That has little to do with my language preferences, I'm afraid. English to Dutch translations are equally horrible.
Having pages auto-translated to English probably doesn't help them much in understanding the text. At best it would be really annoying to read.
Then again, English users really don't need much translation to be able to effectively use this English subforum, I think. I'm sure they'll recognize 'Nieuw topic' as 'New topic'.
For CHI this wasn't much of a problem either.
But if we're gonna do translates, I say: do it correctly.

No your English is pretty bad, maybe it's good for you age, but your age is probably very low.quote:

We'll see.
This forum is now 2 hours old, and already quite some topics. I'm curious to see if this will actually attract people who don't speak dutch at all.
