Not the way forward...just another tool. The lists are far more valuable - both for the archives and the expertise. Things are quiet I think because we all have to sort papers, haha.

My late brother in law has Danish ancestors. I agreed to join and a wealth of information came through...all in Danish! I haven't a clue what was being said. But the Dane contact replied to my messages both in Danish and English. Unlike Rootsweb photos can be added which is an advantage but when the photos, including family trees, are large they are compressed and no words can be read as they are very blurred. The Dane then added me to a genealogist forum on Facebook. Again every message was in Danish! But I then discovered that my browser has an addum which translates any language into any other language. I have been using this. In a way I find this a big improvement over rootsweb simply because you can reply to message 'live' and get a response back within a few seconds. Could this be the way forward? If you re not at your computer you can reply to messages when you are. The message appear on my mobile but I don't have a translator on there to can't read Danish Victor On 16/05/2014 5:42 PM, Nivard Ovington wrote: > Hi Barry > > I did see your previous post on this problem > > But as far as I can see it is only you suffering with it > > Are you entering from your own countries servers? ie not using a proxy site? > > I cannot think of a reason you are having the problem > > What are you downloading > > Are they always in the same language and if so what is it? > > When you say "prints" are the downloads in English on your computer > before you try and print them? > > What format are the downloads, JPEG, PDF or ??? > > > Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > > On 16/05/2014 17:33, Barry Wilson wrote: >> As we seem to be discussing message problems, I wonder if anyone can tell >> me why Family Search prints downloads in a Foreign Language, this has been >> going on now for 2 months, and although I have been in touch with the site, >> there appears to be on answer from them.
