Hello everybody!
First of all thank you for reading this posting! ))
There is someone out there that asked me to translate into english 6 very short sentences. I did it already but they have to be very good. And as I am not going to get paid for that, I can't pay it neither.
so my question is, if there is anyone willing to proofread these 6 very little sentences and tell me what's wrong (and how is right!) ;o))... See more

I thank you very much already!
And here there are, the sentences:
"Enter: dose rate"
"Position E: Input"
"Stop: Reset"
"Start: In 3 seconds"
"High dose"
"Limit of dose"

What is all about? Well there is a machine in which there is a little screen to put in some data for starting. And of course they can be reset.

Is there anyone willing to help me?

I thank you very much!

Many greetings,
Helena ▲ Collapse

Hi,

Is it Spanish into English? If so, it will help to have the original text, as now, is very difficult to tell.

Both source and target texts are needed Feb 24, 2006

Hi Helena,
I do not normally proofread English, so I cannot help you; but looking at your message, the first thing I thought is that you have to provide the source text so that whoever is going to revise it knows what was written in the original.
Cheers

Hola Rosa Maria!
Thank you very much for your answer.
The original, which is german is following:
"Dosis einstellen"
"Stelle E:Eingabe"
"Stop: Zurücksetzen"
"Start: In 3 sekunden"
"Hohe Dosis"
"Dosisgrenze"

Thank you very much, Rosa Maria for pointing this out: You are totally right. I just had forgotten!

Very kind regards,
Helena

Suggestion Feb 25, 2006

Hi Helena,

I would use
"Set dose rate" for "Dosis einstellen"
and
"Dose limit" instead of "limit of dose". The rest is ok IMO.

Regards and have a nice weekend!
Ute

Language requires four skills Feb 27, 2006

Good morning

There are four skills such as meaning, spelling, pronunciation and above all context.
I think the one who shoud help needs to know the context for better understanding.

Yours
Mr. Imad

Hello Imad!
Thank you for your answer.
About what you say, you are definetely right, but...
- spelling and pronunciation are in that case of no need at all.

- Meaning is what I was looking for (a "proofreader")
- Context: I have geiven all I have.

Thank you very much, once more and lovely gretings
Helena
