{{Translated page|fi|Teknisen piirustuksen välineet|3=It was translated using Google Translate, with some minor clean-up from a non-Finnish speaking editor. Unknown/uncertain words are preceded with a question mark, and the 'Finnish-centric' elements removed.|version=6658782}}

==Notes about the translation==

Being not an expert in the exact subject of this article, I had to rely on common knowledge. I used the following equivalents for Finnish words:

*''voipaperi'' = sandwich paper (greese-proof p.)

*''tussipiirrin'' = (lit. tusche stylus) [[technical pen]] (as I see it, using ''marker'' is not correct)

*''skissi'' = altho it in fi-article is given to mean a certain kind of paper, it's origin appears to be the same as {{lang-sv|skiss}}, {{lang-en|scetch}} - I left that out altogether ([[tracing paper]], drafting paper... dunno)

*after secong thought ''muovitussit'' (plur., lit. "plastic tusche") hardly means a polymer ink (altho there are p. inks :-), but just "ink used to write on plastic surface", I don't know. I let it stay in FIN for now.

*''tussi'' has double meaning also in FIN: both ink and, colloquially, felt-tip (fiber-tip) pens, well... I hesitated where it possibly meant the latter.

*''stylii'' and ''styluses'' are now both used. which is right?

*I left out at least following, alternative Finnish names for things, as it's doubtful if they have direct English equivalents: '' skissi, terässkissi, puolikuulto, hauenleuka, säätökolmio''.

In my opinion nothing important was lost. --[[User:J. Sketter|J. Sketter]] ([[User talk:J. Sketter|talk]]) 21:15, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

==Next step==

Well the Finnsih text is now here in full. Someone who masters the English well should check the text, and try to fix the few remaining problems. I'll remove useless templates. --[[User:J. Sketter|J. Sketter]] ([[User talk:J. Sketter|talk]]) 21:15, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
