Hello, guys! I have a little favour to ask of you, could you please tell me if the following phrases are correct? I don't speak French, but I need those lines for my novel, so I used Google translator and reversed the translation as well (meaning I copied the French translation, switched the languages -- from French to English, and pasted the text there to see if it corresponds in English with what I meant to translate).
So, these are the phrases, translated to what Google thought was right. xD
"Je m'ennuie. Quand verrons-nous arriver, Guillaume?" - I am bored. When will we arrive, William?
"Très prochainement, ma chère." - Very soon, my dear.
"Bernadette chèrie, pourriez-vous s'il vous plaît aller plus loin? Vous êtes froissant mon manteau." - Bernadette dear, could you move away a little? You are crumpling my coat.
"Oh! Ma très chère est bouleversé! Excusez-moi. Je vais raconter notre femme de chambre pour la nettoyer quand nous arrivons à Basençon." - Oh, my dearest is upset! Excuse me. I will put our maid to clean it when we arrive in Basençon. (which is not the correct name of the city, I know)
"Pardonnez-moi, mademoiselle, que vous vouliez dire Besançon?" - Pardon me, madame, did you mean to say Besançon?
"Oui, oui, bien sûr. Quelle erreur! Je suis un Parisien, je ne suis pas très familier avec la Franche-Comté." - Yes, yes, of course! What a mistake! I am a Parisian, I am not very familiar with Franche-Comté.
"Pas de problème du tout. Alors, êtes-vous deux va Besançon? Moi aussi. - No problem at all. So, are you two going to Besançon? Me too.
"Oh, quelle coincidence! Excusez-moi, monsieur; il est un peu trop chaud ici. Guillaume, je pense que j'ai besoin d'une bouffée d'air frais. Pourrions-nous aller à l'autre compartiment?" - Oh, what a coincidence! Excuse me, mister; it is a little too warm in here. William, I think I need a breath of fresh air. Could we go to another compartment?
Many thanks!
Need help with French (don't know if those phrases are correct)
