close...but no cigar Smile

the translation you got codescript left one word in french because i mispelt it and used a word from one sentence in another sentence (it did that twice!)...really makes me wonder how the translator did that...

what i wrote is: hi herve...i am a frenchman living in australia but my french is not good enough to help you with vds...but marty can

you can now judge for yourself on the translation Smile

Yeah, on-line translators are OK for just getting the main meaning of something. But if it's no simple
sentence you'll usually end up with a lot of babble. A good way of getting a nice laugh is feeding such a
translator with a sentence with a couple of ambigous words etc., or passing a sentence back and
forth a couple of times - English -> French -> English...

I don't use Babelfish; I use this translator:

http://www.worldlingo.com/products_services/worldlingo_translator.html

It's the best translator I've ever come across and it also does languages
that most translators don't do (for example Dutch!) Smile
