Have a message from a german buyer but even google translate can't help, pretty sure it's Greek:
Kalh xronia giatree! Fetos h mikrh ma8ainei na metraei!

ok, so I do not speak Greek at all, but when you google the above, it gets translated into the appropriate Greek alphabet. When you then use Google translate to translate that you get
"Happy New Year Doctor ! This year LITTLE learns to count !"
Does that make sense in your selling context ?!"Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it" Einstein 19510 -
I think Google will only translate from the Greek alphabet properly, so you could try a site that will convert from the Latin to the Greek alphabet then put that back into Google. I did try but didn't come out with a very good result, either:
"Καλη ξρονια γιατρεε! Φετοσ η μικρη μα8αινει να μετραει!" which Google translates as "Good xronia cure! THIS YEAR LITTLE ma8ainei counting!"
or Google asks if you mean "Καλη χρονια γιατρε! Φετοσ η μικρη μαθαινει να μετραει!" which translates to "Happy New Year Doctor! THIS YEAR LITTLE learns to count!" Any chance it could be spam?0 -

Yes mostly makes sense, buyer's purchase has something to do with teaching a child numbers...0
