Anyone fluent in French

[funkyboogalooo]

I wonder if anyone here is fluent in French and could do some translation for me? I need to get a letter to a builder in France and the person who used to do my translation is no longer around. Will gladly pay. I would pay a company but unfortunately they have very large minimum orders and i dont have that much to do.
Cheers
Mike

Not fluent, but if you don't find anyone else, you're pressed for time and you're happy enough to just get your point across, I can help.

How much text is it, Mike? I might be able to help. Or I might know someone else who can.

ETA: Oh, you want it translated from English to French? Not me then, I only translate into English. But I know a girl who might be able to do it for a small fee.

ETA im going to draft it up in the morning as i need to look at some invoices first. Basically the builder owes me 500 euros and I need to put something in writing.

I work with many french people and could probably get it done gratis, though I am on night shift at the moment so would probably be a couple of days.

[funkyboogalooo]

That would be great, no mad rush really.

If you keep it simple Google translate is quite accurate

Noooo!!! Not if you want to retain any credibility. None of the online translator package thingies are any good. At best, people will laugh at you...

DO NOT use them unless you know how to say what you want to say but unsure about the correct tense!!

That should do it.
Be sure to include a small white flag

Send it to me, I'll do it, or at least get my admin guy to do it.

WTF has this got to do with Holidays & Travel?

Not really Marcellus, I'd tried to be useful 24 hours beforehand, but I hadn't noticed that it was in H&T at the time and when I did I assumed that it had been moved here...
