I didn't realise it had to be exclusively in English. I've seen posts in Spanish here before. I think it's a bit mean to exclude this lady just because she's writing in German. She's obviously a bit lonely and is reaching out to people for help, just like you or I might do.
Can't you just use an electronic translator to find out what she's saying? It's not hard. I do hope your comments haven't made her feel unwanted....

Be nice if this was in English so we could all understand. After all it is an English forum for people in Spain!

All you have to do is highlight the message and the option to translate comes up. Select that and bingo it's translated! This retired lady is no longer looking for friends via this forum. In my opinion your comment was unnecessary.

Agreed, she deserves respect and did nothing wrong but was criticized by perfect British on forum for all not only English. We should should feel ashamed.

I am a pensioner and am looking for nice people for entertainment.

I don’t think we all should feel ashamed. Rather that everyone should think carefully before replying on the forum. Surely we should be inclusive not excluding people who don’t speak English.

Anyway you frightened her off if you hadn’t translated her last post

“I don't value getting to know someone about it anymore, thank you too

I'm logging off again”

An old lonely woman comes looking for company and gets criticism for not writing in English because apparently "its an english forum" even though it states nowhere that it's is. I have a big heart and alot of empithy (I never used to) and I really felt for her because she felt bullied away from a site that's ment to bring people together. I wrote something on another post a few day ago, I even said I hope Alex was watching about nastiness and how more people will leave if it keeps happening and it's just happened.
