They should all be in English because I don't understand Welsh or Spanish (and lots of other languages) and I'm very nosey, and want to know what people are saying.

I've never seen a post in anything other than English.

ScienceTeacher · 02/04/2008 08:33

It's perfectly reasonable for posts in the Language/Biliguilism section to not be in English, or anything where foreign mummies are looking for one another.

Can't you just translate them using the hundred of online tools?

fryalot · 02/04/2008 08:35

For some it's a good way to brush up / maintain 2nd and 3rd languages. For others it's an easier way to communicate if English isn't there first language.

I think you're being tongue in cheek, but thought I'd give a straight answer anyway

Especially for you, LS - I just translated from welsh to english on one of the threads I'm on, just to prove how boring the content was .

However, they are saying some terible stuff over on the spanish thread

LarryVeestAdamAntSpawnChorus · 02/04/2008 08:51

OH God Lynette, it was a (bad) joke, I promise. They're not saying anything about you. Sorry if I worried you!
