I think these sort under the "too broad" category and should be closed. Questions should ideally have some lasting value to future readers, meaning that they must be rather specific. 

It is fine to ask about the meaning/usage/etymology of _specific_ words or sentences, or to ask grammar questions. But not to ask for a whole translation or use the site to post job requests. "Do all the work for me" questions are generally frowned upon across the network.

I don't think proof reading whole texts should be on-topic either.
