Hi

I have a letter from a Chinese friend that is hand written and I need translated into English,  it's a single A4 with quite big writing.

Does anybody know of a somewhere that is not too expensive that will translate from a JPEG photo?

Thanks.

I'm in christchurch but I can send a jpeg file so it's not a requirement.

Safe to assume it's in Mandarin?

Not relevant since the written language is the same no matter how it's pronounced. More relevant is if it's written in complex forms (HK) or simplified forms (mainland China).

OT: Chinese speaks Mandarin, and written language can either be Traditional Mandarin or Simplified Mandarin, and eat Chinese food with china. *hehe*

Why did your friend send you a letter in a language you don't understand?
