Discussion about Webteases in foreign languages

[lockmeinchastity]

Did the site owners switch to german only folk?

There has been a severe flood of non english teases, and the translations (frankly) suck. what is going on?

I think all the teases should be required to have the translation a part of the tease, before being published...

[edit by dark] I changed the topic name because "What's going on???" is not very descreptive

Spoken like a true American.

(As an American myself, I feel safe in saying that.)

The translations are tough, and I think those among us who don't speak German certainly lose some of the allure and power of the words being spoken. But, in fairness, those who are German among us are probably getting a nice rush from 'hearing' somebody order them around in their native language.

Let's try to be sensitive to the fact that there are other languages around. And further, well over one thousand teases on this site are written in English. We can survive, right?

The pictures look really good on them too - I wish they were also posted in english - I bet they are hot teases.

If I'm not mistaken a large portion of this site's users and staff are from Germany and other Germanic-language countries. I was surprised to see German teases posted, but I think it's a good thing.

That said, I do think some way of filtering teases by language is a good idea. Even just using tags could work.

[vergo]

I'm German so I obviously don't mind some German teases, much on the contrary. Nevertheless I'd imagine that if it continues like that it could become a bit annoying for people who don't know German, so some way of filtering would make for a nice addition. Unless of course it turns out 90% of users are German anyway, which is the impression you can sometimes get (I know that isn't really the case).

So, write some English language teases. Nobody is stopping you.

This is a European based web site (hosted in Germany, I think), and while I am very thankful it is primarily an English language site, I have no problem content from other language groups. The site is FREE, and it depends on its members to create its content. ALL of its members should have that opportunity.

I do agree that it would be nice if some tags were posted with the teases, which would allow some filtering. I do love some of the photos, though.

And, if you read a previous post by Seraph0x, you would see that he is working on a language filter.

Now I think that the fact that someone takes the initiative to write teases in another language is great, and if the americans of the site doesn't like it simply because they don't understand it, I can only encurage you to look beyond your own borders and learn another language.

I come from Denmark (That little country just over germany, part of scandinavia for those who thinks it's the capitol of sweden ) and here we learn danish, english and german in the schools, and i liked to read the teases and refreshen my german.

Well sorry to those my ramblings offended, just had to get that out when i saw the title and content of this post.

[aaaanisback]

I like the german teases too, just as I would enjoy some dutch teases.
maybe it would be a good idee to make a language section. But in all fairness most teases should ofcourse be english.

Geeze folks, relax. as far as I can see, only 1 guy has complained about this.

The rest of us Americans seem to think that it's a good thing that teases are showing up in many languages. So please stop judging us and tossing out stuff like that due to what 1 person says, especially when other Americans have come out defending these new teases right in this thread.

But as far as looking beyond our own boarders and learning another language though.. well, when somebody earlier called something a typical American response, this comment could be construed as a "typical" European response.

Many Americans know a second language. It just happens that that second language is Spanish for a vast majority of bilingual Americans. That doesn't exactly help them when something is in German, French, Italian, Russian, Greek, or whatever.

So please, just chill with the potshots, believe it or not, most of us are on your side.

I woud like to say THANK YOU for you understanding and encouragement

[ts]

I sure hope and believe the site will allow teases in all languages and fetishes - I dont like or understand them all but I don't expect too...

There are teases I really like, teases with a fetish I don't quite get and maybe (hopefully) there will be teases in a language I don't understand - In my opinion it is better to really please 10% of the people, than to try to please everybody...

And about the demographics for the site (Is 50% of the users german?) - I am almost sure there is a webstatistic thing that could tell more about that - Admins? Could you tell us something about that?

Finally I want to send a "Hej" to Haldirkd - I thought I was the only danish pervert on here

At last, I've found a reason to brush up on my foreign languages!...thanks for the incentive.

[someone43]

Teases in other languages are great, but I wish there were a PHP translation plug-in; kind of like what Google has when you translate a page that came up in the search options.

[lockmeinchastity]

I do speak German, French, Italian, and Swahili fluently.

And the way the other teases that are none american come across, they are lacking in a lot of the smoothness that english gives.

Its like going through a session of Controlled Masturbation using sand paper as lubricant.

It really takes away from the whole concept.

Im not insulting anyone on it, but come on, lets be a open to the fact that English does give you the ability to flow with words and meaning smoother and easier then most languages.

1. Topic moved.

2. I understand that some people are not amused about the fact that they don't understand the German teases, but it's simple: You don't have to read it. There are a lot of English Webteases and everybody here can write the tease in his favorite language at any time.

I don't think it's a global law that everybody has to understand English. Of course it's useful in the internet to use one main language. And the reason why we are using english it's because it's one of the most simple languages. But maybe some authors want to use the abilities of other languages or maybe their English is not the best.

My personal opinion is: To complain about is just unmannered. I am happy about every tease on this site.
