Hmmm..

Frenchkid should be put on the payroll. He\'ll have to queue up behind me however:D

I posted a thread ages ago, based around this really crap translation programme I had bought. So once again...just for old time\'s sake, finn powers up his mighty translation engine and comes out with the answer:

serieu 9 is necessary to not to abuse!! one goes anything c is very dark the foto is taken of so far qu one doesn\'t absolutely see light... C is the tavail d armeé 7 c is well paid dea

See! I told you it was a crap programme:flip:

I can imagine...

The trouble is a lot of people write in slang or a contracted form of their own language on forums which does not translate well mechanically unless you have a little star like Arthur waiting in the wings;)

You mean the proper translation, as provided by Frenchkid...

Yeah, I\'d like to compare the truth with the bollox as well:D

Yes sorry if I did not make that clear enough. What you came up with was amusing, but it was as you said bollox. :D

Well i found a translator on the net but i\'m not sure how well it works.
German
Brunnen I fand einen Übersetzer auf dem Netz, aber ich bin nicht sicher, wie gut es funktioniert.
French
Le puits i a trouvé un traducteur sur le filet mais je ne suis pas sûr à quel point cela fonctionne.

Frenchkids expert translation was:

\"seriously 9, this is exesive !! I can\'t see a thing, the picture is too dark and the pic is taken from so far away that I absolutly can\'t see the highlights.... this is army work and a 7 is already a good score for it\"

:(:(:(by the way its for this pic if your really curious:http://www.coolminiornot.com/89701

The comment is somewhat \'harsh\' and I suspect that the author might not have read the description or realised that is is Inquisitor scale.

I still think that this is very competant and skilled work and while the Photo is not of a professional studio standard (I\'m not including GW in that standard) there is nothing wrong with it.

I tried to translate it using as a comparision : http://dictionary.reference.com/translate/text.html and had to go through and add the appropriate punctuation. Using the two, French and English, side by side made more sense but there still appeared to be vernacular terms I didn\'t get. Arthur\'s translation is spot on.

My knowledge of French was gathered (British Education at it\'s best!!) some 30+ years ago and until recently I have had very little usage, with the exception of a couple of copies of GEO I was able to read.

Eh eh I doubt that anything els then human could translate that comment. considering it\'s full of slang, typing errors and spelling errors I doubt any programme would make anything out of it :p
And no probleme for the translation, feel free to send me all your things that need translating :D Now I\'ll go put myself in line behind finn for the paycheck :duh: :p

You translators should charge 1 mini per translation. Paycheques? Pah. Money\'s only used to buy more minis or more paints, anyway.

you know...

The commenter is of course, entitled to their own opinion, but it has always been a pet peeve of mine when voters/commenters take it upon themselves to \'fix\' scores they think are wrong.

Thats almost as bad as commentors chastising other commentors on the same pic.... :rolleyes:

I have to read all those damn comments and if there is one think that winds me up it is the comments along the lines of,

\"Oh come on guys...this is clearly worth more than a 9.9\"

or

\"How can this be only tabletop?\" on a mini with several hundred votes:duh:

Possibly not quite what you were meaning SV, but still annoying;)
