AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a request for a translation of a message, with the original poster seeking a translator without personal ties for anonymity. Participants engage in light-hearted banter about the necessity of this anonymity and the nature of the message, which is perceived as trivial. One user mentions passing the message to a colleague who noted the need for proper accent marks to ensure accurate translation, suggesting the words might be song lyrics. There is a humorous exchange about curiosity and the perceived lack of substance in the original post, with acknowledgments of assistance and a shared understanding that the content is not particularly serious. Overall, the conversation highlights the dynamics of translation, anonymity, and the social context of sharing seemingly insignificant messages.

Post it. I'll translate it anonymously.
 
Why would it matter if you had ties with your translator?

Lol, humorous rather than an ass like tribdog :p
 
how were you being nosy yourself?
 
It was all Greek to me, so I passed it on to a colleague of mine with whom I have no ties. He said he couldn't be sure without better accent marks. Are you able to provide these? He also said that he thinks the words are song lyrics.

Also, here's an http://vdict.com/?autotranslation", but it also requires the proper accents to be in place.

I tried that, was a bit confusing putting it all together, and also, they didn't use accents :(

I have pm'ed the translation. I had assumed that when the thing was translated, I would know why you could not have any ties with the translator. I was disappointed. Call it nosy if you will, but to me it is a matter of natural curiosity made all the more piquant by the insapidity of the message.

Hey jmmysnyder, I appreciate your help! Well it was a public post on facebook, so it wasn't something private. I just didn't want to ask my friend what it meant :p The post is stupid though, haha.
