My girlfriend - known in Russian writer Alexander von Lorenz. She writes romantic novels for women. In Russia there are published four of her novel. She has written over 10 novels. Now her novels translated into Italian and German. English translators are also offered their services. But Alexander has no friends, who spoke in English as native.
Could you assess the quality of translations, which sent her?
I think Englishman can be seen on the front pages of text that a translator is good or bad
Thank you all.
Sorry for my English
Please rate the quality of translation.

But being smitten by Radmila’s beauty and burning with passion he kneels down for her to marry him.

Gender-bender pen names are not unheard of; George Eliot was the pen name of Mary Ann Evans. Or the person's Cyrillic-to-Latin alphabet transference is shaky enough to lose the "ia" at the end of the feminine Alexandria.

Just in case LauraFenix isn't a bot, that translation isn't great.

In which case the "Au!" is a very nice touch.

I will write a plea for something stupid.
Then randomly post on internet forums: half with a hot female avatar, half with a generated abstract pic.
Then I'll compare the differences in the amounts of response.Anyway, the answers that our friend here gave on other forums are utterly disconnected non-sequitur at best.
