I think the blue and the grey paras are the same.
I apologise if this is anything ‘rude’. I can only translate a few words.
Thanks in advance

I can’t type that lot in.
I am hoping someone who can speak French will be able to help.

My phone does a translate service from your photo. How useful it is though.....

Hello everyone, I think you are very severe on pepito, of course he made a mistake and he bites his fingers but personally I do not believe that his exclusion can solve our problems with 187 which will always find a pretext for us ruin life and that without a response from us in the face of their repeated attacks, they will not let go. We still have some very powerful people in our alliance to be able to counter them even if it could be expensive.

You don't want to type that lot into Google, but you want someone to translate it and type the English version up for you. That's a bit cheeky really Grin
dreamingbohemian · 29/10/2021 11:10

Well that sounds ominous

timeisnotaline · 29/10/2021 11:12

@Standstheclockattentothree yup! Plus hasn’t heard of copy paste?

dontgobaconmyheart · 29/10/2021 11:16

Copy and paste? Google translate is far from perfect but will give you the gist.

NorthSouthcatlady · 29/10/2021 11:17

@Standstheclockattentothree err yeah it is!

SoupDragon · 29/10/2021 11:17

The translate app on my phone does it by scanning text with the camera. It's like magic.

As it came up with exactly what SillyBub typed, I assume that's what they did too.

00100001 · 29/10/2021 11:19

Copy and paste into Google translate....

Less effort than taking a photo, uploading it to MN, creating the post and waiting for a response and dealing with the inevitable questions of "why not copy and paste into Google translate?"...

Confused
BaronessBomburst · 29/10/2021 11:20

You can use the camera in the goggle translate app on your phone to read it directly from the screen.

callingon · 29/10/2021 11:24

The google translation above is reasonably the same as what I got out of it as someone who can read French (although not a native speaker) apart from ‘he bites his fingers’ is more like - he’s kicking himself. I don’t understand what it’s about though without the context.

NoNayNever · 29/10/2021 11:24

Hi everybody. I think you have been harsh (on pepito?). Certainly he made a mistake and he regrets it but personally I don't think his exclusion will resolve our problems with 187(?) who will always find an excuse to ruin our life and if we don't respond to their repeated aggression they won't leave us alone. We still have some very powerful people in our alliance who can counter them even if it might be expensive.

My French is very rusty though and the apps mentioned above would give you a pretty good idea of the meaning.

KingofQueens · 29/10/2021 11:24

Well, someone's not happy at all are they? Oh dead.

As pp said- you can't be bothered to type allthat, but happy for someone to type up the translation in English. Nah mate! Grin

Suffice to say, they aren't happy - there have been attempts to ruin their lives and they know some powerful people - I'd watch your back.

Catawaul · 29/10/2021 11:25

So, who's Pepito?

KingofQueens · 29/10/2021 11:25

I meant oh dear! Not oh dead! It's not THAT bad. But it's bad.

BadPlaceJanet · 29/10/2021 11:28

Hello everyone. I think you're being very harsh to/about Pepito. Certainly he made a mistake, and he feels bad about it, but personally, I don't think excluding him can resolve our problems with 187, who will always find a pretext to ruin our lives, and that if we don't respond to their repeated aggressions / attacks, they won't let go of us. After all, we still have several powerful people in our alliance to counter them, even if that could prove costly to us.

KingofQueens · 29/10/2021 11:29

@Catawaul

So, who's Pepito?
A very naughty boy by the sound of it!

Bit lazy??
MissCruellaDeVil · 29/10/2021 11:32

How cheeky! Why not use translate?

WhoKnew19 · 29/10/2021 11:33

NoNayNever and a BadPlaceJanet have given good translations.

Bluntness100 · 29/10/2021 11:37

Totally love this op. I can’t type that lot into Google, so could someone read it and type that lot in English onto mumsnet for me. 😂

Bluesheep8 · 29/10/2021 11:39

Il s'en mordes les doigts means he only has himself to blame

dreamingbohemian · 29/10/2021 11:46

Ah. I was thinking Pepito was a dog, with the biting, but maybe not.
