I need your help.

"誰かいないのか"

As far as I understand it, this translates to something like, "I want to know, if there somebody, who is available now"

The questions are:

Is the translation ok?
Could you explain the grammar of this sentence? I was trying to find out about "inai no ka" but didn't manage to do it :(
I really count on you guys!

Thank you!

In my opinion “Is anyone here / there?” would be better.

You can make question form by adding “か “ or “のか” at the end of words.

but it is not polite.

だれかいるか？
だれかいるのか？
だれかいないのか？
だれかいないか？
These 4 are almost all same.

@knyocki yes, but when should I use "no ka"? What does it mean? What's the difference between two of them ("ka" & "no ka")?

It's similar to negative questions in English.

誰かいないのか literally means "Aren't there anyone (who can help me)?"
The simple question should be:
誰かいるか？ (Are there anyone who can help me?).
But いないのか shows the person's feeling like "I badly need some help. Can't any of you help me?"

Hope it helps a bit to understand.

いないのか
=いる(動詞)+ない(否定)+ -のか(疑問文を作る終助詞)
→いない+のか

Your translation is O.K.
You can use this sentence when you are alone or in that situation you said.

Basically “か” is most commonly used.
“noka” is used when I talk to myself. (Одно слово?)
