Calling all native French speakers: i could use some help.I have to choose a translator for the Old Man Sailing book. I have a likely candidate but, speaking only “Restaurant French” myself, I have no idea if he’s any good.
He has translated the first 500 words. Now I need some French-speakers to read his version and tell me if i should give him the job.
Please leave a comment if you can help.
Hi, John,
You might connect with Dennison Berwick. He’s had much of his work translated to other languages. It’s about marine diesel basics, and more.
All the best to you.

Hi Old Man !!
As a native French speaker, and having sailed for 30 years on several types of sailboat, I think I have a reasonable knowledge of French in the field of sailing. I can assess your contractor’s translation.
Dear John
I would be pleased to help you . I lived in France for 15 years . I am Spanish/French bilingual.
Your book could also be translated into Spanish by the way . If you send me his translation I would gladly have a look
All the best
