Dutch translator
 
I have a letter written to me by a great aunt in the Netherlands several years ago. I can’t read it because I don’t read Dutch. I wonder if there is anyone in the villages who might translate the letter for me.

Google Translate

I took two semesters of Reading Dutch at the U of MN but was usually only reading children's books in Dutch.

I was the only student in the class so got a lot of attention.

This was back in the 1989- 1990 though.

I could make out some of it but that would be all....

While I have never used this group, I have seen lots of recommendations that it works well and for free.

I recommend DeepL for free online translations. Here the link: https://www.deepl.com/translator

The translations are much better than with Google Translator. Try them both.

I worked for a Dutch transport company for many years, and I was told the reason all Dutch people speak English or another language, is that nobody ever bothers to learn Dutch, because it is so hard.
Not as bad as Finnish though. That is off the scale of incomprehension!

If not, my sister-in-law has a pen pal from Holland that could do it I suspect. They visit once a year but a copy could be mailed to her and I am pretty certain she would be willing to translate it.

Go onto GOOGLE TRANSLATE.

Yes, I can do that for you. Was born and lived in Holland for 34 years.
I don’t know how to get in contact with you as I don’t want to put my contact info here.

If you can scan to your computer, Google translate will show it in English.

Go on internet and search for English to Dutch translation. Type in the text as written and see what happens. I do this when I am translating German to English text from my cousins in Austria.

Yep. Download any of the translators. I have a friend in Sicily and we correspond regularly using the translator on line. Its good to keep on your phone for everyday issues too.
