Please help to my work.
Can anybody help with translation of the Distribution part of the species description?
Thanks in advance.

---

Sorry, I know how to handle a Chinese dictionary but this would take me more than a day (maybe even two). Time I just don't have. :( Loepa?

---

autotranslator!
http://www.google.ru/language_tools?hl=ru
from Chinese to English

---

Sorry, I can not use autotranslator because I am not able to rewrite Chinese words. I do not need full translation of the description. I d like to know DISTRIBUTION of the species in Chinese Provinces.
Best regards.

Beijing, Heilongjiang, Hebei, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Sichuan

Dear proctoss, thanks for idea. I have found names of Provinces in two languiges here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Republic_of_China

I hope I am correct:
? Běijīng (北京市)
? Héběi (河北)
? Hēilóngjiāng ((657;(857;江)
? Jiāngxī (江西)
? Sìchuān (四川)
? Zhèjiāng (浙江)

Paul, thank you!
I hope you have not spent the whole night for this job.
And now I know how to use smileys!

I did not spend the whole night translating, I also used wikipedia. :P

Input of the Chinese symbols isn't a problem when support of the corresponding locale settings (IME, etc.) is installed in Windows 2000 or higher (or the Language Kit in MacOS), but one is supposed to know at least the basics of Chinese... It's much easier with Japanese, you can enter kana symbols and choose the correct substitute from a drop-down list (of course some patience and accuracy still needed...)

and one day, it China turns the first potency.... we must know Mandarin! :|:o

Impressive (feel myself rather ignorant...)

Many thanks! Very interesting to compare with other descriptions. E.g., Front wings are light-brownish-ocherous to dark-brownish-red in the Russian litrerature.

Feel relieved: one cannot beat a Chinese a his own game. :)

---

:) I forgot that Cyrillic symbols look foreign enough for many, too...

Oh, so long thread. I feel guilty myself, therefore look on this moth finally.)
