What does the French word Au chante mean?
Co-worker asked me. BabelFish says it means "with sings." Clearly I'm missing context here. Can any French speakers help? The sooner the better.

Do you mean enchanté which is commonly said when being introduced to someone?
That means enchanted or "pleased to meet you"

Google translate comes up with 'to sing' but I imagine your co-worker has heard 'enchanté'

Yep, that's it. I did not know spelling. Thanks for the citation.
Au chante would literally mean "with sings" as babelfish correctly pointed out. It really doesn't mean anything on it's own.
Enchanté is translated "pleased/delighted to meet you" and comes from "enchanted". It's usually said when people are introduced or make acquaintance. Take not that's it's mostly used in polite speaking by gentlemen and ladies usually of the same social standing. It's not appropiate to be used by people of lower social standing when meeting someone more important.

The word you are looking for is : enchanté. It is the equivalent of the English nice to meet you. It is a formal way to greet someone you meet for the first time.
