Swedish To English Philatelic Dictionary

Years ago there was a Swedish to English Philatelic Dictionary at
http://www.philea.se/Dictionary.html

It is long gone.

Is there another "To English" online Philatelic Dictionaries for any of the Scandinavian countries? Denmark Finland, Norway or Sweden?

A Danish to English guide would be very useful since I just got the AFA Denmark catalogue in the mail, and unlike Facit catalogues which are in Swedish and English, AFA is only in Danish.

Swedish-Danish-Norwegian... They are very similar. Once you have understanding for one, it will go a long way with the rest. So no specific need to have three different dictionaries IMHO.

Here's Finnish to English philatelic dictionary: http://www.kolumbus.fi/mkstamps/fintoeng.html

Same site also provides Finnish to Swedish dictionary http://www.kolumbus.fi/mkstamps/fintoswe.html

Neither lexicons are no longer maintained, so save a copy locally if you need them long term.

Sadly this link in the post above is broken, and I can't look up any terms.
I am after some information on two books, both very similar, and their Norwegian titles have me flummoxed. Beyond knowing they are about revenues, I really can't do any better with the free internet translation services than a mixture of sport, adjustment and stamp, which doesn't make much sense.
Can anyone help with either a translation of the titles or a replacement to the broken link in this thread so I can do more work on my own? Thank you very much for even reading about my predicament.

A shot in the dark......
I use a Russian link called YANDEX

You need to scan the page at say 400dpi
load the image into yandex and it spits out the translation.

Apparently superb for Russian (naturally) others can be challenging.
Offered for your consideration
https://translate.yandex.com/

If you get flumoxed, hit me with a scan and I'll give it a shot for you.

Thanks very much for the link. The website gives the following two translations :

Norges sportel -, stamp-and adjustment marks
Norges sportel -, aligner-and stampelmarker

I have my doubts, as they say.

I feel it is one of those things that is at once obvious to a native speaker and yet impenetrable for others.

I will have access to a larger public library on the weekend and can try a bigger dictionary.

Only one I have trouble with is Flemish
yet to find a translator for that.

Flemish is Dutch for the average practical purpose, Rod. Or did you mean Finnish?

No Geoff, Flemish,
I cannot recall what items I had at the time, I think Cinderellas,
Dutch was not giving any cognisant results.
When it next happens, I'll give you a shout.

Sportler er den betaling som ydes for utførelsen av statlige embedsforretninger.
Google translate:

[Sports] Edit: 'Sportler' is the payment made for the performance of government official business.

Rod, Flemish is not too hard if Dutch is your mother language. But it can be a problem if you speak some strange form of English like Australian! (Just kidding about that last one of course)Dutch itself is sort of challenging if you are not from there!


Peter

There is a facebook page https://www.facebook.com/stempelmerker/ "Revenue stamps of Norway. Stempelmerkel." that appears to be for an expert/dealer in the field and has content in both Norwegian and English. There's an email contact there, could be worth contacting.

Rod - If you consult me on Flemish, I'll hide! When in Belgium, I use my bad French, although in Ghent a waiter told us, "You're in Flanders, speak English".

It may be Peter, but, when I was a young lad, listening to a young lady speak Dutch had me weak at the knees. (swoon)

It may have carried on, later in life too,
I used to get up at all hours of the night, just to watch Anna Van der Breggan ride a pushbike.

Ha! I found a great solution for that - married a Dutch(-Canadian) woman - highly recommend :)

Thank you everyone for your suggestions, and especially to NSK for the link to pictures of some actual "sportel-merker". Here is the nicest of them. You can see the word sportelmerke faintly at the bottom of the photo



Every one of the free translation services tells me that "juster-" means adjustment, which sounds right, and I see the word is written on the stamps themselves, on the cover of the blue book. So it is not an adjustment to the stamp or its cancellation ... my best guess is it must be that the fee paid by the "juster-" stamp is somehow an addition or amendment to other fees.

Thanks again to everyone who has lent a hand. Wikipedia tells me that "Norwegian is one of the two official languages in Norway, along with Sámi, a Finno-Ugric language spoken by less than one percent of the population." So it is a good thing the stamps have stuck with the 99%, rather than with Sámi.
