Hi,

Sorry we don't do translations here! Another word for simply in English is just.

Ajanah, calling Alan too narrow-minded to be a moderator is what by your definition? And what does as long as English is on the way mean?

Hi Ajanah,

I deeply resent your comment about being narrow minded. I think there is enough evidence of my work on this site to indicate that there is not a sign of narrowmindedness. The reason why I said:

hi Alan,
just one question: why did you delete the translation made by the other moderator?
On the other hand, you should've made that remark to the one who asked for a french translation to "simply"...then, it would've been more appropriate to give him the translation and let him decide on the procedure by himself...
Hi Andreana,
As for using "narrow-minded", I meant not ready to accept the use of another language other than English...
Translation has never been the "end of the world" - & we all have enough teaching experience to assume that - as long as english is "on the other side", I meant "as long as the translation is to or from english"...

[Torsten]

Ajanah, the translation was removed by me because on our website we have two software tools (provided by Ectaco and Google) that translate any word or text from and to a great number of different languages.
If you read Alan's post carefully, you might understand why explaining words in English is more useful than translating.
