I have wondered for a long while now whether we have some members who do not speak English?

If we do, and it is stopping you from posting, please feel free to use an internet translator like Babelfish

http://uk.babelfish.yahoo.com/

We are not so worried here about poor English (exept for Brambleten - who likes to pick up on my poor spelling ;) ) and we'd love to hear from you and indeed see your work.

Of course, if you don't speak English, you probably haven't a clue what I'm saying! :-/

So, I'll use it myself to get my point across.....



Ik heb voor een lang tijdje me nu afgevraagd of wij sommige leden hebben die het geen Engels spreken? Als wij, en het houdt u van het posten tegen, alstublieft vrij voelen om een Internet vertaler zoals Babelfish te gebruiken

Je me suis demandé pendant un long moment maintenant si nous avons quelques membres qui ne parlent pas anglais ? Si nous faisons, et il vous arrête de la signalisation, sentez-vous svp libre pour utiliser un traducteur d'Internet comme Babelfish

Ich habe mich während langen wann jetzt gewundert, ob wir einige Mitglieder haben, die nicht Englisch sprechen? Wenn wir tun und sie Sie von der Aufgabe stoppt, fühlen Sie bitte sich frei, einen Internet-Übersetzer wie Babelfish zu benutzen

¿Ahora me he preguntado por un rato largo si tenemos algunos miembros que no hablen inglés? Si lo hacemos, y le está parando de la fijación, sienta por favor libre de utilizar un traductor del Internet como Babelfish

Ora mi sono domandato per un istante lungo se abbiamo alcuni membri che non parlano inglese? Se facciamo e sta arrestandolo dall'invio, ritenga prego libero di utilizzare un traduttore del Internet come Babelfish

That was only twice Digits. Ricky seems to get at everyone else's grammar and spelling every now and again.

(i wont bother pointing out the mistake in the line i quoted ;) )

What? The use of a hyphen in place of a comma, semi-colon or even a colon. The use of hyphens in the middle of sentences is deplorable at best and horribly over-used at worst.

Still, good idea Digits. Assuming we don't get some silly literal translations out of it.
Dave out.

Bedankt Digits, dit is iets zeer attent van jou. Maar verschillende van onze leden weten wel wat van de Engelse taal af. Dus meestal lukt het ons wel om iets te plaatsen op deze site. Veel van de internet browsers hebben echter ook een taal ondersteunings functies, wat het posten op sites eenvoudiger maakt.

That's cool if they do mate, but there may be a few without access to that - just a thought.

I applaud the idea and think it could lead to some very interesting posts. I tried running your message through the automatic translator a few times to see the sort of thing we can expect:



I have wondered for a long while now whether we have some members who do not speak English? If we do, and it is stopping you from posting, please feel free to use an internet translator like Babelfish

English to Chinese, Chinese to English:

I want to know the Daoist priest now a while we whether to have some members who does not speak English? If we, and it stops you from the contribution, please use a Internet translator who looks like Babelfish

English to Chinese, Chinese to English:

Whether I do want to know now the Daoist priest does not speak English a while we to have some members? If we and it stop you from the contribution, please use looks like a Babelfish Internet translation



etc, etc. ;)

We're English, so don't need to change our language, simply speak louder and slower.

Ich kann versuchen etwas Deutsch zu sprechen. Leider ist es schon eine Weile seit ich in Deutschland gewohnt habe... Wait, what am I doing? I'm an American. Does saying "ya'll" instead of "you all" count as a language? I do have some southern accent tendencies...

No S*** I loathe that! I see that in France and I just disown them and remember that I came 5 years short of becoming a French national and just pretend that I am.

the arrogance of the Anglo saxon (or in the case of the american: Anglo, celtic, germanic, italian, Dutch, Saxon) is stunning! :blink:
