I purchased the HMS VICTORY BOW SECTION by PANART last year not realizing the the plans are all in Italian, the instructions thankfully are in multiple languages. I'm not sure what I can do about interpreting the language on the plans.
Any suggestions?

My Constructo plans are in Spanish, when I started the kit, I had a guy on my crew in LA that was from Spain, he translated a few things for me I didn’t understand. Get one of your Italian buddys over and a jug of Paisano, and let him go over the plans
 
If they are still in business, you can try emailing company and ask for English copy of instructions.

Maybe check their website, I know some like MS/ME have instructions online for many kits.
 
Unfortunately the manual for the 746 - bow section is not available for download

Do you have a smart phone ?

If yes, download the Google translate app.

When you open the app you will find you have 2 options you will use the most: taking a picture, then the software scan the text and translate it for you... 2 minutes total. I use that for the Chinese manual instruction. Another option is to focus the camera over the words and .... bang !! Instant translation.

With today's technology I don't bother more about the language of ship kits.

I hope this helps !!

Ps: you have to select the original language. When you have been using it for a while and in your selections you have, i.e. Chinese, Russian, Italian, etc... then the software select the language automatically.. Extraordinary!!!!
 
If you need to write an email to Panart, write the txt in the app. She translate it automatically to Italian. Then copy and paste it in your email and Done !!!.

For our hobby, with a smart phone beside you, when working on your kit, you will not have any language barrier.
