Jetons and counters

I would urge collectors to consider this branch of exonumia which has been pretty much ignored since inception in the 15th century.

For myself, I find them fascinating because:

1) they often commemorate and document historical events.

2) can still be found for reasonable prices.

3) are much scarcer than currency

4) offer a challenge at identification.

Thus far, I've found the member supported Numista catalogue to be the most comprehensive in the world.

 Yes to all!

I have what I hope is an easy question; translations of Forum posts. In searching ‘jeton’, I found 4482 topics, most in French. With my rudimentary understanding of the language, I find I would dearly love to pursue many of these further.

I've learned that what shows up on my phone is very different than on a computer screen. 

So my question is whether or not it is possible to translate within the Forum format. Google translate works, but is way too slow.

If the answer is yes, I should be able to access the full format when I get a whopping great 5 gb of data next week. If no, then maybe it's time to brush up on French. Thanks.

 It is already there - maybe you did not notice 

 

 the first icon along the row is for translations.

I've just checked, if you're on the French side and you click the translate button, you immediately get an English translation:

 

 Beat me to it - was going to try that next - 

on the French side to see if it does translate to English - 

so yes it does. Good. I was first trying this example on the English pages 

 

 

 where after the translation the icon turns grey colour.

Well that was easy! My thanks to both. My phone is not able to do this, but at least I know it's possible, and a vast world has opened up.
