Title	Guten Tag Herr M., Ein Kollege ...
Text Submitted by cbc	Source language: German Guten Tag Herr M., Ein Kollege von mir, seine Freundin ist Chinesin, suchte eine Stelle in China bei einer auslÃ¤ndischen Firma, z.B. als Produktionsleiter, QualitÃ¤tsÃ¼berwachung oder dergleichen. M. B., xxx@yyy.zz Ich habe ihm auch Ihre Koordinaten durchgegeben. Liebe GrÃ¼ÃŸe auch von M. B., Ã¼ber ihn bin ich auf Sie gestoÃŸen. Wir haben uns wahrscheinlich schon mal an einem "Bertschy-Fest" getroffen. Mit freundlichen GrÃ¼ÃŸen M. B.
Remarks about the translation	Male names abbreviated <goncin />.

Title	Dear Mr. M., A colleague...
Dịch English Translated by jollyo	Target language: English Dear Mr. M., A collegue of mine, his girlfriend is Chinese, looked for a job in China at a foreign firm, e.g. as a production manager, quality surveillance or suchlike. M.B., xxx@yyy.zz I have also given him your coordinates. Best regards, also from M.B., I came across you because of him. We probably met before at a â€œBertschy-partyâ€. Kind regards, M.B.
Remarks about the translation	It seems a bit strange to me that this letter starts in past tense rather than present tense. "sucht" instead of "suchte"? In which case "looked for" should be edited into "is looking for". Jollyo

	jollyo Tổng số bài gửi: 330	The strange thing is that the original text actually says that this friend stopped looking... The translation is correct in that point, or the writer meant to say something else Girlfriend in English usually has the sound of a relationship, which is not necessarily the case here...
