I'd like to thank you all for your answers to my question about the
different translations of 'pilot'.
The response came very quick and was very inspiring. I now have versions
from Portugal (a lot of people reacted from this country), Japan (al lot of
different variations), Greece, Iceland, Finland, Russia, Sweden, China,
Danmark and Indonesia !
The reason I asked: I'm looking for a name for my own (small) business.
I haven't made a choice yet, but maybe the name will be based on your
version. Thanks again !
Goodbye,     Erik.
