Help please with german translation

[johnny senna]

Hi fellas,

I thought it was time I tried to get my Manthey bills translated. They came with the car, the work was done by a previous owner.

Does anyone on here speak good enough German to help me please?

I would be very grateful. Here are the documents:

Will give you a literal translation -I just tried to scan and paste, but couldn't.

I've got quite a few technical terms translated here because my car had a load of work done by RS Tuning in '96.

Thanks Melv, I was going to try that but I figured it would take along time to do and the context of some words might be lost in translation using an online dictionary??

I'll give it a go.

Have you tried Babelfish? Its here:

Won't be perfect but it'll do big blocks of text in one go.

Also (I have found) with German if there's something it won't translate try breaking the German word up into sensible fragments, often it'll do the pieces and you can cobble it back together.

I will try that one as well.

I wouldn't mind someone fluent in German giving it a go though!!

I work for a Swiss bank I'll ask someone to have a crack at it if you like.

Thanks mate. That would be very useful.

I'm trying to get a German chap I know to do it, but he hasn't replied to my e-mail as yet.

You can say that again!!

Mind you, my clutch has just gone. It's a race against time to get it replaced before Vmax on Sunday. More expense!

Sorry Johnny, everyone I've asked has just sucked their teeth, I think its a bit specialised for your average banker ...

Mate, thanks for trying. I have got a German mate on the case. He is going to try to do it over the weekend, so here's hoping. Thanks again.

Working on it!
