Translation of a Vietnamese letter needed - into English or German
Hello everyone!

I hope there's a Vietnamese-speaking person out there. I have a letter here which needs to be translated, I'd scan it and send it by email. I used to sponsor a little girl in Vietnam but the sponsorship ended because the family didn't need the help anymore. However, now I've received a letter and can't read it and there's nobody who I could ask for a translation. The letter is one page long, written by the mother, plus half a page written by a 7-years old girl. I suppose it's not difficult to read and I don't need a perfect translation, just some info about the content. There seems to be an address at the end of the letter, so if I had the possibility to continue writing to the family, I'd love to do so but do need someone for the translations - so any volunteers are welcome! By the way, I'm German, so a translation into German is also possible, course!

Greetings,
Daniela

Daniela, you're welcome to contact me about your letter. I also sponsor a little girl in Vietnam, and write to her and her family frequently in Vietnamese. I have noticed that the "translations" done of the children's letters are not very good, often inaccurate, and strip all the personality and feeling out of the letters. But I digress...

Sorry I didn't notice this msg. earlier, but there are so many non-translation posts in this forum, even advertisements :( that it's hard to keep up with the forum.

I can help you with that. I'm good with both languages. I'm Vietnamese and have been in the US for 26 years now.
