"I and all the people who have read your translation would like to compliment you on it. We have our own translator, who is very good but doesn't manage to capture everything the writer really means to say in a given context, so often the translation leaves a bit of a sour taste in one's mouth. It is rare to find someone who manages to translate exactly what is in your head: I think it is a gift. I'm really very happy with this collaboration in setting up our website. You are superb, Tanya. If we need translations again in the future, I will not hesitate to mention your name." [translation of a website]
