Who understands Spanish?
Strange request, I know.
BUT someone has asked me if she could translate Private Pondering into Spanish and re-post it on AO3. She has already translated other fanfic already. But as I don't speak Spanish at all, I can not say if the translations are good or not.
Could someone please take a look at this:
(Spanish version of "What to do when your flatmate is homocidal")
or this
(Spanish version of "The Progress of Sherlock Holmes")
or this
(Spanish version of "Just a Kiss")
and tell me about the quality of the translation? Preferably by PM, as I don't want to open a "Judge the work of others" thread. I just like to know if my story would be in good hands if I agree to it!
Thank you!

Re: Who understands Spanish?
Good idea, Schmiezi. Especially since your story is not so easy to translate because of the word collections.

Re: Who understands Spanish?
She wants to stick to the alliterations, that's why it will take a while to translate the first chapter. That gives me extra time to find someone who understands what she writes.
Help...!
