Hi Carmina, <BR>
<BR>
As a professional translator (from German/Spanish/English into French), <BR>
I would suggest to search for Haitian Kréyol translators in professional <BR>
databases like http://www.translatorscafe.com (55 matches) or <BR>
http://www.proz.com (119 matches). <BR>
<BR>
http://www.translatorscafe.com/tcutils/FR/search/default.aspx?op=search&ls=42&lg=180&ll=0&lop=any&cn=0&city=&rg=&rgab=&rad=50&lat=&long=&cg=0&kw=&vlop=any&vog=A&vok=&ru=0&order=3 <BR>

Kind regards, <BR>
<BR>
Samy <BR>
