only one language for the forum
-
I've wanted to write it for a long time, I'm doing it now... I notice that many people write in English, some in German, some perhaps in Dutch, however... if you go and translate a page where there are answers in English, some answers in German, of the answers in any other language you don't understand anything of what you are reading it would not be the case to adopt a single language for the Forum, now all the other forums do it I don't understand why not MRA
@Aiello-antonino got your point and it's valid - luckily, I can read and speak all three languages
-
@Con-Hennekens if you think that my compatriots wouldn't understand much (are you calling us stupid perhaps?) do you think that by reading a page, where there are messages in German and others in English, they can understand more?
@Aiello-antonino, Ho ho... I am not calling anything of the sort. Is this your thanks for my attempt of helping you? In my personal experience from many holidays to your beautiful Italy, not many people speak English very well. That has NOTHING to do with stupid. You are making false accusations...
I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

@Con-Hennekens Thanks for the help, I know very well that there are translation tools, the fact is that, Safari for example, which has an integrated translator, is unable to translate 2 different languages ​​on the same page, which is why I wrote this post of mine, on we agree with the fact that in Italy many do not speak English, but this also happens in France and other countries, the new generation will certainly change things... I hope!

@Aiello-antonino, Certainly, I did not intend to pinpoint my wordings solely to Italy at all. In fact, my adage is, "If we introduced English as a second language in all countries, we would understand each other much better in one generation."
No hard feelings, okay?I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

Wij leren in België 4 basistalen op school tegen dat we 18 jaar oud zijn. Ik heb nog Italiaans bijgestudeerd. We moeten het voor de Engelstaligen ook niet te gemakkelijk maken en zeker de Amerikanen niet.
Taal is niet alleen taal maar ook cultuur en verrijkend.
Er zijn genoeg applicaties zoals het Duiste DEEPL en SayHi die snel en efficiënt een vertaling geven.Laat ieder zijn ding doen in de taal die hij wil en veel respect voor de Nederlander(s) die MyRoute hebben uit de grond gestampt. Het Nederlands is ook hun moedertaal.
We learn 4 basic languages at school in Belgium by the time we are 18. I have also studied Italian in addition. We shouldn't make it too easy for English speakers either, and certainly not Americans.
Language is not only language but also culture and enriching.
There are plenty of applications like the very good German DEEPL and SayHi that provide quick and efficient translation.Let everyone do their thing in the language they want and much respect to the Dutchman(s) who got MyRoute out of the ground. Dutch is also their mother tongue.

@AWDC-LAO Did you perhaps feel involved? you are showing the lack of respect by replying in a different language than that of the post... I have not belittled any language! so I'd say you made an unnecessary comment
-
I think the fairest and most logical way would be to stick with the language the thread was started in.
That means it is responsibility of each person responding to adhere to that rule, i.e. its a polite request, but to make it mandatory would be a little draconian.

This was proposed a long time ago and not only once. But a lot of people don´t care.

@Bouke-Ent, ik ben er niet voor om alles 2 talig te doen. Iedereen kan makkelijk zelf een translator plugin installeren, lijkt me. Het is alleen een kwestie van fatsoen om vragen te stellen in een taal die veel gebruikers bezigen. Als ik een vraag stel in Swahili krijg ik waarschijnlijk niet veel respons. Het is dus ook in het belang van de vragensteller zelf.
I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

I do understand your remarks. but as this item is in english i stay in it. let say question is in german... then i would answer in german and maybe extra original text in dutch. let say i would never then answer in english.

Ik deel uw mening niet, maar ieder heeft zijn gelijk.
I do not share your opinion, but each has his right.
Non condivido la sua opinione, ma ognuno ha il suo diritto.

@Peter-Schiefer, there are no supervisers.
It would be really neat, and a nice gimmick for a software house like MRA, to have a forum AI plugin that translates on the fly, so that everyone can read and write in their own language. I believe that the current state of Deepl and ChatGPT are more than excellent for this task.
