Does anyone speak Italian? I need some assistance


Recommended Posts

I had no idea where to post this one, so thought it may as well reside in the forum it relates to.

 

I have found a Kuzma Stabi S motor only for sale in Italy. It is listed on a number of Italian only sites. I sent the poster an email, but apart from a standard "Buongiorno" greeting I had to put the rest in English. Perhaps not surprisingly I have had no response, much as I would be if someone sent me an email in Italian.

 

Can anyone assist me with communication, or suggest a way to approach this? Thanks in advance

Use google translate 

Chose English to Italian 

 

Sample below 

English 

hello i am interested in the Kuzma Staby motor 

 

Italian 

ciao sono interessato al motore Kuzma Staby

 

 

Thanks guys. I did think of that, but it can be quite clunky and may get some things wrong at times. In the absence of any other suggestions I will give it a go

You are quite correct. Even professional translation programs still require editing for syntax. 

Pm me if services are still required.

Thanks Auracle. I sent off a Google Translated message prior to seeing your post. I'll see how that goes, and contact you if I still need some help

When I was buying an item from Russia I trialled both Google and Bing translate and then did reverse translations to find the "best".

 

I told the Russians it was a machine translation and included the english as well just in case they wanted to try translating themselves.

 

It all went well.?

I would suggest if you use Google translate to include a statement that you are using it so the other party will (hopefully) be forgiving of mistakes.

Good advice, thanks guys. I did mention I was using Google translate, and repeated what I had said in my earlier email in English. The only thing I didn't do was try the alternative translation. Fingers crossed

Send your message in Italian and English.  Make sure your English message is in simple straightforward standard English, avoiding jargon and slang that could be misinterpreted by a translation program.

No wonder you didn't cope on your own. Italian is challenging to learn. As a native speaker of the Italian language, I can recommend an excellent translation service https://thewordpoint.com/languages/italian-translation-services
I think you could use this service to write a quality letter in Italian and get a reply letter soon.

If you need a translator, you can use this service. I use this service to translate to spanish and want to celebrate its quality. While working with this application, I have never noticed any mistakes in translation. Plus, this service is free. I think you will like it.
