Could you please check my spanish. We had to make up a story. Thanks!

Traigo malas noticias. Señor Micheal Baxter está muerto. Nació el veinte y cinco de Mayo de mil novecientos setenta y siete en Vancouver. Tenía pelo moreno y ojos cafés. La cara era ovalado y Señor Baxter era muy bajo. Él no era gordo pero era muy grueso. Tambien, tenía un bigote. Su profesión era ejecutivo. La semana pasada en un partido en un yate, él se emborrachó y se cayó el barco en el Océano Atlántico. Las personas en el barco trataron de salvarlo, pero él hundía rápidamente. Al día siguiente, los rescatadores encontraron su cuerpo y lo trajo al depósito de cadáveres. Ayer, las personas dijeron que ellos veían a su fantasma que obsesiona su oficina anterior. Se murió el veinte y uno de octubre de dos mil y cinco. Tenía veinte y nueve años.

T3C . Could you open a translation/teaching thread ????

Birgerhar

I'm sorry but that did not really help. Translators on the internet really don't know the language and all it's rules and such. I would really appreciate if someone would read it and tell me if it makes sense in Spanish or not. Thanks anyways though.

Neurotiko

i fixed some things, but someone else who speaks spanish should double check it...

Do you still need help with this??.
Neurotiko did an excellent job but it needed a few modifications:

Traigo malas noticias. El señor Micheal Baxter está muerto. Nació el veinticinco de Mayo de mil novecientos setenta y siete en Vancouver. Tenía el pelo oscuro y los ojos color café. Su cara era ovalada y era muy bajo de estatura. Él no era gordo pero era de cuerpo grande. El era un ejecutivo.

La semana pasada, en una fiesta de yate, él se emborrachó y se cayó del barco al Océano Atlántico. Las personas en el barco trataron de ayudarlo, pero él se hundió rápidamente. Al día siguiente, los rescatistas encontraron su cuerpo y lo llevaron a la morgue.

Ayer, sus compañeros de trabajo dijeron que vieron al fantasma del Sr. Baxter rondando por la oficina. El señor Michael Baxter murió el veintiuno de Octubre del dos mil cinco. Tenía veintinueve años cuando se murió.

Morgue is morgue in spanish, where people take the dead bodies. I took the spanish paragraph Neurotiko did and yours so it could be more accurate.

But for the next time, it would be easier if you post the text in english because we our languages changes the positions of the words and its more difficult to understand. If you still have chance then post the english paragraph and i could make you a better translation.

Im from Venezuela (spanish speaker) and im very good understanding english and doing translations, my problem with the language is when i try to express myself in english (i still have problems with the verbs and some words positions).

Birgerhar

Yeah, well I dont need it anymore but thanks alot!

I just went to freetranslation.com and they said morgue was that. so i was like ok...
