<div style="direction:ltr">I need to have a document translated for the purpose of understanding it (no need for a certified translation). I would appreciate off-list recommendations for translators or services you're happy with and, for bonus points, are
economical. </div>
<div style="direction:ltr"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">Thanks in advance.</div>
