Very short translation

[Edward M Dumanis]

I am sure that there are many on this list who will be able to assist a
local refugee support group but I would question the ethics of such a
request.  I would be willing to help a colleague but the cost of such a
translation by a professional translation agency is surely affordable by
any small group; besides, we should not be in the business of competing
with professional translators and translation agencies.

Some of immigrants including former refugees have become professional
translators themselves, and, I am sure, will appreciate if you would
support their business. It's just my 2 cents on this matter.

Sincerely,

Edward Dumanis <dumanis at acsu.buffalo.edu>
