You may have noticed the small German flag that popped up on the top right corner of the We Are Social site a couple of days ago?

We’re increasingly working on international campaigns, often including Germany, so it seems only natural that our website is also available in German. Obviously it would be nice to have some German clients, but mainly it’s really important that the people we’re talking to as part of our campaigns know who we are and what we’re about.

It comes thanks to Christian Röse, who spent a month with us in February as a We Are Social intern – learning about social media in general and working on the translation of our website – thank you Christian!

Obviously, we’re not German ourselves and we’re very much aware that adapting a text into another language is not just a straight translation exercise, so we’re really keen to get some feedback. If you speak a bit of Deutsch yourself please let us know what you think in the comments below or drop us an email!

    Servas schatzl an schönen gruas! Wie gehts dir?

    All good to me, except for that strange part about Robin wanting to have sex with a dog. Or a pig? I didn't quite get that part and don't remember seeing it in the UK version. Hmmm.

    Ahh, those Germans. Such a sense of humour.

    Eins, zwei, drei g'suffa!

    It is of course very nice to have the website in your native language! I speak Dutch, which is pretty similar to Deutsch (german), but most of the interesting articals on the web are in English. The only reason why I would translate my website into other languages would be when you target a specific region or a specific group of people, other then the people who are already interested in the website.
