I have bad news for French readers of this blog : I decided to blog mostly in english from now. I really apologize if you don’t understand it… Perhaps it would be an opportunity for you to learn ? By the way, I will try to do my best to update from time to time the French version of Watsupmanu according to the news and my inspiration of the moment.
OK, now many people will ask me why do I suddenly made this risky choice ?
Waving USA flag
Firstly, I decided to blog in english for a simple reason : Because this the international language. So when you spend most of your blogging as I do, you are dreaming to reach the widest audience as possible. Then, writing in english is an evidence when you know that this language is writen and spoken by more than 360 million people all over the world.
Secondly, I have a personal project in mind that required to speak english fluently… So, as it is not the case, this is the opportunity for me to improve my english… In advance, I apologize to english readers of this blog for my many errors present and future !
Hey, I just came across your site, well, the French site :)
Just to share with you, I have Google Chrome as my web browser and there is an option for Google to translate whatever foreign language to your own.
If I am not mistaken, it’s an automatic feature already in the browser. I glanced through my internet options and did not see an option to turn it on or off. All it does is when you load a page in a different language, Google will ask at the top to translate it for you. It seems pretty accurate, other than jokes that translate that do not have the same effect in English :)
So, with that, if your French speaking bloggers would still love to continue reading in French, go ahead and look into it. Try it out yourself first, if not already, so you know what I am talking about.
:) Ah, technology makes us more lazy with learning (which is ironic, because you have to learn how to create technology better, just so it can learn for you…). Either way, still plan on learning more languages just for the fact of traveling and keeping my brain active! :)
So, I am just trying to be helpful, and I am in no way endorsing Google either, just a Google user!
Thanks

Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for your comment and your advices about transalation tools.
For the moment, I try to keep blogging in both languages (French and English).
As I am French, it’s easier for me to blog in my mothertongue but I really want to improve my English.
That’s why I do not use automatic translation tools (I admit that I use it sometimes when I have any lacks of vocabulary)
Thank you for coming here.
See ya later :)
