Default Anybody know French? Need help!

Hey all,

Just curious if anyone here can write in French? I made an ebay sale to a guy in France but we are having trouble communicating. I need to tell him that his address that came with Paypal is incomplete so I need him to email me his complete address so I can ship his package. Any help would be would be great!

Thanks!
Amy

Go to the Following Translation site,
http://translation.langenberg.com/

or copy and paste :
Monsieur, pour expédier la page à vous, j'ai besoin de votre adresse complète d'expédition
which means:
Sir, To mail your package to you, I need your complete shipping address.

Be careful when using online translators... a lot of words have multiple definitions and sometimes you can end up sending a very ridiculous translation (as I learned when trying to help my husband with some translating information from a french car forum).

I went to french school, but I didn't learn french "car speak" so I tried to use Babelfish to help me... and that's when I saw how silly some of the translations are - or at least how inaccurate!
