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.

they're just not translating directly

"si je peux" <=> "if I'm able to"
"si tu veux" <=> "if you want"

[tawdry marsh]

Oh so it’s more “if I can”? (If I find the time and it works out with everything etc)

[ionic flume]

translations often are not direct to sound more natural in the target language even though in this case the change could be seen as unnecessary

[ionic flume]

yeah that's the direct translation

[tawdry marsh]

Well, for what it’s worth, I would have really appreciated the actually proper translation from them — or at least an explanation of it in brackets or sth

French is confusing enough for a beginner as it is!

if it's from a beginner resource then sure you could expect a more direct translation, but just keep in mind you'll encounter a lot of translations where the meaning changes slightly to better fit the language. In case of doubt, feel free to ask like you just did
