Anyone Speak German?

[rockyracoon]

Can you translate the following for me? It doesn't have to be word for word, just the general gist.

Nachricht vom Restaurant
Liebe Gäste, bitte haben Sie Verständnis, dass Raumwünsche erst am Vortag der Reservierung gelesen werden und nicht immer berücksichtigt werden können.

Gerne versuchen wir eventuelle Tischwünsche zu realisieren, behalten uns aber Umplatzierungen vor. Falls sich die Personenzahl ändern sollte, teilen Sie uns dies bitte kurzfristig mit.

Sollten Sie weitere Details besprechen wollen, so stehen wir gerne telefonisch zur Verfügung oder schreiben Sie an: [email protected]

Wir freuen uns auf Ihren Besuch und wünschen Ihnen einen schönen Aufenthalt im Gilden im Zims.

I tried google translate but it didn't make much sense.

Danke :)

Hmm, my google translate says this (which kind of makes sense):

However, I have a German friend that i can pass it by

[rockyracoon]

It makes no sense to me.

[rockyracoon]

Sorry. Thanks for answering :)

I think it;s basically saying that you need to book beforehand and if there are any changes to numbers, to let them know as soon as possible

The old German word for tank was schutzengrabenvernichtungsautomobile. I think the same bloke wrote the menu.

[AlwaysConfused]

That's how i see it Tilly. I've just copied and pasted it to a friend from Germany who can hardly decipher it herself. It seems it has been written from someone whom is not German, or very badly educated!

Thank you Mr Kershaw. Wolstanton Grammar. German Language Teacher.

That's what I'm not understanding. I booked a restaurant through Open Table and that's the response. I don't know if the booking is confirmed or not.

[retrocop]

That would explain it then. Chancellor Merkel has just invited thousands of non-Germans into her country. Still. Better attempt than I could muster. :-)

Translation from a real life (yes, Real Life!) German:

They can only read reservations (I guess online bookings) on the day before. They can always consider them though.
They try to get you your desired table but might have to change them at short notice. Please let them know if the amount of people in your group is likely to change.
If you like to discuss further details then contact them over the phone or write to the email address.

They are looking forward to your visit and hope you enjoy your stay.

[rockyracoon]

Blimey, so not confirmed then. What possible point is there to them making themselves available on Open Table. Think I'll look for somewhere else.

Thanks all

So it's, if we don't like the look of you we're full.
