I just ran across the above as a link to my website, but have no clue what he’s saying. (What language is that anyway?) 😕  
It’s obvious he’s discussing a player model I made for the game Unreal Tournament, but what’s he saying about it? (Good things I hope!) 😃

Seems to be saying that your program brings to Unreal Tournament the fun of Transformers. Don’t know the context.

He likes it and urges others to down load it.

“calm your madness of Transformers by downloading the program Mégatron for Unreal Tournament! Yes! Yes! At once! Quite amiability of Man Slaughter”

They sort of translate word for word, so it’s odd.  
I think they have REAL translation probrams that can run on your own computer that would do better.

But it does appear to be French

Hé well you will be able appease your frenzy of the Transform in téléchargeant model Mégatron for it for Unreal Tournament! Oui!Oui! Right away! The all gracieuseté of Man Slaughter!

Well, its been a few years since French class, but I think I can translate this a little more colloquially than Babelfish (at least parts of it anyway).

I’ve also sent an E-mail to the above addy.

To everyone one else. Thanks for the help. Good to see that my models are getting international recognition. 🙂
