Google translator does not really help me translating these exercises. May you help me out?

If this is not the site I should I ask for translation of physics texts, may you tell me where should I ask for that?

For the Dutch part I would search for a translator via google, the search key being 'English <> Dutch' or 'Nederlands <> English'.
I usually use Wikipedia for specific physical terms, i.e. choose the language I know, call the Wikipedia page and then look for the target language by switching to it.

We generally do not translate, at least not to this extend. The forum language is English. This doesn't mean that we completely ignore other languages, e.g. to compare terms in different languages, translate single words or just speak about them. To translate entire passages, however, is a different task.

Thread closed.
