Anyone here know enough French to translate a short message into French for me? I just got notified that one of my Naruto pieces has been posted on this French site. Nobody's taking credit for it, as far as I can tell, and they haven't bothered to take my signature off, but I'd like them to either give me credit and link to my DA page, or to take it down, and I want to send it in French just to ensure the site admin can read it.

My first rip! I'm so proud! ;) OK, it's not a real rip since nobody's claiming credit, but hey.

well, Babelfish's god-awful in German. incoherent in places, such that the only way to discern the original English is to run the phrase back through and manually re-translate into German. (I would never use Babelfish; i worked on a project with a moron that did, and I had to fix it.) And since this is specifically for French...I've got no frame of reference, really.

But i don't like it.

Right, I tried to translate those sewing directions, just hoping for coherency, and half of the words were translated literally which missed the meaning for the context and made the directions useless, 1/3 of the words weren't even translated, and the others were grammatically -weird- when put into English.
