Interesting to see how most users that have added themselves here are either in pockets in Europe or the US/Canada, but only 3 outside these areas (1 Aussie, 1 South Africa and 1 Chilean). Considering China has so many internet users, we have none playing along..odd.
There are chines volunteers on this just not on the map yet.
How is your chines: http://www.equn.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=15 ;)
Hi Wolter,
Your post documents one of the reasons why I´m proud to be an EUropean: a 99,56% (circa and average) Sensitivity for those subtle cultural, in particular lingual distinctions. Therefore I follow your example, adding some links (online dictionaries and translation tools):

yourdictionary.com http://www.yourdictionary.com/
Topics: Language Dictionaries, Multi-lingual Dictionaries, Translation, Language Identifiers, Word of the Day, etc.

WordReference.com http://www.wordreference.com/

"We have attempted to place as many online dictionaries at your disposal as possible."

Eurodicautom http://europa.eu.int/eurodicautom/login.jsp

Hinweis: Enthält nahezu ausschließlich Fachbegriffe, reagiert oft sehr langsam.

Hi Sharqua,
Thanks for your reply and your kind words.
That´s just European reality. [edit] removed [/edit] Or better the necessity to overcome language barriers. I think EU Administrations maintain one of the largest translation services worldwide. :wink:

All the best,
Peter

This is too cool to languish at the bottom of the message list. Oh yeah, I'm the one sharing Utah with the landing zone!
