It's ok, I was just curious that's all. If you need my help e-mail me, as long as you don't ask me the whole text.
Non-ProZ.com Jul 3, 2003:
Hi Saraj, Sorry for troubling you with this question. The job is not done by me but by a French/English translator. I was only hoping to get some replies to check the results which I will have to edit, re-write and adapt.
Said Kaljanac a.k.a. SARAJ Jul 3, 2003:
Why do you accept a job in French-English if it's not your pair?
Non-ProZ.com Jul 3, 2003:
sorry! I didn't think of the short job option.
Andreina Baiano Jul 3, 2003:
I am afraid we will have to squash further questions...
writeaway Jul 3, 2003:
shouldn't you send this as a short job?

I assume that's the part you're having difficulty with (it's completely superfluous to specify "written" messages in English, at least in the context of IT, where smoke signals are rarely used these days).

neutral David Sirett : This is not about IT, it is about mobile/cell phones. The "messages écrits" are text messages in UK English, using SMS, not e-mail.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks everyone, especially Jane for your support and David for pointing out that these are 'text messages'. I have already a translation of these strap lines but still -a bit of brainstorming can sometimes be very helpful. I really like William's version as it is short and snappy."
