Как-то заходил однажды к тебе, и, ...
Text
Submitted by m.a.s
Source language: Russian

Как-то заходил однажды к тебе, и, наверное, твоя подруга была вместо тебя. У меня Интернет плохо работал в тот день, и мы не могли поговорить. Передай мои извинения, если можно. Она догадывается сама о ком речь. Скажи, что о востоковеде.
Вот ник был точно твой, с красными волосами. А турецкий флаг ты думаешь у многих моделей? Я востоковед и заинтересовался, и потому и помню. Ладно, наверное, кто-то другой сидел вместо (тебя).
Ну ладно, желаю всего хорошего и успехов в жизни. До свидания и удачи тебе. А где ответная любезность? Пока-пока. Чтоб весь мир был под твоим каблуком.
Remarks about the translation

Title
Internet talk
Translation
English

Translated by Felicitas
Target language: English

Once, I tried to talk to you, but your friend was probably there instead of you. My Internet worked badly that day and we couldn't talk. If it's possible, tell her that I'm sorry for that. She'll probably guess whom you are talking about. Tell her it's about the orientalist.
The username was definitely yours, with red hair. And do you think a lot of models have a Turkish flag? I'm an orientalist and I got interested, that's why I remember. Ok, I guess probably someone else has signed in from your account. Ok then, wish you all the best. Good luck. Good bye and take care. And where is your reciprocal courtesy? Bye-bye. May all the world be under your thumb.
Remarks about the translation
The talk is definitely about some Internet site or programme, that's why I've adjusted some points of the translation according to this meaning. I didn't quite understand the meaning of some phrases in the language of the original - for example, what does red hair have to do with the username? shouldn't it be about a profile picture or smth? but I've translated as it was written.
the idiom "быть под каблуком" was translated using the English analog

Hi Felicitas,
The translation looks fine, but the remarks in a translation into English must be written in English, so that the expert in charge will be able to understand them, OK?

Could you please do that?
Thanks.

Hi Felicitas!

As for me, I see just 2 things which should be corrected:
Someone has once tried to talk to you... --> Once I've tried to talk to you...(there is nothing about "someone" in the original)

Speak about the orientalist --> Tell her that it's orientalist/Say that you are talking about orientalist

What do you think?

yeah, thanks, those are nice corrections, I should do them, but I can't edit the translation now - it's being evaluated
how can that be changed?

About "Once I've tried..." is fine, but that second change...I don't understand the meaning

Agree with Sunnybebek

The second change:
She’ll probably guess whom you are talking about (about the orientalist)>>> Tell her that about orientalist (you are talking about).
