Re: Don't Eat The Snow in Hawaii

Hello, As a french myself i share Vanity conclusion about "La Bulle". Should be a mix between an error and a plain translation without contexting it ... How odd anyway :| . Yes, Seal in French could be translated as a seal ("sceau") such as these used to close a letter in an very old fashioned way.....
