Hi All I've noticed a few postings regarding translation services and thought I'd put another option out there. I've found the volunteer translators at Freelang very helpful. Basically you type (or copy) your text into a box (max 800 characters at a time) and a real person sends back a translation within a week. I've used their service for German and Hungarian translations and wouldn't have managed to write (or read) as many letters and emails in other languages without them. Here's the link to the website - http://www.freelang.net/ths/usr_contact.php Hope this is useful to some of you.
