How long is it? What's it about? If it's technical, you'll need someone
with expertise in that area. If it's not, you'll still need to say
something about what audience it's aimed at, or the balance between
chattiness and formality could easily be wrong- among many other
considerations.

For the promise of a snog, what do you care?

Lynda,

I agree with Paul. Proofreading a translation is not so easy. It would
help if you gave more information so that people could judge how well
they would be able to help you with this. For example if it is one page
about the, Standard Transformed Gibbs Energy of Formation for Important
Biochemical Species, I am pretty sure that I won't be of much help.
