    Hey Fella,

    I would have a look at a service such as one hour translation. They are pretty cheap and provide a very professional service. They will be able to translate your response also.

    Or just ask your supplier to send over an English version. IF they want your business, I would have thought they will do it for you...

    Use Google Chrome and Google will translate it. The translation will not be perfect, but it should be close enough.

      Find the nearest restaurant of that culture and language in your hometown. Purchase a meal and ask for a translation. Maybe have a drink or two. Just don't drink and drive home.

    You can try Google webpage translate.


    Off topic: Have you ever contacted the supplier before? Be careful that it has a high risk of scam.

      If the supplier has sent you information in a language other than English, that would be a sign that they will be difficult to deal with.

      Any supplier worth dealing with will have at least one employee that can read and write English, and most have one who can speak the language as well.

      The world is now a global village and the days of needing a translator when buying anything are long gone. English is the universal language of business and any company, wherever they are located, must be able to use that language if they want to trade internationally.
