Hmmm.
a) I will have to edit the Greek translation so it's not in all capitals so the English translation will have to be edited accordingly
b ) can anyone help with the original? Some parts of the Greek translations don't make much sense and that, of course, reflects on the English one.
Other than that I think the "χωρίσεις" should be translated in a way showing that we're talking about a couple's separation, "divorce" but I can't think of a way right now

irini, why would you edit the original so that it's not in capitals? That's the way the requester wrote it, so that's the way it should be translated, in my opinion. If you change it, it's just going to be more work for all of us.

Thanks for the tip regarding "χωρίσεις" - I changed it from "leave" to "break up".

If I am not mistaken the original is in Albanian. The Greek's just a translation. If not I apologise

Oh - Sorry! You're right - only the second sentence appears to be in all caps. I will edit the English accordingly.

It would be nice if an Albanian expert could have a look at the English translation here and tell us if it's correct.

OK, irini and mideia, we have a problem here - it seems that the Greek translation was incorrect, and thus my English translation is also incorrect. We may need to start all over again with this one.

Let me fix the English text first, although I really think that both the Greek and the English should be rejected.

OK; I've edited my translation according to lora29's note, accepted my own translation, and donated the points to lora29.
