Though you should be aware that german is the closest RL language there is, for english. English abandoned most of its grammar over the past 200 years which german didnt, but they are still very close. Non germanic languages are a real problem as concepts become very difficult to translate. Languages inside the same language family usually have very similiar ideas about time, grammar, usage of tense, article, grammatical gender etc. If you were to translate that to say Mandarin (chinese is actually an umbrella term for 3 languages spoken in china not one) you would really need a looooot of time and effort getting the IDEA what you are saying translated cause word by word translations would be completly meaningless rubbish |
