Thank you, Gustav.

P.S. As far as I see most of the national alphabets letters went well through wire - something like 80% of them - let's assume that the test worked OK. Thank you.

Hi All,

 

I have found (I’m joking) that Russian is the most laconic language in expressing emotions and emotional states – I mean Russian usually (always?) needs the least amount of letters to express emotions in written text/verbally – here is one example - I have got translations from http://translate.google.com – I can’t guarantee they are all correct. Also I’m not sure that non-Ascii letters will go well through wires – the main purpose of this message is to test that - could be useful to know how it will work if some code samples here will have national alphabets used):

 

Russian: Шучу

 

English: I'm joking

Arabic:  أنا يمزح

Bulgarian: Аз съм шегува

Hungarian: I'm vicc

Dutch: Ik ben een grapje

Greek: *τι αστειεύομαι

Hebrew: אני צוחק

Indonesian: Aku bercanda

Spanish: Estoy bromeando

Italian: Sto scherzando

Chinese(Traditional): *****

German: Ich scherze

Polish: Ja żartuję

Portugal: Estou brincando

Romanian: Eu glumesc

Serbs: Шалим се

Slovak: Ja si žarty

Slovenes: Šalim

Тагальский: Ako biro

Turkish:  Ben şaka yapıyorum yaşıyorum

Ukrainian: Жартую

French: Je plaisante

Hindi: *** **** ** *** ***

Croatian: Šalim se

Czech: Já si legraci

Swedish: Jag skämtar

Estonian: Ma nalja

Japan: *は**を*っている

…

 

As you can see(?) in Russian you need just one word and 4 chars to write/say “I’m joking”.

 

Thank you.

P.S. Gustav, I didn’t find translation to Danish on translate.google.com – what it is?
