French Email

[Caran]

I have received an email giving directions to our holiday destination in France next month.
Unfortunately it is in French.
How can I get an email to google translate?
I know it's late but we do have some night owls on here!
Thanks.

[Jackdaw33]

Copy and paste it on this thread and I will do my best to help.

Thank you Jackdaw, that's so kind of you, I try and do that.

This is what my translation app came up with. It's not perfect English, but hopefully you get the just of it.

Jackdaw it's still in French!!

[Jackdaw33]

Actually that's not bad for an on-line translator. Cartes here means maps. If you want further clarification let me know. The last bit says thank you very much for replying etc.

[Caran]

Thank you Cloverjo.

It looks idyllic Caran but I would ask for the post to be taken down now, as I'm a bit paranoid about info getting into the wrong hands .... you can't be too careful these days. Have a super holiday xx

Barby at Caran's! :-)

[Retrochic]

Caran -do you want a proper translation from someone who actually has French as their first language?

[Retrochic]

You can find us on various regional and local maps.
IF not, on leaving Paris take the A10/11 ,just after the Toll Gate to St Arnoult,take the (A11) Chartres. Go past the Chartres turn off and leave the A11 at exit 4 (Luigny) direction Brou
Go straight on through Brou and at the first traffic lights turn right then straight on past the Leisure centre, and riding stables, continue for about 1 km then take the road on the right ( metal pole just in front)

Continue straight on this road on this paved road (tarmac) and you will arrive in the centre of the Gite.

Did you use a French to French translator, Jackdaw?

Surely you knew that post was of no help?

[Retrochic]

Talbot -of course he did -and he was trying to correct my French the other day and its my langue maternelle!

[retrocop]

Le chocolat théière springs to mind :-)

[Retrochic]

Tout à fait vrai mon ami

[Caran]

That's great Retrochic thank you.

[Jackdaw33]

I most certainly did not. I copied the text and was about to provide a translation when I pressed the wrong key and it submitted. Although French is not my first language I pride myself on the fact that it is a very good second. As to retrochic's rude comment, may I point out that French and Canadian French are not quite the same thing.

[Caran]

Thank you for your effort Jackdaw, the thought was much appreciated.

The michelin route planner is very good in these situations - as you are probably aware the French have a number system like out postcode so that will get you very close to where you are heading. It provides, once you`ve entered your typical mpg a very good estimate for tolls and petrol cost. Take a good selection of small Euro notes to save messing about with card. DFDS is my preferred ferry company through Dunkerque
