You can also install the Google translator as a Chrome extension and switch on the translation function - this will automatically translate all the posts you read.
Very convenient!

Winterberg Sauerland
And I'm almost in the middle of both haha. I live in Haaksbergen, near Altstätte/Gronau/Münster. So Deutsch is perfectly fine for me, as long as the sentences are not extremely long and "," intensive haha.
2.5h to the northwest coast of NL and about 2.5h to Winterberg.
Been there, done that haha. -
Hi, I agree to the request if the post starts in English it should be all in English.
I hate if it changes suddenly.
I am happy to speak at least English as a German. I understand a bit Dutch, it is not so much foreign.If I need help, I use https://www.deepl.com/
It translates everything much better than Google, and it detects the most language correct.
Try it, it is free and good. https://www.deepl.com/
@Jörgen Dutch seems to be about half way between German and English......makes sense from a geographical perspective

Great how people actively contribute in sharing tools to help.
Just a statement from me to clarify on the languages. We have language specific sections for all languages. MRA will announce updates / official messages in English. All languages are however allowed in the common sections and those will mainly be Dutch & English given our user base with some active native Germans.
Personally I read / speak German fluently but simply respond in English as they read that and easier for me to type

In respect of the topic creator, at least the language used by the topic creator should be used for a reply. I find a change of language within the topic inappropriate.

@Peter-Schiefer, not only in winter
I speak German reasonably well because I live only a few km from the border, and Roermond is a well know watersports area for German boat owners. Since I also live only a few km from the Belgian border, I speak that language very well too...
It's just that in writing my English is a lot quicker than my German, so sometimes, if I need to be elaborate, I switch to English in a German topic. I think that is still better than no reply at all

I turn on Google translate when reviewing forum posts so I'm not always aware what language the original or subsequent posts are in. I only know English (and have enough trouble with that thank you) so if my replies in English annoy anyone, I apologise. Cheers!

@RetiredWingMan Yea, Google Translate works well without having to do anything once turned on. I use Microsoft Edge for most things Internet, so I hadn't considered the Google approach. Thanks again for the suggestion.
