Need help with a simple translation

abj · #1 June 11, 2009, 07:21 AM

I tried to translate this sentence using one of the automated translators, but I just want to check to see if it was translated properly.

Original Text:
It's a good job, but it doesn't match my skill set.
Please be patient.

Translated Text:
Es un buen trabajo, pero no coinciden con mis habilidades.
Por favor, sea paciente.

Thanks!

I would use corresponden instead of coinciden. I guess it is a matter of preference.

Es un buen trabajo, pero no ~~coinciden~~ con mis habilidades.

"Coincide" or "corresponde". Both are acceptable, but the subject is "el trabajo": third person, singular.

You have done great job with this translation in Spanish only that I have other idea of your last sentence written in the text.

Pero no coinciden con mis conocimientos.

I don't know if you are agree with this idea about it.
