Joined: 15/10/2006(UTC) Posts: 2,319 Location: Washington, Pacific Northwest		Here is my translation of the CS3/3plus German manual into English. It still contains mostly German screenshots, but the text has been translated to the best of my ability. Feedback on errata and improvements is welcomed. Central Station 3plus en - Rev. 2016-11-04.pdf (10,635kb) downloaded 2,546 time(s). Edited by moderator 20 November 2016 10:56:20(UTC)  | Reason: Updated to complete translation.

And that was an easy one. The stuff I'd expect to screw up is the rail / modeling specific terminology. Yep, I'll fix that. Seeing no one chimed in and there were some thumbs up (and no on at Stummi's indicated they were already on it), I'll follow this through. Should take a few more weeks (I need to carve out a few hours at a whack to work this and Friday afternoons seems to be the time that works).. but I'll get there. Keep the reviews coming, especially now that I'll be hitting the detailed operational sections.

Joined: 15/10/2006(UTC) Posts: 2,319 Location: Washington, Pacific Northwest		At this point, yes, I'd like to get errata feedback. Importantly, anyone who DOES have a CS3/plus, as I do not, I need input on what the CS3 screen option/field/tab text actually says with the CS3 set to "English" language, as I"m guessing as to what Märklin programmed into it. For example: pg 13, function setup, the 3rd option of "Switch function", "Impulse Function", and "Ablauffunktion", beyond verifying (or correcting) that it says Switch and Impulse, I need to know what the 3rd option is. It can be "Macro", it can be "Sequence", etc.

Most times the english translation of the german text uses about the same space.. if the text gets longer then it gets problematic. I'll try and abbreviate. For now I want to stick to just what Märklin said in their manual. If Acrobat Pro DC allowed insertion of a tool-tip/pop-up text on mouse over, I'd maybe add it there, but that doesn't seem to be an option.

The manual talks about the usage, not the information-technological or electrical/signaling connectivity. So you can use several of them in parallel (ie at the same time, simultaneously, in conjunction, cooperatively, together, etc) I've changed it to "together".

Output Mobile Station not sure what "Output" is conveying Added Locomotive Card, as there was room. For the S88, I was thinking to say its an S88N direction connection port, but thought I'd just stick with what Märklin wrote, translated. But as there is room adding ".. to connect an S88 decoder such as (60881/60883)" may make sense. The concern I have is (though unlikely) by putting in the product codes of other hardware, it ties the manual too much to the hardware of today. I know the community loves to talk in terms of part numbers, but I'd rather use "S88 AC(60881)/ S88 DC(60883)" I guess. So does S88N confuse the issue more? Is detail about what modules it is intended for (in Oct 2016) necessary? "output" - thats what Märklin calls it; I could change it to "Mobile Station output". Thoughts ? I don't want to get into the task of parsing their editorial decisions and rethinking them as I work through it, or I'll never get done, but its good to discuss them here and maybe do make some of the changes. And more importantly, as the PDF sequence is page 1-2-4-3-5... should I fix the page numbering by making the third page be page "3" and the fourth page be page "4"?

Do you mean page 3 (PDF document page 4 of 38) under the "Connection to Programming Track" ? The translation is what Märklin wrote, and talks to the programming of vehicles on the programming track. Does one use the programming track to program accessories as well (DCC and MM2)? I ask because the first sentence talks about how (in addition to no electrical contact to the layout), you may not connect any additional accessories (consumers) such as lights, switch decoders, etc).

An errata candidate. (at least in grammar / context) Lights = no, understandably Switch Decoders need to be programmed, but while writing may be done "on the main" it is normally practical to configure before you screw the item in place. And if you do wish to read the configuration data then the programming track is the only option (for those devices that are not mFX capable)

I am quite happy with that - the need was to ensure that any implication that a 6088 or 60880 (as provided by Marklin) could be used was quashed. Quote: So does S88N confuse the issue more? Yes, it confuses, as it is not a term found in the Marklin product descriptions - If it is used then it , and quite a few other examples, should mean the addition of a Glossary Quote: "output" - thats what Märklin calls it; I could change it to "Mobile Station output". Its not an output - it is a "port" or just "socket/connector"

I note your name in the pdf properties, but I think it should be noted in the body text somewhere - "translated by Minok". preferably with a version/date and maybe a URL link to the source I would go as far as to suggest a pg.0 cover sheet to offer an overview of what this is all about. Included might be a bit of a glossary of terms / bibliography - hyperlinked from the body text where appropriate e.g. your S88N.

