Turkish email. Probably spam but....

I got an email from the query on my site. It's in Turkish and I cant seem to translate it in a normal translator. Do we have any Turkish speakers in the house?

Subject Line of Email:

xn--5xsp7j.net icin Yurtdisi Egitim ve Kariyer Firsatlari

Re: Turkish email. Probably spam but....

Perhaps a standard email ready "on the shelf" would be good to cover cases like this.

Something like...

Quote:
Thank you for inquiring about domain name xyz. Unfortunately, we are only able to handle enquiries in English at the moment, though we are working on other languages.

Please could you re-send your inquiry in English and we would be pleased to respond to it promptly.

Best regards, etc.

Obviously could do with a bit more polishing as it's off the top of my head, but something short and sweet like that should do the trick. After all, you're not going to be able to negotiate a high-price deal if the other party doesn't speak a word of English, and you don't speak their language either... so this is a good first-pass filter to weed out the "impossibles" and leave you with decent leads.

Thanks for the tip Edwin, but one step ahead of you. I was writing one as you posted. Yes, dealing with idns there are going to be many of these I'm sure.
