Sounds like a great idea to me. Perfect for those couple-y trips and I'm sure it will be popular.

A is definitely the best version, the others have a few rather comical mistranslations(eg 'motorised red insect!?) and do not sound 'natural' English. They are also overdoing the flowery language a little bit. Romance is one thing, cheesiness is another. A is written by someone with a much better command of English. Also, don't forget that English speakers call your city Rome.

And this is the 'introduction' not the 'traduction'.

Italian student needing some help

Hello everyone,

Iâm an italian student (in marketing), and Iâm trying to build my own touristic company in Roma.

And I need some help and suggestions from english speaking people (canadians, british, americans, autraliansâ¦)

In this company, I want to offer people coming in Roma a romantic experience in a personalized theatre.

But my english is very bad, and I asked to friends of mine to traduct my webpage in english.

I received four proposals, and I donât know wich of them is the most professional, the better for american and british people.

Here is the link of theses traductions :

http://ezaesqf4798.site.voila.fr/thetest.htm

When there is a â?â, thatâs because the paragraph is not yet traducted.

Could you please say me wich of these is better, for me ?

Could you please say me, for each of these, if the traduction is very good, good, poor, bad, or very bad ?

If you want, you can send me an email to : (removed by moderator) to give me your indications and suggestions.

The traduction need to be as âpoeticâ as it was when I wrote it in italian. The traduction need to be âmagicâ for my customers. People need to want to buy such an experience, reading the webpage.

I really need your help ! Itâs very very important for me !

I need to succeed in creating my own job !

Thanks :-)
