    im not talking about perfect writing skills, but what languages are you able to read, as in "understand" what the people posting would be writing about on a forum

    to specify, chinese counts as ether: Mandarin, Wu, Ke/Hakka, Min, Yue/Kantonese, Xiang, Gan, Jin, Pinghua, or Hui

    to me English is sometimes easier to understand than German. Also explaining schtuff in English is simpler then German as long as we are speaking about IT related topics.

    Other than my native language (Norwegian), I can read English, German (slightly) and few words in Russian.
    I have go agree with w00kie about German being hard to understand. I will never ever understand why the verb is at the END of a sentence.

    Nicht alle Verben stehen am Ende des Satzes. :D auxiliary verb
    Ich kann das aber auch nicht so Recht erklären. :D verbedy verb
    Also Erklären lässt sich das schon. :D auxiliary verb

    I think I'm totally wrong :headshot:

    Ingles y un poquito de Espanol.

    Seriously though, I don't really like the concentration on language that a multilingual forum brings. It's not that I'm a bigot, I just think that this crowd could easily descend in being grammar nazis. I'm already watching myself catch errors in English that I normally would disregard (Englisch?!).

    But if there's a big enough group that can read German, but not English, then maybe it's not a terrible idea.

    I think, everybody who cannot read English, cannot join this poll ;) . A supply in different languages will improve the number of players. You must think about all the potential players around the world, who couldn't join the mod because of a language barriere. The community can help out, if they stick and work together.

    That's a good point. The poll is a bit of a waste.

    I guess this just says that we have a good supply of potential German mods.

    Du fragst mich zu Post Bereinigung, und ich werde.

    Bitte macht es fur mich, weil meine Deutsch ist sehr furchtbar.


    You pretty mch have the words right, just in the wrong context. Just as I am unsure about the context furchtbar can be used in, if it is "terrible-awful" or "terrible-ghoulish"
