Just wait and see. It could be a real game changer.quote:Op zaterdag 2 januari 2016 13:05 schreef onlogisch het volgende:

It's hard to predict trends like that.

Dutch - english translations are horrible. I probably wouldn't want to read it.quote:

I know, but I can't think of a quicker "hotfix" till an English GUI is available.quote:

Useful, the one word I always get wrong as well.quote:
These days my OU tutor simply writes "wrong again Dutch guy" next to it. Luckily I study Biology and not English. 
On quite a different note...can the emoticons become English as well?

Yeah yeah, by now we know that you prefer English over Dutch. But for the people who don't understand Dutch at all, the translator plugin will be very useful.quote:

Dunno if any of them are still around though.
I don't think there's someone stupid enough to do so. If someone is, he/she shouldn't be allowed on the internet anywayquote:

That has little to do with my language preferences, I'm afraid. English to Dutch translations are equally horrible.quote:

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 translations, I say: do it correctly.
