gimme Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Hello. I've had some recent issues with my dealer. He has limited knowledge of the English language, and as a result there has been some serious miscommunication. I plan on writing him an email about 2-3 paragraphs in length, and I want to make sure he fully understands what I'm saying. Is there someone who could help me translate my email to Chinese? It won't take more than 10 minutes and I will pay via paypal for his efforts. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimme Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 It's probably no use using that piece of $hit program. I really want to make sure my message gets across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Sometimes when I really need to make a clear point to my sales rep I start talking to her in Chinese by simply having another window open with Babel Fish. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subbiesrock Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Translate.google.com Babelfish is rubbish, and Google Translate has come leaps and bounds from a few years ago. I speak two languages natively and this program switches between them very well, maintaining sentence structure, correct verb conjugation and placement in the sentence etc. I'm assuming your dealer is in mainland China, just write in English and translate to a Simplified Chinese character set. HK still uses the full character set. Modt of pur dealers come from places where the character set is standardised into the simplified version. Google's Translate even speaks out the translation, hilarious in a room of multi-linguals to hurl abuse across the room through computer speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parryl Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 almost all the dealers can speak proper English . either the problem is in you or the dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimme Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 almost all the dealers can speak proper English . either the problem is in you or the dealer Everything you just said is 100% accurate. First sentence could've been substituted with "Some dealers' English is horrible" and it doesn't contradict your sentence. Regarding the second sentence, take a wild guess who's problem is it. If I read both sentences together: (a) almost all dealers speak proper ENglish + ( either the problem is you or the dealer, then I'd have to assume you're insinuating the problem is me. stfu if you don't have anything useful to say.

cib0rgman Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 try this one is pretty good the only problem is that you will not be able to see how close is the translation because it will be in Chinese. http://tradukka.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
