Help I need Language!

Help! I Can't Language Good!

Do you need some help with another language?
Do you know how to read / write a language that isn't modern English, and want to help your fellow anon?
If so, this is the place for you.

How this works:
  • You don't need to be anon when you are offering language aid.
     
  • When offering language aid, post a comment saying what language you will helping out with
    • Put the language you want to help out in in the subject line
       
  • Only one language per thread please. "I can help out with French and Vietnamese," for example is wrong. French and Vietnamese should go into two separate comments.
     
  • If you are requesting spelling, semantic or grammar aid in another language you must remain Anonymous.
     
  • You may post a comment requesting language aid, providing you do it in anon mode and there isn't already a thread going on for that language.
     
  • If there is already an aid thread for your desired language going, don't start a new comment asking for help unless you posted to that existing thread, and haven't received a response in 7 days
     
  • Please stick to the topic at hand (language aide). This isn't the place for chit chat.
     
  • If you have had experience with a particularly good online language resource that actually works than feel free to link it here as a reply to the first comment.
    • In the subject line, state what language it is and try to describe what the resource does.
    • Links to resources go in the comment area.
     
  • No pimped out fonts or embedded videos are allowed. They will be deleted.
     
  • Just a note. If you do have phrases in other languages in your fills, it's only polite to include a translation in English at the bottom of your fill somewhere.

Mmmh, let's see.

You can use the french for "Thank God" = "Dieu merci!"

Or "Quel soulagement!" = "What a relief!"
or in this exact situation, he could say "Aaah, ça fait du bien" (litteraly "Aaah, it feels good")

I don't know if it's what you want, tell me if there's any problem. :)

LOL, it's me again. I guess I just really love writing France that much. ||orz

Would you translate this for me?

"I am a puppeteer. I do not like this, having to manipulate, but that is the role given to me; to control people like you."

"I'll answer anything--under the condition that I speak in the language I am using right now. Is that fine, Mattie?"

"W-well, we have no other choice, isn't it...?" (Canada trying to speak in France's kind of French--maybe something with him stumbling over his words.)

...Are the sentences too complicated? ||OTL

"I am a puppeteer. I do not like this, having to manipulate, but that is the role given to me; to control people like you." 
Je suis un marionnettiste, en vérité je n'aime pas cela, de devoir manipuler, mais c'est le rôle qui m'a été donné; contrôler des gens comme toi."

  "I'll answer anything--under the condition that I speak in the language I am using right now. Is that fine, Mattie?" 
"Je répondrai à toutes tes questions--à une condition, que je le fasse dans la langue que je parle en ce moment même. Pas d'objection, Mattie?"

"W-well, we have no other choice, isn't it...?"
"Well- I mean, d-d'accord, je... on n'a pas le choix, n'est-ce pas?"
