Titolo: Problem of translation

      Hello,
  I'm a French student and I want to translate this sentence in
Italian:
   " Attention! This site is exclusively in French! "
Could anybody help me?
Thanks a lot!

" Attenzione! Questo sito e' solamente in francese!
Ma naturalmente cio` implica che quel sito non e` *solamente* in francese,
visto che quella frase e` in italiano... :-)
ciao, .mau.
seguesu it.fan.dewdney, ovviamente :-)

Could anybody help me?
"Attenzione! Sono uno sciovinista autarchico!"

 >   " Attention! This site is exclusively in French! "
Well ... if you put a notice like that (in English) or "Attenzione : questo
sito e' esclusivamente in francese" (in Italian) o whatever else in whatever
other language ... than what you say is no longer true :-)
You know Richard's antinomy, or all this sort of things ("the number of the
class of all classes ..."), or Russell's barber "who shaves everybody who does
not shave by himself : who shaves the barber ?"
But perhaps (assuming that a literary quote in a foreign language does not
violate the self-reference) this would be more appropriate :
"Lasciate ogni speranza o voi ch'entrate"

    " Attention! This site is exclusively in French! "
Attenzione. Sito esclusivamente in francese.
(paradosso di Al-Kashi)

P.S. Don't forget the sentence in parentheses I added to yours.

I think you don`t need to write; people will see it`s in French.
Fry!

     Hello!
  I sent my question for 6 other languages:
Portuguese and Norwegian: no answer :(
Japanese, Dutch and Swedish: just an insipid answer...
Italian: funny answers! you're great! ;-)
So, thanks a lot for your help!
PS: *asturias* wrote: "Sono uno sciovinista autarchico"...
What does it mean!?
(I really know NOTHING about Italian!)
Sincèrement, Al-Kashi.

 "Attenzione! Sono uno sciovinista autarchico!"
He's joking...
"Attenzione! Questo sito e' esclusivamente in francese!"

That was another joke. It means "Je suis un chauvin autarcique!"
While we're on the subject, can I suggest you alter the English
slightly?
It would sound better if you put "Sorry, this site is only available in
French".
The English love an apology.

All hope abandon, ye who [ENTER] here!

The English love an apology.
   an apology for what? :) I'm French, so my site speak French!
I just want to inform non-French-speaking surfers of the language used
on my site. And a survey has shown that more than 80% of surfers are
English, then German, Japanese, French, Spanish, Swedish, Italian,
Portuguese, Dutch and lastly Norwegian (that's all for the Top10!)
  However, I agree to examine your suggestion... ;)

Yes, OK, what I meant was that the English love an apology even if there's
nothing to apologise for.
The definition of an Englishman is someone who apologises when you bump into
him.
"Attention", on the other hand, sounds unpleasantly military to the English
ear (like "garde-à-vous!").

I was fired from McDonald's for short attention-span.

visto che quella frase e` in italiano... :-)
Attention, ceci n’est pas un site.
Saluti,

 Italian: funny answers! you're great! ;-)
Of course we are! :-))
If you are looking for as many translations as possible of that sentence, I
can tell you the Esperanto one: "Atentu! C^i tiu sajto estas nur en la franca".
(C^ should be a C with a ^ over it, but you can write it as "c^", or "cx" too).
G^is la revido el "Esperantujo"!
(Goodbye from "Esperanto-land"!)
