Chances are – if someone’s online dating profile is in English, they live in America, and they only list English in the “languages” category – sending them a message in Portuguese isn’t going to get you very far.
J got this message today:
” GOSTEI DE VC,DO DEU PERFIL PODERIAMOS NOS CONHECER MELHOR”
To which google translates into:
“LIKED THE VC’S PROFILE DEU Could weKNOW BETTER”
I know Google Translator is out there – and it’s a wonderful thing.. but if you can’t spell in your language, Google Translator isn’t going to do too much good. And what happens when you meet in person? — It’d be like that F.R.I.E.N.D.S episode.. but hopefully I get to be Phoebe and hook up with the interpreter. Haha! …Or was that Monica?
And, for those interested: J wrote back, in Portuguese, “I don’t know Portuguese, have a nice day.”
