Dear pureskies,
my name is Francesco and I am an Italian boy.
I found your journal. It is amazing.
I would like to ask you, if I can translate the following tutorials from English to Italian. I would like to insert them in my forum: http://tutorialing.forumcommunity.net
This is a non-for profit forum.
You will be mentioned in the translation as original creator of the tutorials, with a link to your journal.
I hope in a positive answer.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Francesco

Hi Francesco, How are you?
I am so happy that you like my journal!
That is 100% fine with me! I am honoured that you like my tutorials enough to translate them into Italian!
Thank you very very much!

Best wishes,

Kate (pureskies)
