Beware of anyone sending you a file with this name to translate: it's a scam. I was in conversation with someone about translating it (FR-EN) but awaiting a 30% advance (job worth about 750€) – their suggestion.

Having been scammed several years ago, I never accept cheque payments anymore so this wouldn't have gone further, but I wanted to warn anyone out there in case they receive this.
