  1. Whilst the gist of this Ducati Service doc is fairly obvious a translation would be good...

    Thanks :D

  3. Thanks Stevie but as you can see Google Translate (and all the others) are not that good!.........hence I was after a fluent English/French speaker ;-)
    As I said, I can work out the gist but I'd like an actual translation.
     
  4. Ran it past our resident French speaker here, she's a little confused as to what extra information you're expecting to get from a full translation!
     
  5. It says:
    "I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries."
    and
    "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called "Arthur King," you and all your silly English K-nig-hts."

  6. The only difference between Steve's attempt to help you and an actual translation would be that Bougies are spark plugs and not candles :rolleyes:
     
  7. Ok, thanks.......but does ENTRETIEN TRANSPARENT really mean "Clear Maintenance"?....that sounds like a literal translation rather than the actual intended meaning? That's the trouble with translations, the translator has to understand the context.

    ......just the pedant in me! lol I have a doc I want to add to my website:
    tps-bareme-entretien.pdf - www.mts1200.info/mts12_faq/mts1200_docs/ducati_service_scales_tps-bareme-entretien.pdf
    ...but it's the French version.
     
  8. Cometh the hour, cometh the man, blah blah.

  16. Service costs
    For scheduled services
     
  17. tps ............is the abbreviation for temps or in english time
