More help needed
on: September 17, 2009, 22:11:45 PM
It is harder than one would think to translate, I havnt really done it before cause when I express myself I am thinking in english (from living in the US 10 years) so I do not translate I just speak. Translating a piece of text that someone else authored is somethin else though.

This direct translation sounds stupid and has no flow to it. Please help me.

Valö — festplats i Kinda
På Valö festplats har det arrangerats dans och fester sedan 1956. Den vackert belägna ön ligger ett stenkast från det lilla samhället Björkfors — Kindabygdens pärla.
På Valö finns två scener, badbryggor, servering och rikligt med martallar, buskar och bergshålor att krypa in i för den som vill spela i smyg. Ön är handikappanpassad. Man tar sig till ön via en liten bro.
Förra året arrangerades en spelmansstämma på Valö. I år bygger vi ut så den gröna ön får uppleva en hejdundrande folkmusikfest. Valö Folk arrangeras av ideella nätverket Valö Folk i samarbete med Leader Sommenbygd.


Valö --- a place of festivity in Kinda

At Valö dances and festivities has been arranged since 1956. The beautifully situated island is just
a stones throw from the small village of Björkfors --- the pearl of Kinda.
At Valö there is two stages, swimming bridges, catering and plenty of dwarfed pines, brushes and
crevices to crawl into for those who want to play on the sly. The island is accessible for disabled.
One reaches the island by way of a small bridge.
Last year a folmusicans rally was arranged. This year  we will expand so the green island will experince a whopping folk music festival. Valö Folk is arranged by the non-profit network ”Valö Folk” in collaboration with ”Leader Sommenbygd”.

Valö --- A festival site in Kinda

Dances and festivals have been held at Valo since 1956. The beautifully situated island is just a stones throw away from the small village of Björkfors --- the pearl of Kinda. There are two stages at Valö, swimming bridges, and catering services. There are also plenty of dwarfed pines, brushes and crevices to crawl into for those who want to play on the sly. The island is accessible for people with disabilities. Access to the island is via a small bridge. A folmusic rally was held last year, and this year we hope to expand so that the green island will experience the greatest folk music festival yet. Valö Folk is arranged by the non-profit network ”Valö Folk”, in collaboration with ”Leader Sommenbygd”.

The above isnt exactly a direct edit of what you put up, I took a few liberties so that it reads better, at least to me. Im sure my grammer and choice of words will be questioned shortly :D

That helps a lot !!! Thanx Zpyder. Really, that is what I was thinking I need to take some liberties to make the translation have a flow to them but I begin with a crude "direct" translation and then Ill try to get a flow to them.
