Hi there
I have just signed up to volunteer for the internationalization project and the welcome email i got had many grammar errors, e.g.
"Please, wait our email before to login again. You have been not activate yet. In the meanwhile, check your curriculum and fill it as possible you can of information about you."
The following would be more appropriate:
"Please, wait for our email before login in again, as your registration has not yet been activated. Meanwhile, please check your curriculum and complete it as far as possible with your information"
Just so it will make EuroCV look better :) I have also found other errors on the website, please let me know if you would like me to proof read

Hi again
Sorry to insist but I have now received the confirmation email and there are dozens and dozens of errors. Quite frankly this doesn't make EuroCV look good or professional at all and many potential EuroCV translators are probably put off by this. I can correct these for you if you'd like, just let me know.

Hi there - thanks for your reply but I meant grammar/vocabulary/syntax errors, to the point where many times it is unclear what the meaning is. There are many in the website as well, that's why I offered to correct them for you. I think EuroCV is a brilliant idea but you need to present a good image otherwise many people won't take you seriously. Sorry I hope I don't sound too mean, but it's better to be honest :)

Hi Judith,
we appreciate your honesty.
Unfortunately we have translated the English version starting from the Italian and now we are paying the consequences of this decision. We are all volunteers and we have very little spare time.
Have you received our email?
Thanks again for your interest in our community.
