I don't think these would be of help.  The Debian translators pages
appears to be for those wanting to help out translating the Debian
documentation from English to whatever.  The text I would like checked
isn't part of a Debian package (yet), so I wouldn't use a Debian
resource to do the translatations - just of of politness.

There are currently 180 e-mail addresses (I just checked) signed up to
the SLUG mail-list, now some of those will be duplicates as some sign up
their work and home e-mails, but there must be a number of our members
some who speak German, French and others languages resonably well.

This project of mine will need some translation done.  Most of it is
still to much in flux to be translated, but this little bit is stable.
I want human translaters - people I can trust, I just don't trust the
robot ones; their results can be just a little too comic at times.  I
kinda hoped that there would be a few on this list would like to help
out.
