Or, I could get a hold of him right now and have him beg me for a distraction from work. *chuckles* I'll post the translation when he makes it... or maybe he'll post it himself.
Here it is -- a quick and dirty translation (i.e. not literary quality, but true to the message):
Hello,
I don't know, maybe I am writing needlessly, but I stumbled upon something.
You used to create, or are still creating, graphics/wallpapers [? banners? background images? sorry, I dunno what the right name for this is in English] at slytherin.pl, right? Looking at your wallpapers I came across this one: [URL omit], and right away it reminded me of a certain internet template which I saw on one of the mylog services offering/devoted to rating/evaluating blogs.
In any case, this: [URL for the rating poll] is now closed, and you can only get to it via the archive. It's evident that the graphics are the same, slightly re-coloured, but identical. I don't know if this edit/revamp and use of your graphics was already brought to your attention, but I'd like to make sure -- besides, the signature suggests the authorship of another [i.e. doesn't credit you]. If I am wrong, and Mi did get your permission, I apologize in advance. But I am
( ... )
Oh, thank you so much for this! So basically, I did get the correct idea of the text - but it's good to know for sure. As for translating the reply: I've already written to her in English and got an answer; her English isn't very good but she's udnerstood my questions and sent me the blog owner's email. I hope the owner will cooperate...
Very nice of her to take the time to bring it to your attention!
And it's incredibly nice of you to take your time and offer to help me :) I greatly appreciate it. Thank you again! :)
I CAN, however, recommend you post this on linguaphiles where there is doubtless someone who knows Polish and can translate for you there.
