Someone overestimated my multilingual abilities!

I got email from someone with the subject line, "Love your fanfiction!" but everything else was written in Chinese except for the words "Amanuensis" and "fanfiction" and the line "From Zhengzhou, China". Sorta nervous to reply to it in case it triggers spam, but if it's legit, thank you!

That's odd. Worth sending through an online translator?

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmaybe. I suppose those things can handle Chinese...

Google Translate is most definitely your friend.

Hey, you! *glomps*

'allo 'allo 'allo! Long time no type! Dipped a toe into the Sherlock fandom yet?

I LOVE SHERLOCK. I've enjoyed reading fanfic, too, especially the stuff set right after season two. OH TEH ANGST.

babelfish(sp?) is your friend. except, of course, if you're publishing a paper or anything. ;) I get a lot of ... russian comments, and I'm always paranoid that they're really insulting me, until I translate them. (they never are!) :D

I get weird video spam to my journal that I know is spam!

[x-reggg.livejournal.com]

i don't mind helping you translate it if you're okay with that :)

Aw, thank you! Actually, I did try Google Translate and it gave me decent results. And it was a legit email, it seems!
