Is that all the text you have? It would be useful to see more. I don't have enough to go on here.
It *is* Rumantsch - that's the Reto-Romance language of the Canton Ticino ... it's not Swiss German. But "chanauks" (not chanuaks) is an Inuit word. I think "lear" should read "blear". And this is only part of a sentence ... there is no finite verb. The typing is inaccurate and the text is incomplete ... unless you find a native Rumantsch speaker, you have no chance of translating this.

Well, just so you know, if you learn Swiss German, you can only use that in Switzerland. If you learn German German then I think you'll still be able to understand Swiss German. I've lived in Switzerland for about a year and a half. For me both are blah blah blah because I don't understand anything they are saying. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

That is really tough. As Swiss German is an oral language it is sometimes even a challenge to understand texts which were written by native speakers.
It is almost impossible to say what your text could mean.
On the first sight it doesn't look like Swiss German at all but with a lot of imagination I can see some phonetic resemblance with Swiss German words.
It could mean anything like:
SG: Hallo da bin ich ... chan ..... .....
Engl: "Hello here I am .... can .... .... "
Even if my interpretation is correct it is still impossible to say whether the meaning is bad or not.

That doesn't look like Swiss German to me, and everyone who speaks it has gone to bed.
Edit: using the last guy's suggestion, the "chanuaks senu" bit could possibly be "chan (kann) wachsene" can grow up. Any actual SG speakers agree?

I speak German and also know of a lot of german dialects. I tried to decipher this one, but can't. Are you sure it's swiss german?
