There are translation programs available, but they are not always perfect. Use one of them to translate into English, then get an English speaker to proofread and correct the story.

Deasfortunadamente, hablo solo un poco de español. Pero puedes usar una herramienta de traducción, como Google Translate o un diccionario en línea para ser más exactos. ¡Buena suerte!
(Hope that wasn't too shabby!)

The UK (England, precisely). Yeah, the main problem with Google Translate is the grammar and some vocabulary which it mixes up.

We have two kinds of English - British English, and American English. And, as Winston Churchill once observed, "The United States and Great Britain are two nations separated by a common language."

Well if you still need help I know English and Spanish. First language is spanish and I think my english is pretty decent.
Hablo Español e Inglés, si es que todavía necesitas ayuda. Mi lenguaje nativo es Español pero mi Inglés es decente.

Cool! I didn't know that 'y' which means 'and' in general is changed to 'e' before 'i' or 'hi'. I'm taking Spanish at the moment. Just remember for proper nouns to capitalise in English.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Not exclusively two types. They are the most commonly spoken but you can get Australian or Canadian English. The grammar rules are almost identical in all variations though. That's GT's main issue.

True enough, but at the time Churchill made the statement, Canada and Australia were more closely connected to Great Britain. In eastern Canada, their English closely resembles British English, but go west, to Alberta and British Columbia, and north, into the Yukon, and it's closer to American English.
Australian English has its quirks and idiosyncrasies, but to the untrained ear, it is almost indistinguishable from British English. In written form, it's identical. They both add a "u" to "flavor" and "color,"

Actually Drawscore, the US is out of step with the rest of the English speaking world. The way we don't spell colour and flavour and pronounce skedule, not shedule goes back to Noah Webster and the first American dictionary which he edited. It was right after the War of 1812 and feelings were still hard so he changed the spelling and pronunciation to separate the US from Merrie Olde England. And that's the X-Y-Zed of that.
Also language does evolve, if it didn't we'd still be talking like Chaucer.

¿Por qué no consigues su ayuda? ¿No puedes usar Google Translate o un diccionario en línea para ayudar? ¿Por cuánto tiempo es su historia, por cierto?

Afortunadamente ya estoy platicando con Aiden con respecto a ello, y le agradezco mucho su ayuda.
Había intentado traducir, pero mi inglés no es tan bueno. Además de que en las últimas semanas, entre la escuela y el trabajo, no me queda mucho tiempo libre.
Por cierto, mi historia es de 20 capítulos.
