Assuming that English isn't your native language, do you ever find yourself translating English phrases into your own, native language?

Nope

I do that the other way around

nope(gujrati and English)

Uh, no.

 

never, even in my thoughts do I 'speak' [native] with English words interspersed.

I do that the other way around

Yep - Kinda frustrating, if you want to write an official article/text or something and it contains way too much english phrases or words.

Couldn't have said it better. While writing a text yesterday, I roughly translated the English word "collection" into "kollektion" - which is a Swedish word with the same meaning, even though it wouldn't be used the same way "collection" would be used.

no - i don't give a fuck about my native language, abandoned it for english

There are a few words in portuguese that are very similar to english, and some times i make some mistakes

I do occasionally

I find it hard to translate English into Croatia without losing some meaning in translation. Also, I often think in English, as it actually seems to be more simple language.

Not rely i kinda came to the point where i can use English like my native language and when I am speaking with English people or reading in English , I tend to think and answer in English immediately. Though my grammar and spelling isn't the best in written English , in spoken it's nearly perfect.

I do that the other way around

Sometimes as Reita said...

No. Even if I do, its accidentaly and in the most cases I can find an [insert language here] equivalent.

Seeing as how my [higher] education is one of a linguist, I do weird things with language all the time. This includes intentionally bad translations, needless translations, translating jokes, etc. This goes both ways and is always funny.

Sometimes

 

also i do some localization in my free time so yeah

i do translate ...

never think about my native language, English is all over my head

yes I often try to find/use a german equivalent to an english word.

Now I feel like an stupid English faggot. Need to learn another language.

Nope. I treat Malay and English as something unique to their own.

English, Armenian, Spanish, (0.1% Russian), and /dev/urandom

yes i do translate English phrases into my native language.....English
