Now as I speak to this girl daily I was a bit mystified by the reply.
Turns out the people who do the translations often add in a request for money and then pressure the girl into giving them a percentage.
So be aware of this, though if she doesn't speak english your relationship may turn out to just be with the translator wo/man ......

Good luck!
