Hi! I need help with the translation of some sentences :( Thanks!! :)

1. They wanted to correct mistakes on signs on in public places.
(Ellos buscaban corregir errores en señales de lugares públicos.)

2. All of his friends had been accomplishing great things, and he thought wondered how he could make a difference and then he remembered the countless typos he had been seen.
(Todos sus amigos habían estado logrando grandes cosas, y él pensó como podría marcar la diferencia y entonces recordó los incontables errores tipográficos que había visto.)

3. When they will be able to make their corrections and photograph the changes, thus fulfilling their goals(see note).
(Cuando ellos sean capaces de hacer sus correcciones y fotografiar los cambios, cumpliendo así su objetivo.)

4. They want to inspire his the love of the English language in the reader.
(Ellos quieren inspirar su amor por el Inglés en los lectores.)

5. The typos give a bad impression image to the costumers.
(Las erratas dan mala imagen a los clientes)

This sentence is a bit awkward, especially the last clause.  Perhaps: When they are able to make corrections and photograph the changes, they will fulfill their goals.

Changing the 'thus' to 'they will' makes it a bit clearer that you are explaining what will happen 'when they are able.'  Using 'thus' just adds a bit of clarification to the first part of the sentence, but the reader is left wondering what will happen after they make their corrections and fulfill their goals.  However, your version is a correct translation of the Spanish sentence you wrote.
