Hi guys

i see that the tngc is still growing and thriving into new games and more fun.

I try to read the forums now and then but im currently out travelling a lot
to visit a lot of new clients and vendors.


Im trying to get a french client to understand some points and i am therefore going to make a try in French but my french is not very good:)


I was hoping that some of our french speaking members could give me a hend in this. It is only a short message of about 5-10 lines and i think it will be a lot easier for the client if he can read it in he's own language.


Well i will wait and hope for a respons

Well i think some of the reason i went in here was to get a human to do it since they might actually have soem ideas and thoughts about the text too.


Well if i can't find anyone willing to do it i have to call barkman and ask him if he could:)


well thx for the tip though:)

Never use Bablefish (unless you want to look like a fool) because it is probably the worst online translator available.

It's better to just use plain English and be able to express yourself properly and profesionally then working with some half-assed translation and not even knowing the language. In today's (business) world it is commonly accepted to be able to speak English, especially if you are working with an international customer base. It's therefore the clients problem if he doesnt speak it. So let them run it through a translator. :wink:

Bark is still around, give him a PM Fester mate, because you know full well he is our universal human translator.
