Do any of you guys speak Polish?
And if you do, would you be willing to translate a short story to English? Or link me to an English translation of some sort?

I really want to read "Droga, z której się nie wraca" by Andrzej Sapkowski.

Please help

there's more to translation than knowing the language, I am studying to become a translator and trust me it takes a while even for functional texts

damn really wanted to read it =\

Hopefully someone might have a link to a fan translation.

I'm a polish native speaker but it'd be impossible to do this just like that.

Like the other guy said it takes time.

Also all the sapkowski translations I've read suck ass to be honest. Everything comes across as a very dry and stiff prose which sapkowski is supposed to be anything but.

Part of that is because much of the lore is so slavic in character and very hard to properly present to someone who isn't familiar with all that.
