    There's a car on a German website I'm kinda interested in and would like to ask the owner a few questions, but I don't speak the language. Is there anyone on here who could translate them for me?

    Paul did a good job for ya the other day translating car related phrases about that Audi from German into English :)

    But it looks like this time you need a native speaker. Send a friendly PM to peasant and I'm sure he'll help you out.

    use this link if you want

    just copy and paste the whole block of text and it will translate with a few grammar mistakes,which can be funny

    verwenden Sie diese Verbindung, wenn Sie wünschen gerade Kopie und kleben den Ganztextabschnitt und sie übersetzt mit einigen Grammatikfehlern, die lustig sein können

    Yes, Paul did a great job and I'm very grateful.

    I did use the google translate before for a friend who was interested in a car. He got a reply saying "I do not sell lemonade" Found out later it translated "limo" into "lemonade" !

    The problem was it didn't trasnlate 'limo'. Limo is the German for lemonade. I'd still have given google translate a go - how bad could it be? :)
