translation help

[Carrie]

Hi there. Can anyone help me translate this short message from a friend of mine in Kosovo into English? We've lost our translator and are having great difficulty keeping in touch. I am also looking for recommendations for someone who would be willing to translate about 2 pages a month between Albanian/English if anyone has recommendations.
Thanks.

hi carrie,
my mother tongue is Albanian. The phrase you have written on the forum is in English, but it has been written as it is read.

He says: Hello Carrie, I and my family are fine, how are you? Arta is here.

If you need any help with Albanian.... I offer to help.

Bye

P.s. You'd better tell your friend to write in Albanian, so that it can be much more easy for me to translate.

Laura, Thank you so much. I appreciate your willingness to help out. It's been about nine months that we've resorted to one line email messages every couple months to indicate that we are still ok but haven't truly been able to communicate in some great time. Please let me know how I can get in touch with you about future translation -- should I email you directly or contact you this way through the forum? Yesterday was my first time visiting so I don't quite know how it all works.

Thanks again for your generosity. I am so happy to get back in touch
Best wishes,
Carrie

Maybe it would be easier if you registered. You could send private messages to Laura and get emails when someone replies to a topic you're interested in.

Anyway, welcome in here!

hi carrie,
as didine advises, you should register in our forum and then you can send private messages to my e-mail address (once you have registered, you go on private messages and send a message to me.)

hear from you soon

bye
