Translation errors<\/p>\n

I deeply regret some errors in the translation of my letter to
\nthe editor which appeared on this newspaper on June 22, 1996.<\/p>\n

First, I heard about the plan to strip Goethe-Institute
\nBandung of its cultural role, leaving it merely as a German
\nlanguage institute. There was no mention of its complete closure
\nlike the institutes in Surabaya and Medan.<\/p>\n

Second, Gruenewald is a painter, not a writer, and I learn a
\nlot from his paintings and writings on him. Besides, in the
\nsentence \"It would have been difficult for me ... etc.\", what I
\nmean is that I am not talking about my difficulty in visualizing
\nmyself, but in visualizing my own work (drawing).<\/p>\n

Last, the word \"With\" in the sentence \"With German technology
\netc...,\" I would suggest that the word \"While\" be used instead or
\n\"At the moment when...\" as a translation for ketika, so as not to
\ngive the impression that Goethe, Schubert and other German
\nartists and scholars are fading into the background because of
\nthe country's technology and industrial products.<\/p>\n
