Everything is translated, help!

Hey. You just proved my point here. You seem to be defending something here but I was not complaining. There is nothing to defend. So you see. Maybe you did not mean it but the translation makes it look like it to me. We are in a “civilized discussion” business here. It’s not about the tools capabilities but about the outcome.

So I was merely helping to raise the very deep issue, that is not technical at all. It’s a question worth opening without a possible solution.

I believe that if I am trying and spend energy into understanding others it is better than if I am not. So you could be lazy and write Finnish, I can be lazy and answer Czech. Maybe we can try. But I have a feeling that there is something to learn from the history, that it may not end up as great as it seems. Communication is hard even if we speak the same language. Spending less energy might not help. Short term—no doubt. Long term? That´s where I wonder.

And for your thought that I need only to focus on the content without thinking about your culture? Just no. What you write is not about the content itself but a lot about your context. Including your culture and language and its options.
