Anyone here speak German?
 

Worth a shot!!

I'm in the middle of a real wangle with a hire care company in Switzerland - long story but the outcome is they're trying to charge us (a fortune!) for engine damage to a brand new car, which we deny was our fault.

I've got a letter from Mazda, which apparently details the fault but we can't translate it - is there anyone that might be able to help?

Cheers
JM

I can read a bit of german but not techincal stuff which is bound to be in teh letter.

Have you tried typing it into word and then getting it to translate it. It wont be word perfect but it woudl give you an idea of what they saying

Same as Rog really, I have only a passing knowledge of German. Try Nadiene die biene on here, or MJ, she is half German I think. At a long shot, PM it and I'll get my Dad to read it, he is fluent.

Make up your mind - should he use "Word" or "Word Perfect"?

:p :D :)

Re: Anyone here speak German?
 

I can. If you want to send me a copy of the letter I can translate it for you. Let me know via PM.

Cheers.

Send it back to them saying you don't understand what they are talking about so cannot comment and as such will be continuing with your stance that you cannot take responsibility.