I'll go with "Output / Connection"

I'll try and keep my attachment in the first post up to date and delete the old ones from the website's data (as it is a 10MB file). Adding additional pages is beyond the current effort, there's only so much one can do to a PDF in Acrobat Pro, as PDF is designed to be an 'end format' rather than an easily edited format. Maybe in the future...

Marklin would realistically be expected to eventually produce a manual in languages other than German. If they see your work here they may ... 1- rush out a EN release because they are embarrassed 2- consider there is less urgency for them to do it immediately themselves 3- combine resources Personally I am not confident that option 1 would be much better than the raw google/literal translation It certainly will be deficient in some of the aspects expected in a user manual. Further, if they have yet to finish the English translations within the unit , English screenshots will not be available anyway. Option 2 gives us, the User community, the opportunity to convey not just the translation of language and grammar but to indicate the type of information we see as being needed I have no idea if option 3 is possible. Royalties to yourself and Juhan(webmaster) would be a start. So either we(you) do a literal translation with the knowledge that it will be shortly replaced/superseded... or significant added value is provided so that its contribution cannot be ignored - either by English speaking users or Marklin.

I do see the benefit of option 2 (or 3 but thats beyond our control) - so I guess I'm coming around to doing some editorial changes as the work gets done. So keep the suggestions coming, within the constraints (for the moment) that the amount of text one can add may be very limited per paragraph.

Joined: 15/10/2006(UTC) Posts: 2,319 Location: Washington, Pacific Northwest		Need some clarification help on a term. The CS3 manual makes use of the term "platte" which can refer to the base board, a layer, foundation or other terms in English. I'm going with 'board' for the time being, but need clarity on what the right term is in the context of Märklin model railroading. I'm not finding it in the CS2 English manual, or the usage of the term "Platte" in this context in the CS2 German manual.

"Track Board" it is. FYI, I've dropped 'solenoid' from the usage, since it doesn't make sense in the world of some accessories having no solenoids (light driven signals).

Joined: 15/10/2006(UTC) Posts: 2,319 Location: Washington, Pacific Northwest		So I need some help again. ON the CS3, in the track layout menu, when adding track guide accessories... (Manual page 22) First, in the "add" list below signals, lights, turntables, other items, S88 contacts, there is an entry. What is it? I've tentatively translated it as "track course". But need to know what it is on the menu. Then once you select that option, you get a list of these accessories which includes the "buffer stop", "tunnel", <something>, bridge, <something else>. The <something> is the most problematic, because "Brückenwiderstand" translates into bridge resistor, which is an electrical engineering term and not at all the civil engineering/ bridge building component that is meant. For the English I've guessed at "support".. can you tell me what this is? Finally, the <something else>. I guessed at "track course" butt need to know what that is. (last item in the list)

Even those of us that do not have, probably won't have a CS 3, for some period to time, its nice to know that a English manual is available. My profound thanks also, Regards, gene

Just thought Id mention that I had trouble with the editing and deleting Locos as I did not quite understand the process as I was trying to us the wrong spanner, and the German screen shots did not help me either. A Youtude video solved the problem for me and made the translation far clearer. This may help other (like me) confused English speaking modellers of trying to get their head around this new technology.

Had already my X-mas last Friday, 9th of December: my CS 3+ were delivered! Believe it or not: 11 months waiting time came to an end! Even the complete content of the parcel could not disturb my pleasure. Because beside the CS 3+ was not really very much more in the package. content: CS 3+ - 2 connector cabels (only 1 m long! each) - booklet "assembly instructions and notes for using the central station" with 6 sheets of paper. Finish. The topics inside these "assembly instructions and notes for using the central station" safety notes technical notes limitations of the 20226 Central Station placing the device in operation note Connections note tip That's it, but all these in 8 different languages on 12 pages!!! - wow. So no joke: no instruction manual inside! But a note says: “Visit www.maerklin.de to find a Central Station 3/3 plus (60226/60216) detailed instruction manual available as a PDF download.” Then the tip follows: “Tip! Enter the item number in the Search field to quickly reach the product page. The manual is found under Most Important Facts.” Sorry folks – I cannot stop laughing! Download Minoks superb translation of the CS manual. You will not get anything better, because you get nothing from Maerklin, except it is in German. So we only have Minoks translation of the German manual. Thanks Minok and bill Maerklin for your work! No SD card is coming with the CS, but you may get it in computer, electronic, photo shops. The internal memory is 4 GB and the CS supports a SD card up to a max. of 32 GB. (see p 35 on Minok's manual translation (Mmt)).

I was struggling with trying to use my CS3+, having to scroll through pages on my laptop and juggling with the controller. Now I just place the relevant page next to CS3 & follow the instructions. Much easier, thanks again. John.
