Free Romanian translation - why you should or should not use them.

Do you want a free Romanian translation? You must remember that you always get what you pay for - and a Romanian translation is no different.

I always use Google translate for my Romanian translations. As I am still learning Romanian they look great - I pass them onto Romanians with complete flops. Indeed I cannot think of a single email I have written using Romanian from Google translate which was answered. They cause my wife physical pain to see her language so profoundly messed up by a computer. The other firms think that if this is his level of learning - we will never communicate at a decent level and prefer to lose trade than make the effort - this is something you quickly learn about Romanian companies - if they can find a way to lose business - they will. To provide a decent customer service to the jolly foreigner won't happen - Romanians don't expect a decent service - so don't count in this discussion.

So when does a free Romanian translation bode well? Thank you cards and Get well soon cards to Romanian friends - they like the touch and it is great way for them to jump on their foreigner husband and say - "Joe was here two weeks - and has better Romanian than you (as they expect foreigners Romanian to be bad)" - this fatal card with then travel around all the extended family - providing endless joy to every Aunt and granny to point out the local husband should write more in Romanian... and make you a welcome guest the following time you come to call.

I recently heard a funny story about a company who wanted Welsh signs - they sent their message to be translated - and posted the Welsh response in huge letters next to their supermarket - alas no one in central office knew Welsh - not really needed in Central London - so did not discover until it was too late when they read what the sign said... The error message - 'No one is in the office at the moment - please try again later...

What mishaps have you had when you have used a free Romanian translation service? My wife - while dating - offered me a massage (meant message) from Romania!
