This is basically an OT question, and if McMonkey or Curtsibling feel they must be dutiful and move this thread, I suppose I'll, but, frankly, the OT forum looks much like the clientele of the Mos Eisley Cantina these days. End disclaimer.
Does anyone here speak, and especially, read and write Estonian? I know there are a few multilingual people who frequent this forum, I'm just not fully aware of their repotoir. I'm doing some research for a project (not a Civ2 one, but one of interest nonetheless) about pre-WW1 Serbia. I found a great document that translated from Serbian quite well, except, inexplicably, several important are written in Estonian. Strangely, when I went to the online Estonian-English translation engines I could find, they reported "translating" the words, but, oddly kept the English translation in the Estonian script, which is useless to me! And, unlike with some other languages some of them offer, there's no Romanze button to translate the script.
As the thread title states, I'm grasping at straws, but if anyone can help, but I'd be most appreciative.
