But I can't work out this one http://www.neocollect.com/item/8766/

Just a suggestion, based on this converter: I clicked on "400", then "300", then "50", and then "2". Those were the digits/characters that, to me, looked closest to what your token shows. And voilà ...

Result: 1992
That is year 752 (5752) in the Hebrew calendar.


Mal, the images gets better once you click on them. :)

Now that is a cracking link!  8)  Makes perfect sense now, even if the English made me chortle. 
For example "One who wants to manually convert the Hebrew number to arable numerals should firstly define the numerical value of every letter and then summarize them all."  ;D  Many thanks ;D

Malcolm, I blame the bloke who scanned it :-[
In my defence, the asimonim do seem somewhat blurred after the Germans stopped producing them.

Keep in mind that, for most people in this world, English is merely a tool or bridge language. ;) The author's Russian will surely be better than his English, but the point is to get the message across - and that works fine. Actually Andrey, the "creator" of this Time Machine, is a member here, and I find his many date conversion tools and tips to be amazing. End of commercial break. Nah, I really mean it.

No criticism intended for a wonderful resource.  8)  I am in awe of people writing in a foreign language. 

Sometimes I wonder if Monty Python actually did produce that dictionary  ;)

Dear redwine, that's correct, some of my phrases look funny for native speakers  ;)

I'd be very grateful if you could paraphrase the above mentioned sentence (as well as others that do not look good enough) to make it better :) I've actucally been translating most of the content from my Russian version (which is due to obvious reasons far more verbose), it happened in 2010, if I'm not mistaken.

My aim is to make everything in the app as good as possible, so I'd love to hear about all the sentences and phrases that look sort of weird for an English-speaking person. If you provide me with better ones, I'll definitely replace old with new ones.  ::)
