Thread: Help translate this?

Hi I just need a quick translation. Please no online translators. Thanks.


Jose Sabogal was born in Lima Peru and was born in 1888. He died 1956. Jose Sabogal was a very talented artist and was influenced by his South American heritage. His paintings are very beautiful and are mostly of people and animals. He started painting when he was just 4 years old and started selling painings when he was 10.

Jose Sbogal nació en Lima, Perù, en 1888. Muriò en 1956.
Fue un artista talentoso influenciado por su herencia sudamericana. Sus pinturas son realmente hermosas y son en su mayoría de personas y animales. Comenzò a pintar cuando tenía apenas cuatros años y empezò a verder sus obras a los diez años.

Do you want us to do your work for you, or to help you do yours?

Nevermind, Hugocar... some other people have already done the work for him... I think we should try to encourage students to study rather than doing their homework immediately...

But that's just my opinion.

Mariacecilia,

"Some other people" is me. I think it not a question of State. Just wanted to give him a hand as some of you has done with me as well.

The fact that he establishes "no online translators" shows a habit of having someone else do his job for him.
I'm ok with someone telling me, "I fell behind" or "I'm way over my head" as long as there is a lesson to be learned, honest people will be helped.

That's cool Diego, I'm pretty sure this guy is getting help on other forums, good deeds are always cool.
