I will ring her 2night but she says there are numerals so I think it is a re-direction. I thought she might have surfed to here. If she makes it to Bed'th we can ring from our mobiles. The object is to contact someone they are worried about.

Though, having made a few calls, you do get a womans voice sometimes telling you in French if the number is wrong...

Can you put the gist of what is said on here, I might be able to help?

It could be the French version of... I'm sorry that number has not been recognised...

?

Or... you could try and type the words into this site below. I've used it alot of times for use with some German correspondance. It's not perfect, but you get the idea - my French is better that my german.

Anyway, have a look - it might help you...

translate all sorts of languages here!

Red:

Call a University near you and ask for the Romance Language Department. Someone there will be able to translate. Take them a tape recording, or go in with the number and a few bucks to pay for the call. Call, and let the student or prof or secretary at the Unive hear the call.

poetsimmo is trying to get in touch with someone in France and the phone number gives a message in French.

She doesn't "Parlez allez" ---- well "ne plus". And her command of Lingua Mudcat is somewhat neuvou. I can help her with that at least.

Having tried the French Embassy and a few other things she was looking for suggestions. Mine was to record the message and try repeating it, doing a number/word at a time. It sounds like a "number transferred" kinda deal.

Any Francophone 'catters with suggestions. She can read her PM's.

poetsimmo will hopefully follow my trail to this thread or start her own.
