ferguson_tom Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hi Everyone, Hoping someone can help I would like to send an email to the owner of one of main suppliers in Italy, the event is to a non work related thing but is to build up a better relationship with them. I would like to send the email in Italian as although the owner has someone who can translate to english for him I think it would be appreciated i made the effort...or got someone else to. Its not a long email only about 150-200 words. If anyone can help it would be really appreciated, in exchange will chuck some money in PW charity pot rather than paying online translation service. Many Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyska Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Could you just not write the e mail with a strong Italian accent? After all the Brits are never really abroad, we just expect to be understood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 http://www.babelfish.com/ I used it for Chinese - e-mail to Hong Kong Police - a few years ago. The lad I e-mailed said my Mandarin Chinese was "very good for a foreigner". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Paulie Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Did you get someone to do this? If not i'll do it for you. Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson_tom Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Thanks for the offers everyone. I will get something written over next couple of days and be in touch. I have looked at the online things but the event is a steam and country fair and mentioning about our steam roller and think online translation things won't translate too well.
