English term or phrase: Will anyone willing to translate pages?
I wonder if there is any volunteers to translate my website http://riddleweb.n2v.net

Of course, you won't have to do it all at one go. I thought I could e-mail you the text in small seperate series, and you could e-mail them back to me in German.

Anyone?

I thank you.

German translation:Wary of kids asking us to do their homework
Explanation:
Dear Sebastian, we are professionals, translating is our business. We can't do a website for free.
You may not master German, but you speak it.
Therefore: Translate your website yourself, with the help of friends. We may be ready to correct a difficult sentence or two.

Best regards

Maya

agree  mónica alfonso: with 'Post a job', but Kudoz questions have another aim.

agree  Astrid Elke Witte: I would not translate even one sentence as a Kudoz question. Everyone else who wants a translation done has to pay.
35 mins

disagree  Ulrike Lieder (X): I would strongly object to having someone put his entire website up for KudoZ, soentence by sentence. Post it as a job.

  -> On reflection, you're right!

disagree  Angela Dunskus-Gulick: Let's not abuse this system. This is help for translators, not free translations.
