<p>Since I'm working on some German timeline rewrite for eq2wiki.net and there is no real "library" in the German speaking community at Valor I would love to be able to copy ingame book text with some kind of tool so I can then sort and rewrite it.</p><p>The english speaking pages are great but having to re-translate it all when it sits ingame on Valor is very painful and unfortunately often I need the precise translation for a faction name or such and can't just make it up. So any kind of idea that does not just mean me screenshot-retyping would be great. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>When I remember to turn my log file on....I have forgotten and, well, been pretty angry at myself ))</p><p>I open the book and read it page by page and those pages go into the log file. I'm assuming that the same would be true in German or French.</p><p>If I'm wrong my humble apologies in advance.</p>

<p>Hey Resstful, thanks for the reply. We had a debate about this yesterday night at Valor. People said this is only possible when you have a quest or such with the book running? Otherwise no book text would show up in the chat window and thus the logfile?</p><p>If that would be wrong I'd be very happy. But I haven't found any way under chat options in chat window or options (EQ2) button how to switch something like this on. I have a log file build now from what I see ingame though. But no book texts?</p>

<p>Books that are placed usually use the "page buttons" and won't post in your logs, but the books that pop up a text window like when you examine a lore and legend piece and have "links" to other pages will show up in the logs. Very few books use this method outside of quests as you pointed out.</p>
