Thank you to everyone personally for his or her responses to my questions. I was searching for varied viewpoints on foreign language in a story and it astonished me at the number of replies.
Simon Doom-I agree that for most viewers here English is their first language and we can fumble through the Germanic and romantics if sprinkled lightly in a story.
Thank You for the recommendation of “Dreyer’s English” in a different thread.
Keith D- “The Nude On The Balcony,” the concept of foreign dialogue being used at the onset and fading as the story progressed worked well.
Hector Bidon- Thank you for directing me to thread about handling numerous foreign languages in a story.
LoquiSordidaAdMe- “One Night In Dubai,” WOW! Well done. The idea where the characters are not fluent in each other’s native language and they had spoke in English instead. This will work well in my story, thank you.
Hypoxia- “The Botanists,” I appreciated that you included technical (?) details in your story, it is a life of learning.
Kola Kiss-
Bramble Thorn- You are correct, Google Translate is far from reliable in either direction.
Ishtat- Thank you for linking me to your poetry.
Thank you to everyone who I didn’t name personally,
