I have a German friend who used to do transations for industry and has done for me too. Now retired but I will ask if she would be interested. Will it be purely voluntary?

Ok, I shall ask Ingrid if she would like to help.

Not only but also, my grandson Jordan is learning Spanish and is having a gap year in Chile from August this year. He will be teaching English in a school there and no doubt be fluent in Spanish this time in 2014. He will be studying Spanish at Nottingham University on his return and if time permits would like to help.

As an afterthought, should the need arise I have very good Sikh friends in Nottingham.

Dear Susan,

I have just come across your post, regarding translating for Vasculitis UK.

I am a BA German Studies student in my final year at the University of Birmingham. I am fluent in German, and take Translation Studies as one of my modules. I enjoy translating in both directions (German to English and vice versa). If the opportunity is still there, I would be very much willing to translate on a voluntary basis. I look forward to hearing from you.
