A mess

Google and Babelfish created this gem:

Hello, in which sector of Rimouski do you live? Your LS is similar with the mien (brackets in less); it is one 2007? I also have buy wheels (American Racing Split 17 ") which I will install the next year. My mother always lives Sacré-coeur, I go there every summer with my family, usually in August. I have been install in Outaouais for 20 years. Welcome on this site!

You'd think with me living in the nations capital I'd be bilingual...nope. 6 years of french language training many moons ago and I can't recall very much of it

 

Not bad, you still get the jist of it. I like to mess with web translators because I know they pretty much use word for word translation. You can get pretty funny results that way.

My comment about getting a french subforum was tongue-in-check (see the smily?). I think it's understood that most international forums are going to use english, at least until chinese takes over. <- See, there's another one!

Let me explain some background here: the spoken language in Rimouski is 99.8% french. I went to grade & high school there, and if things haven't changed, most people can read & understand some english, but most cannot sustain a conversation (Not enough practice). I don't know why DinoConcept chose to post in french, but I suspect that it's because he didn't feel comfortable enough to come up with something in english. Dino, please correct me if I'm wrong here.

I didn't speak or write any english before I went to university, when I was 18.

There are a lot of other countries in the world exactly in the same situation. I don't know about you guys, but once the HHR is sold in Europe, if someone comes in here with their first post in italian, greek or german, I sure hope that someone will be capable of greeting them in their language, show them around and offer some help.

Anyway, I hope Dino comes back and tells us about his company, and shows us interesting graphic designs and ideas that he seems to have. His ride is certainly one of the most original that I've seen so far, and his execution looks to be top notch.

I'm well aware of the internet being global, but if you want to sell something in American it might be wise to speak English, you might be a little more successful.

See ya down the road

Why can't we just say Welcome to the Club and Continue to Enjoy the Ride!?
No matter what Language it is in?!
I do not speak French, but he is glad that he has found this site, and wants to share with all, he is not selling.
If he was selling he would have to be a Supporting Vendor.
So my 2cents are now in.
Now let the bashing start on me!




Again, Welcome to the Club and Continue to Enjoy Your Ride!!!!

 

I agree with you Karen!! Who said he was selling anything?
I bet he doesn't have any problems with language in his shop.

 

J'ai oublié de dire : HHR agréable, et Accueillir au Club !
should say:
I forgot to say: Nice HHR, and Welcome to the Club!

 

Ease up troops!
A welcome is in order, in any language! We all speak HHR here! That is our common bond.

Thanks for sharing your HHR DinoConcept! I hadn't seen one with that type of graphic. Similar though....

Welcome to ChevyHHR.net!

 

Great language.... Chevy HHR is spoken here.... Welcome to the site Dino

 

So everyone in the US speaks English? Hmmmmmmm. The world is multilingual. Your neighbour up north is bilingual. Way to make non-English speaking HHR owners welcome.

Nice HHR Dinoconcepts.
