#116709 - Translation
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I once worked with a certain Japanese microcontroller.
The manuals were written in Japanese, then translated into English by Germans!
Unsurprisingly, they were dreadful! :-(

Once you knew how the part worked, you could read the documents and work out what they meant... :-(

I am currently using a certain French GSM module.
The documentation is actually pretty good, but there are plenty of little "oddities" in them to raise a smile...
