[NTLK] Translations [OT] - was: Hi there, eMate 300 in Germany

[Berthe M. Willumsen]

I'd say that translation is right on - I didn't mean to say the same in English.

I guess the structure of Danish is much closer to that of English than to German.
Why it was so much harder with German in school.....

Impressive.

In case you're curious, Babel Fish didn't have a mode for translating your
Danish but Frengly thinks you said:

Close enough, but not precisely how you put it into English.

Just my [OT] 2 cents plus taxes.

 
Shalom.
