Hi Neil,
it maybe like what Robert could be thinking, is she translating it first in China and sending it to you? Is it QQ that is doing the translation, or another program? One thing i do sometimes if the English makes no sense, is to get the girl i'm Chatting to, to send it to me in Chinese script, then using Mdbg to translate it myself by copying and pasting the text. This normally works. I know this sounds a bit of a long winded way of doing things, but if you have Mdbg open at the same time as QQ you will be surprised at how quick it can be done with a bit of practice. :icon_biggrin:
Well all the best. Andy
Oh, and i do find by keeping the sentences short, it does give a more accurate translation.
