The problem with this is that it is almost impossible to asci-write this,
given the major difference in pronouncing french and english. There is a
way. I used to be pretty good at phonetic writing. Does anybody know of a
phonetic font. I will include the phonetics in the list. 

I've tried the translations on Babelfish. They are adequate in the sense
that they will help you get the message across, yet linguistically, it's
pure horror...But speaking as someone who professionally has already had a
lot to do with machine translation, for a free service, it's not too bad...
