If this was Game Mod business, sure. But no-one has accused Tommybear of cheating. He may well have made the accusation up to seek attention.
He started this thread, asking for public validation. My suggestion that he posts his next post in Flemish, to match the language of Tom Piceu's website, was serious. If he posts in Flemish (very close to Afri ...[text shortened]... public thread!
If he doesn't like what happens in this thread, he only has himself to blame.

Edit: Dutch Babel Fish translation: Maar de vertaling is gewoonlijk zo erg slecht die u zult opmerken het een computervertaling is zelfs als u niet de taal zeer goed kent. Ik gebruik soms de Vissen van Babel of gelijkaardige pagina's om een goede lach te hebben.
Translated back to English: But the translation is usually this way terrible bad which you will notice it a computer translation is even if you do not know the language very well. I use sometimes the fish of Babel or similar pages good laugh to have.

Originally posted by schakuhryep. At random you translate somewhat at Spaniards then at the French to it at the German then on, which and then is Chinese at the Englishman and sees, what you received. Always large maintenance.
yep. Translate something random to spanish, then french, then german, then chinese, and then english and see what you get. Always great fun.
(I had to hop over Chinese, because Babel Fish doesn't translate from German to Chinese.)
Originally posted by NordlysBut my point is, that if a person posted back in another language it wouldn't prove anything. Especially in the context that Gatecrasher mentioned.

All this time I thought you knew so many languages, but now you admit you're an engine user! 🙄
Originally posted by arrakisOf course it wouldn't prove anything. It could just be a person who happens to know that language. He could have chosen that specific country because he knows that language. Or he could know someone who knew that language and helped with the translation. So a post in that language wouldn't prove anything, but if he wouldn't be able to produce a post in that language or if it would be filled with mistakes, that would be pretty strong evidence that he isn't the person he pretends to be.
