Looking for a story

[Fallout1 (imported)]

Hello all,

After rejoining (for some reason my account was either erased by mistake or something else caused my account to vanish), I finally remembered the name of the French story I've been looking for.

It's called "Jeunes Filles purifiees-part 1 French Language" and the author is Ruby.

Can one of the moderators or site admins please try to find that story and possibly translate it into English ? I can't read French and while translation software has helped a bit, I'd like to be able to read it in English without having to resort to somewhat unreliable translation software.

Thanks again to the site folks who are working to restore the Archives to their former glory.

As a general rule, the archive staff do not translate stories. In fact we often use Google or other translation systems to review materials. Your best bet is to appeal to a bi-lingual French speaker who can and will translate it (and then submit it for inclusion in the archive!).

The sad part is I know no French speaking folks. Most bi-lingual folks I know speak mostly German or Spanish.

As for the translation, I can live with it not being translated into English. I'd just be happy with one of my favorite stories from the old archives being brought back.

Alternately, you could translate it yourself. It's not as if sites like this are run by people who speak 10 languages and have time to translate anything not in English. They would have to go through the same process as yourself to make it happen. I think they have their hands full keeping the spammers from taking over.

Honestly, I find nothing wrong with Google (or any other free) online translator.

Just copy the text, paste it into the machine, and boom. Readable text.

Considering the utterly atrocious spelling and sentence structure on many of the forums I participate in, the google-translated stories from the EA are very, even pleasantly, readable.
