Title	hello, thanks for your answer...
Text Submitted by MÃ¥ddie	Source language: English Hello, thank you for your answer. I will get back to you as soon as the payment is made (if not tomorrow, on Monday for sure.) I believe you will have to deliver the item in Germany, because it is much easier for me; Iâ€™ll send you the address in an e-mail. Respectfully,
Remarks about the translation	thank you in advance :)I want to send message this in Belgium, so I guess it is Flemish.

Title	Hallo.
Translation Dutch Translated by tristangun	Target language: Dutch Hallo, dank u voor uw antwoord. Zodra de betaling afgehandeld is, kom ik bij u terug (is het niet morgen, dan is het zeker maandag.) Ik geloof dat u het pakket moet afleveren in Duitsland, omdat dit makkelijker is voor mij; Ik zal u via e-mail het adres versturen. Hoogachtend,
Remarks about the translation	I don't know how formal this letter is, but if it is not too formal you can say "merci" instead of "thank you" I also have put "u" instead of "je" because that is commonly said in Flanders.

	tristangun Number of messages: 1014	How formal is this letter, Madeleine? Is it to someone you know, or to someone you have never met? Because I need to know that so I can just some words.

	MÃ¥ddie Number of messages: 1285	No, I never met this person. I want to write to him in his own language, I suposse it will cheer him up, he doesn't speak English very well. Is that helping you Nathan? (thanks for the translation ) Madeleine

	tristangun Number of messages: 1014	Yes, then I should not use "merci" =D in Flanders we use a lot of french words, such as "merci" instead of "thank you", "Ã§ava" instead of "how are you" and "salut" instead of bye. The item you are talking about in the translation, what kind of item is it: a package? It is a formal letter, so I'll keep it the way it is now. Nathan

	MÃ¥ddie Number of messages: 1285	Yes, a package. Don't worry, I think it is good the way it is. I suposse I can use the translation, can't I? Thank you! Madeleine

	tristangun Number of messages: 1014	Yes, but probably the experts will complain about my translation, as they always do. They always say I translate too flemish, well now I am allowed to do it! And I used "u" because that is "you" in a formal way, but in the Netherlands they use "je" but in flemish we are more polite! Nathan

	MÃ¥ddie Number of messages: 1285	I for one really appreciate your help. Now, I hope he will not reply in Flemish... But if he does, I'll know what to do! Have a nice evening Nathan! Madeleine

	Urunghai Number of messages: 464	Yup, all good! I definately wouldn't add "merci", not if the letter ends with "hoogachtend" :P

	tristangun Number of messages: 1014	This is why I asked if it was a formal letter! Haha, I know merci and hoogachtend do not fit in the same text, but if she wrote it to a friend we could say merci, and change hoogachtend in something else.

	MÃ¥ddie Number of messages: 1285	Hmm, I wonder what the Dutch expert (probably Lein) will think when she sees this looong conversation Madeleine

	tristangun Number of messages: 1014	Lein is ok, I am not talking about her. At least she understand it, I am talking about Martijn en Chantal. Well, I do not want to provoce (or is it provocate?) any more conflicts. Nathan

	Lein Number of messages: 3389	To keep things formal, I would replace the exclamation mark with a full stop as in the original. Otherwise fine. OK?

	MÃ¥ddie Number of messages: 1285	Lein is doing a great job, Nathan, you are right about that. I think it is provoke Have a nice day! Madeleine

	tristangun Number of messages: 1014	I have changed it, I do not think it is any difference though. We use a lot of exclamation marks in flanders (at least I do!)
