Hi,
which language do you prefer when asking questions or making suggestions?
Robin writes excellent German, and Emux seems to understand german, but - as far as I have seen - in most cases answers in english.
I am not sure, which would be the best solution, because probably your German is much better than my English - so please just let me know.
Of course asking in german and answering in english might be a good solution.
And sorry if I have been impolite when writing my first questions in German!
Regards
Markus

Hi Markus,

Thanks for asking that!

Actually Robin knows well German.

Google Translate unfortunately several times does not bring complete the author's meaning, so we then waste time to ask / answer again what exactly meant in the reports.

But the issue is not about Robin and me!

Kurviger forum is an international area and most people usually use English for their "international" communication around the world.

That's why in forum description we ask - if you know English - please write in that language. :)
So that every user that visits the forum or search for a solution, can do it easily without translations which often modify original meanings.

Hi Markus,

Kurviger is a world-wide project and to make it easier for everyone to communicate it is preferred to write in English.

Google Groups contains a translate feature, so everyone can translate foreign languages. Best translation results are usually from English -> to other language.

I understand that many people don't feel comfortable writing English. So any other language is accepted as well :).

Cheers,
Robin
