Trudy You're right! I'm too tired!:-/

Trudy Of course, I translate dicht Zentrifuges as 'sealed centrifuges' but I need a comparative degree for this.
Trudy Peters May 13, 2003:
There is no comparative here.
Non-ProZ.com May 13, 2003:
But I have just a problem with translating the comparative degree so that it can be unequivocal :-). If I write 'more leakproof centrifuges', it may mean 'more centrifuges which are leakproof'. :-)
