I need a bit of help, this is probably going to sound dumb, but a lot of art that belongs to me and my friends are being used without our permission but the people using it don't speak any english.

 

I need some help putting a message in french asking them to please remove the images.

    If no one speaks french here, google translate is getting pretty dang good. I just tested a couple sentences into spanish and it was on point. FOr example:

     

     

    EDIT:

     

    English: hello. I have noticed that much of the art you are using belongs to me and my friends, and is being used without my permission. If you could take that art down, I would be grateful.


    French: Bonjour. Je l'ai remarqué qu'une grande partie de l'art que vous utilisez appartient à moi et mes amis, et est utilisé sans ma permission. Si vous pouviez prendre que l'art vers le bas, je vous serais reconnaissant.

     

    Though, I may have written it subconsciously in a manner that would be easier to translate into Spanish... So, use at your discretion.

    Thank you.

    I'm French, but it's rusty. :p However the paragraph above is pretty darn good and makes complete sense, if that helps.

    I don't speak French, but my grandma used to speak in French to me just to impress me, and there's a bunch of similar things to my language. That seems right to me.

    To me, Portuguese sounds like a drunk french man trying to speak Spanish, with or without rocks in his mouth. Ha. I am clearly biased though.

    ew portunhol.

     

    I'm not a native speaker, but I speak a little bit of French, and the sentence above sounds understandable but the last sentence doesn't make any sense. I'd put it as:

     

    Ça va? Je l'ai remarqué qu'une bonne partie de l'art que vous utilisez appartient à mes amis et moi, et est utilisé sans notre permission. Si vous pouviez arrêtez d'utiliser tout l'art, je serais reconnaissant.

    Oh portuñol... usually when it's spoken by Brazilians, it's reeeally bad :p

     

    Also, "rsrsrs" only old people use that lmao

    I don't think it's a good idea to start an email like this with' Ça va'. That's too personal/not formal and I don't think it's needed to ask people who steal your art if they're doing good haha :p But you're right about the last sentence, 'prendre l'art vers le bas' sounds weird to me too :p (but it's arrêter I think, not with a 'z')

    (French is my second language)

    But then you're telling them to stop using art lol

    Try:
    Ça va? Je remarquai que beaucoup de l'art que vous utilisez appartient à moi et mes amis , et est utilisé sans notre autorisation . Si vous pouviez cesser d'utiliser tout de notre art , je serais reconnaissant.

    PM where they are doing it online and PM where you have the original pieces hosted. Or just whois the website and contact their webhost.

     

     

     

    Vous utilisez œuvres d'art volées . Retirez-le de votre site web.

     

    You are using stolen works of art. Remove them from your website.
