dialect translation...

[mowgli]

i read in yesterdays paper that a man has been employed to translate geordie into english.. as part of his job at a large company, he has to translate such things as cv's & job application forms into english...

just how hard is it to translate 'done bugger all leek'???

discuss & also put up dialect words you need translating.




ps. my missus once yelled at a call centre person 'where the hell are you from, i can't understand you' and the reply was 'newcastle'

What's with the jawdee love in from you lately? lol

I find it funny as hell when people type in a dialect. Great amusement,

i can't believe that someone would actually fill in a form in 'geordie' when it is simply the queens english, but in a slightly different accent, it should still be written the same......

i personally hate the joxt, scots txt speak, a is not the same as i......

That translator is crap. Wrong in many ways.

I can translate for you instead. lol

'Tis ok, I have collegues from the north east.

So the Northumbrian Association can't actually get a translator sorted? lol does anyone know what some of the words/sayings mean?
