Translator needed
Hi
I am new to the site, but feel as if I know many of you already as I have been following the threads for many months and have really enjoyed following the banter, you all seem so friendly and supportive of each other.
Thought it was about time I registered, please bear with me if I make any slip-ups as I am new to posting as well!
Myself and OH live in the southeast of England, both still working (sadly!!) but due to retire in the next couple of years and hoping to spend more time in Spain but until then its just holidays!
We have small holiday apartment in Sanlucar de Barrameda which has been recently completed, minus kitchen.
We are going over in a couple of months and will be ordering a new kitchen during this time. We are still wearing our 'L' plates as far as our knowlege of the Spainish language is concerned (although we are plodding through M. Thomas and a variety of other courses...are we the only ones who can't manage to master 'how to speak Spainish to two weeks' courses in the required 2 weeks?) I'm going off the subject... Would really appreciate your help if anyone knows of a translator or similar service within the Sanlucar area that might be able to help us get the kitchen installed, we have been to a couple of kitchen shops in the area which should be fine and we have a kitchen plan already to go but we would feel more confident if we could get our ideas across more clearly in order to avoid costly mistakes.
Also as we only go over for holidays (at the moment) would love to hear from anyone else around that area.

Hi Mojod,
<Snip> they asked for a Translator, not an advertising plug.

Re: Translator needed
hi mojod, we too our new to this site and this is our first posting.
We live fairly near to where your apartment is. We are near Hinojos.
I speak fairly okay "get byable" spanish, but not probably enough to help you order your kitchen in ease...I am currently in the progress of getting a new kitchen myself. I did go to a shop, get the guy out, he did all the plans etc....2 weeks later i went back to give the okay....only to find the shop had now closed. Now back to square one
Have you thought of going to Ikea in Sevilla (our side)? They have good kitchens, and they also have people who can do the installation for you.Just a thought.

Re: Translator needed
Ah, My good friend JDR
If you would care to go to our site and look under the section 'What we do', you will see we offer a professional translation and interpreter service.
I think that is what Mojod is looking for but I shall let them decide.
Perhaps you wouldnt mind re-instating my original post!
