Hello there! I am an American and I am trying to translate a video for my wife as a Christmas present. She is a weaver and she absolutely adores the work of Hannah Ryggen. She found this video on Youtube that is a short documentary about Hannah’s life, but it’s solely in Swedish with no subtitles or translation. I uploaded a copy of the video to my own Youtube account and I have been trying to play the sound, bit by bit, into Google Translate to get the best approximation of a translation that I can get. However, it’s painstaking and I’m not sure how close I am getting. I am wondering if anyone who speaks both Swedish and English could take a look at the couple of minutes that I’ve done so far and tell me if I’m close. Also, I would absolutely be willing to pay someone for their help doing a better job of translating this into English for me. I thought this community might at least be a good place to start. [Here is the link to the Youtube video that I’m working on.](https://youtu.be/fgK8s5-hs1c) You should be able to turn on CC and choose English. Just FYI that it is restricted by Youtube and unavailable to view from within Sweden. But hopefully someone living outside of Sweden might be able to view it. Thanks for any help!
