Translation request:

I doubt anything in the left column is translatable. Tried fixing this doc in Photoshop but it was difficult if not impossible.

Very interesting, Robert. I'm wondering if you can translate as quickly as you can read English. Can you just read it straight out? Kent

Hi Kent,

I can pretty much read it straight out BUT I always write out all my translations in longhand on paper first before responding to people's translation requests on the site.
