I hope this makes more sense in German!

[one-kuna]

may be in German it does, but there is a French as well

It does make a bit more sense in the original, from what I and my high school German lessons can make of it -- but it looks like it was translated by machine, and not a good one. Babelfish cranks out a slightly clearer one, although it chokes on 'Spaßbieter'.

'Spaßbieter' seems to be in the sense of one who places a bid 'playfully' -- i.e., without any intent to make good on it. Personally, I would've gone with 'Betrugbieter' -- fraud-bidder.

So I'd render the first sentence in English as "Unfortunately, we must make it clear that fake bidders who do not pay us for their orders cost us a lot of money." I'm not 100% clear on the next two sentences, but they basically threaten legal action -- "switching on" their lawyer and referring to unnamed court cases where 'play-bidders' were made to pay damages, I think. Then a comment about having to raise their handling fee (S&H, I suppose) to 15%, and lastly a fairly boilerplate thanks.

I have sometimes wondered what the Babelfish'd French I've had to use (as I don't speak it) has come across with the seller. Since the orders went smoothly enough, apparently okay. I always include the original English, and a note in both languages that it was machine-translated so they don't think I'm an illiterate... just a non-Francophone barbarian.

"Frivolous bidders" would be better. Otherwise, you gave a very good translation (condensed) of the German original.

Hello ikaros,



Welcome to the Russian forum.

I'm curious about your attractive avatar.

When I first looked at it, I wondered what "One S" was , then realized that these are the cardinal points of the compass.

But the "O" was puzzling. I'm now thinking it might be French - Nord, Sud, Est & Ouest.

Can you tell us a bit about it? It looks like gold, possibly for French achievements in flight, around the time of WWI, possibly sometime before or afterward. I'm guessing that it is probably rare.

Thanks!

Hello ikaros,

Welcome to the Russian forum.

Thanks! I haven't poked in here before since Russian coins aren't a main point of my collection, but I couldn't resist this topic.

All the Russian issues I have are Soviet-era (mostly 1960s-1980s, with a couple from the '40s) and post-Soviet issues. Nothin' fancy.

It is unfortunately not a coin I own. You are correct, it's a French piece, celebrating the 'century of aviation'. It was issued in 2000, and part of a series the French mint did on the 20th Century (it's a gorgeous run of coins--I need to get my hands on all of them eventually as they fit my 'science' subcollection).

The gold was denominated at 100Fr; there's also a silver 10Fr issue that's more towards my wallet's tastes. I chose it because of the Icarus motif (though obviously I use a more direct transliteration of the original Greek Ικαρως for my ID). Both gold and silver were low mintage -- 1000 and 10000 respectively. I'm keeping an eye on eBay for a silver one.

And it's been 30 years since I took German! My old teacher would be pleased, I'm sure. Scratch that, he'd be stunned.

French transalation is also "misérable"
