Thanks. You would think in this day and age it would be easier. Where's my Tricorder at? Lol!

I just pull up google translate and type in word for word. Its a bit time consuming but in the long run you can get a better translation.
This will give you a dynamic translation, which is great for on-the fly, but has the drawback that will keep changing as you move around (though can hit pause translation at any time). This works very well, I use this method all the time at work to check foreign documents by pointing my phone at the computer screen. |

I have a buncha them I've translated.
Code name: Condor File Name: Sternfield, Aaron Growing up in Brazil, all Condor ever wanted was to be able to fly. Not for him, flying lessons, though, he instead joined the Brazilian Army to become a paratrooper. Highly skilled, Condor manoeuvres through the sky as though he is flying, not on a parachute. His renowned skill and accuracy brought him to the attention of the Commandos Em Acao. Now they say, “The sky is Condor’s domain.” Estopim joined the Brazilian Army to learn discipline to control his short temper, which had got him into trouble throughout his childhood. He learned to focus his attention on weapons, he can assemble and disassemble any weapon he can lay his hands on, but his favourite weapons are grenades. He likes to use them to get to his favourite place: the middle of the action. Recruited to the Commandos Em Acao, he is respected by everybody, but sometimes his temper returns. To pursue martial arts, Werewolf isolated in the mountains, with Eastern teachers. His identity was never revealed and it is known only that it still lives, accompanied by a fierce wolf always ready to attack with claws and teeth, whoever approaches. Primarily a Commando! Werewolf so leaves his hiding place when called by the Cobras for a special night mission. And when that happens, you can hear the wolves howl in fear! Most of Armadilha’s background is unknown, including his real name. It is known he served with various guerrilla and insurgent forces in Africa where he learned everything he could about pitfalls, traps and ambushes. One of his major pleasures is to hear the chilling sound of bones breaking when they are caught in his nefarious traps. Even his fellow Cobras have been known to fall victim to them, after all how can anyone trust someone whose name means ‘Trap’? “Armadilha is suspicious of everything and everyone, he never leaves his body uncovered. Nobody has seen him without a helmet, vest and uniform. The Commandos joke that even if you get near him, you’ve fallen into a trap: the stench is terrible…” Green Ray is a born racer, one of a new generation of drivers in the Commandos, he feels the need for speed and loves racing motorcycles. There’s no bike he hasn’t rode. Green Ray pushes bikes to the maximum limits of their capabilities, often leaving only a 10th of a second for the fate of a mission: success or failure! Infantry trained, but prefers motorcycles or even vehicles to mount his attacks. “The rest of the Commandos like to make a bet with Green Ray: identify a motorcycle’s model, year of manufacture and engine capacity just by the sound. He never loses.” |

Midnight was scared of the dark as a child until one night the power went out when he was home alone. By the time the lights came back on at midnight, he had become so accustomed to the dark, he could tell people and objects in the shadows. Now, as a member of the Commandos, he is one of the best night snipers and Cobra know when he is around to pack up and go home!
Pontaria was scared of the dark as a child as he was frightened of the insects. Out hunting with his father, he got lost and wandered for days, living off insects and roots and got so used to the dark, he could shoot a fly out of the air! Now he loves the night and is one of the best snipers in the Commandos and thrives in the woods. Silently, White Dragon enters Cobra’s territory. His mission: to eliminate the sentries so the other Commandos can attack the fortress. Launching his unerring arrow, he takes out a sentry at a distance. He climbs the walls with his claws emerging from nowhere in front of the incredulous Cobras like a ghost. He draws his sword in a flash and the guard is dead. The way is clear for the Commandos. “Cobra have never seen White Dragon only the damage. He haunts the Cobras like a vision of cowards. This is for the best, they don’t know his ninja tradition.” |

The Antarctic base of the Commandos, was the victim of a real snowstorm. The scourge came sliding in on a jet-ski. It was a terrible Cobra agent, known to the dark side as Nevasca. With jet-skiing in his backpack and the special snowshoes, he approached stealthily and knocked out the guards with his freeze gun. Always protected by machine-gun fire, he skied back to his tank-sled - the Snow Abominable - and led the Cobra troops that devastated the base. To this day remembering the attack gives the Commandos a chill down their spine!
"The ice is his element. Born and raised in Antarctica, Nevasca acquired early on enough cold blood for his terrorist actions. When he attacks, the Commandos know they can get a cold!" Guess what Fireguard loved to do as a child? Light matches! “You will end up setting fire to the house, boy!” said his father. “I'll be a fire-fighter!” was what the boy said. Grew up to be a fireman and appeared in all the papers for saving a baby from a burning building. Famous, Fireguard was called to integrate into the Commandos and cut the cost of Cobras! “Our friend Fireguard and fire!” is what the Commandos say! Among the children’s toys, fire engines were the favourites of Bonfire. He always thought the sound of sirens and the courage of the fire-fighters was fantastic. So much so that, for him, the more fuel to the fire, the better. It is not for nothing that Bonfire was soon in command of the fire-fighters for the Commandos. Worse for the Cobras, because after Bonfire passes are that is left over is ashes. He was born to command. Helmet placed, intercom set, General Attack is ready for action. With extremely fast reasoning and a polar cold when making decisions, he is the right man for the most impossible missions! “He organized football championships, old comic books exchanged for new, led excursions with the whole class. With this leadership spirit he could only end up in the Army. In it for the Commandos, it was only a matter of time!” |
