I need to send an email to someone in France who bought some old banknotes from me on eBay. Our communication so far has been strange as I have forgotten most of my French and he doesn't even attempt English. My bank has been happy to process his cheque without any extra charges (his Euros into my UK sterling account) and I would just like to send a message to say the cheque has cleared and his item will be posted soon.
I use several free online translation sites to help me work out what is written on foreign sites but know that these cheap translations can get a bit bizarre. I just did a simple sentence, put it into one online service then tested it by putting their translation into another site. The 'English' that resulted was a good laugh but I would be embarrassed to send the French version if it was that wrong.
