Go to google translate and type the letter in there... It will translate it for you!

For example.....

Mene google kääntää ja kirjoita kirjain siellä ... Se kääntää sen sinulle!

If you cannot find a person to translate Finnish on TOTV you might want to try something like this-- Superior, Professional English to Finnish Translation

I find the various Translators like Google leave a lot to be deisred in certain languages like German and probably Finnish.

If you have (or have access too) a scanner ..... you can scan it in and most of them have a program in the scanner software to convert it to a goggle document or some other word processing format (windows word). From there, you can run it through goggle translate and save the whole manually typing it thing.

BabbleFish Translator and Dictionary

BabbleFish Translator and Dictionary.

I set it for “Finnish to English” for you. I hope it stayed that way.

Just type in the message and it will translate for you.
Best wishes......

(I used this often when doing my genealogy with people in other countries. It was recommended to me by a male friend who is a high school language teacher.
