<gajus> Hey! I need some help. I realize this is off-topic to the intent of this community, but I would really appreciate you helping out a stranger.
Long story short, I will be having a call with my girlfriend's Taiwanese parents in about 10 hours. We planned to do this in person at a later time, but COVID turned things upside down.
I don't speak (much) Mandarin and I need help translating a very short text, the contents of which is below. The context should be easy to understand. :slightly_smiling_face:
> I miss you. I would like to be in Taiwan now. I have so many good memories from spending time with you.
> I miss your daughter. You have raised a very good daughter. She is very smart, beautiful and carrying. I cannot wait to be with her again.
> I love your daughter very much. I would like to spend my life with her. I will always honor, respect and cherish your daughter.
> It would mean a lot for me to have your blessing in marrying your daughter.
I did the first go with Google Translate, though if experience taught me anything, it is typically not very accurate.
> 我想你。 我想现在在台湾。 与您共度时光给我留下了很多美好的回忆。
> 我想念你的女儿。 你养了一个非常好的女儿。 她很聪明，漂亮，随身携带。 我等不及要再和她在一起。
> 我非常爱你的女儿。 我想和她共度一生。 我将永远尊重，尊重和珍惜您的女儿。
I intentionally kept sentence structure as simple as possible to avoid any miscommunication.

<gajus> Thank you. Will cross-post.
<atsdtw> it is recommended to keep the post in #rand0m only since this channel is only for specific topics
<gajus> No problem. :slightly_smiling_face:
