Translation

[zamboman]

Hi all, I'm brand new to this forum and just wondered if a filipino/filipina could help with a translation. My wife is chatting to someone on the internet and it seems to be romantic. I have the chat logs. I really hate doing this but I need to know what's going on. I asked her to stop talking to this person 3 months ago but she's at it again and it's depressing me to hell. I love my wife to bits but I need to know she's with me for the right reasons. I would be very grateful for someones's help in translating her chatlogs. Please anyone?

We've been very happily married for 8 years. I discovered these emails 3 mths ago and confronted her. She had been writing to another girl and she admitted having a bi-sexual past. My world fell apart, but we got over it and our marriage became stronger than ever. She promised not to talk to this girl again but earlier tonight I found a chat log she had been having with her - this time it's in tagalog. It might just be friendly chit chat but I need to know. Anyone speak tagalog?

Welcome, Zamboman. Short of having your "phone tapped" [which WE don't do ... I hasten to add!] it might prove rather difficult. But seriously, anyone willing to undertake the translation process, would first need to know the precise wording of the chatlogs.

Hi Zamboman like to help. I have actually found a website that you can translate from filipino to english and vice versa. Just copy the text and paste then simply press translate and a box apprears with the changed translation.

Hope everything is ok with you and your wife. If you need anymore advice please feel free to ask again.

Good idea Also to protect your privacy

If you are finding it hard to translate use this link http://www.bohol.ph/diksyunaryo.php

Eh, where are those words, yes we all (filipina) speak tagalog

[September]

Thats alright, you can type the words here, we dont know you anyway, u no worry bout your privacy

[Tawi2]

But if your nom-de-plume is Zamboman maybe your wife is from Zamboanga?She speaks Chavacano?The creole spanish of Zambo?Stick up what you want interpreting,I know a few words,I am sure between us we can come up with a decent enough interpretation of her chats

Yeah these are great links but then again, what if they are chatting using in a text messaging form? (deleting vowels in a each words, shortcut words, taglish, etc...) wouldnt be that easy IMO...

[zamboman]

Thanks and sorry for not getting back sooner. I'd rather not post the chatlog for all to see, I'll send it to some of you by pm.

Actually how do I do that?! Or can any of you supply an email for me to send it to?

Yeah, i would have to agree, that's your personal stuff and you're entitled to your own privacy

[zamboman]

Well I've tried the translator and it's not working very well, possibly due to the abbreviated writing style as pointed out by jay&zobel. So how can I get the logs to someone? I don't expect a full translation, I just need the gist of the conversation and a translation of anything that should concern me. Many thanks. Btw it's in Tagalog not Chavacano.

[bornatbirth]

post them in this thread.

when you can make more posts,so you can PM others on the forum.

look at the members who have there yahoo addy on there profile.

too ... best kept that way!

[zamboman]

My wife and I seem to have this sorted out (that's what I thought 3 months ago, but fingers crossed!). I've decided I need to stop digging into this as and just trust her to know her boundaries.

I'm disappointed she can't see my angle on this and respect my feelings though. Am I going mad or shouldn't your wife fancy other women and say fruity stuff with them on the internet? It's the Filipino sense of humour she says. I'll let it run its course and hope she gets bored (or a job) quickly.

[Tawi2]

Thats not a general pinay sense of humour,I have known one or two pinays in the past,not one of them would consider flirtatious inuendos nor sexual chat to another female whether online,landline,nor face to face

[whiteraven]

sounds a bit dodgy to me to.

[antony73]

zamboman - I really feel for you mate, there is nothing worse than suspecting unfaithfulness. I genuinely wish you can resolve this sooner rather than later.

Have you tried http://www.tagalogtranslator.nl/ It's not a sentence translator but will translate words. Using this you can maybe get a loose flavour or gist for what is being said.

I wish you well my friend

I agree with you on this one

I'm disappointed she can't see my angle on this and respect my feelings though. Am I going mad?

No, you're not going mad, it's normal to feel upset and disappointed and i hope you talk this through with your wife
so she will understand more how you feel and where you're coming from.....
