Spanish translation please

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

Can I please ask one of our Spanish-speaking PTers to translate this for me:

________________________________

Your payment is still not in my bank account. Please ask your bank to trace the transfer, and also give me the TT number so I can trace it from this side.

Thank You

(I sold one of my MB pens to a spanish bidder on eBay, and he has sent proof of payment, but two weeks later the money is still not in my account! It is proving VERY difficult to resolve as his English is bad and my Spanish is ZERO!!!

Have you tried an online translator such as the one at http://babelfish.altavista.com ??

This is what I got when running your text through that translator:

Su pago todavía no está en mi cuenta bancaria. Pida por favor que su banco remonte la transferencia, y también déme el número del TT así que puedo remontarlo de este lado.

Gracias

Now I don't know if that's correct but its a start!

If you go and paste their Spanish translation and translate it to English, this is what you get..

"Its payment still is not in my banking account. Request please that its bank overcomes the transference, and also déme the number of the TT so I can overcome it of this side. Thanks"

Those translators aren't always the most reliable. Hopefully someone who speaks Spanish can help. I took 3 years of Spanish but all I can tell you is that your jeans are blue or your cat is black.

Of course they aren't always reliable but at least it gives the other person a vague idea of what you were trying to say, you know? I know people who use translators such as that one to communicate with people they've sold stuff too over eBay before, and it works fine.

I personally wouldn't usea translater..it looks unprofessional translated to the point where you almost can't understand it. I know there are people who speak spanish here though...

Thanks guys. I have seen how weird some of the online translator results are, so I prefer not to use them unless absolutely a last resort!

Micki kindly sent me a translation, which I have sent to my buyer - hopefully I can sort this out now!!
