Need some help with French

Post by Buddyw »

Any one speak and read French?? (OK.. No French Jokes!)

I have a Customer from France that I'm trying to sort out a problem with the French postal system.. (Which apparently sucks worst than ours does!)

Anyways, I could use someone that can read and speak french for me to try and relay a message to the French postal service to get off their ass and delever the houndsmen his shit!

I'll owe you..

Not sure if you have thought about this but you can download an app for your phone that translates text from French to English and English to French. I use to have one when I had the iPhone and it worked pretty good and you can choose all kinds of languages

I had a dog I named Sioux Oui once, I still smile at how made my ex used to get when she would call that dog.
There are professional translators that are available,
but surely one of these guys near Quebec can help.
Oiler coach Bum Phillips when asked why he takes his wife on all the road trips.
Phillips: “Because she is too damn ugly to kiss good-bye.”
Not sure if it's true, just funnier than hell. A been there done that moment.

Send that damn dog over...

I was able to install of bing translator that would translate the website..(half assed) But I was able to blindly feel my way through to get to the point that their website wouldn't allow me to continue!!

I've asked the customer to try and submit my Statement for me. I think we are working through it or at least Blindly stumbling through it.

Hell.. That's nothing new to me just another day in the park, I'm used to not knowing what the hell I'm doing....

Jgagne, if that line had worked on women in my twenties I'd probably remember would still know enough French to help Buddy now. Now I aspire to be a Coureur des Bois..... Paul
