Is "Xがどこに見つけられますか" an acceptable translation of "Where can I find X"?


I'm currently studying the potential form by making up sentences from several
scenarios, and am finding it rather difficult to check their correctness using
nothing but vague online translators.

Is the above translation acceptable? Here it is with some context:

[code]

    すみませんが、どの[列]{れつ}に[食]{しょく}パンが[見]{み}つけられますか？
    
[/code]

Or would it generally be better to form it in a simpler way, such as:

[code]

    すみませんが、[食]{しょく}パンはどの[列]{れつ}にありますか？
    
[/code]




The second is far better... and it's good that you don't trust the online
translators. :)

I'd recommend doing some Google searches of the verb(s) in question and kind
of copying and pasting. Other than that, it's going to be hard to know what
verbs to use when w/o immersion.
