Does somebody know...?
Dec 6^th, 2006 at 1:50am

Does somebody know if Bruce's books are in Spanish also? My mom is very interested in reading his material. I have talked to her about this website and Bruce first book and second( which I am reading right now). The only problem is, she leaves in Sudamerica and she does not speak or read English. For that reason I would love to send her the first and second book(in Spanish). We talk often over the phone about our things; but always, between our conversations, we talk about this website and what I am learning from Bruce book. My mom believes there is an afterlife. She told me she used to go out of her body when she was a little girl without having any knowledge of other states of counciousness. When she became an adult she understood by reading some material, about the fact that we have an afterlife.
Well, my point is if Bruce books are not in Spanish, I will try to make some notes and send them to her (also one of my sister is interested) Thanks to everyone.
Love and gratitude

I don't know the answer though, so I sent it to the publisher. They will get back to either you through your PMs here (Personal Messages) or through me and I'll post the answer here. We'd all like to see Bruce's books get more exposure so I hoe we get a good answer! Best wishes, Bets

Reply #2 - Dec 6^th, 2006 at 2:44pm Hi again, Marcela and others, Unfortunately, Bob Freidman of Hampton Roads Publishing says that they do not have plans yet to translate Bruce's books into Spanish. I don't know if writing to the publisher with more information would help. When Bruce gets back from Poland we could talk to him about it. Betson

I just looked at amazon, no German issue too... most Germans can understand English (at least a bit), but unfortunately most Germans are too lazy to read English books. Monroes are translated into German. Would be interesting to find out if Monroes books in German were a success for the publishers; if they are, probably also Moens books could be successful in German translation (about 100 million German talkers in Europe). But that's only my speculation, don't know much about book-publishing-business.

Spooky

Thank you so much Betson for the information. I have to talk to mom and tell her she needs to wait for the Spanish version a little longer. In the mind time, I have to explain her ( in Spanish) the best I can about the focus levels, the retrievals, etc.
I really don't want to do it, because I would like for her to read from Bruce's books and get her own experience. But, I can keep her interested until the Spanish version comes out. She loves the fact that there is people on Bruce website where you can talk freely about such controversial issue as the afterlife. I wish it could be an Spanish website where she could share her early experiences(OBE) and not be judged by other people who do not have the enlightment to see that there are other states of consciousness. As I said before in other posts I feel blessed to have found this site and most of all people like you who listens and understand me. I do not post to much but I am always here, reading what other members have to say and their experiences.
Thanks, love and gratitude!

Reply #5 - Dec 8^th, 2006 at 12:45am until the Spanish comes out, the computers on the market now are able to translate into any preference language you desire, insofar what is here on the internet and Bruce may have an E-book. a friend of mine has the computer read to her! technology is really taking off...

Hi Alysia, yes I know there is a way to make a computer translate English to almost any language. But, this is the situation; you have to pay a company to translate your pages. There are sites for free, but their translation is horrible! I work in a construction company and the other day I needed to write a memo in Spanish using constructions terms and tool names I have never heard before( even in my own language) Oh my Gosh, first of all the sentences from English to Spanish were awkward and the name of the tools and construction terminologies did not change. I was in deep…Thanks God I have my thesaurus with me.
What I going to do is just little by a little explain to mom what Bruce have experienced and how reading this book had helped me to understand certain things I was confused with.
Alysia , thank you anyway for answer me back. Hey! How is your book going? Did I mention before that the cover of your book is beautiful? I think I did, but I say it again is beautiful!!!
Love and Gratitude

let us know Marcela if Babelfish works..maybe spirit wants you to translate for your mother and this way might be better for her?

never thought about it but new words are born sometimes huh? would be a problem in any language.

thank you for inquiring of the book. I am already thinking of the next book! I am not dead yet, a good sign!!

I am pleased with the cover too, my daughter helped alot. she always surprises me what she can do, and what she knows about me.

My books in other languages
Reply #9 - Feb 10^th, 2007 at 4:46pm

To Those Interested,

The way my books typically become available in languages other than English is that a publisher in, for example Poland, takes an interest in publishing my books in Polish. That publisher buys the rights from Hampton Roads to publish the book, typically from 1200 to 2000 USD for those rights for a period of about 4 years. The publisher then has the book translated and prints and sells the Polish language version.

In order for my books to be published in Spanish, German, French, etc. a publisher in one of those countries has to become aware of my books and feel the audience is large enough to make it financially feasible. I would have thought that something like Spanish would have been the first other language for my books, but it turned out to be Polish.

In Denmark none of the existing publishers was interested and so a private party decided to self publish my first book for me in Danish.

So, if you would liike to see my books published in another language the first step is to find a publisher who might be interested in selling them. You might consider something like a little letter writing campaign to such a publisher as a way to try to get it started.

Thanks,

Bruce
