I'm working on updating the materials for Parageology to 5th edition, and was wondering if anyone had undertaken the project before,and would be willing to share their work. Barring that I was also wondering if there would be interest in seeing the final product?

Pegasus Press, Shadowrun's German publisher, has imported their translation into SR5. They would share their work for money.

Unfortunately I don't speak a lick of German anymore. Is it a straight translation or did they add stuff?

There's got to be tools out there to translate a PDF from [X] into English. You'd have to go over it and make numerous manual tweaks the automated software didn't get perfectly right, but still probably quicker than doing it purely from hand if someone's put the bulk of the effort into it already.

It is a straight translation, and Google Translate should be sufficient for you to get what it says, especially if you own the SR4, English version. All you need are the stats anyway. I don't know if they changed them much, anyway. The rituals and alchemy could be interesting.

I've translated the german book, but the entries are mixed up with several homebrew materials. I'm not sure I can post them though, copywrite and all....
