Can you read Latvian, or you can share this with someone who can? If so, perhaps you can help me. I have 68 archive documents from the Latvian National History Museum, describing traditional farmhouse brewing, dated 1925-1943. But I can’t read them and need the text translated.

I know this might sound stupid and obvious, but have you tried ChatGPT? I've used it to successfully translate various documents and other written materials from a number of obscure languages, and before that tested it on a couple I know just to be sure. It does a really decent job!

The dots on the map show where the documents are from. If you can help, please contact me (for example via email to larsga@garshol.priv.no) and I will send you a document to translate. They’re mostly short (1-2 pages), the longest is 7 pages.

Hey! I'm Latvian. Happy to help.

I'm assuming this isn't a paid gig? I'm a professional translator and I'm sure I probably know someone who works from Latvian. But with the state of the industry as it is, I wouldn't ask anyone if there's no money involved.

I passed this on to a Latvian friend. Either she or her parents may be able to help.
