Dear bowleyjoo,

Many applicants have this dilemma, but you want to have the best recommenders possible. So if that means you need to arrange for a translator, then that is what you should do. You should not be involved in either the writing of the letter or the translation, but you can find someone to do the translations. Perhaps a trusted colleague or friend can translate the letters for your recommenders? If not, then there are companies out there who will do the translation for a fee.

Good luck,
Lisa
