Need a Swedish speaker to translate for me

Post by Larry »

Hello all, Is there a Swedish speaker who can translate the
following text for me into English?:

Kopia på ditt mejlsvar som skickades till annonsören Tobias

Seems off topic, but I'm responding to an ad for a chess computer
in Sweden, and the seller wants the item picked up in person. I'm
in Australia, a long trip to Sweden, so I offered extra money and
have him send the thing to me. The above text is his reply.
thanks in advance for any help.
Larry
PS, Alternately, if someone knows of a free and fast translator
service I'd appreciate it. Babel fish does'nt include Swedish.

No, but thanks for the reply anyway. I thought today's young in
Sweden studied English as a compulsory subject, but of course a
lot of the oldies would'nt know any English. Same applies to the
Germans, I think.

It looks like you got an automated reply from a Swedish site... Did you receive a copy of your message below that text?

The site probably sent back a copy of the mail you sent to Tobias, he probably wasn't involved in that mail at all from the looks of it.

I think your statement is wrong.
