German translation please!

[Elena]

Some friends from Germany adopted a baby boy and sent a birth announcement, and while they wrote a nice note in English, I would like to know what the announcement says

"HERZLICHEN DANK FUR DIE GUTEN WUNSCHE UND DIE TOLLEN GESCHENKE ZUR ANKUNFT VON LUCA. WIR HABEN UNS SEHR DARUBER GEFREUT."

Thanks!

[cedarhil]

Isn't this a great place! To think we have such a diverse group is amazing! I will be hopping back to this thread to see the translation too!

[earlofoxford]

Calling Anke!

[DesignerDigitals]

From German to English translator found in Google:

SINCERE THANKS TO FUR THE GOODS OF WISHES AND THE CRAZY GIFTS TO THE ARRIVAL OF LUCA. WE WERE HAPPY VERY DARUBER

[katie pertiet]

It will be interesting to see how Amber's or Anke's translations differ from google!

[Blossom]

With my rusty German I would translate it to

Thank you much for the best wishes and the wonderful gifts we got at the arrival of Luce. We have enjoyed them very much.

Some times the Google translator gives so funny translations as it doesn't have the logic sense for translations as humans.

[Elena]

Thank you Blossom for the most likely translation! However, I have to say I really enjoyed Randy's Google translation!

[cedarhil]

I love the sound of " We were happy very"

When I took foreign language classes in school we were always having to think "backwards" like that. I like how it sounds, too. :O)

[amymwitt]

I would translate this exactly as Blossom has!

[AllynD]

Blossom has it right, but I was to me over- Randy's translation -joyed.

[anke]

"Thank you for the Best wishes and the awesome presents on the occasion of Luca's arrival. It really made us happy"

sorry, I only just found this, been kind of busy today

Oh we used to play in an online translator, we'd go English to a language and then that language back to English, it would always make us giggle, a bit like Chinese whispers game.

HeHe Carol, I'm going to try this!

[dugarner]

Carol, that wind up like the game Telephone I played when I was a kid. Is that what Chinese Whispers is? When Babelfish went live many years ago, I used to spend hours entering nonsense phrases in one language and doing that very thing.
