looking for volunteer English-Estonian translator
Caroline
Estonia with whom I dearly wish to communicate more thoroughly. As a
result, I am looking for a volunteer to translate a letter in English
from me into Estonian for her.
Any suggestions?
Alex Larkin
Tell her to write in Russian, then I'll help.
Alex.
Dmitry
She asked if someone can translate her letter from English to
Estonian. Why do you reply if you can't do it? If she needed a
translation from English to Russian she would ask in Russian forum. I
hope that's clear.
Caroline
late 50s/early 60s know Russian?
I greatly appreciate your willingness to help me.--Caroline

Probably, most people 20 Years old and above know Russian. Estonia was
part of Soviet Union between 1945-91, because of it, 1/3 of all
Estonian residents are ethnic Russians. Sorry if I can't help you with
your problem, but if you willing to pay, you probably can find
translators that you need, go to www.yahoo.com type what you need and
search. Good luck.

have her write her letter in Russian. I will do so immediately.
Because of the time it takes mail to cross the Atlatic, I suspect I
won't have anything from her for a few weeks at the earliest.
I'll contact you off list if I receive anything.--Caroline
Martin
I wouldn't rely on Alex's advice. In another post to this newgroup Alex
advocates wiping out the Baltic states with nuclear weapons of mass
destruction. I suspect that if you write to your relative in Russian, she
may be deeply offended. I suggest you contact one of the Estonian Societies
listed below for advice on translating your letter. (I presume you are in
the USA)

Martin

Obviously I wasn't serious, anyone with brain noticed that but you're

Please don't, its all politics. Because of 1945-91 occupation, still
alot Estonians somewhat fearful of anything Russian. Like Martin said,
writing in Russian is not a good idea, might bring bad memories. Good
luck.
