Why don't you just write it in graphic program, or take a screenshot of the intact text, and post it here?

What a clever lass you are!

Attached is what I ran through systran with weird results, if its totally whacked I'll scan in a photocopy of the card that was sent.

Are you looking for someone to translate it or you're just posting it for the heck of it? I think it says:

Sister

I gladly present to you tons of belongings of cosmetics discs of all fashionable groups of youth magazine.(?)

If only you didn't drag all of mine! Happy birthday!

Mind, I´m translating roughly. Unless you already knew what they meant.

Thanks, I had translated it with systran and got a similar impression. It was just a random birthday card my mother had gotten while travelling and sent to her friend for a laugh. It wasn't until she got back, after giving away the card that she wondered what might actually be written on it.

It seems to be a birthday card specifically for a girl to give to her sister, wishing them lots of gifts in the form of clothes and makeup etc, so she'll stop borrowing theirs...

Thanks again.

Oh yeah. I'm under the impression that Russian girls are obsessed with make-ups. Now I know girls around the world are always armed with lip gloss before stepping out, I know I am... but two years in Russia and I can't help noticing that most of them do cake them on. My friend Anna is guilty of this. I was chuckling away as I was translating.
