|  "Someone who speaks french...help me please?"
, posted Tue 27 Apr 02:11
I'm writing to a French girl for her birthday, can you translate this into francais pour moi, sil vous plait?
"Happy Birthday, Sandrine! You shouldn't worry, age is but a part of you, it does not define you as a whole."
Also, the correct spelling of mon petit chou would be appreciated (this is "my little sweet" or something to that effect, right?"
Also, if anyone here speaks Italian, I have more I'd like translated...
Thanks in advance!
C'MON SUCKA!

- "Joyeux Anniversaire, Sandrine ! Tu ne devrais pas t'inquiéter, ton âge est une partie de toi, mais il ne te définit pas complètement."
the part "ton âge est une partie de toi" (= age is but a part of you) sounds kinda weird in French, but it's the correct translation.
Need confirmation or correction from the other French people ... Kikkoken, where are you ?

One possible translation is:
"Joyeux anniversaire, Sandrine! Ne t'en fais pas, l'âge n'est qu'un détail, il ne définit pas une personnalité."
"mon petit chou", spelling and interpretation both correct.

Sorry, I gave my translation without noticing Burning Kyo had offered one already. I had the same problem as Burning Kyo evokes there, so I thought the meaning was more on the line of "age in general is only a detail" rather than "a part of you", which does sound awkward in French.
Thanks, guys! Again, it doesn't have to be a direct translation. Just something along the same lines, basically just saying that age isn't everything. If "age in general is only a detail" sonds more proper in french, by all means!
