Update on translating Hippolytus' "Books on Chronology"

Just a quick update, I’ve been very busy being in a friend’s wedding and beginning a new job.  However I made good headway with Hippolytus’s “Books on Chronology” and have translated (at least roughly) about 3% of it.  I expect to move at a faster pace as my schedule frees up and as I become more accustomed to Hippolytus’s manner of writing.  I am again reminded of a large a project this is, it will likely take me well over a year before I get a rough draft.

My biggest obstacle so far has been understanding the German notes and introduction.  My German is just not good enough, as I can only understand the most rudimentary sentence.  Has anyone had any luck with automated German translation?  Let me know if you have any ideas.
