Could you help me evaluate this translation please? The Dutch translation says
Hello,
I'm very glad / happy you have sent me a text message (by phone). I couldn't come. It turns out they are open on 1 January. I will go there to work, but if you want, we can go there together. xxx
(words between brackets are my clarifications, they are not in the translation.)
Is that ok?
Thank you
Hi again I have hanged the translation a little bit. It looks better but my only hesitation is about the verb "to turn out". I translated it into Turkish as if it was "I learnt that they are open..." I searched this verb in dictionnary and I think the two sentences are similar according to their meanings. Is it OK?
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Did you change the Turkish text? That was the original
I don't think you changed the translation (the Dutch text).
'they turned out to be' is something like 'I discovered they were', so 'I learnt that they are' is ok.
If you did change the Turkish text, could you change it back? Do you remember what it was like before you edited?
Hahahah so sorry I have changed it back, it's OK now. Besides, the meaning doesn't change and I think Dutch translation is OK too, according to your bridge.
