So when was the first translation of the Amaral book available?

[Redblossom]

But Michael Wright told a Judge,  under oath,  that he read a translated copy of the book on the internet shortly after it was published ...  didn't he  ?

Yes :
ID - When did they read the book and watch the documentary?
MW - They read the book when I sent them the translation that was on the internet in August 2008.[/s]

ETA, sorry quoted the wrong bit

The Judge asks whether he read the book of Gonçalo Amaral.
MW answers he read a translation on the internet.

The Judge asks "when".
MW Very shortly after the book was published.



***


As soon as the book was published in July 2008 Clarence Mitchell was being quoted by all the papers sayng their libel lawyers were going through it as a matter of urgency and swift legal action could be taken...now I dont know which libel lawyers he was referring to, Carter Ruck or Isabel Duarte, was she even hired back then? If not, then CR will have had it translated surely pdq?  Not wait for someone on the www to do it. Unless it was all talk. Anyway Im pretty sure the full book was not translated into English until well into 2009 at least. Unless someone knows better.

It would seem from your quote red that the book Wright allegedly read on the internet was the same one he allegedly passed to the McCanns in August 2008.

It's now pretty clear that no full translation existed at this time, either on the internet or elsewhere, so why is Wright dishonestly claiming there was ?

Good question. However much devils advocate one could play or attempt semantics,seems pretty clear to me he is talking about a translated book on the internet that boh he and the Mccanns read shortly after publication. if this was the case it would have been all around the forums but ths didnt happen for ages and ages.

To save me trawling back through the thread,  can someone please confirm

Has it been established which full translation of the book Michael Wright found on the internet,  and passed to the McCanns shortly after the book was published  ?

To save me trawling back as well, has it been confirmed that he said he'd read a full translation of the entire book shortly after it was published?

What some may consider to be "snippets" would seem to be more of a fairly lengthy summary in English posted almost as soon as the original was available for purchase.

But still only a summary and not a full translation as Wright seems to have claimed.

I referred to *snippets* quoted here and there, much much less than what you provided in that link, I had never read that...it is a longer summary, and it is clear by the writer it is a sumarry and not a book translation in full. MW however said the Mccanns read the book, reading a summary is not the same. MW also said when asked if he had read the book, said he had read a translation. OK maybe he was sloppy in his answer? In any case, if you google text from that page nothng originaly from that page  comes up apart from that blog, hardly something that spread all over the net. Oh and do you know that is the blog he was referring to?
