I posted a question earlier today about trying to translate Russian words that were in English characters. Someone posted to me a website that converted it into Russian characters, and now I'm asking that someone help me convert it into proper English.

(Sorry about all the repeats, my laptop is being stupid...)

Here is the text that I need translated, in both English and Russian characters.

Moya gizn' kak ogon' esli ne sledit' to potuxnet
??? ????? ??? ????? ???? ?? ??????? ?? ????????

yeah, give points to vsc, he/she answered first.
My life is like fire: it will die out if you don't take care of it.
I know russian.

what do you want translated into Russian? I work with several people from there.
They will translate it .

Try this site.
Once there click the translator selection.

It would help if you provided a link to your original question. Call it up, and then copy the link that appears in the Address line in your browser, and paste it in.

Edit: By the way, online translation utilities such as Babelfish and freetranslation.com will *not* give you a polished translation, simply because language is such a complex thingoccasionally a translation utility will provide a contextually wrong translation for a given word. The best these utilities will give you is the gist of the original.

Example: I recently ordered a German CD from an eBay dealer in Holland. Both of his e-mails to meone thanking me for my order, the other saying he sent the CDwere in Dutch. I don't speak Dutch, but I do speak some German, and there are several cognates between Dutch, English and German, more so between Dutch and German. Between that and the Babelfish utility, I was able to gather the meaning of both messages. There was, however, one Dutch word in his latter message, "bus", that I was initially confused about, and I had to go to an online English-Dutch dictionary to discover his meaning was "mailbox".

Translation: My life is like a fire, if you don't take care of it, it will go out.

By the way, there is a misspelling in your Cyrillic version. It should be written like this: ??? ????? ??? ????? ???? ?? ??????? ?? ????????.

My life is like a fire, it will die out if not taken care of.

(life: ?????)
