English is also generally taught in Asia. In China, many kids start to learn English even from the age of 3. :joy:

I agree @ndalby. If majority of our experienced community members tend to skip non english posts then we should either have a built-in translator or encourage people to repost in english after online translation. So that more people can help and respond to the questions.

Also agree with @fhassm that different languages here will lead to confusion and the onus of translation lies with the person putting out a post.

Maybe english is the language we may want to keep for now and when the time is right @AnkerOfficial will have more language specific sections in this community. :slight_smile:

As the majority here are from US we should use English.
I was asking if there are more German members here.

I met only two who are “true and eager forumners”.

So there is no need to open a German section. :grin:

That’s good news.

So really, unless your older than @fhassm people would have been taught English in schools.

Now I’m not saying they’re as proficient as us native speakers, but still they have a grasp of it.

Obviously, only us Brits speak the official “queen’s English” :grin::crazy_face::mask::mask::mask::mask:

I am the eldest by age but not of wisdom of course! :joy:
Not speaking “Queen’s English”, “Kraut English” only!

I speak three languages, including Spanish, I think it’s not bad that forums are created in that language, would be an opportunity for others to learn a little that language, “siempre y cuando las palabras no ofendan a los demás miembros”

Hi people,
IÂŽm from Spain, at the moment, I hope to be CatalĂĄn of the Republic of Catalonia one day :sweat_smile:
Seriosly, I think It is good can write in different languages. I have many friends with no idea of english. They never read or write in english. And Is this good for Anker? I think not. This kind of people never go to read reviews at english web pages.

Why not to open differents sections with other languages?. People from Spain with no english acknowledge can directly go to this section and read some reviews or information besides Amazon review.

That combination had Google translate confused for a second 
with German losing out on the auto detection in favour of Portuguese content :laughing:

Bonus bucks for anyone that gets it :tongue:

Is it Klingon? Nope, just checked.

Google just keeps thinking it’s English or maybe German.

Samsung’s own translator (s translate) thinks it’s also English.

I think the confusion is down to HIM atnrh the beginning. However if.you just so the last 2 words, it still hasn’t a clue.
