I need to order a specific edition of a Polish design magazine for my SO. I called their offices in Krakow, but the kind gentleman spoke little English, and my language elective 15 years ago was Spanish, so it was a bit of a good-natured mess.

Would someone be willing to translate an email message for me regarding how to pay, where to send, etc., then retranslate to English the repsonse?

I'd appreciate it, and thanks.

One of my technicians is fluent in Polish (his mother tongue). If you'll PM or email me, I'll be happy to lend a linguistic liason.

I also work with a couple Polish people, if you're interested. Also I'd give German or Russian a try - often more useful than English - in case you knew any German or Russian speakers...
