Hi Diego, good to see you around.

I think we have to make some changes in this text for it to sound better in English. The original is not very well organized, I'm sure you are able to improve it a bit. This is a too literal translation.
Do you want to work on it a little more or do you prefer to hear a couple of suggestions?

I'm not saying the translation is wrong, but that the original is poorly written.

Oh! Thank you! :-)
I said I'd come back!
Would you mind if I asked what you don't like much in this translation?

For one thing:
the first line could be:
"I'm interested in buying two female ferrets."
I know that the original was different, but that's what I mean by "improving" it. Making the sentence in English the way it should have been in Portuguese. See what I mean?

You could use "purchase" instead of "buy" (for not repeating the same verb)
So, the second line could read:
"I want to know about the procedure (I have to observe) to carry out the purchase."

Also "documentation" appears 3 times. We can make the sentences different to avoid that.

the method of payment ----> the payment method

Think about it.

jovana_gaa,

Could you tell us the reason for rejecting this translation?

I couldn't go further than thinking about changing to 'purchase'. Congratulations! It sounds better now.
