Translated by  Porfyhr | Target language: English
The children of today are born with a mouse and a computer in their hand, they do not behave like children any more, but they are not yet teenagers. The children are 8 and 12 years of age, either you are 5 or 70 years old the youth and its style has become a coveted goal. Children are objects for advertising agencies, here at home they have created an immense project at a school, where they investigate, how consumption and media are connected. | Remarks about the translation | The Danish settings are suboptimal. |

27 September 2007 06:18 | | | Hi Porfyhr,
I'd like to change the following:
either --> whether
the youth and its style --> youth and its style
objects --> targets
at a school --> at one school
investigate, how --> investigate how
before I put it to a vote, okay?  | | |
29 September 2007 05:12 | | | This sentence doesn't make sense:
"The children are 8 and 12 years of age, either you are 5 or 70 years old the youth and its style has become a coveted goal." | | |

I'm thinking we should reject this one, as we still have not heard from Porfyhr regarding that cryptic sentence in the middle. What do you think? CC: IanMegill2 | | |

The children of today are born with a mouse and a computer in their hands; they do not behave like children any more. However, they are not yet teenagers, but only between 8 and 12 years of age. Whether you are 5 or 70 years old, youth and its style has become a coveted goal. Children are targets for advertising agencies. Here at home they have created an immense project at one school, where they investigate how consumption and media are connected.

I guess this translation has been sitting around for quite a while, and we have to reject it. If Porfyhr wants to, he could quickly do the translation again anyway, copying and pasting from my above version if he finds it helpful...?
