First it was "separate the word" instead of "spread the word" when it went on to say "Pastafarians believes" because the automated "translator" didn't recognize Pastafarians (pastafarianos) as a real word so it was assumed to be singular.

Check any French/English dictionary and you will see that the word "gaine" (as in "Eglise du monstre de gaine de vol", the title page for your French website) comes from the Latin for vagina and means anything from a sheath to a corset. It also means to contain and restrain (as in girdle). I doubt that's what Pastafarianism is all about!! As the word 'spaghetti' is also a legitimate French word, why not just translate it as "Eglise du monstre de spaghetti volant". That would be an accurate translation. To further correct this unwittingly (I'm sure) mysoginistic post, I have been inspired to write an "Ode to the Flying Spaghetti Monster's Mother" which I will send to you upon completion. Till then, Niddle, Noddle, Noo, RAmen. Hello Fellow/Fellah Pastafarians,

I wouldn´t translate flying Spaghetti Monster with "Fliegen-Isolationsschlauch-Monsters" That is a really weird translation.

That thing as been translated by an automatic web translator thingy. French is a tough language even for the french speaking people. I for one read the whole site in english and I understand and approve all that's been said/ done, but when I read it in french, it doesn't make any sense... so for the sake of this great site and religion (hehe), you should reconsider posting something this bad. This is by no mean a critic of the religion, it's just that it plain doesn't make sense in the french version. I strongly suggest finding a real human that speak, read and write french to translate this. Keep up the great work, Phil, from Canada About the french version… sorry, but it’s awfull…
