Through Fish-Eye Communications, I occasionally do translations from either Dutch or Indonesian to English. Given the stylistic peculiarities of the two source languages I will not translate to them. I also have considerable experience correcting the written English of non-native speakers. My rates are 20 euros or the equivalent in US dollars per hour, plus applicable taxes. For this service I can be reached at robertwessing@yahoo.com. Texts I have translated or corrected include:
