Help translating Thai please?

[DaveBowman]

Hi everyone, I have some pictures of a conversation that I need help translating from Thai into English. Please contact me by email at <email address deleted> if you can help and I would be very thankful.

Thank you so much and I hope someone might help me.

You're probably should pay and get it translated at an agency than asking random strangers on some forum to do it for free for you.

[DaveBowman]

Thank you for your response. Sometimes people in a community are happy to share their skills with one another, so I figured it was worth a try. Not everyone is motivated solely by money.

Of course, but you are obviously motivated by your refusal to spend any money.

In additional, your text is apparently too sensitive to be posted on a public forum, so you are asking somebody to contact you by email to have you send it to you and translate it for you, then send it back to you. All this at no cost....

Good luck. Hope you will find this person who is not motivated solely by money.

The normal procedure here is to post whatever you need to be translated, then anyone in here can help out doing it and it will also be a benefit for others who may have in the past or in the future similar text as you to translate.

Since this service will be only benefit to you personally, it is already a major turn off for people in here to do anything about it for free.

Okay thanks again for your response. I was unaware of the usual protocol. To be honest it is a little bit of a painful matter as you might imagine and I feel bad and frankly it's embarrassing. It's about 10-12 screenshots of messages so I didn't want to get all spammy but what the hell. I'll post a few shots and maybe someone can give me the gist of it and I'll either be reassured or know that I have to cut the cord. Thanks.

Try https://www.fiverr.com if you don't need a certificated translation.

I have them used quite a lot and they are cheaper than local translation services.

To overcome the embarrassing bit standard procedure is to replace "I have some pictures of a conversation that I need help translating from Thai into English" with "A friend of mine has some pictures of a conversation that he needs help etc."

wow

Yeah if you post it up then people often have a bit of fun using it as a sorta project.

Usually the users in this subsection are much more circumspect than in some of the other sections, so likely won't give you much grief about the actual content (Probably best to blank out your real name or contact details though, if they're in the screenshot, as this is still the internet lol).

Don't worry too much if it is sensitive information, as you're using a username not your real name.

I think this forum has many members wanting to improve their Thai - translating things does this.

I think this forum has many members wanting to improve their Thai - translating things does this.

Normally I would agree with you, but this forum IMHO doesnt exist to translate facebook stalkers requests for translation.

There are many members on here with more than an adequate grasp of the Thai language, heck we are lucky to have Thais post on here and correct our mistakes.

But why the heck should they waste their time translating some of the gibberish that is posted on here from some love struck schmuck who cant control his jealousy?

Sorry for the rant, the guy should either put up or shut up.
