Is it possible to scan a letter I received from Spain and have the whole letter translated?

Well obviously, but you will have to try yourself first, we are all volunteers and students here, we help if we can but we are not a machine... - annierats, Apr 27, 2016
It is possible that some of us could do it, but it is really hard to say without seeing it. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 27, 2016
Thank you. I typed the spanish letter into translator. The translation is a little off but I can understand what she is saying in her letter. - jfallavena, Apr 27, 2016

Welcome to the forum. As Annie says we are all people who like learning languages and helping others. A few people speak fluent Spanish most of the rest of us have different strengths and weaknesses.

Is your letter from a friend or is it more formal? There is a translator on site which should be good enough to give you an idea of the meaning.

It may not work well on idioms and if it is a formal letter from a Bank, Doctor or lawyer may need to be translated with more care.

Do you speak or read any Spanish?

It would be better if you could work some of it yourself then ask where you are stuck.

Good luck

Thank you for you response. I am beginner speaking Spanish. My letter is from a family member in Spain. I shall type in the letter and translate. - jfallavena, Apr 27, 2016
Is the family member a native speaker? Watch out for idioms - I use Word reference the Collins dictionary is good for idioms. - Mardle, Apr 27, 2016
