Actually, that's pretty darned close. What I said was:
We are fine. Thank you very much for your concern.
If you read between the lines, you picked up on it.
I guess I should have chosen a different word for fine
though as distinguished could mean the same thing. My
computer also translated it to mean Aristocratical.
I about died laughing after I read that.

Ziroc, thanks for the url

Tobbin, The keyboards that let you choose layouts are great, aren't they? Is the sun shining in FL? Send it up here, please!

Ok, I tell you what I'll do, you send me snow, and as soon as it gets here, I'll send you some sunshine. Deal? Sounds fair to me.

Oh hey, I went ahead and plugged it into the same program that Ziroc found and it came out a little different. Actually seems to translate better. Check it.

Wir sind fein. Vielen Dank für Ihr Interesse.

Not quite what I had in mind, but not bad. (Quick, where is this quote from? - LOL)

Oh hey, CB, you didn't say if it translated ok or not there. Figured since you knew so much German, you might give us some pointers. That's why I was wanting to get a thread started.

CB you should be carefull when buting /selling bridges. In 1970 a group of Americans bought London Bridge thinking that they were buying Tower Bridge (the one that opens in the middle). Imagine their suprise when they took it back to Lake Havasu City in Arizona and unwrapped it.

Want to apply your language translators to a bit of French poetry ?

Try this one :
"Les sanglots longs des violons de l'automne
Bercent mon coeur d'une langueur monotone"

Tobbin · 03-04-2001, 08:37 AM

Hmmmmm. This is what Ziroc's website came up with:

The long sobs of the violins of the autumn Delude my heart with a languor monotonous

So what do I win? LOL.
No, really what is it supposed to say?
Love your sig, btw.

Get over here ->
