Hi Wayne,
I was exactly the same and I had no problem at all with the Alphaklinik they did a straight translation for me at no expense.
On the Internet there are some small " free translation services" where you just put the words into a box and click which language you want it translated into.
I would go back to the admin staff at the Alphaklinik, I'm sure that our last UK member who was across their three weeks ago had hers translated into English -- -- -- I'm not sure about being translated into American though -- - - - -lol
best,
Alastair
