Any members in Germany? Or speak German?

I am trying to make a donation to a museum in Germany, the shipment is in Germany and…. I don’t know much else because US -UPS is not making any sense and when I tried to call the museum, they don’t speak any English and I don’t speak any German. If anyone is able to help please PM me

Would a speech translation APP on your 'phone help?

.....or compose your questions on Google translate?

Wouldn’t that be English to German Steve?

Have you tried Google Translate? I have found it to be very helpful in translating Italian to English and vice versa when communicating with my second cousins in Italy.

On your browser, go to translate.google.com - and then in the left-hand box choose which language you want to translate from, and in the right-hand box choose which language you want to translate to.

First, I typed in English and had Google Translate put it into German. Then I did a copy/paste of the German and had Google Translate change it into English. Slightly different, but, essentially the same.

Thank you to the people that so very kindly responded, and to Markus (Bondtous) for calling the museum. I have a contact and emailed them, hope the Google translate gets the problem solved.
