Could you translate this block of text for me?

CASSEZ-VOUS !!!!

Vous ne me connaissez pas, ma famille, les personnes de mon pays, notre situation politique, quelque chose.

Je ne connais pas vous, ou votre famille, par conséquent pourquoi je n'en ai pas fait des attaques directes sur elles ou leur personnalité, ou vôtre.

Cependant, je sais votre pays fonctionne, il prend 80% de nos rapports de nouvelles chaque jour avec la façon embarrassante qu'il montre lui-même.

Les USA sont un embarras au monde occidental.

Assez dits, maintenant vous serez... enfant idiot bloqué.

I got this out of Babelfish:

BREAK YOU!!!! You do not know me, my family, the people of my country, our political situation, something. I do not know you, or your family, consequently why I did not make of it direct attacks on them or their personality, or yours. However, I know your country functions, it takes 80% of our reports/ratios of news each day with the embarrassing way which it shows itself. The USA are an embarrassment in the Western world. Enough said, now you will be... blocked idiotic child.

I need a translation so I can report a certain GTP member to our moderators. This is greatly appreciated.
 
Why not just send it like it is and let them translate? We have a couple of decently-ejekated mods floating around.
 
Besides, PunkRock is from Montreal, so he speaks French... or Frenchadian at least.

"Shut up !!!!

You don't know me, my family, my countrymen, our political situation, anything.

I don't know you or your family which is why I did not make direct attacks on them or their personalities - or yours.

However, I do know how your country functions - it takes up 80% of our news reports every day with the embarrassing way it presents itself.

The USA is an embarrassment to the Western world.

All that said, you are now blocked... stupid, idiotic child."


I'm not sure on cassez-vous. Technically it just means "break you", but contextually it doesn't make any sense.
 
Le Français détestent MachOne.

Yeah, you're pretty much on the money. A complete and accurate translation is actually quite difficult, even if a fluent/native speaker (my family is bilingual). Cassez-vous could be associated with a few meanings. It obviously seems like it's in response to a rather indecent comment; Sounds like he/she is saying "screw you". However, there are several ways it could be interpreted.

Famine, do you speak French too?

FormulaGT
 
Just abit of grammar fix in the translation babelfish gave us. It's not that difficult to make out what the poster was trying to say.

What I'm interested is what you said to incite him Machone.

Comme ci comme ca.

(screw cedillas)

I've got a bit of an ear for languages, and I tend to pick up a conversational smattering quite easily. Apparently my (absent) paternal grandfather was a lecturer in modern languages, and a Francophone, at Aberystwyth...
 
no offence man, but you ticked off the member, he insulted you and then added you to his ignore list.

What's wrong with that?

As far as I know, PMs are in the off-limit area, so you can pretty much say what you please, as long as you're not offering kiddie porn or something like that.
 
And you obviously said something to offend him to an extent he sends you a PM.

Actually, you don't even know the half of it. Not even a quarter of it.

You don't know anything about the situation at hand, so don't try to make assumptions. A moderator has been contacted about the member, and this topic no longer serves a purpose.
 
Well don't blame us for getting curious about a topic you posted.

I mean, why would anyone question the translated contents of a message that is clearly a retaliation from a member, who thinks you have said some inflammatory comments?

The moment your situation became under public scrutiny is when you posted it.
 
honestly... why make a topic/thread of it if it's something between the mods?
 
Actually, I do believe that the member, and the moderators, would prefer that I report it to them and not you.
Then that is exactly what you should have done. As has been pointed out, we have mods capable of translating from French (Flat-out is French!)

Posting this in a public forum is bound to get the reaction that it got.

I wasn't even thinking that we had any mods that spoke French. I've only seen a few of Flat-out's posts, and I never thought of Famine being able to translate.:ouch:

Just a few random Accents.. Not that anyone cared.

Je pense que ce wire peut être fermé. Est-ce que vous êtes d'accord avec moi, MachOne?

Sidethought: I've always wanted to put a D' in front of an Accord emblem.
 
Oui je conviens. Ce fil peut-il être mis hors de lui est-il de la misère ?

er... so you speak French now? WTF?

Or you speak French, but can't translate it into English... that's it, isn't it?
 
Lesson learned: don't create a waste thread asking for help when you can resolver the problem yourself without making a fool of yourself.




Ciao!
