DUTCH TRANSLATIONS NEEDED
Marshall Burns, PhD, needs items from Dutch magazines translated, ranging from short paragraphs to two pages (about 200 to 2,000 words), which are required in research he is conducting. He is self-funding this project so he hopes to find a student(s) or retired person(s) to translate them for a good deal less than professional rates. He could cooperate to allow a student to earn course credit for this.
For more information and to discuss this project, please contact Marshall Burns by email at mb2613@ennex.com or phone (805) 451-4507.
