Sorry, but I was unsure *who* asked the original question. And yes, I do 
understand what he is asking in general, but to me it seemed that some 
details were getting lost in Google translation. 

No, I was not trying to be funny. It was a lament that non-English speakers 
are generally forced to use English in any online group like this. Yes, I 
suppose one could say that I am "a native English speaker of sorts"; but will 
leave the snarkiness for other people. 

I, for one, would wish for more languages to be used, if it helps in 
communication, rather than to suffer through Google translator. 

Whatever you may mean by "wired": I choose to ignore, as my intention was only 
to help.
