Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

To want = vouloir
I would want = je voudrais

"I would like" is another idiomatic translation for this, but "je voudrais" is still the phrase you're looking for

Like, in a contexts where you're for example talking to someone who's giving you a service (bartender, waitress), "je voudrais un café" has the connotation of "i would like a cup of coffee"

Btw, it's in the conditionnel (or futur du passé) bc of the 'would'

[civic violet]

So "je voudrais" means both "i would want" and "i would like", it just depends on the situation
