A little nervous, but I feel like I am prepared for our trip thanks to everyone here. One problem though--
I am alergic to shirimp--can someone tell me how to say that? I can%26#39;t believe that I didn%26#39;t look into this before now!!
Thank you!!

How exciting - have a great time!
I have a translator on my computer and this is how %26quot;I am allergic to shrimp%26quot; translated:
Je suis alergic au shirimp
Perhaps you could write it down to show the waiter. Better safe than in the hospital!
Bon Voyage!

LOL BJL what kind of translator do you have??
I am allergic to shrimps = je suis allergique aux crevettes (note that %26quot;aux%26quot; is pronounced %26quot;oh%26quot;)
|||
Thanks for the translation.
It%26#39;s on a note card and packed away.
|||
Apparently not a very good one, Woofy68! I have a Mac G5 and the translator is part of the Dashboard tools (dictionary, currency converter, metric to feet, etc) I sure won%26#39;t trust it from now on!

Try this site for pronunciatuion help:
http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php
It works pretty well with phrases and sentences. Less reliable with single words though...
|||
Thanks - I think this one is pretty good as well - better than my on-computer one! The website trnslated the shrimp line almost exactly as Woofy68 did.

Have a GREAT trip ob2 ! Good thing you are leaving from Boston and not Chicago/O%26#39;Hare. Most flights in and out of O%26#39;Hare are cancelled........blizzard conditions here today. We are buried in snow here in Chicago area. Bon Voyage!
|||
ob2...great weather for flying here in Boston, no? A taste of spring. May it be as warm in Paris. Have a wonderful time!

BJL -
The AT%26amp;T site I posted isn%26#39;t a translation site. It is strictly a pronunciation site. Automatic translation sites produce mediocre results at best with anything except very simple sentences — and are not always reliable then.

Ah, thank you, Irish - good to know!
