More Board Language?

Hi,
I had only one question and that it is possible to integrate multiple languages into the board with?

Please forgive, but I'm e.g. from Germany and my English is not so good, I would be a great help to read the board in German.

This is not a criticism, rather perhaps a talking away in the future, many boards are offering several.
I would love to collaborate namely more here, but not enough to understand completely to enter.
As mentioned this is not a criticism, the board is great, but I wish you more languages, especially German ^ ^
Currently, I use to help the translator, who is just horrible: (

Can the effecting?

Greeting

Welcome to the forum.

If you're referring to the navigation (menus, options, and other things related to getting around the site), then that's something I think we can accommodate in the future.

If you're referring to the actual forum content (posts written by members), that's impossible without using some type of automated translation service, and the results would be no better than what you're currently getting from your translator.

Hopefully, as you read more English, your comprehension will improve and you won't have to rely on the translator as much :)

I‘m not sure but isn’t there a basic feature that allows those with difficulties in reading other languages featured on Google some type of translator from (English to German) or have I, gotten this confused with something else?

I feel the board/forum should have the means of universal language switching for individuals as STAR WARS is an international phenomenon not just aimed at English speaking counties but all counties worldwide.

Only the originals from the 70mm six-track Dolby stereo Dolby format 42 will sound better on DVD/Bluray.

I've heard that neither one is particularly accurate.

automatic translations are, by definition, imperfect, and by experience, absolutely terrible and utterly useless. it's almost as they were intended to confuse and prevent comprehension...

  

 

... And they had 'The Empire Strikes Back', the fifth of the four Star Wars films. He is fucking with us numerically, isn't he! "Children, count up to ten." "Four, five, six, one, two, three, ten". No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"

...and apparently, not even man made translations are safe from stupidity, mainly due to the lack of any kind of quality check:
