You could try one of the online Translators although they are not that good. Personally I wouldn't buy from a Country if I couldn't speak their language it can lead to all sorts of problems, too much hassle but thats just me.
Perhaps someone who reads this board and speaks Spanish and English or Chinese and English might offer to help you. There are many kind people who come here who might offer to help you. Lets hope so.

eileangfb- See I was right. There are some kind people who come to this board. Its a pity we couldn't get some kind of list going for people who need help translating.
People who are willing to help could post their ID and the languages they speak. I am not keen on these online Translators not as good as the real thing. Can anybody think of a reason why this wouldnt work?

Quote a4butterflies: "Can anybody think of a reason why this wouldnt work?"

One example:
Hot in English can translate be translate into two Chinese words, 1. Spicy hot, 2. Tempurature hot.

Online translator can't figure out which one to use...

YES, I know why ONLINE Translators don't work, but if we had eBay members willing to translate for others I would assume that they would know the different words and meanings and having read the piece in need of translation would be able to give the correct definition.
Am I making sense or is this "double dutch"?. :)

I remember last year someone got together a list of people who were willing to translate languages. Don't know whatever became of the list. I was on it though.

cheers,
Michelle
