Hello, I am quite confused by the options "1" and "other". If we here are all translators, I guess that “1” should not be relevant, but what do you mean by “other” ? Many thanks in advance Best regards Olivier Extra HTML code removed by forum administrator [Edited by L C on Tuesday, September 08, 2009 03:39]

Liliana Boladz Expert Mother tongues: Polish, English Posts: 3115 2 Joined: Saturday, September 13, 2008 Location: United States (removed)	RE: How many languages do you speak? By one, I mean one. It is a free poll, so if you want to put one it is ok, I honestly believe some translators may just know one language at a college entry level, or if not, one should also be an option. By other I mean any other combination. Maybe a person does not speak the language that well, but can write dissertations in it, or something like that. In fact the other was supposed to be at the end but somehow jumped to the top during uploading. [Edited by Liliana Boladz on Tuesday, September 08, 2009 05:03]
