It would be of great avail, if users would have more information about the way in which translations are composed.
For instance when I want to have the translation of "geneesmiddel" (= medicine, medicament) form Dutch into Serbian, I get "lek" or "medicina", but when I put in "medicijn", I get invariably as well "lek" as "droga". It seems that the word "medicijn" (medicine) is translated into all languages through English and not directly. In short: It would be of utmost importance to know whether for a certain word the translation has been created through English or through any other intermediate language or directly. If all translations go through English and you know English well, you better always use English as the source language! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "General" group.
