Translation / proofread

Hi all
Sorry, i may be in the wrong NG but i need help and someone here may be able to help me out.
I have a bussiness documantation that i had translated through a proffessional (??) online translator.
My english is not perfect but i am in real doubt, that this is a good translation. So i would appreciate it very much if someone who has some time to spare and would care to help, could have a look at the following PDF file:
http://www.ballonreisen.ch/Dossier.pdf
and let me know what you think about it.
Should i have it redone all over?
Are there only a few changes that have to be made? What is is your opinion??
Please replay only to funks(at)ballonfahrten(dot)ch

Thanks for your time
Hans

  • [/nq] I'm afraid that the English looks as though it's been automatically translated from a foreign language.
  • It's possible to understand what it means, but it could not have been written by a native English speaker.

In my opinion it's aboslute rubbish. I doubt very much that a professional translator has ever even glanced at the text, let alone translated it.
As someone who works occasionally as a translator
