I was wondering if anyone speaking Greek would be able to identify the dialect in some short sentences, and maybe translate them for me?
I know the language is Greek, and probably close to the area of Macedonia in origin, but I've been unable to find a translator on the net that even correctly identifies the language for me. I've been given Finnish, French, Swedish, even Tongan when I asked the program to detect the language, but I know that it definitely comes from somewhere in Greece. If you think you might be able to help, please send me a PM so we can proceed. Thank you.

Does Google have a translator for Greek? I haven't looked, but that would be the first place I would go because they can translate most things, it seems.

Thanks Holly, but the Google translator was the first place I tried.
As I mentioned above, I do know for sure that the language comes from Greece, but the Google translator is unable to translate it for me. I even asked the program to detect the language, and it told me the printed text is lots of different languages ...... Finnish, French, Swedish, even Tongan. but I know that it's definitely Greek. I looked up free translation programs and tried several of them, but zilch. I have to assume it's a local dialect.

I wanted to let you know that I now have have my answer.
Google has been unable to translate the text for me because it's not 'normal' Greek. Rather, it's a local dialect or slang called greeklish which is a combination of Greek and English letters. It was initially started as a way of writing very quickly, and is now a common way of communicating for those in that area. No wonder I couldn't translate the text.
