My boss, in all his wisdom, has purchased Dutch versions of Photoshop (CS), which is basically a huge pain in the butter when trying to follow tutorials or find where a menu item has been moved to.

"Hey anyone know what the Dutch word is for snap?"

Has anyone got a better method of learning to navigate around foreign ground than printing out screen shots of an English version menu?

why would your boss buy a dutch version?

possible solutions:

1) try using one of the many online translators to get the english equivalents.
2) buy a manual (english) and use it to dig your way through.
3) return the copies of pshop your boss bought and do it right.

Dutch company. (Yes I know that's no excuse)

I was soooooooooo looking forward to working on the familiar ground of Photoshop as Ulead Photo Impact has been their weapon of choice over the years.

Not that Photo Impact is such a bad tool for web related work, it's just very very hard to adjust to after learning Photoshop.
