I’m desperate, and she’s worth it.
Thanks
I want to send a letter in Swiss German (Zürich dialect) to someone very important to me. I will pay $50 (Paypal, Venmo, whatever) if someone could translate a letter from English to Swiss German.
Personally I would want a love letter to be the other's work only, translating would go against that. Throw in some dialect phrases if you want but don't let anybody get between the two of you (that's what a translator would be, kind of). But then again I'm a man, women may see this differently.
I agree. If she wants you, then surely "the real thing", the you as you really are, un-faked. But then again, that's my personal standard.
Google translate?
If not, go on fiverr.com, someone will do it for less than $50..
Nope, they don't. It was my first thought too but I didn't want to crush OP's enthusiasm.
You mean if she is not into OP at least she has a giggle?
Many years ago, pre-google, I used an online translator to try and write a romantic card to the man who is now my husband. I meant to say I was bored when I was not with him. Instead I said I was bored of being with him. Fortunately he knew what I really meant and we still have a good laugh about it.
So yeah, I wouldn't put all my faith in an online translator even though they have improved a lot.
OP never said he has a romantic interest in this lady, just that it's very important.
Maybe he just wants to send death threats?
Everyone is assuming he is a guy, she is a girl, and he is in love.
Maybe they are both women. Maybe she is a kidnapper and the bloke she's kidnapped has a rich mother who doesn't speak English.
In summary, too many assumptions.
You're pretty good at assumptions too. So welcome to the club you just joined here.
We seem to be more the old fashioned types while you have an exciting life to conclude from or watch too much telly.
If it's the former: Tell us more.
Are you a cop?
I am absolutely not a cop, and for the curious I am male and the person whom I want to send a letter is female. What the hell does being a cop have to do with any of this?
I agree that it is less genuine if I have a translator, but it being that I have no skills in Swiss German, Google Translate does not include Swiss German, and it’s time critical I was hoping for some help.
I badly wish I could write what I want in her native tongue but I cannot. While I plan to take lessons to learn - if things work out - in the moment I need help.
While I appreciate all responses, clearly nobody has interest in simply translating a letter for whatever reason. I simply wanted to let this person know just how important she is, and doing so in her native tongue which she doesn’t get to hear or read often.
Although I question why people are concerned with my intentions, they are genuine. I need to remember that skepticism rules. It sucks being a hopeless romantic in such a cynical world. If any female forum members are reading this, just know that some of us are trying but it’s an uphill battle.
Regards
I think the question about being a cop was aimed at me. (No it doesn't make more sense now ).
As a female let me tell you, we just luv guys fighting uphill battles to get to us.
Sounds like your femal friend doesn't live in Switzerland eihter (foreign population is not yet that high that Swiss-German is not heard anymore).
How long is that letter? If it's just the size of a postcard (in normal font), maybe I could be persuaded.
What are you gonna do if she replies in Swissgerman?
Its funny the way the truth comes out in unexpected ways
Write what you wish in English, and use google to translate it to German. Add a sentence along the lines that "although you yet must use technology to translate your words, your heart will gladly learn to speak directly to hers"
(You did claim to be a romantic, right?)
Who would want to write a love letter in Pidgin Swiss German?
The cop question was directed at the member who asked me to describe my interactions with the underworld, not at you.
Anyhow, how old are you? Respectfully, you write like an adult, but you act like a teenager. That's why nobody takes you seriously.
A man doesn't chase women. Boys chase girls. Not men.
I can guarantee she wouldn't do the same for you. That girl that you think is your soulmate will happily swap you for someone taller, better looking, or richer. That girl you think is a perfect little princess, has fantasies of being tag-teamed by strangers she met at a club. That woman that you think is your loyal companion will suck your bank account dry and leave you without saying goodbye, and report you to the police for rape and harassment if you question it.
I know you're thinking "no, she's different, you don't know her". That's what millions of men said before you, they all thought their girl was different. And now they're broken men, bankrupt, in prison, or wasted years of their lives.
Women are nasty little psychopaths mate. Don't write her a love letter.
Anyhow, I'm the only one in here who did actually answer your question. Go on fiverr.com, someone will translate it for $5-$10 and you'll have it in an hour or two. But I wouldn't bother.
OP, do you see this? She has no respect for you as a person, she just likes to see you "fight" for her, because you are just a source of validation to her.
Whilst you are desperate and suffering inside, these little drama queens sit back and enjoy the attention. When they are done using you to boost their self esteem or their wallets, they move on to their next victim.
And you are either trolling or have no experience at all 😂
I have all the experience I need. You however, are an established troll here.
Bitter little sausage, aren't you?
Sounds like he does.
Were the letter to him, it would start with: "Liebi Fruschtbüüle"
@OP, do NOT use that in your's, under no circumstances!
