What ever help you find, tell her under no circumstances to rely on Goggle translate or any other online translator. Her profile will sound really strange.

Actually that was what I was going to send her to, her page on Google. We have a Spanish member who I sent that link to and he was really thankful of it. He said it helped a lot

A friend of mine here on FAA...has everything on his page in Polish...do you have to be premium member to get this???

Abbie, she can use it, but a native English speak should edit it. You can get some embarrassing results just using an on-line translator. There are particular ways you have to write something in the source language so that the translation isn't odd or embarrassing. And it will still be awkward.

Yes it can help. Jolanta if she uses it, she should write her original in clear sentences without complicated phrasing. It gets confused with prepositional phrases, and excessive adjectives. It tends to put adjectives next to the wrong noun. Actually, she would probably get a decent translation with Russian. It really freaks out with the Asian languages.

Thank you Abbie...and Mary...her page is now in Russian...just had a look...and it wasn't so much how she writes/responds to comments...it was to do with her page on FAA ...so she can understand all different sections of it and what they mean in her language...all is well now...thank you for your help!

Good evening. In Ukraine, now the night :) Thanks for the help Jolanta and everyone in this debate. Suddenly, the staff of the site there is someone who speaks Ukrainian or Russian? I would then ask him not to disturb all ...

No, staff speaks American and English

I will do my best to help with any problems though. Just send them to me in your own language to make it easier for you

The Truth? You're very kind. It is possible that tomorrow I gathered all the questions and write? And what address?

 

Добро пожаловать Lyudmila
Dobro pozhalovat' !



Google helped.

Людмила, вы можете написать мне, используя письмо на Fine Art America. Кликните по моей фотографии прямо здесь в сообщении и попадете на мою страницу под моей фотографией слева в колонке используйте - SEND PRIVATE MESSAGE. Кликните, откроется письмо - там напишите ваши вопросы - send внизу - означает "послать".

Are you all so sweet. I start to fall asleep as you with my questions, then you can start to regret that contacted me ... I always finish what I start. It is dangerous for the surrounding peaceful life :)))

I'm sorry, Jolanta, I thought you meant she wanted to write her bio in English.

Lyudmila, Google translate is very good for getting the main meaning. It's just not very good for "finished" text.

Sorry, forgive this senile old lady.

@Mary Bedy, old age - this adjective to the body, but never to the man himself. When I download my "Photo Smiles" that invite you to their page. Let's see then where evaporates age actually :). Thank U!

Thank you all for helping Lyudmila..I just knew I had to come here and help would flow freely...:)
Lyudmila...this is a great site...and I am so happy that you could join...I am glad I found you on Tsu!
Thank you Jenny...I forgot you speak Russian...how silly of me! :)
I feel happy now...thank you to all who participated in this discussion...and one more thing - you are in good hands Lyudmila! :)

Very funny, Lady I. F. A. S.
But it's proudly spelled: 'MERICAN!

Are you really in the titled elite?

I can see your autobiography now: Homeless lady to artist Lady --The evolution of a writer/artist/disciplinarian.

I could have done better with this post, but I'm just Russian here now and then elsewhere for other tasks.

Hello Lyudmila! Glad you found the help you needed!

Jolanta I am glad it all worked out well! :)

Of course, most 'Mericans are too haughty to do more than mangle just one other language. Or even our own. Once we spoke the King's English better than George's people did. But that's when schools were under local control and administration by the parents themselves. Ancient Latin and Greek are rarely taught to kids in the lower grades "these days", much less modern languages! I'm sure my grandson figures I knew Plato.
