Taiwan Just a quick (and urgent) translation question (only three words) :)
Posted: Sun June 29, 2008 02:39 PM UTC
Hi everybody,

I wonder if anybody could help me with this:

Tonight (in two hours) I will meet folks from Taiwan here in Germany.
I made something to eat for a buffet and as most of them do not speak English/German a translation would be great.

Just a few words which I would copy/paste/print:

German Onion Cake
Vegetarian
Traditional

Thank you so much and greetings,

midnightfever

Chinese language is intrincate. There are two chinese languages: the Simplified Chinese and the Traditional Chinese. I believe Traditional Chinese is spoken in Taiwan.
I am sending below some link. It will help you (if you're lucky) to be understood by chinese folks:

With the PC you have it will be easy to get in touch each other. Wish the site is really electronic.

Hi there,

thank you for your answer !

Unfortunately the links only leads to a translation service
without online dictionary.

The official language in Taiwan is Chinese but most people speak
Taiwanese which is the language I am looking for.

I could not find any translation tools online so I am still looking for help.

Thank you so far and greetings !
