I'm probably not that well known, even less so around here but oh well. Its mostly my own fault.
I really don't expect any kind of reply on this but it's just that i got nothing to lose and everything to gain so it's not like anything bad can really come of asking.
I am a Classic Sonic the Hedgehog fan and a while back, i ask able to buy one of the three German audio stories. a friend has supplied me with copies of the missing 2, which i had to clean up and toy with. Either way, I speak very little German. This three Audio stories (it's a series that tells one story) are in German and so, i can't understand too much of what is going on, but I run a big but sadly underrated Classic Sonic the Hedgehog website and i would very much like to put an English script translation for these stories for everyone to enjoy.
each one is 40 minutes long, making a total of 2 hours. I've been asking around for help for some time but either people don't know enough German to be able to help, or they are fair to busy (or some other reason is given for not being able to help), mostly the former since I don't know many German people that well. Due to different matters, I am unable to hire a translator to do some work for me, i lose enough money running the site, let alone trying to spend more on something like this, so that is a problem.
Really, This would be the kind of project a fan would more enjoy. If i can help with any favor in return or such like, I'll try my best. What I'm looking for is someone that can either just transcribe it all in German, so i can then work on translation (via a number of tools and stuff, I can handle translating text, but not audio) or a translation. It doesn't need to be perfect, I have some basic experience in working on translations with someone that speaks the language, and having to clean up some of the grammer and spellings and such like to help with translations.
Like I said, I don't expect much if any reply to this, and I don't really have anything to lose. It's just i know there seam to be a lot of nice Germans around here, so it's worth a try ^_^
Thank you for any replies I get, or atlest for taking the time to read this.

Well, hi there. If you don't have any clear deadline, I'd give it a try, although I'm already buried with work. Just PM me with, say, the first audio story and I'll see how long it takes me.
