Default Do you speak fluent Italian?

Got little project in mind, but it starts with a language barrier, looking for someone who speaks fluent Italian to help out.

If all else fails - there's always google translate

https://translate.google.com/#

Type your message in English, translate it into Italian, then copy and paste the Italian and translate it back into English.............. if it's still understandable, you're usually good to go.

If the back translation is gobledeegook, try changing a few words until the back translation improves.

E.G.
Scrivi il tuo messaggio in inglese, traduzione in italiano, quindi copiare e incollare l'italiano e tradurre di nuovo in inglese .............. se è ancora comprensibile, di solito sei a posto.

Write your message in English, translated into Italian, then copy and paste the Italian and translated back into English .............. it is still understandable, you are usually right.

Probably should have said that it is required for a phone conversation as the place in Italy don't have email.

Hi Rich,

A very good friend of mine is Italian, he was a diplomat at the Manchester embassy before he retired so he may be able to help you?

Let me know.

Tom.
