This is a small ad we want to put in our shop window. A lady in our local Polish shop helpfully translated it today for me (yes, we were shopping there too BTW, not just seeking freebies) but she did it by hand, and I was uncertain that I got it all correct. I "checked" it [sic] on Google translate and I am thinking she misinterpreted the "cash paid" and "apply within" parts of it at the end. Also, the first two words do not seem to directly translate so maybe I typed them wrong.

Here is the English original:

Worker wanted. Approximately 2 days a week to dismantle old vacuum cleaners, clean and check condition of the parts and general duties. He should be practically inclined and trustworthy. Basic English language preferred, but not essential. Cash paid. Apply within.

Here is my typed interpretation of what she translated or me:

Potizelony pracownsk!
Praca 2 dni w tygodniu, do demontażu starych odkurzaczy. Czyszczenie oraz sprawdzanie stanu częśa, obowiązki generalne. Pracownik praktyczne oraz godny zaufania. Wymagany podstawowy angielski, płatność gotówkp na cząs.

I am sure I got it mostly correct? But I wonder if one of you would mind just checking and correcting it for me?

Dysonz:

Some words are incorrect or with typos.

Poszukiwany pracownik!
Około 2 dni w tygodniu przy demontażu starych odkurzaczy, czyszczeniu oraz sprawdzaniu stanu części oraz ogólnych obowiązkach z tym związanych. Pracownik powinien być skłonny do pracy manualnej oraz godny zaufania. Preferowana choć nie wymagana jest podstawowa znajomość języka angielskiego. Zapłata w gotówce.

Now - what exactly is supposed to be after Apply within? Because its translation depends on the structure of the whole sentence.

Apply within - Informacja na miesjcu.

Thank you for your reply. "Apply within" is a sentence in and of itself. It means "come inside and ask" if that helps you at all?

Dysonz: "Apply within" is a sentence in and of itself. It means "come inside and ask" if that helps you at all? Alright my bad: Polonius3: Informacja na miesjcu. Polonius3 is right with one typo: "Informacja na miejscu" Just add that at the end of my translation.

Thank you very much indeed! That's a big help! I am still poking around other parts of the forum - this is truly an eye-opening place.
