I agree with LGO to an extent. When I send a translation I include an English copy. However, when I receive a letter from them in German, translate it on my computer, I have no difficulty in determining their meaning. I have been doing this for about 6 years now and it has worked fine. I will also add here that one would never send a German translation for official business. This is just a matter between family. I have laughed and they have laughed--so what!!!! Dottie Smiley
