English to French Translation help!

tlhoy

Could someone help me translate this into French please.


"I have received your payment but the envelope was wet, like it was underwater for a long time and the ink ran on your address so I cannot read it!
Could you please email me your address so I can mail your coins to you. I have given you positive feedback but I can't mail the coins without your address.
Sorry for this delay."

Veuillez pouvoir vous email je votre adresse ainsi je peux expédier vos pièces de monnaie à vous. Je vous ai donné la rétroaction positive mais je ne peux pas expédier les pièces de monnaie sans votre adresse. Désolé pour ceci retarde."

Crazy Post Office delivered it in a plastic bag with no explanation! The cash was ok. Just needs to dry out.
Thanks Cosmicdebris

Beware that was a Babelfish translation.

JohnZ

Yeah, Glenn. Don't trust babelfish. Wait until a native speaker can do it for you.

You should see what some online translators do to the Polish language!

I had one arrive at the beginning of January with Cash in it,,, It was mailed on 1 Dec from Germany and it got here wet with tire tracks and snow splatter on the envelope. No snow here in Florida, so the post office found it somewhere else

Here is a place to do your translations Translation link

"J'ai reçu votre paiement mais l'enveloppe etait humide.Comme il était mouille pendant longtemps , l'encre a couvert votre adresse et je ne peux pas la lire ! Veuillez me la renvoyer par e-mail,pour que je puisse expedier les pièces que vous avez gagne. Je vous ai laisse du feedback positif, mais je ne peux pas expédier les monnaies sans votre adresse. Désolé pour ce retard. Amicalement...."





accent on mouillE gagnE and laissE

tlhoy

Ok I just found a free online translator & put what the babelfish said in it to turn it back to English. This is what it said.


"I received your payment but the envelope fact humid, as it was under navy during a long time and ink worked on your address thus I not the can read! Want be able you email I your address thus I can dispatch your change pieces to you. I gave you the positive rétroaction but I cannot dispatch the change pieces without your address.

I took the french that I got from worldlingo and ran it back to english and this is what I got:

I have receipt your payment but the envelope made wet, as it was underwater for a long time and ink functioned on your address thus I cannot read it!

Could you please email I your address thus me put out of box the mail your coins at you? I gave you positive feedback but I cannot dispatch the coins without your address.

Afflicted for this delays

SYRACUSIAN

Guys ,it doesn't make much sense like that. Check the free translation I've posted. He'll understand anyway.

cosmicdebris

I gogled yours Dimitri:

"I received your payment but the envelope was humide.Comme it was damping for a long time, ink covered your address and I cannot read it! Please return it to me by e-mail, so that I can expedier the parts which you have gains. I have leave positive feedback to you, but I cannot dispatch the currencies without your address. Afflicted for this delay. In a friendly way...."

My bi-lingual contact in Germany liked the Boz' site's translations better than Babelfish on a couple of examples I sent him from both.

tlhoy

OK I think I got it.

J'espère que vous pouvez lire ceci.
"J'ai reçu votre paiement mais l'enveloppe était mouillée, comme c'était sous-marin pour un temps long et l'encre a couru sur votre adresse, donc je ne peux pas lire votre adresse! S'il vous plaît m'envoie un e-mail à avec votre adresse je peux envoyer les pièces à vous. Je vous ai donné des réactions positives mais je ne peux pas envoyer les pièces sans votre adresse.
Désolé pour ce retard."

Translated to English:
I hope that you can read this. "I received your payment but the envelope was wet, as it was submarine for a long time and ink ran on your address, therefore I cannot read your address! Please sends me an e-mail to with your address I can send the pieces to you. I gave you positive reactions but I cannot send the pieces without your address. Grieved for this delay."

Looks good to me!
Glenn

Using the boz Translator
I hope that you can read this.
"I received your payment but the envelope was wet, as it was underwater for a long time and ink ran on your address, thus I cannot read your address! Please sends to me an e-mail with with your address I can send the
parts to you. I gave you positive reactions but I cannot send the parts without your
address.
Afflicted for this delay."

Glenn, that's perfectly understandable and I'd go with it.

SYRACUSIAN

It's actually worse than cosmic's initial translation. I don't know why you expect the French to English translation to confirm that your French text is right. That's not the way it works, but like I said, he'll get the message anyway.

papabeartoo

this translation thing has become kind of fun. I modified your original to try and get it to say the same thing but with fewer words. I then used one service to translate to French and another back to English to check it. This iswhat I got back in English:

I received your payment but the envelope was humid and ink worked on your address thus I not the can read! Svp the email your address thus me can dispatch change pieces to you. I gave you the positive rétroaction but I cannot dispatch the change pieces. Grieved for delays

That from this French:

J'ai reçu votre paiement mais l'enveloppe était humide et l'encre a fonctionné sur votre adresse ainsi je ne peux pas la lire ! Svp l'email votre adresse ainsi moi peut expédier des pièces de monnaie à vous. Je vous ai donné la rétroaction positive mais je ne peux pas expédier les pièces de monnaie. Désolé pour retarde

The modified message that I came up with:

I have received your payment but the envelope was wet and the ink ran on your address so I cannot read it! Please email your address so I can mail coins to you. I gave you positive feedback but I can't mail the coins. Sorry for the delay.

And your original:

I have received your payment but the envelope was wet, like it was underwater for a long time and the ink ran on your address so I cannot read it!
Could you please email me your address so I can mail your coins to you. I have given you positive feedback but I can't mail the coins without your address.
Sorry for this delay

People that can speak more than one language really impress me now. It is harder than I thought to translate one language to another. Hope all of these responses have helped.

1jester

I'm not saying it's perfect, but that it's easy to understand. Of course, my French isn't fluent anymore because it's been 20 years.

tlhoy

Ok, I put Syracusian's translation & the last one I posted in the email. I'm sure he'll understand. He probably speaks English anyway so I put that in there also.
Thanks for your help, this was fun!

One more note to this thread. Read Mark Twain's Jumping Frog of Calavaras County, and his retranslation of it into English after a French periodical had published it (in a French translation). You will pee your pants.

Laurentyvan speaks French fluently I believe. Send him a PM.
