Translation

[Leen Koper]

I use the Dutch version of Elements V2 for about half a year now. Today I noticed for the first time something funny in the filter menu.
Obviously in english it read "watercolour" or "watercolor" as you Americans usually abuse the beautiful Shakespearean language. ;-))

The translation read "waterkleur". Litterally translated: the colo(u)r of water.
I cannot imagine someone who knows the exact colo(u)r of water.

BTW: a correct translation would have been: "aquarel"

Leen, I believe that scientists consider water to be a colorless liquid.
But what do they know??

Following a long hot dry summer, the water in Victoria can contain many
algae bloom which tend to make it a sickly green gooey color. The water
for Victoria comes from beautiful Sooke Lake which is out my way and it
can also depend on the number of campers in the area.

Dave, we have quite a problem with algae blooms in our streams here. The
runoff of fertilizer from the densely-populated neighborhoods hits these
waterways, causing the proliferation of algae growth, followed by the algae
sucking up all the oxygen out of the water, followed by fish kills. Not a
pretty picture...

Chuck, you may use the sponge tool to desaturate the algae.

Hope this helps. ;-)

Ah, Leen....if it it were that easy...

If I may add to this watercolour affair; the colour of water. Adding color to water or water to color. Color brought to life by water. water brought to life by color. The chinese are the true masters of this concept,imo

Adriana, we continue to be impressed with the multilingual capabilities of
our friends across the ocean - most of us here have trouble dealing with
only one language...

Those lakes are mighty big, Ray! Besides, even though we do know better if we stop to think about it, most of us assume our friends to the North speak English as a native language. You've been hanging out on the forum so much that you no longer type with an accent. :)

I just love this one :))) I'll keep it! Thank you, Beth.

I met with an english speaking friend, last week, to have a couple of beers
over a pool table and he pointed out that my English has improved so much
since the last time we met (6 months ago) that it was incredible! I though
then he was only being polite (he's also my chiropractor), but now, I think
he really meant it :)

But you're right about one thing, most Canadian citizens (I believe it to be
two third of the population) speak english and only english. I was only
teasing Chuck when I mentionned myself.
