Discovered another potential level of lad pain today my lads come from Burkino so french is the reasoon given me for "misunderstandings"that have been ocuring so ive just introduced babel fish that should make things clearer

Whats the saying "S@$T in S%&T out

Babel fish is also very useful when the lad introduces a European bank into the equation. I always think that it is only polite to write to them in their native language.

I can just imagine some lad in Lagos frantically trying to translate my German or Spanish back into English.

And mistyping some of the important words so that they won't translate back to English always helps as well.

I will try that as well I think its probably better to make it really difficult when some time has been seriously invested

I have a security trunk bait going on with a dodgy and dead filipina politician whos widow is being watched in the Fils

So I been including a bit of "fluent" Cebuano passed of as Tagalog mixed with English sentences even if I was fluent id be confused but the widow isnt helping what with it being her mother tounge and all

Last year I baited a French speaking lad, and we used Spanish as a common language. So all emails were babelfished twice (although the lad didn't know that).

Im trying to include things like "Im sure it will be plane sailing from now" and "we can jaw properly now" just for clarity

One of there translations told me there Waiter (server) had gone a bit slow not sure if I fancy a Hotel like that

meh. I can't find the thread through search because I suxorz at everything I touch today, but there was a thread active recently about a site that does multiple passes through the 'fish.

I remember thinking that this would be a fantastic de-educating tool, and then promptly forgetting to bookmark it. Yay me. Laughing

If I have the patience I'll go back and find it when I get home later and post it.

Im having some fun with babel my lads are fluent in french so iv finaly found a way of no misunderstanding

"Dear Sisters J@cky and Christi@n
I enclose the translation of Hotel Fl@rish answer to my reservation request to be honest I cant really understand them I asked for a pro forma invoice for our accounts so that I could get it paid into there account with western union bank , although they dont give the account number I have no idea what they mean about parambulators (there are certainly no youths under 1 Cool

, milk and "certain people.....even less there promise" do you think they have sent me the mail by mistake?to be honest Im a little worried at such a strange responce from a reputable Hotel they must have been asked for an invoice befor or is that a special word in french that the translator doesnt work with

Sincl@ir

On Line translation

Acknowledgement of delivery with the reception of your last station with l' hotel, it seems management of this hotel that you n' do not be ready to comply with the rules and the regulation of this institution, the reason is that you were parambulating on the question of your reservation d' hotel reservation of payment, in l' one of our preceding email of your group, have us d' now and already to indicate that all the participant recomemded in our hotel for the fourth Conference to come must make their payment before their arrival so that we can emit their confirmation of reservation and to transmit it to them and l' Organizer in America for the checking and the confirmation of their arrival.

We accept reservation d' hotel Reservation of payment before the confirmation of your reception. "

this was a straight translate on babel

Sister C agrees this could be a translation issue so i decide to keep it simple and avoid further confusion!!

"-La chère chrétienne de soeur de Henri pense que la traduction pourrait
nous poser des problèmes
Par hasards nous sommes m@lentendu que je confirmais ma réservation
pour votre pièce de /family d'apartement et te demandais d'expédier la
facture anticipée pour nos comptes ici et le nombre de votre uonion
occidental de b@nque ainsi nous pouvons vous payer"

I particularly like dear cretin the sister of henry it starts with
it was a normal babel and came from this

"Dear Henri Sister Christian thinks the translation might be causing us problems

Per haps we are misunderstanding I was confirming my reservation for your apartement /family room and asking you to forward the advance invoice for our accounts here and the number of your b@nk western uonion so we can pay you"
