Romanian translations - the how, where and whys of this service.

You can now find Romanian translations online really easily. If you download the Google Chrome browser, it is super fast - and more importantly it will change all your web pages into your own language. Sadly it does not translate humor very well so I am hiding behind the fact if what I write does not make you smile in a second language - then blame Google.

Romanian subtitles on TV really simplify the English language and often use less offensive words. Swearing is especially watered down so my wife gets super - annoyed a she is keen to master English swear words - to use against me when she decides it is about time to explode again.

As Romanian TV translations are so dire, I can only wonder at how well foreign books get translated into Romanian - and it is understandable that Romanians think foreign authors are not a patch on their own writers. In reality it is the Romanian translation that is at fault - rather than the highly entertaining and incredibly witty original author.

Everywhere I go, I need Romanian translations of all I do. The children need a Romanian translator at parents’ evenings, which is great. I understand what is asked in Romanian but anything more detailed than well-behaved and hard worker and I need a little help. There was an experiment to see if we could run a school without making any translations - under the theory we are an International school. It resulted in our school secretaries being inundated with confused parents, who wanted to know what to do with a piece of paper in a foreign language. Ever since we have sent out letters in English, Romanian and Turkish. I would like to see translations of the school reports into their local language.

If you open a firm, get married (or I guess divorced) or buy land, you will need to employ a legal translator to do the work for you as this is a safeguard the state has in place so you understand exactly what you are doing and you don't end up getting married rather than buy an apartment (a big party with a woman in white is a bit of give away at any house warming!)

Fortunately, for me, I seem to have reached the end of my legal requirements - all land and property goes directly to baby Victor, no plans to divorce or remarry here, and buying a home in Romania was so tough the first time around, so no chance of making any changes there! Tell me about your experiences of Romanian translations. How accurate were they? Why did you need them? What was the result of using them?
