I am using Mac 10.5.7
I want to type in English and have my friends, see the German.
I set the Chat Language to : Deutsch - Beta
I type: Hello
The results are:
CaliforniaJim Langer Hello (Hallo)
My friends only see:
Hello
I want them to see the translated word "Hallo".
What is interesting is that my friend can write in Korean, and then I
see the Korean translated to German.
