What is the best way of getting a 1 minute voicemail translated?

January 27, 2016 1:59 PM

Recently I got a peculiar voicemail that was entirely in Spanish or Italian, about a minute long. The woman sounds very serious, and I'm intensely curious about what it says. Once I've converted it to MP3, what's the best way of getting it translated?

Post a link to the MP3 here in a new Ask next week. Loads of us speak Spanish or Italian.

Probably easier is to play the voicemail on speaker in front of your computer microphone and have google translate it.

Or just post the MP3 in a comment here, no?

/r/translator is what you need.

I've used www.gengo.com for similar.

Maybe don't post it to a public forum on the internet unless you know enough Spanish/Italian to feel sure she isn't sharing private information?
