Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cross-language Editing and Learning Exchange/German

German exchange message

I am the first person to sign up for the German translation exchange, and though I would like to post about it on German Wikipedia, I am not confident about my translation of the invitation message. I would appreciate any critique from a more experienced German speaker before I post the message. My proposed message is below.

Hallo, möchtest du deine Schreibfertigkeiten in englischer Sprache verbessern, während du Wikipedia bearbeitest? Dafür gibt es jetzt ein neues Projekt, das dir dabei helfen kann. Es heißt Cross-language Editing and Learning Exchange. Es hilft dir dabei einen fließend Englisch sprechenden Benutzer zu finden, der deinen Artikel überprüfen kann, bevor du ihn in der englischen Wikipedia veröffentlichst. Im Gegenzug hilfst du anderen Benutzern beim Schreiben von Artikeln für die deutschsprachige Wikipedia.

I will try to find help on the WikiProject Germany and Language Reference Desk pages if no one else signs up in the next few days. Hampton11235 (talk) 20:29, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

I just fixed the wording. If you talk to German Wikipedians please use "du" (as a translation for the english "you") instead of "Sie". "Du" is used for good colleagues and between friends while "Sie" is much more formal. -- Reise Reise (talk) 12:46, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
