Anybody speak French?

Astrogeek 19 Jan 2011 18:36

I have someone emailing me through the website with very broken English, and an email address with 'yahoo.be' (Belgium). It appears that her native language is French. Do I have a volunteer who would like to converse with her?

Can she speak Dutch (Flemmish).
I understand French but I cannot speak it.

If she can read Flemmish, then pass on the email through pm, but not for today, I am still ill from the flue last week.

Why don't you use Google Translate?
I know it is not very efficient, but you get a nice translation.

I can speak a bit of French, but I might be tempted to run a reply from English to French through an online translator, then check it for the sort of howlers that seem to crop up when using this method to translate into English. I'm not sure I would necessarily spot every howler in French, however.
