Help with translating to French
I'm in the hunt for an engine to my motorcycle. Found an add but the seller is from Quebec and can't speak Eanglish and my French is just as bad.
I've called him but all that we were able to "discuss" was that I'm looking for an engine and that is about it.
Is there anyone that could maybe help me translate an email (got his email address) so I can get some basic info about it?

you should have recorded the original conversation. Would have been a hoot for us all bilingual or not.
"oui, je... err, ummmmmmmm, I'm... ENGINE FOR MOTORCYCLE oui oui baguette?"
Reminds me of when I called a guy in Germany about a 3.6 Varioram... I speak about 14 words of German, and he spoke about 200 words of English. I laughed when I put down the phone... in that we didn't get much "info" across...
Best of luck!

Yup, I've actually used that site to double check that my translated text wasn't some flamboyant offer for some man love!
