Quoting panta rei: Don't be cruel that much! The fact that they post their personal and private, yes sometimes even private, conversations -with your words- for the whole world to see, is not their choice and wish, but their absolute necessity. And I won't even mention that the whole world doesn't and can't know actually whose personal posts it sees! |
Uhh I don't see anyone twisting arms to get people to post here so yes, in fact, it is their choice. It makes no difference to me if someone knew who I was or not, I would know it was my post and I just couldn't bring myself to air my issues in public! It's called dignity.

Quoting Trudy: Just one (minor) problem: the girls this topic is about will not read it I guess, they only continue asking for translations.... 'Aşkım, istiyorsun'.... |
All too true!

Quoting libralady:
Call me cruel and heartless too |
I will. You are cruel and heartless as well!
Quoting libralady: but I agree 100% with Girleegirl and it is just testment of the relationships we are talking about. The same people sharing their personal relationships with all the members of this site, and anyone else who wants to look in (you dont have to be a member to see the posts only to reply). |
So what? Assume the following is a real sample of them:
"Darling. Right now I do want to make love to you.
Yours,
Chris"
And what sall we do now? Maybe saying this: "Hey-did you, too, read what I read? Chris wants to do this and that? Such a shame! No privacy at all!"?
But the questions are,
1. Which Chris? There are tons of Chris on the earth. "Chris" here is only grammatically proper and unique name, not in life, at least for us who read her private message.
2. How can we be sure that her real name is really "Chris"?
Quoting libralady: How can you have a relationship based on "getting translations" to sort out your problems, which judging by the repeat requests, never get sorted out. |
This is purely their own problems, and we can't judge about it. Let's leave this point or problem to them and let them themselves decide if a relationship can base on "getting translations" and such a relationship can run or not. After all, this is not our business.
Quoting libralady: Why is it an absolute necessity?? |
It is absolute necessity because they have to communicate with one another, no matter in what language; and for this purpose, they have to have their messages to one another, including private ones, translated. This is that simple! But why do you miss the point many of them try to learn one another's language to escape from this "annoying" situation? Here is why it isn't their choice and wish but absolute necessity.
Quoting libralady: And what about the man in these cases? How would he feel if he knew his private life was being posted on the internet? Most guys would say goodbye to any possible relationship there might have been. |
But every time he nicely and with pleasure reads her messages in his own language- everything is nice and goes ok, isn't it? Hehe! And I don't think he can be too stupid to consider the messages in question get translated on the net.
Anyway, I just feel I have to support them because you all are so cruel. Whereas not all above things are my personal thoughts. I can even agree with you at few points.

girleegirl - what is important and in question here is your "love", "your relationship", -which yes have to be private- but in normal conditions. Compared to its, for example, future, would you really care panta rei reads and thus finds out about your love? Would it still be important to you when and after you have no love you can worry about its being readable in public? I wouldn't ever care whether the whole world sees my personal posts, after or once I lost my love.

why? as Trudy said best they will not read it anyway. Why be so defensive?? I use the translation forum to learn, it has worked really well for me, I pick a translation try and do it, then check it when it has been done by someone else.
Now if you want to be so helpful, why don't you just make a list of some of these repetitive terms of endearment and post them, because frankly it is tiring sorting through the I love you bullshit to find something meaningful to translate. Please don't call people cruel when after all you yourself stress the fact that we don't truly know the people here.

I agree with you panta rei
You wrote everything that should be said, so there's no need to write more.
They're cruel because they do not have a man whose texts they could get translated here.

Obviously I would care...that's why I wouldn't do it. I don't care if you KNOW who I am or not...I would NEVER post my personal business for all the world to see.

How could you ever come up with such a stupid conclusion Oh yes, I shall cry my heart out that I am not some sap who met a boy on holiday that I can't communicate with and now he is trying to tell me (in a language I can't understand) that he wants nothing to do with me but some money. Instead my fiance and I met like normal people and we see eachother "in person" everyday for 3 years.
How could I not be jealous??? You are so right.... I shall plummit off a bridge immediatly
In case you are curious mltm, we all actually have "real" relationships... not made up of nothing but texting and chatting

Maybe because they have a man they can talk to in a language both understand, without the need of public translation?
