| gamineNumber of messages: 4611 | Something else is wrong. It's written in present tense and make it quite uneasy to translate.
In English it should be: We have been together for 3 months and I am still happy with you
but it doesn't work with the German submission.

The requester is a German speaker so she have to correct the text by herself. But let's see what the German experts say |

| | Oh, so sorry Ernst, I didn't pay attention and I edited the text! |

Gamine, there is no "n" after "Monate" - only if you say "Wir sind seit drei Monate n zusammen...".
About the tense - it's perfectly fine the way it is now, I think the possible English translation shouldn't bother us at that stage, because the original request is in German and not in English. (anyway: in English you would have to use Present Perfect Tense)
And yeah, Francky or Bamsa or any other expert: it would be way easier if you waited for our opinion first, before editing. (yet - no offense!) I usually try to respond to this kind of requests quite fast. |

edit: I just saw: it is perfect now |
