Thank you for asking this question. I would also like to see the trailer.
BTW: How did you manage to get both native languages (Spanish and German) verified, Alexandra?

Native language verification bugJul 31, 2012

Hello Marina,

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Note that two native languages cannot be verified on ProZ.com profiles. Some profiles show two verified native languages, due to a bug. Please report any such profile to site staff. I have already corrected Alexandra's profile now. Please let me know if you need anything else.

Best regards,
Alejandro
