New Site Feature - Languages

[davidw]

I've just installed language packs for the site.

The choices (so far) are:

Hebrew
Greek
German
English
Spanish
Italian
Dutch
Swedish

You can find the language chooser in the bottom of the site near the style chooser. If you see anything out of place let me know - I know there is an issue in the UserControl Panel.

What about ASL? *grin*

[too his glory]

That is a good one.Use it all the time but never though of it as an another language.Good point.LOL.......:D

[Ainuhina]

just trieing out the German version :D :thumbsup

[davidw]

I removed Hebrew and Greek (I may put the Hebrew back on but the Greek messed the English up - and possibly others).

[schaaaf82]

everything seems to be ok with the german one :D

[pphalan]

everything seems to be ok with the german one :D

You mean dueche sprechen, I think....:D

I fell in love with the German people when I was stationed in Berlin, it was a divided city then...:D

[pphalan]

One of the things I want to do before I die is see Berlin without a wall....as a young man I knew that wall would fall....happened sooner than I ever expected...

[Ainuhina]

:thumbsup only thing is that some of the functions still have English text - but I guess that's cause they were added lateron and thus are not part of the language pack....

know that from programming my own forum *sigh* have to translate a lot to make it work in German without having English words displayed :)

I fell in love with the German people when I was stationed in Berlin, it was a divided city then...:DWas that before or after they errected the wall? ;)

[pphalan]

I think I'll try the language thing just for kicks.. not that I would understand any of it.. :D

[too his glory]

that seems to be long time ago. the wall came down in 1989.
you really should come to berlin. it's a multicultural, very modern city today.

:rofl 1976 was not that long ago to me or 1989 :rotfl

[davidw]

Paul... my wife tells me I'm older than dirt - I've not talked too much about you... :P




hehe j/k

[schaaaf82]

;)

ok. i even wasn't born in 1976. and in 1989 i was 7. so for me that's a long time. more than 2/3 of my life.

how long have you been in berlin?

[davidw]

I was 2 in '76

[beetlejuice]

Man you are young. I had been graduated out of high school for a whole year in '76.

[too his glory]

Ok you all I was 35 in 1976.Many of you are younger than my grand sons.
Small world.We are all children in Gods eyes.

I have had a total time in Germany of 7 years....in Berlin I spent 18 months...

I fell in love with your people there in 1976....Take it for what its worth, I think your people are precious...:))

With my very life I will defend thee, young man, my experience says you are worth it. ;)


I am an idiot, remember that English language humor does not translate well to German or visa versa.

For God's sake an Englishman made an innocent choice of words, I had a complaint in my e-mail becuase in American English it had profane conotations.

[They]

yup, I was 2 in '76 as well... seems like a lifetime ago. ;)

[Ainuhina]

I was -10 years back then *lol*

[They]

lol ani... it's good to have such a broad range of ages around here. One never knows where the wisdom will come from - be it those who witnessed the fall of Khan's kingdom or those trying to figure out how anyone did math without a calculator.... :D

[beetlejuice]

or how about making a phone call by sticking your finger into a round circle full of holes and spinning it around?

[davidw]

I can do math in my head without a calculator, thank you very much. I also remember rotary phones as well... :P

[bruce]

I remember when gas was 17 cents a gallon and phone numbers where only 6 digits like HE-5479. In 76 i went to daytona for the firecracker 400 race..lol we didnt know what a calculator was when we went to school.

[too his glory]

Or when you stood on a chair. Stood on tippee toes and reached for the ear pice.Then pulled down the pice you talked in to.My first phone no. was 663.
When you called some one you had to go through an operator.Every one know her and she listened to a lot of people,boy what she know.Before that we had a handle we had to turn.Remember when you had to listen and count them before you picked up.

[Ainuhina]

you can do it without a calculator :shock:

we had to do it without in the first 6 years of school...but from then on we only did it with a calculator :)

we still have only 6 digits in our telephone numbers in Austria...at least when you call someone from the same town :) but I never use the normal telephone - only my mobile :D

[too his glory]

Yes I can remember the phone numbers,First you counted the rings.then we had a number(663) much later we had a EX ----.the one we have now we have had for ever( it feels like it --- --- ---- )

They had gas wars all the time.They gave away things when you got so much gas.Remember when you got dishes,glasses etc in landry soap or or oats.

I think it would be nice if we had a post called (Remember yesterday) or something like that.It would be very interesting.

[beetlejuice]

That's a great idea.

That had to have been my predecessor.. I don't recall giving any of that stuff away. :D

[too his glory]

Must have been.Thous were the days you got good extras.

I know there is some one who remembers more.

[beetlejuice]

I remember the gas wars. It's just too bad they all get along with each other now.

[They]

no doubt...

I remember when the first Ford came off the assembly line. Okay, not really - but I do have a book that commemorates the first 75 years of GM
