I am sure there are polish speakers on MN. Didnt we have a thread where someone translated things for a poster last year?

state you need to learn polish OR befriend someone who does. Grin

I've got a fab translate android app on my smart phone. I use it at work all the time and women seem to understand it fine. I speak in English, phone speaks in Polish. They speak in Polish, phone speaks in English. Saves a fortune on Language Line.

SoC - you need to get the app and then have a conversation via the phone with them.

Viva that sounds great - any chance it's available on the crap iPhone too? Is it costly?

VivaLeBeaver · 29/03/2012 08:10

Its Google Translate. Freen on Android, dunno if you have to pay for the iphone version.

You can upload photos larger on the MN site - just put a larger number in when it says "resize?".

LadyBabsWalthamCuddles · 29/03/2012 10:08

I don't know Polish, would give it a good try at least, just to keep us entertained that bit longer

RabidEchidna · 29/03/2012 10:31

Right first point of call we need a polish speaking mumsnetter, so how do we find one?
Start a thread: Polish speaking mumsnetter wanted and link it to here?

Second point of call, they seem to be getting lazy, once we have a polish speaker on board we can leave them notes with tasks on for them to "win" chocolate and so on big brother style Grin

JaxTellerIsMyFriend · 29/03/2012 10:41

state why are you the different Mum? Do you actually parent? Grin

Yes to the new polish speaking MNer. rabid I think you should start the thread and link to this one, otherwise there will be 10 threads asking for the same thing.,

StateofConfusion · 29/03/2012 12:56

that would be fun rabid

jax everyone here knows each other, went to the schools and now there dc do, and the actually parent bit isnt far from the truth, things like not letting them trample the new fower beds at school gets me Hmm looks.

oh and the fact that ds has long hair not a buzz cut and he chose to wear an acdc tshirt on non uniform day not a tracksuit/foot ball kit

OP posts:
BareBums · 29/03/2012 13:12

Sounds dire state still good excuse to let DCs run wild Wink

RabidEchidna · 29/03/2012 13:16

StateofConfusion · 29/03/2012 15:17

HERE IS MY POLISH SPEAKER PLEA

winnybella · 29/03/2012 18:05

I'm Polish and will happily help...I think Hmm What kind of evil plan have you come up with? I haven't read the thread since the last few days- are the car squatting people Polish?

Have to go to give DD a bath now, but if you need me to translate stuff, just post it and I'll be back in 30 minutes or so.

CarpeNoctem · 29/03/2012 18:56

I speak Polish too :) what do I need to do?

millimat · 29/03/2012 21:00

Wow not been on here since Tuesday...and it's still going!! Took me ages to catch up. state I'm so impressed at your updates. Hope you're happy to continue for another fortnight?!!!

StateofConfusion · 29/03/2012 21:01

well rabid wants me to speak to them, no evil stuff NO WAY, im quite fond of my car dwelling neighbours! And having someone to help decipher any future rows i happen to hear.

I'm very very shy.

StateofConfusion · 29/03/2012 21:03

OP posts:
RabidEchidna · 29/03/2012 21:05

Don't blame me Grin

StateofConfusion · 29/03/2012 23:32

ok, ill be brave, im not going to knock on the window or anything though, I will wait until were at the icecream van or passing again, how about we start with, "can you understand english?"

just to be sure?

sorry no update today, having a patch of rough luck and a very old friend came round to distract me so ive not seen any action except them sitting in the car.
