    Anyone Speak Korean??

    I'd be very grateful if anyone can help with this.

    A while back our company purchased a domain from the Korean (then) owner.

    It's been transferred into our companies name, my next step was to move the registrar to easydns.

    I've accepted the transfer request that I received from easydns as the admin contact, and earlier today I received this from the Korean registrar, problem is I have no idea what it means :-)

    I've ran it though babelfish, and it comes out with all kinds of crap about "sliced fish"!

    I'd be grateful if anyone can give any pointers, I've emailed them back asking if they can translate into english, but the time difference is such that it takes around a day for an email to turnaround.

    TIA,
    Paul

    Babelfish is horrible for translation. I'm part Korean, but I don't speak Korean.

    I'll give you an address via PM which you can forward the message to. In theory, it will retain the language. If so, it will be translated for you and you'll get a reply. This would be from the wife, who is Korean. (yea! I get to say, check your PM!)

    Thanks to Chicken for the kind offer. Turns out we have someone at our site who speaks Korean.

    After all that it wasn't very exciting, to paraphrase it said "we've been asked to transfer a domain from us to tucows, let us know if this isn't what you want"

    And there was me thinking they were threatening to gut me like a fish for wanting to transfer my domain

    Maybe the part about "two cows" (cha-mhin) was changed to "sliced fish" (kha-min)

    The wife is questioning your Korean timechange. She says...

    Soe Do mahli would be two cows. (I'm murdering the language by typing it in English I'm sure, but I'm doing the best I can).
