I just spent an hour trying to figure out my dishwasher. The manual was translated into two languages, French or German. Well, that’s not true; the manual was translated in Finnish, Dutch, Norwegian, Greek, Russian, Danish, Italian and Spanish. My closest shot at reading it was in French. Glad to say I didn’t have to look up too much on Google translate – I knew there was a reason for those six years of French classes! Germany really has no bias toward English as a dominant world language…even when things are translated into English (not too often) it’s GB (Great Britain). I’m seeing it as an opportunity to brush up on my language skills.
