Translator needed

[chili-das-schaf.livejournal.com]

Hello!

I'm not a learner of Russian but need somebody to help me with a translation from English (or German) to Russian and back. From reading the rules I don't feel that this against community policies, but if it still  is, I apologize and will delete the post immediately.

Backstory: A girl from Russia who visited me and my family in Germany when I was a child got into contact with us after fourteen years. Unfortunately she doesn't speak German or English and my family doesn't speak Russian. In October last year we wrote her a letter with the help of  gailochka from communications and now she contacted us again with the help of her boyfriend who unfortunately only speaks very little English. We managed to exchange email adresses and now I'm searching somebody who would be willing to translate the email exchange between us from English to Russian and back.  I can promise that it won't be a flood of emails, just an exchange to get an update on each other's lives and eventually organize a meeting.

Many thanks in advance. You'd be doing me and my family a huge favour. I can't offer any translation helps concerning Russian, but if you ever need something translated from English to German and back, just ask.

I found two people who will help me. Thanks everyone for replying!

I mean how can I find the letter

actually I have been an exchange student myself long time ago in USA, so I am glad to here that some "exchange families" fid each other even years later :)

Thanks so much!

I think it's easiest if we just exchange email adresses and I write the email to Olga (that's her name) to you and you send it back translated to me? And when I get her reply I'd forward it to you?

You could also try to find people for translating from Russian to German and back wihtout English.

Well, I thought the chance was higher to find somebody who also speaks English but you are of course right, I simply forgot to put it in the request as an option, did so now.

Well, if you would prefer to have German translations, I'll be glad to help you

That would be of course a lot easier.
Thanks so much :)

I think I'll split it up, that makes it less work for everybody involved. My family left the writing of the emails to me and for me it's the same if I write German or English. So I'll write the mails TO Olga in English to avatarakali and forward the replies FROM Olga to you so you can translate them into German for my family?

My email adress is this LJ user name @livejournal.com.
