2+2 Books in French ?

Chillee · #1 06-05-2007, 05:01 PM

It seems there will be some 2+2 books to be translated in French. Is it possible to have some informations about the titles concerned, the release dates, etc...

Hi Chillee:

Harrington I and II are being translated right now. After these are released we expect others to follow.

Our French publisher is also our German Publisher, and the first German book is out. So we know they're coming.

Best wishes,
Mason

It always amazes me that French people don't want to read English.

If they can learn poker they can learn English.

Absolutely true. The cards are in English! And they use the English numbering system!

Don't know English is the exact answer. There is a language, called French, which works pretty well for most of the people so they don't need to learn another one.

Yes, that's is the French spirit. It's horrible when you are on vacation in Paris. In Holland almost everyone has learned a little English. At least enough to read English books or to communicate with foreigners.

I'm one of the rare french who speaks almost fluent english. And I read books in English.
But I don't get why you expect someone who's native language is not English to read books in English and be able to give directions in English to american tourists. French people don't know English any better than Americans know their second language. What's your second language? Do you read books in that language on a regular basis? Or do you wait for a translation?
When I ask directions in an american city, I don't expect people to know french or german or spanish.

French suck at foreign languages as much as americans, nothing more
