[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Volhynian Germans in Brazil

[Jerry Frank]

This is a request for translation assistance but 
please read through this before you automatically delete it.

I have an 8 page history of the migration of 
German Volhynians to Brazil written in 
Portuguese.  We would like to have it translated 
into English.  This may not be a huge project for 
someone who at least has some background in both languages.

I tested some paragraphs in GOOGLE Translator and 
the English version comes out quite well, though 
certainly far from perfect.  The English would 
need to be cleaned up and checked for context 
problems.  For example, the sentence:

"A província teve suas divisas alteradas ao longo dos séculos."

is translated as:

"The province had its foreign currency changed over the centuries."

In English we might think this is reference to 
money but, in context, it is referring to 
political control over Volhynia.  So such 
inconsistencies have to be spotted and corrected.

There is no time limit for this project but it 
would be nice to have it back within a few months.

If you can help, please let us know and I will send the Word document to you.

Thank you.
