(Please note - this post is not directed solely at you, Solowolf).

I ran your post though Babelfish and it didn't make a lot of sense so I ran it by a friend who knows French and it was a little clearer (but what's up with "truck"?).

greeting truck(camion) - I do not think that your post is not rude in the English forum I can use the translator and so I can sense your freedom to say what you said.
This forum has several sections for seperate languages and this is the English forum. Yes, we can use translators but they always don't do the job or can they might not get the true message across (i.e. truck / camion?).

We all can't learn several languages, I do know some Spanish but not a lot, but I do know if I felt I could contribute to a discussion in the Spanish subforum, I'd try to post in Spanish (I'd probabaly butcher the language, too). I'll even use a service like Babelfish if I'm not sure as opposed to posting in English and expecting everyone else to translate on their own (or post in both languages?). I've noticed (from experience with several international forums and emailing wiht people in other countries) that most errors will be verb conjugation (like "I is thinked") or word order (Red house is OK in English but in Spanish it is house red (casa roja)). Even with these mistakes, readers will be able to get the point of the message.

So please, post in English here so all of the memebrs of this section can read and contribnute if needed. Language barriers can be a pain (wouldn't it be nice if we had a real Babel fish or universal translators?) and I wouldn't be posting this if there wasn't seperate forums for different languages but this one was created for people to post in English.
