Hello from Düsseldorf

  • Hi everyone,


    I am Jay, 29 years old, originally from China, and I live in Düsseldorf now. I started practicing naturism two or three years ago after I came to Germany - seeing all the FKK places here made me intrigued.


    Really happy to find this site that is aimed at a younger audience. Would love to get in touch especially if you are in the region (but perhaps my profile is not yet visible since I am new).


    I also have a suggestion for this website: it might be a good idea to incorporate a Google Translate button or the like for forum posts. I see there are many interesting discussions happening in the German-language section. My German is not that good yet, and while I can always use an online translator, I am afraid that the nuance might get lost in translation when it comes to more complex thoughts. It would be better to be able to write my thoughts directly in English and for people who do not read English to have a translate button right there in the post. To other international people, what do you guys think about this?

  • Hallo and welcome in Germany and in this Forum. :) The idea with the Button is good maybe with the app Deepl, the best translator app. :)

    Es gibt nichts Natürlicheres als die Nacktheit. Aber nur für die, die natürlich blieben.

    ah yes, I also use DeepL sometimes. I like that I can easily swap out words in the translated sentences (at least this is the case for the website version of it). I would just be really happy if there is a translate button, from whichever provider that is the easiest to integrate into this website :)

  • Hello Jay,

    wellcome to this board


    Concerning your tranlation topic:

    On my desktop i use the Firefox browser.

    Within Firefox you can load various tranlation add-ins to translate a word, paragrph or a complete page.

    On my Android phone i use the Chrome browser. It provides a translate button.

    Perhaps this is a way to go.

    Greetings.

    Hello Delphi,


    Yes, I know haha, thank you for trying to help. I use the Chrome browser and its build-in translation function.


    My suggestion was more so that a translate button on the forum would serve as an official signal that it is okay to post in another language. Otherwise, it feels kind of rude to write a post in English in a German-language discussion thread (maybe some people don't have or don't know how to use the translation function in their browser).


    Greetings

  • Hi Jay,

    a warm welcome to our community — it’s great to have you here!


    Thank you for your thoughtful introduction and especially for your suggestion about integrating a translation function. Your idea is a valuable impulse toward a more multicultural and accessible environment, and it could certainly help new international members feel more at home on our site.


    At the moment, our admin Kalle is unfortunately dealing with health issues, so a quick technical implementation is unlikely. But your proposal has already received positive reactions — also from my side — and I hope that our moderators can pick it up and discuss it with him once things have settled a bit.


    In any case, we’re very happy that you found your way to us, and I hope you enjoy the exchanges here. Feel free to jump in, share your thoughts in English, and connect with members in your region — you’re definitely in the right place!


    Welcome again, and have a great time here!

    Hallo Jay,

    ein herzliches Willkommen in unserer Community – schön, dass du zu uns gefunden hast!


    Vielen Dank für deine durchdachte Vorstellung und ganz besonders für deinen Vorschlag, eine Übersetzungsfunktion zu integrieren. Deine Idee ist ein wertvoller Impuls für ein multikulturelles und zugängliches Miteinander und könnte neuen internationalen Mitgliedern wirklich helfen, sich bei uns noch wohler zu fühlen.


    Unser Admin Kalle ist derzeit leider gesundheitlich ausgefallen, sodass eine schnelle technische Umsetzung eher unwahrscheinlich ist. Aber dein Vorschlag wurde bereits positiv aufgenommen – auch von meiner Seite – und ich hoffe, dass unsere Moderatoren das Thema aufgreifen und zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt gemeinsam mit ihm besprechen können.


    Wir freuen uns auf jeden Fall sehr, dass du den Weg zu uns gefunden hast. Ich wünsche dir viel Freude beim Austausch hier. Schreib gern einfach auf Englisch und knüpfe Kontakte in deiner Region – du bist hier ganz richtig!


    Nochmals herzlich willkommen und viel Spaß in der Runde!

    Thank you for the warm welcome and for the information. I would be very happy if the admin team can take this up :)
