Muchas gracias para el envio del pequeno pedazo de tejido, es muy hermoso.
Es el primer pedazo que viene de Espana.
Es un excelente idea que de haber hecho el voto en espanol o en ingles.
Ustedes son unos amores. Buen coraje en su espera tambien.

Original sentence:

Merci beaucoup pour l'envoi du petit morceau de tissu ! il est super mignon ! Il s'agit du premier morceau en provenance d'Espagne !!! C'est une excellente idée que d'avoir fait le voeux en Espagnol et en Anglais. Vous êtes des amours ! Bon courage dans votre attente également !"

Hi, I hope this helps (I don´t speak much French, so I´m basically trusting your translation):

Muchas gracias por el envío del tejido, es muy hermoso y el primero que viene de España.
Es un excelente idea la de haber hecho el voto en español y en inglés.
Son unos amores, mucho coraje en su espera también.

I´ve merged some of the sentences and removed the "little piece" part away, as it looks better without it to me (and whoever sent it knows the size of what they´ve sent, anyway).

Best,

It should read:
"Muchas gracias por el pequeño pedazo de tejido, es muy hermoso.
Es el primer pedazo que viene de España.
Es una idea excelente que de haber hecho el voto en español o en inglés.
Ustedes son unos amores. Buen coraje en su espera también".
N.B.: "idea" is feminine.
I trust I've got this right.
If you want to know how to type Spanish vowels and n's with a tilde, this is how I do it, using the Alt key + a series of numbers on the number keypad (with the lock on):
á = Alt + 160
é = Alt + 130
í = Alt + 161
ó = Alt + 162
ú = Alt + 163
Ñ = Alt + 165
¡ = Alt + 173
¿ = Alt + 168
Best wishes,
Jenny

La versión de Leo, es clara, y SE ENTIENDE.

¿Para qué país es la traducción?

No me gusta mucho el uso del término "pedazo."

Installation instructions:

and then, chose the Polish_International keyboard - the setting of Polish keybard is the same as that of the standard US keyboard.
Then to get accents like á é í do the following:
1. press rightALt and / (slash)
2. release
3. press a e i etc.

Have fun.

to get a circumflex press rightAlt and ' (single quote)

Muchas gracias to all Feb 6, 2008

Hello

As you may have noted it, I do not speak Spanish. That's why I haven't been able to add accent, where they were needed.... I knew the shortcut etc, but their places in the sentences were missing.

Anyway, many thanks. I will simply do a copied/pasted into my blog....

Best regards
Olivier
