Would You Like That Translated To Dutch?
My phone kept asking, “Would you like that translated to Dutch?”. Why would Google think that I need a Dutch translation for everything? I wondered about it and it kept asking.
The answer came to me when it did it while I was around Amish friends. The Amish speak a version of Dutch. I don’t care what they speak, I just assume that they’re talking about me when they switch to Dutch. That amuses me and I never thought about it much more. Google on the other hand thinks it’s very important and would like to clear up any language barrier I may be having.

Before you get steeped in this article, it’s important to note that I have no qualifications other than being a casual observer of technology. I am just writing about what I see and assume.

I welcome thoughts from professionals. I would assume that if you have to many qualifications, that’s a problem too. Are you going to spill the beans on your money-maker? Probably not.
