  Hello Softpick,
  Are the examples given typical of the length of the 1000 descriptions? As you might have gathered from the examples given there is more than proofreading to be done. This is a partial re-writing exercise.
  
  Depending on how quick you need this job done I might be interested to do it for you. I am a quick typer and I am used to on-the-fly translations when working internationally and when reading Dutch books to my kids in English.
  
  I am a native Dutch speaker from Noord Holland and live in England.
  
  Depending on where you are planning to market the text it is important to look at regional influences in the translations of any examples you are given. I have spotted a few already. If this is meant to be used in the Netherlands the text should be written in ABN (Algemeen Beschaafd Nederlands). This is the equivalent of "BBC English".
  
  Hope you find the right provider.

  nanexo, are you trying to make me look bad or something? I did not copy anything from you.

  The post made by "ClintRutjes" is a mere copy of my translated version, however i am confident that you have seen this unoriginality.
  
  "
  I edited some sentences so they are correct and kept the original names (Sketch Studio, Sketch and Smudge) since I don't think they should be translated."
  
  As have i done in my clarification of my abilities,
  I hope you value originality and proven ability, As is not only so with the given example but also with the gesture of "giving" the example itself is an originality (which user ClintRutjes was so eager to copy).
  
  I hope to soon serve you in the best of my ability.
  
  
  kind regards,
  
  Nanexo

  After reading nanexo's post I believed that I could do better and here it is:
  
  Sketch Studio is een makkelijk te gebruiken tekenprogramma voor kinderen. Hoewel er een aantal tekenprogramma's beschikbaar zijn voor kinderen, is Sketch Studio in zoverre uniek dat het ingebouwde tekenlessen bevat. De lessen kenmerken twee geanimeerde karakters Sketch and Smudge. De karakters werken al schetsend en bevlekkend samen om beelden in stappen te tekenen. Aan het eind van elke stap wachten de twee karakters om de gebruiker kans te geven om zelf te tekenen wat is voorgedaan alvorens door te gaan naar de volgende stap. De lessen gaan van beginner tot geavanceerd. De eenvoudigste les bestaat uit het inkleuren van een kleurplaat van een boomkikker.
