Gracias por publicar aquí, como puede ver, la gente está interesada.

Sin embargo, use el inglés, ya que este es el idioma del foro.
Puede utilizar la traducción automática en deepl.com u otros.

yo escribo en mi idioma ya que no se otro, yo para leeros a vosotros utilizo el traductor, haced vosotros lo mismo no?

I write in my language since I don't know any other, I use the translator to read to you, do you do the same right?

edit: If everyone posted in their local language the forum would be unusable.

You can read the forum rules here.
If they are not to your liking you can suggest a change by making a thread here.
You can also start a local language thread here.

@ReciodvdPlease post in English so everyone can understand what is said on this forum. Google Translate is great. You can write in your language, translate, and post the translation to the forum.

@ReciodvdPublique en inglés para que todos puedan entender lo que se dice en este foro. Google Translate es genial. Puede escribir en su idioma, traducir y publicar la traducción en el foro.

yo hablo en mi idioma, yo me expreso en mi idioma que es como lo hago correctamente, en las traducciones se pierde el mensaje, al que le interese que lo traduzcan, yo no se ingles.

I speak in my language, I express myself in my language, which is how I do it correctly, in translations the message is lost, whoever is interested in having it translated, I don't know English

[meepmeepmayer]

@Reciodvd You can post both the original and the translation, as you did. So no meaning is lost and everyone can read it in English

Chrome traduce automaticamente

I know it seems like an arbitrary rule, but when you post in EN you expand the number of people that can read it. I don't use Chrome so don't have automatic translation. Rather than viewing it as a restriction, think about it as a way to reach a much wider audience (that includes people in the US that have stimulus money burning holes in our pockets).

I think it's important to note too, since the intent by the moderator might be lost in translation and misunderstood, that the intent of the language rule isn't intended to be culturally or nationally intolerant or to limit one's ability to express themselves in their native language.  It's simply just a rule to make it easier for everyone to engage with one another on the forums since there are users from all over the world here.

Just this thread alone has people across eight or nine different countries. S*** maybe we just need to get world leaders into riding electric unicycles and all the problems will solve themselves.

Let’s put it in perspective, the forum has run this way for years and, in all that time, nobody else has complained. 
 

So we have hundreds of users from all over the world and one person who doesn’t like the way the forum works - enough said really - or as Spock would say:” The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few”!

Hi,

This is how I do my writing for a post here on the forum, using Google Translate:

• I write my text on Google Translator in Swedish.
• Then I click for a translation into Finnish and after that into English.
• If Google Translate came to the same result in both languages, I know that the translation is quite close to the truth.
• Now I click on the two arrows above in the middle of the two frames to move the translation in english to the left.
• Then I listen to the English translation. If everything sounds good, I take a copy of it to use it on the forum.

Sometimes I also search for synonyms or try to simplify the English text.
The best result is achieved if you can speak several languages yourself. Google Translate uses English grammar as the basis for translation and does not understand cultural nuances.

I'm thinking in Swedish, speak Finnish and write in English.
