"weiden" seems to be completely wrong! The right word is "wieder", so the right traslation is: The next time I visit Munich, I will definitely look you up again.

Ah yes - that's probably what was meant. Lilian, can you please put the word "again" in the second sentence? Also, the original German needs editing. It should be as follows:

Bei meinem nächsten München-Besuch werde ich sicher wieder bei Ihnen anfragen!

If it didn't have so many typos, the requester could certainly have translated it on Google.

Ithink that there are errors in the German submission. It should be "Ihnen fragen" instead of 'Ihen afragen', I think.

gamine, that's the original, not the translation.

Hi kafetzou, I know that, but if I'm right it should have been rejected according to our rules and not even translated.

Or at least it should have been set in stand-by, and we admins should have asked an expert in German to edit.

But the translation request probably passed through when we were sleeping or busy elsewhere.

Lene's right, according to our rule #[6] the text is not acceptable to translation.

Es ist für mich;
"Bei meinem nächsten München-Besuch werde ich sicher mich weiden an Ihnen anfragen!"

I think we need some help from our German experts to edit the original before evaluating the translation.

Girls?

Kafetzou is right, that's the way it should have been in the first place.

Dear friends,
I am not agree with you. Why do you try to use "wieder,again" here ?
It means for me; " The next time (when)I visit Munich, I'll definitely be happy to see you.(or look you up)"
Because, as you know, "sich an etw weiden" means "to be happy".

MerdoÄŸan, please see Marco E.'s comment above. I've never heard "sich an etw weiden". It's clearly a typo (typing mistake), as there were several others in the original text.

'I will definitely ask for you again' instead of 'look you up again'. But only my opinion.

I don't think so, because it says "bei Ihnen anfragen". Otherwise, I think it would be "nach Ihnen fragen".

I find this one quite difficult. 'Ihnen' can be the polite word for 'you'. Honestly, you can be right to, Kafetzou.

Ihnen is the polite form of you, and that's how I translated it. How else could it be interpreted?

I think it's fairly straightforward. It's just that the person, probably writing on an iPhone or something like that, didn't bother to proofread what s/he had written.
