Dear All,
I am a German native speaker and I've noticed some false German translations on your website. How can these false translations be changed into correct ones?
example:
1) languages they teach = "Sprachen die sie unterrichten" or "Sprachen die er/sie unterrichtet", BUT NOT: "Sprachen die Sie unterrichten"
2) languages they learn = "Sprachen die sie lernen" or "Sprachen die er/sie lernt", BUT NOT: "Sprachen die Sie lernen"
The capital "Sie" in the false German version means exactly the opposite of what the English sentences mean, i.e. the capitalized "Sie" means somehting like "you" (in a formal context). So it means something like "languages YOU learn" and "languages YOU teach", which is not what the original English sentences intend to mean, and consequently you have problems in finding the "right" language partner!
Maybe this mistake can be changed somehow???
Best regards, Linugani
