Wow! This website is now translated into five modern languages through Google translation services. Being fairly fluent in German, I immediately investigated to see how they translated certain names and phrases. Linguistics have always fascinated me. It highlights anew the importance of knowing the original language. For example, the name "College View SDA Church" is translated literally as the "High School SDA Church." The official name "Seventh-day Adventist" is also incorrectly translated into German. Overall, however, online translation services do a great job. Special thanks, Colleen and Richard, for adding this international flavor to this website. Consequently, may the gospel of Jesus Christ penetrate countless souls around the world. Dennis J. Fischer |
