Need some help with translation (Italian/English)

[eric74]

Hi all,

I have written a couple of erotic stories in Italian (my native language).
I am looking for a someone with average/some knowledge of Italian, to help me translate these stories to English, so I can publish them on Lit.

Any volunteer? PM me!

Eric

Sorry, but my Italian is quite limited and I doubt my MIL {who does speak Italian fluently} would agree to translate erotica. However, there is an Italian forum. Perhaps someone there could help.

You wrote the comment well enough, so your understanding of English came through okay. Not sure what your problem is?

Thanks for the replies!

My concern is actually related to the erotic terms and the way "certain things" are usually said in English because, they can be really different from Italian and may sound unnatural if translated word-by-word.

Also, my English is self-taught and coming from a technical education; I find difficult to describe some body movement or sexual positions.

I actually need help from someone who is more an English mother-tongue with some knowledge of Italian, rather than the opposite.

You'll find plenty of help in the Writer's Resources. They have sections on naming body parts and describing realistic sex.

Good luck Eric.
