Lost in Translation
I am very thankful for the success of this blog. On any given day I can have viewers from about 33 different countries around the globe, reading my thoughts and watching my videos. Through the power of the internet I am constantly connected to my global audience and through the use of web page translators, we bridge the gap between oceans, continents and language. However, there is a caveat; I don’t speak 33 different languages. So, unfortunately, when I receive comments from readers that are not in English, if I cannot get a decent translation of those comments through the internet, I cannot understand or respond to them and so I am forced to turn down the comments when I moderate them. I feel bad about this, but I have set a rule for myself that I will not allow spam messages or questionable content to play a role in my blog, and if I get a comment I don’t understand, I treat it as such. So, please, if you are one of my many beloved global readers, and you want to leave me a comment, please try to translate it into English before you post it. Even the broken English of an internet translator is better than nothing, and if I can understand even a little of the comment, I will be happy to post it and respond to it! Thanks for all your cooperation and being so patient with my shortcomings- I would be nothing without my readers!
