<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1800946, member: 112"]I think it is true of any language that unless you are a native speaker of a given language that you are going to make mistakes when you use it, either written or spoken. Also there are many terms/words/phrases that just do not translate from one language to another. So sometimes in order to get your meaning across accurately you might have to use several sentences when in your native language you could do it in a word or two. That is just the nature of language, pretty much all of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>So gx you are right about one thing, you've got your work cut out for you <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As far as suggestions on how to proceed, I'd say about the only way to do it and do it right would be to work with native speakers of the various languages.
