How do I request translation?

Due to the need for short e-mails by the clubs and societies to be translated as soon as possible, we have set up a new system:

• For short e-mails (less than 500 words) the clubs and societies should now send the e-mail to be translated to union.translation@aber.ac.uk.
• Student staff will work every morning (10 -12) and afternoon (1-3) to translate these short e-mails, and, depending on amount of e-mails received, the work should be returned within a few hours (but expect 24 hours in case of problems, especially at the beginning).
• Work that is longer than 500 words, websites etc as well as official stuff (letters to outside bodies etc) should be sent to the translator, Rhodri Owain (union.translator@aber.ac.uk), who requires at least 48 hours notice (longer for bigger pieces of work). Staff and sabbs should continue to send everything to this address.
