Source language: Swedish

Jag var i Grenoble hela förra året. Staden i sig är inte vacker men i övrigt är det min absoluta drömstad. Jag känner till det mesta och åker dit om 6 dagar. Var bor du så kan jag kanske ge dig lite tips om du inte känner till det så bra?
Ha det bra!

Target language: English

I spent all last year in Grenoble. The town itself isn't beautiful, but otherwise it's the town of my dreams." I know the town well and am going back there again in 6 days. Where do you live? I might be able to give you some tips if you don't know this town as well as I do!
Take care!

These expressions (and also some spelling) don't seem quite accurate to me:
-last year I went to Grenoble
-where did you stay

Form of translation before I edited it:
The entire last year I spent in Grenoble. The town it self is´nt really beautiful but my general impression is: the town of my dreams. I know the town well and are on my way there again
in 6 days. Where did you live, I might be able to give you some tips if you don´t know this town as well?
Take care!

Considering with the French version, the Verb 'habiter' isn't in the past tense, so I THINK it could be: Where do you live so that I could give you some information in the case you don't know it (the town) very well? Enjoy your stay!

"I know the town really well"
"some tips"-"some advice"/"indications"
"in case you don't know it so well"
"Bon séjour"-"Have a nice staying (in here)!"

I agree with Angelus, it should be "do" and not "did".

Based on the French translation, tis text seems to be cut in tiny sentences. Not very fluid, IMO.

The translation from the French has taken a bit too much liberty throughout the translation.

As a whole the translation is barely OK. Some of the meaning in the translation from Swedish is "lost":
1. "isn't really beautiful" will be better (Meaning only)as: " The city/town itself isn't beautiful but otherwise it's the city/town of my dreams"
2. "Enjoy your stay!" is better translated (Meaning only) as "Take care!"

Hi people, thanks for advice!
I will correct a few things, the text seem to be more fluid the way figge2001 suggested, and the last tense has to be Take care...as it first was. In the swedish origin text it is NOT saying Enjoy your stay! or have a nice stay.
The Swedish origin text is more like: you have to look after your self / take care.

I hope this is ok. now..

As it is a "meaning only" translation I think it is good and can be validated

Salut, Hello, Hi

Je pense que le mot "beautiful" est trop fort ici. Le mot utilisé en français est "jolie" et je pense qu'en anglais le mot "pretty" convient mieux pour décrire une ville.

Well, I guess it reflects the Swedish original enough now, and can be validated!

Thanks everybody!
