Oh yes you are one quality lady. By the way I've been asked to translate a Lanka presentation and feel out of my depth this time. I hate to ask but how would you feel about helping?

Why not. If I find it not too difficult, I will help to translate.

It's a video, for subtitles. Have a look first and see if you are up for it and if so how shall we do it? A rough transcript or over skype. I have a bad YT subtitle mess from a bot but some of it makes no sense and bits of what he says are clearly missing. I have the german transcript too but that's even worse.

Phew, I watched 57 minutes. I am afraid Mr. Lanka is not the very best speaker...
The end of his sentences often has no real relation to the beginning of the sentence and the coherence in the longer sentences is often missing for me. This may be due to my lack of experience with the subject matter itself, but I fear it is also somewhat due to the fact that Lanka's expression is not always logical.
So, even in my own mother tongue, I would have difficulty putting what he says into a logic and comprehensibility and would actually have to change something, but then it would be my interpretation.

Very unfortunate, because there is a lack of good speakers and eloquence in this area. Sadly, I don't know anyone myself who knows anything about biology.

I cannot translate what I am unable to understand.

Though I think it would be fun to come in contact with you for work :)

Well you've helped me already by just confirming that I am not mad as I often do change his words around to make them understandable. It's a tough job and thankyou you've really helped me just with this knowledge. I am digging through it as best I can and will post the finished thing on here when it's done.
Thanx

You set yourself a tough job in going through this anyways.
