Unscramble please
« on: June 20, 2010, 07:27:25 AM »

Даже знаю, что вы находились на улице Пушкинской напротив дворца студентов юридической академии. Хорошо выглядите.

Can anyone unscramble this and translate into English?

I have tried various encoding schemes on my browser but can't get the cyrillic letters to display.

Thanks

Not fluent here, but roughly....

"I even know (almost like, "in my opinion") you looked great when you were standing on Pushklin Street
opposite the student palace of academic law ..."

Tweaks welcome.

no no, the main point was that they KNOW that he/she/they were at pushkin street. Period. Only last sentence is that "you look good". Its cyrillic KOI8-R, for future reference

Thank you, Aloe....  many times the nuances (that I miss) completely cross me up.

I have no idea how you two could discern what that was. Looked like a blow out of fonts to me  :)

I used another one in the past, but at this time found this link:
Cyrillic Translator

All you have to to is copy and paste.
If you are adventurous enough to try an online translator, this is what Google Translate makes of it:
Quote
Even I know that you were on the street in front of the Pushkin Palace student legal academy. Looks good.

To translate correct, rearrange the first three words.
No it is not a dog. Its really how I look.  ;)

Thanks to all who responded.  The various translations offered were all similar and they made sense to me given what I knew about the picture I sent and the person who wrote the message to me.

Always strange how the messages to me show up with the garbage symbols, yet others seem to not have that problem.

And the available 'encoding' on my browser has many Cyrillic options, so how would one know to chose KOI8-R to try to unscramble?

Special thanks to Shadow.  The Cyrillic Translator you posted worked first time when I tried it, if you leave it set to the 'autodetect' option and click the OK on that line.

Trial & Error ;). Try them all, one at a time, until you find one that works :D.

Alternatively, you could have your browser show the source code of the illegible page and check its HEAD section for some statement like:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

that'd tell you what specific encoding it uses - which is probably what the 'autodetect' option of the Cyrillic Translator does.
