever been translated to 
english, before I did all this work! :)

Anyway I am stuck on a few places where the translation is obviously 
wrong and I couldn't make sense of it because I don't understand it so 
well, myself! If anyone out there would be so kind as to look over the 
places I highlighted through page 38, and make corrections, I can 
continue on with my life and perhaps soon finish translating the rest. 
The SXW file can be downloaded on my site:
 http://devmedio.com/fark/manual%20Engrish.sxw

The good news is that that translating the document forced me to pay 
more attention to each word, therefore I learned more than with most 
tutorials where I tend to skim over important parts and end up 
frustrated, ready to throw in the towel on Typo3 for good. The other 
good news is I'm actually learning a tiny bit of German, and that 
language is now #2 in my queue of things to be learned from Rosetta Stone.

Cheers!

- Jennie
