AW: [ICANN-EU] OT (german): translation software

[SchultzKom@t-online.de (Christian Schultz Kommunalberatung)]

Dear Patrick, dear Jeff, dear Jefsey,

the translation of babelfish is an excellent example of the entanglement
caused by every electronic translation which is more than "hello, how are
you?". I tried it with the world famous systran system which is very fast
but at the same time inaccurate.
I wished like some others to be able to write in this ML too in my
motherlanguage, because not everyone has a grandmother who taught him
english. And it is obviously that you can express more thoughts in your own
language. But don´t care about.

Best regards

Christian Schultz

Jefsey, Patrick and all,

  Jefsey, as I was raised in a German community in Texas where
mostly German was spoken and my grandmother only spoke
german while I was growing up, I understand German pretty well...

  However as English it the internationally recognized preferred language,

I see no reason to converse in German.
