Joanne Kohler has offered to do German translations. Here is what she is offering:
I can easily do Fraktur. I have started working with German script, so I can't do that as well as Fraktur, but am willing to do that as well. I have a BA and an MA in German, lived in Germany for 21 years, and passed a translator's exam offered by the Hessian Ministry of Culture. I worked part-time, freelance as a translator when I lived in Germany.
