The help screens in German offer more information than those in English.

Can anyone suggest how using Google translate I could convert them to English text?

I can view the help screens using VNC but have not found anyway to translate them.

You can also take a screen copy of the help files as an image. But I have not been able to extract the text.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

If you have an Android or iPhone, you can use Google's image search to translate text on the picture you have taken. So, basically, take a picture of the help screen with your mobile phone and then have Google translate the text on that image.

Google Image Translate

As others have said, Google Translate (used to be WordLens) offers instant translation though what it sees in the camera to, to english (if you download the language pack to the app). If the text was in a full web page where you are viewing it with a web browser, there are likely translation plug-in(extension) solutions that will auto-translate text on a web page to english.

Why don't you show us the picture? I think here are enough Germans who will translate it for you.

Perhaps we can open a specific thread only for such help translations for a CS 3. Similar what was done for the CS 3 manual as long as the manual was only available in German.

Hello everyone

I do lots of translations using Google-translator or other same kind of web-services.
Here is one example: Output characteristics of the accessory decoder.pdf (294kb) downloaded 23 time(s).

It was very easy:
Just connect to CS3 using it's IP-address, then choose CS3 language to German and choose help
and open the help-icon which you want to translate. after Germat text is visible just klick right mouse button and choose translate( I use chrome, but I think in most browsers is translate ).

The I did copy and paste all text to Word and saved it to .PDF format.

Result of translation is not very good English but I am sure you can read and understand

If you translate and make document with this way it is not very good English... and it is manual work so why bother

If you get German text right to clip-board and use deep-translator then you have to be careful and make all German lines as log as possible and le translator to make line brakes then translation will be sensible other vice translator don't make readable ext for you.
I made CS3-workbook translation with deep-translator and it really took time to do so. Result was quite good for myself but not so good to be published. ( and of course there is copyrights too)
