| | Posted : 13 Jul 2011 - 15:21 Post title : Un piccolo aiuto per favore | | | I was wondering if I could get some translation help from one of our Italian forum members. I sent out an email recently to inquire about a particular motorcycle and a few of the words don't exactly translate very clearly via google translate (big surprise). The following is the message I got via email.
| salve la moto ?? una scrambler bianco nera con il kit retro ?? borsa laterale nuova da immatricolare ed il prezzo ?? 8000.00 se sei interessato fammi sapere. |
|
Which translates as...
| prejudice the bike is black with white scrambler kit saddlebag back is to be registered and the new price is 8000.00 if you are interested let me know. |
|
Ignoring the literal translation of Salve, what confuses me is the "kit saddlebag back is to be registered". I've not seen one of these bikes with a saddlebag so that confuses me and the other is the comment about 'is to be registered'. I know how bad these translators can be so I thought I'd ask and see if anyone here could give me a paraphrase of what this email is trying to convey.
Thanks

"borso laterale nuova" sounds like "new back bag", something like a topcase or a rear-end bag, the bike has to be registered yet, but it's kind of hard without proper commas....
I'll ask one of my italian friends tomorrow, hope you can wait so long!
Cheers

Hi, the bike is a black and white scrambler with a retro kit on, new pannier(s) included. Bike has to be registered first, price 8000 (of whatsoever currency or potatoes). If you are interested, let me know.
Cheers again

Thanks,
