| Because of the international interest in ES, concern has been raised in using the freely available calculators, which are only in English. The language barrier can be overcome with the translating facility of Excel. Excel has the capability of performing translations from English to another language. By clicking Review on the spreadsheet, the Translate tab opens for use. The translation works well, but does leave the English acronyms. Either they can be used as they are or manually edited with language specific acronyms. |
