Can you translate from English to everyday French, not college French or online free translator French?

"The forest will be filled with death tonight" This is for an suspence novel I am writing. One of my characters says this.

Update:

Thanks to all. And BTW, my novel is a rough and tumble sort of story with a peasant girl saying the phrase so "everyday" speach was what I was looking for.

    Carver, what you said does not mean anything...

    In everyday french, it'd be : "La foret sera imprégnée par la mort ce soir"

    I'm French and I can assure you that this is the best translation.

    Hi

    If it's for a novel, I assume it's not exactly "every day french" you need, but some kind of "classic french"...

    May I suggest

    "Cette nuit, la mort règnera dans la forêt" ?

    Source(s): I'm french and I've worked with USN when I was petty officer in the french Navy. congratulations for writing in french !!!

    "La forêt sera pleine de la mort ce soir."

    What do you mean by "college French"?

    And what is so wrong with this translation? How does it mean nothing?
