Urgent Help Needed [German, Italian, French]

MichaelVoell · Post by **MichaelVoell** » 19 Jun 2005 07:08

I am in urgent need of getting a few documents translated - they are contracts but I only need basic information from them. They are in German, Italian, French, and Swiss. If anyone is willing to help, please let me know. I have 24 hours to make this happen or it is undoubtedly the end of my job. Your kindness is appreciated and will be reciprocated!

Hi Michael

I recommend that you make the title more meaningful. 'Urgent' does not always work. Some people skip such titles altogether. And in any case, are you bring a tad dramatic?

Assuming that there are short pieces of text to translate, it is usually better to post the problem sentences or words direcly on the site.

Hope this helps.

Andreas

Thank you Andreas for the advice; I do apologize for being dramatic, but that is my human reaction to the situation I am in. Thanks again for the suggestion!

From a second reading, it seems that you want someone to extract bits of information from contracts written in French, German, Italian and explain them to you in English?

Is this correct ?

I say this because most people would immediately understand translation as a 'written translation of a text' - if my guess is correct then yuo do not want a translation as such but rather a bilingual .

Yes, that is correct. They are contracts for cellular services - so things like rate per minute, connection charges, term of the agreement, along with some other things.

You should definitely post the texts here. Then we can translate them. Otherwise it's going to be slightly difficult !
