תרגום - שוודית-אנגלית - Det är när Christopher letar igenom sin fars rum...

The swedish text says nothing about the room being messy? My translation would be "It is when Christopher searches his fathers' room looking for his book but instead finds a letter from his mum. He reads the letter and finds out she is still alive.

As Christopher searches for his book in his fathers room he instead finds a letter from his mum. He reads the letter and discovers that she still is alive.

Hi Lilly,
the Swedish source is about present time.

Not: "was looking", "found", "was still alive".
Maybe: "is looking", "finds", is still alive"

Yes, Pia, you are right. It is present.
For "fars rum" I guess I really misunderstood its meaning. Sorry.

Should I edit or do you prefer to reject it?

Lillian,
why a "sad smiley", you have helped me many, many times when it comes to english...and now I could give something back I think.

Supose that it wasn't me you asked about edit or not..

Thanks, Pia

I'll edit.

And thanks to the others who helped: birte and jensp.

the first sentence is incorrect. It should be: Det är när Christopher letar efter sin bok i sin fars rum som har istället hittar ett brev från sin mamma.
