Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Wink Need help translating from English to Berlinisch German, and back, Please?

Does anyone know of a free online low german (Berlinisch) translator?
(from English to Berlinisch...Berlinisch to English)

I met a lady from Berlin, while she was here in Texas.
She now has gone back to Berlin. We would like to communicate by email, but the online German translators I've found are for other dialects of German than spoke in Berlin.

Her English is very poor...and my German(of any kind, especially Berlinisch) is "nonexistent".

It would help us both, if I could find one...Please?

Thank you...but that is one of the translators that does not translate to Berlinische (as I mentioned).

German spoken in Berlin is a different dialect.
I have tried sending her messages translated by it, and she told me, in person while she was here) that it was "very bad".

I need a Berliner to help me translate to and from Berlinische.

Thank you though...but I want the translations to be easy for us both to understand.

interesting...

perhaps things have changed, but I was taught German (vier jahren im hochschule) by a Berliner and was told that it was not a dialect rather a thing of pronunciation, similar to the way Yankees talk differently than a person from the Deep South...

Google might help finding translators. dict.cc dictionary :: Berlinisch :: German-English translation, see if this one does the trick.

Thanks, Lord of the Rings
I like that Babalon 8 program...but you have to translate one word at a time...Way too time intensive.

I need to translate full email text copied into a translator.
Like This from her:
--------------------------
Hallo Daddyseal,

wie geht es dir?
Es ist nicht böse gemeint, aber ich muss viel Zeit am PC arbeiten und schreibe deswegen nicht jeden Tag zurück. In meiner Freizeit ignoriere ich ganz gern meine Mailbox und antworte nur bei wichtigen Dingen sofort.

Es wäre übrigens wirklich nett, wenn du auf Englisch schreiben könntest. Deutsche Grammatik ist zu schwierig für die meisten Programme und er verstehe nicht viel, vom dem, was du mir sagen möchtest. Ich kann ja weiter in deutscher Sprache antworten. Was hällst du davon?

Ich bin gut in Deutschland angekommen. Ich vermisse die Sonne, aber es ist schön wieder meine Lieben um mich zu haben.

Gut, dass du mich an das Reiten erinnerst. ich möchte hier gern weiter reiten. Ich hoffe ich finde Zeit.
Bis bald.

Although a translator translates it into this...which *I* can understand.
It doesn't help me send emails to her in Berlinisch
-----------------------------------------

Hello Daddyseal,
how are you? It is not meant bad, but I must work much time on the PC and do not write back therefore not each day. In my spare time I ignore completely gladly my mailbox and answer only with important things immediately. It would be by the way really nice, if you could write on English. German grammar is too with difficulty for most programs and it understands not much, of which, which you would like to say me. I can answer further in German language. What hällst you of it? I arrived good at Germany. I miss the sun, but beautifully again my love are to be had around me. Well that you remind me of riding. I would like to ride here gladly further. I hope I find time.
Until soon.
------------------------------------
See, it is a "little off", especially near the bottom part of her message.
And apparently is much, much worse when I send her English translated to German emails...with the traslators I've found!
Maybe she speaks and writes "Middle German"??

HELP...??

The problem with online translators is almost all of them translate word for word, not the actual phrase. Keep in mind the way we word things in english is not how they may word them in european languages. Just as in same way we word english phrases differently region to region, state to state, USA v's UK or New Zealand, etc. and even differently between different social groups and people of different demographics. Also, not only different wording of phrases, but some other languages use different placement of adjectives and verbs etc. within the actual sentence.

I do not believe there is a perfect online translator. The concept is far too complex to be able to create them. Translating from or to English from french or german or russian or the nordic countries are usually the ones with the most mistakes with online translators in my experience.

At best you can hope for is at least understanding the meaning behind the sentence. And even then with the languages mentioned, some mistakes in meaning can happen as a result of the online translation.

Using a phrase book is probably the best option for obtaining more accuracy.

Yes, Lord of the Rings
I completely agree with every point you made in your terrific answer.

It does seem odd to me that there is a difference between the translators I've tried...on the very same German reply that I get from her.

The Babalon 8 has cool features, but seems to do the worse job of translating and getting her "meaning".
So, I use both BabelFish and again with SYSTRAN. Between the two, I get a pretty good idea of what she writes me.

Thanks for your help, friend
Danke für Ihre Hilfe, Freund

Another to throw on the list is http://www.stars21.com/translator/ which has a wide range of language translations. If it does not have the translation it seems to seek another site with a translation. For a couple other languages, I've found using this one seems to do better than both systran and yahoo babel fish. I am not sure about german though.
