Hey guys, I got an e-mail from a friend and she wants me to translate something from German... the problem is I can't find a good translator that gives me an understandable translation. So if you speak German would you please be able to translate this for me.

Ich interessiere mich für Sie dann selbst und that's warum I'm, das zurück zu Adam Ursache bewegt, wenn nicht ich für Sie auch falle

I know it isn't really a happy message, but that's all right. I need to know what it means. thanks

I don't speak it, but I did do a translator. You said you tried a few but does this make sense to you:

"I am interested in you then and that's why I'm, which induces a cause back to Adam, if not I also fall for you"

that is what I got, it jumps all over the place... what is going on between us is that we were dating, then she broke up with me to go to her ex, now she sent me this e-mail... that doesn't make much sense to me...

I also got another translator that said

"I am interested in you then yourself and that's it why I' m that moves back cause to Adam, if I do not fall for you also."

We both want to learn German, so she sent me an e-mail saying

"you want to learn German babe...use your internet and figure out what this means...

Ich interessiere mich für Sie dann selbst und that's warum I'm, das zurück zu Adam Ursache bewegt, wenn nicht ich für Sie auch falle"

and I am under the impression she put some stuff through a translator and came up with that.

I actually agree, she probably did do that, see how "that's" and "I'm" are not in German. She probably didn't realize that she put contractions in there...

I noticed that too... I did a word for word translation too... I got something completely making no sense...

"
I interest me for It then even and that's why I'm that back too Adam a cause moved if not I for it also falls."

Well I am studying Spanish in school, and it is hard to do a direct translation of Spanish to English. So it might be the same thing.

I think it is a difficult thing.. it is hard to know exactly what one person was implying when there are many different ways to have one word translated...

Sounds to me like she wants hook back up with you. I could be wrong on that, but it seems that way. Perhaps she didn't want her new boyfriend to find out what she was saying to you from reading her emails.

I wish that was the case Schoobert... but that isn't it. She said in the e-mail she wanted me to use the internet to find out what it said. She also said it was German. Her boyfriend is an ex that I actually stole her away from... it is a very long and confusing story which I don't understand why she went back to him, so I don't want to get into it right now... but thanks for the input.

does this sound like an appropriate translation of what she was trying to say? (she thinks she is in love with this Adam guy, but I know otherwise... but that isn't important right now.)

"you like me, but you went back to Adam so that you don't fall in love with me too"

if it helps i speak PWN.

i believe the translation in that language goes like this:

"OMG IRL u PWN me. i wanna hav ur 2 hot 4 me lol rl. plz gimme pl mute admin haxor nixxor plz. w33t.
p.s. u pwn rl."

that might get the message accross i think.

I speak German.
To be honest, it doesn't really make sense.

With respect, tell her to stop being a lazy linguistic failure, and stop using a translator.

I fully understand where you're getting at, but I sent her a reply already, so I guess this can be deleted and stuff... thanks for the help anyways guys.

"Deutsche" I believe it is, is German for "German." I used to hang out with Germans in a German channel on this program I had found before.

Er, yeah, it is.


Anyway, most translators translate German pretty well compared to other languages- the syntax of German and English are virtually identical.

English IS basically German with French tacked on.

The closest I can come up with is this:

(English source)
I care for you then myself and that's why I'm, that back to Adam cause moves, if not I also fall for you.

(Babelfish output)
Ich interessiere mich für Sie dann selbst und that's, warum I'm, das zurück zu Adam Ursache bewegt, wenn nicht ich auch für Sie falle.

Sounds like "I care about your feelings before my own, so I'm going back to Adam before I fall for you." Bah!

I just went ahead and ran it through a translator, and edited it just a BIT to make it make sense. I came up with this:

-----------------------------------------------------------
I am interested in you, more than yourself, and that's why I' m going to move back, (be)cause (of) Adam, if I do not (fall: meaning FAIL) for you also.
-----------------------------------------------------------

I got that from:

-----------------------------------------------------------
I am interested in you then yourself and that's it why I' m that moves back cause to Adam, if I do not fall for you also
-----------------------------------------------------------

From

-----------------------------------------------------------
Ich interessiere mich für Sie dann selbst und that's warum I'm, das zurück zu Adam Ursache bewegt, wenn nicht ich für Sie auch falle
