How do I Respond to ebay customer request in a foreign language?

[hotrodvideo]

Just received a request to respond from ebay as on of my international customers has a problem . Problem is its a half page of text written in I'm guessing German . Ive managed to open a link which takes me to another foreign page with links.I'm reluctant to click on as it my send the wrong message to ebay. Tried a translate app but just come out in gobblede **bleep**. Why cant ebay send it in English as the sale originated here?

Try using Chrome to log into ebay.de (the German site) and it will pop up with a little window asking if you want the page translated. If it doesn't pop up, with chrome you can just right -click and select translate this page.

I'm happy to translate it if you need a human translator - just message me.

About 15 years ago I had occasion to write a letter to a tourism-related business in Iceland.

So I kept the letter relatively short, clear and simple, ran it through Babelfish, and emailed it off.

Next day they replied in fully literate English, explaining that they all spoke it there; and suggesting that our potential business relationship was unlikely to prosper if I addressed future letters to "Dear Werewolves".

Ja, ganz fließend. Ich erinnere mich noch an die erste Geschichte, die mir meine Mutter vorgelesen hat. „Der Froschkönig“ hieß es, aus einem aufwendigen Ausgabe der „Kinder- und Hausmärchen“ der Brüder Grimm mit Schwarz-Weiß-Abbildungen.
