I created blogs for each of the contestants for this year’s Nouvelle Star and so had no choice but to write them in French. I don’t have the time or inclination to sit around trying to write in a language other than my own so I used Google Translate to translate what I wrote into French.
I have to say Google Translate works really well, much better than other free online translators which I’ve used. It wasn’t perfect of course, it translated fan to ventilateur rather than, well, fan, and it changed Dove, the guy from the Nouvelle Star to la Colombe. At least I’ve learnt a new word in French. The bird, dove, is une colombe. Great, that should come in handy.
So next time I have to write a letter in French I’ll just write it in English first and then throw it through the translator and cross my fingers.
