Candide is better translated by ingenuous or guileless.
I think it used to mean kind/benevolent until Voltaire wrote a book about a character named Candide. After that, candide refered to the character's attitude in debates. blah, blah, blah... stfu flibul!

So? can you give us some crunchy details? Are you translating a letter you just received (ouch!) or sending one (ouch!). [img]tongue.gif[/img]

(stfu <-- spent too much time on battle.net)
