I need a translation of this:

taka bqh na u4ili6te i ne6to interesno pribrah se i se napluskah s pizzza i ta dnes mnoo me marzi ina4e 6tqh da hodia na party

If anyone can help (i doubt anyone speaks bulgarian on here, but it's worth a try) then it'd be great.

While I understand some of the words (it's using that horrible SMS-style Latin representation of Cyrillic in an odd modified form (wtf is meant by the q and 6?)) with my Russian, it's obviously heavily slang-laden and, as a whole, doesn't make enough of a sense to me to provide a proper translation.

I might know a Bulgarian person though... is this of sufficient importance for me to attempt contacting him?

Uhh...maybe. Its a bit important, I'm trying to work out where a friend is - no one's heard from her for a couple of days, and people are slightly worried.

And the numbers are apparently just that. Numbers, but for example 6 instead of the bulgarian equivalent of six.

No, you are getting that wrong.
First off, Bulgarian uses the Arabian numerals just like English does, so the bulgarian equivalent of 6 still is 6. Secondly, it's commonplace in Cyrillic-alphabet countries to substitute Cyrillic symbols with similar-looking Latin ones when Cyrillic encoding is not available, e.g. 4=Ч (roughly like the ch in 'china'). "ina4e", for instance, perfectly maps to the Russian (and most likely also Bulgarian, the language is similar enough) "иначе", "otherwise" (pronounced like ee-na-che).

Ahh, right. That makes much more sense. So the numbers in the text arent actually numbers, they're just substitutes.

edit - I wouldnt worry about this anymore, I've managed to find out the translation.

Took a whole load of effort though.

And w00t. I can understand some Bulgarian apparently. Thank God for the Slavic languages being a stones throw away from each other.
