We have until January first to install these machines.       ພວກ​ເຮົາມີ​ເວລາ​ໄປ​ຈົນ​ເຖິງ​ວັນ​ທີ​ນຶ່ງ​ມັງກອນ​ສຳລັບ​ການ​ຕິດ​ຕັ້ງ​ເຄຶ່ອງ​ກົນ​ໄກ​ດັ່ງກ່າວ.

We're under no deadline pressure.  ພວກ​ເຮົາບໍ່​ມີ​ບໍ່​ຄວາມ​ກົດ​ດັນ​ຍ້ອນ​ການ​ກຳນົດ​ເວລາ​ເສັ້ນ​ຕາຍ.

Blake:       Yes, again, as I told you, we are preparing a translation of the Chinese manual we have now...

                  ... and we expect that to be ready in a short time.

Gomez:    By a short time ... could you give me an estimate?

Blake:       Uh, I'd like to say two weeks, but I'd have to get back to you.

                  But probably about two or three weeks.

Gomez:    Oh, that sounds quite reasonable.

                   As you know, we have until January first to install these machines and get them operating ...

                  ... so we're under no deadline pressure here.

Blake:       Okay, well, that gives us a fair amount of time to work with.

Gomez:    Plenty of time.  That sounds good, Mr. Blake.
