RE: Remember: You are alone

hi @hranhuk, am reaching out again on this post as I wanted your advice on something. a little light went on in my head just now when I was suggesting to someone that more Hivers whose first language is not English, should post in multiple languages using a translation service or software, in order to reach English language readers too and thereby extend their connections within the community. It struck me that as an English first language member, I should be heeding my own advice and looking to post some articles in multiple languages too in order to expand the reach of my creative works and to make new more diverse connections across the community. To this end, may I ask which programme / software/service you use to translate your posts, or do you do your own translation? And out of interest do you write in your home language first and then translate into English or vice versa? Your input and guidance would be much appreciated.

Sorry for my delay in responding.

This weekend I had a visit from my best friend and so I was kind of "off" from the hive.

Answering your question:

I see you have no problem reading and understanding me. And that's great! I've always had a bit of a fear.

I believe the biggest growth and interaction here is English. As the main language. I see many people from all over the world doing this.

I have some Brazilian friends here and so I leave the text in Portuguese too.

Now, I always write in my language. The Brazilian Portuguese language. The tip is to write the text as formally as possible, without abbreviations and mainly "slang" of places.

I use google translator myself. Today the algorithm is very intelligent to construct sentences and even understands some cases of "slang and sayings" although I don't suggest writing like that.

My writing English is not very good. In some cases when I see that the translation is not quite like that I correct it myself. But that's small cases. More than 90% I use google translate the text in Portuguese that I made following the tips I gave you!

In fact, if you're interested, you can learn the different languages of the world very well now. This is important now, because often in work and in everyday life we have to communicate with people in another language. So I personally decided to go deeper into it and study the information about it here smdvosges.com , I highly recommend it. I hope I was able to help and was helpful!
