French>Italian or English>Italian nautical ? Oct 30, 2001

Hi Nikki,



I would very much receive work in the nautical field for translation into Italian form English and French. I hope this can be somehow useful to you. Yes, actually I did not thought about finding work in the field, although I have quite some knowledge regarding sailboats and yatching, form direct experience. I would very much appreciate receiving tips about finding clients for my languages in this field.

Sports fanatic! May 29, 2002

Hi Nikki,

I\'d love to translate sports-related documents (EN>FR, any sports, I love them all!). More specifically, although I love all sports I\'ve played football/rugby/squash/badminton all my life, and I\'m always reading specialised mags and sports sections (in both languages), which I think has given me a very good knowledge in terms of terminology etc. I hope you get in touch with me, I\'m very jealous of you mixing sports and work like you do!

Arts martiaux Jun 2, 2002

Hello Nikki,



Martials arts are my bag...



Mais aussi tout ce qui concerne les philosophies et arts d\'extreme-orient (plus particulièrement le Japon) avec comme langue source l\'espagnol et l\'anglais.

Je crois que ton annonce est ancienne mais please kindly bear in mind my proposal.



J\'ai vu que tu assisterai sans doute au Pow Wow chez Patrick 32 a San Sadorni.



On pourra en parler à cette occasion...<... See more
