Galicia is one of Spain's big regions; located in the North-West of the country, right above Portugal. They use Spanish as one of the official languages, as the rest of the country, but also have their own—galego—which is the one in which your sentence is written.
By the way, a couple of professors from that region are visiting, and they showed some interest on having someone checking a rather long document (about 130 pages long, latex), as they are very concerned not only about layout but also style and grammar. If you are at all interested I could refer them to you.
your grammar is better than mine, but i would not mind looking it over ... but i may need up to two weeks for 130 pages? i would be free (gratuity welcomed thru paypal)
typeform@gmail.com
however, if they are interested in professional editorial assistance, i might know one or two, but they cost $$
my contact is available ... but once again would need to see the document for a more accurate quote ... plz keep me posted whether interested or not ... ty
Sorry I didn't get back to you before. I told them about you, and they told me they'll think about it. They promised an email, but I'm still waiting.
Anyway, I will leave town on Monday for a week-plus, so contact will be either null or very sparse those days. I hope I can get back to you with more news of these guys before my trip.
