Hi guys.

Sorry for the language barrier.

Can someone help me to change the board language to English so I can understand?

[jenad]

It seems that the language can't be switched at the moment.

[EKOfromUK]

Ah thats a shame

[Erich]

I do not know how that works on the E30 cluster. On the E32 and E34 it is like this:

 

Changing the OBC language:

The OBC language of the car will sometimes reset itself to German. To change it to whatever you like try this:

1. Turn the ignition to position 1.

2. Hold the CC button down for 10 seconds. Then the next language will appear.

3. Repeat this procedure untill you have the desired language.

The available languages are: Engish UK, English US, French, German, Italian, Spanish

Sorry Erich,I am trying to change the language on E30talk from German to English.

[Herculesfreak5]

I bet he means the website language Erich! ;)

 

It seems that you need to learn some german words EKO :P

[jenad]

What do you want to know?

[Torsten 325]

Uhm, I don't think that this was the question, Erich....

I am convinced, there are enough members who are able to help you in english.

 

For the beginning this might help you: http://dict.leo.org/

 

If not, don't hesitate to ask.

 

Welcome!!!

If you have a specific problem, you may post it in English.

 

Since we are schatzis and not British , there may be one or two, that can answer, more or less correct, in your native language.

 

If you like to use the board regularly, you must learn german.

[funkydrift]

Do you have some special questions, EKO?

Maybe we are able to answer them.

As you can see, here are some guys who manage writing in english. Also it isn't perfect.

 

But if you are searching for a solution to read all entries in english, you should ask the administrator "hausmeister".

Because of what Jenad, who knows a lot about this forum, wrote you shouldn't be too optimistic.

We will see, what can be done.

[jenad]

I know that the phpBB based E30 Zone offers the oppurtunity to change the language, but for now it isn't implemented here. But I think, this could be easyily done.

[Erich]

he wants to read this forum in Englisch, not German. I misunderstood this.

 

 

Hatte ich jetzt falsch verstanden. Er moechte dieses Forum auf Englisch lesen, ich hab es mal mit google translate versucht und den Link eingegeben, aber das klappt nicht so richtig.

E-30 Talk goes international ? Welcome to Bavaria! Where some clocks have a delay (means 'Attention: Irony!')

 

E.g.: I was born in Munich but live in Hamburg, where do you live? It could not be stranger than...)

[EKOfromUK]

As you say Modfather,on the E30zone is the option to change language so I just assumed all forums were like that.

Not to worry,im sure ill get by with the help of Google translator.

No specific reason for me joining your forum other than being nosey and exploring Google for `E30 forum`.

Seems like an active place here and being in the Motherland makes it even better!

Well it would be rude not to introduce myself.

My name is Tony and ive been playing around with E30`s for around 7 years.

Had more than my fair share which ive modded/updated to my own standards.

Currently drive a 1994 MugelloRot 316i Touring which is soon to be M50B25.

Plans are to turbo it soon after the engine swap.

You tried to edit your post?

The buttons on the bottom right are like: edit, quote, multiple quote, answer.

[WolfManE30]

welcome to the forum. i'm pretty sure we'll be able to help you out in english as well if you have some questions.

 

there's a bunch of people here having done engine swaps with the m50/m52 engines, some even with turbocharging. i'd assume some of them speak english as well.

if that doesn't work for you, there's always the option of learning german

 

i like your touring, but then again i just like red cars.

i'd been looking at the picture for quite a while before i figured out what had struck me as strange. i then realized it's the wipers being hinged on the "wrong" side of the car. you do drive on the wrong side of the road though, so this is quite alright

[denyo77]

that's a looker, mate! Stance is perfect, just a bit high in the front but maybe that's just the terrain. Welcome to e30 talk. Where in the UK are you from?

[jenad]

The feature is now implemented. Simply scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the union jack.

Jenad thank you very much :)

Im now going for a look around your forum,hopefully I can offer some input along the way.

 

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome too!

[jenad]

To be honest- it wasn't me. It was the Hausmeister.

 

But you are welcome. Feel free to ask in english, just in case.
