Is the line 'I'm a nice guy' an official translation? As I'd want to translate 'Je suis un chic type' as 'I'm a fashionable type/sort/guy'
The translation is definitely not official--it's mostly Google Translate with a few modifications to better reflect my interpretation of the intended meaning. I was initially thrown off by 'chic' as well but I've checked with other sources and 'chic type' is clearly an idiom for 'nice guy'. --Sara 12:24, 1 September 2011 (EDT)
Two notes:
- Should that colon be there? As far as I can tell, he's saying that he's the one who is a superstar in the US. It just seems more logical without it, I guess? If that's the case, the translation would also need updating
- In French, you put a space before the colon.
