Question translation problem

If any body speaks French I'd like to know the meaning of " salle de jeux" where you go to play games: you pay money to play inserting coins in machines. I can't find it in any translating program! Thank you

It means arcade or a game room.

Yes, I'd go for arcade, but I'd probably say games room rather than game room - ?

Thank you. Can I ask you directly questions of the kind: how do you say this in English? each time I have a time constraint, i mean I'm preparing my lessons at the last moment

Yes, please do! Lots of people who contribute to the forums come into the site regularly, so you should get an answer from someone fairly quickly.

And I thought it was only me who prepared lessons at the last minute ....
