FETMOD-KF I think...
one of the big terms of this forum is to use English language. There is a full German version of the site for people in Germany and German speakers, and also spin-off forums in other languages. But for this site, English is the default language.
If someone is messaging you and you do not understand the language, there is always going to be communication issues. I think...

Erebus To the OP I have a rather different view on this, if you see something you like in another site member or get a message from a person where English isn’t their primary language, I will have a look at the members page to see what languages they speak if they do not speak any English then I move on, Read more… because let’s face it if you can not converse with them at even the most basic of levels in the first instance then what hope do you have with the sometimes complex negotiations of a dynamic?
As an Englishman I feel ashamed because as a result of the Victorians spending most of the reign of Queen Victoria turning half the globe into an Empire it had the knock on effect of making us one of the most laziest of nations in the world when it comes to learning foreign languages and our schools system only provides us the basic entry level skills into three at most foreign languages, where as our counterparts on the continent get a much more comprehensive education in English as well as other languages they might encounter!
Before anyone says anything, yes I would use google translate to read a message from another member if it was written in another language I’m not that lazy an Englishman…. Not out of curiosity but because that person took the time to write a message, it’s only reasonable to give them the courtesy to read it and reply if necessary but as for following that up with a potential dynamic I’d rather put my time and effort into cultivating a more productive dynamic where I can have my mind stimulated in oral conversation and not by the use of google translate.

You can copy from the app - simply press and hold the message/forum post you want to copy and the option to do so pops up.

You can however only copy the whole message/post in the app so have to paste it somewhere like Notes (or even as a reply to the message) to then extract parts of it, if that's what you want to do. ➦gemini_man quote MichaelR22:❝You can copy/paste of the website.
