Is there someone around who can translate Estonian?

[ErikMuller]

Hello,

I'm doing some research towards the Estonian Red Cross Order.

Somehow there were different versions.

I can understand the following:

Eesti Punase Risti teenetem?rk I klas = Estonian Res Cross Order 1st class

But what does this mean:

Eesti Punase Risti m?lestusm?rk II j?rgu I aste

Estonian Red Cross (Commemorative Badge?) II ??? Ist degree

Help would be appreciated.

With kind regards,

Erik M?ller

Literally, j?rk means grade and aste means degree, so you might say "II. Grade, I. Degree," but that sounds a little awkward in English. Also, aste can also mean grade and j?rk can mean degree.

M?lestusm?rk does mean commemorative (badge).

Thanks gents!

Another translation I need help with:

"Hollandi ja v?lismaade vaheliste suhete arendamise keskinstituudi dir"

The person in question was director of a steel manufacturing facility, but my dictionary doesn't give a translation for "keskinstituudi", nor do I get a handsom translation for the words in front of that.

I come as far as "Dutch ... foreign international (or chemistry) terms develep ... institute director".

Hi Eric,

Cant help myself but otherwise i can advise you to contact mr. Vilius Kavaliauskas. He must be able to translate it perfectly + will be able to help you in the search of awards of such things towards Dutch inhabitants.

Iff you do not have his contactinfo feel free to contact me about it (with E-Mail)

Cordial greetings,

Maybe literally, but in English, we would say "commemorative" for a badge or medal. An event might be "memorable."

Another translation I need help with:

"Hollandi ja v?lismaade vaheliste suhete arendamise keskinstituudi dir"

Something like "director of the central institute for the development of relations between Holland and abroad" or "Holland and foreigners".

Yes,its betters.

Director of institute of development of external relations between Holland and foreignes

Thanks! It's quite a difficult language when you only have an online dictionary and a small traveller's dictionary! And to think that when I visited Talinn last year I could manage myself in English almost everywhere

It is very hard language, but I like it!
