Need to hire translator in Nusco Nov. 5 2008

[laterbabe]

I plan to visit Nusco and have only one day, Nov. 5, 2008. I would like to hire a translator (possibly a student) to accompany my husband and myself
around the village. Does anyone have any idea how I can go about this? I have emailed the village offices, but have not received a reply.

Thanks

If you need someone to accompany you and translate what is being said then you need to ask about an INTERPRETER.

Someone who can interpret what is being said (spoken) will be easier to find than a 'translator' who deals with the written word. I would hazard a guess that many students could 'interpret' for you, but very few would know sufficient English to 'translate' properly. That 'may' be why no one replied to you...

I can e-mail my cousin in Italy and see if he has any suggestions for you. My family is also from Nusco, and still have family there. Have you done any research on your ancestors?
