| ... But still a question in regard to the English translations: which form of language should we utilise, the American English or the English English? | ... Aber mal eine Frage bezüglich der Englisch-Übersetzungen: Welche Sprachform sollen wir verwenden, das amerikanische Englisch oder das englische Englisch? |
| Ptaah | Ptaah |
| 45. You should unconditionally refrain from American English because it deals with a philistine, uneducated and uncultivated language, which does not correspond to the values of your books and those of all your texts. | 45. Vom amerikanischen Englisch solltet ihr unbedingt absehen, denn es handelt sich um eine banausenhafte, ungebildete und unkultivierte Sprache, die nicht den Werten deiner Bücher und denen aller eurer Schriften entspricht. |
| 46. Therefore a cultivated English should be used for all translations and this cultivated English can only be found in English English. | 46. Also sollte ein kultiviertes Englisch benutzt werden für alle Übersetzungen, und dieses Kultivierte findet sich einzig und allein im englischen Englisch. |
| 47. And it is our wish and desire that you act accordingly and, therefore, that English English is used. | 47. Und dass ihr demgemäss handelt und also das englische Englisch benutzt, ist unser Wunsch und Begehr. |

| Thanks, that helps us very much, consequently we will follow your advice which is hidden behind the desire and wish. | Danke, das hilft uns sehr, folglich wir deine Anweisung befolgen werden, die sich hinter dem Begehr und Wunsch versteckt. |

- I was wondering if the differences between American English and British English were even worth mentioning, what the exact differences were: wikipedia, not great differences. But there may well be a key difference in the overall education of where the word came from originally, how the context and sentence formulation made sense originally, where the pronunciation aligns with the word origins or something like this. I suppose one would have to look at old English, Latin, old French and old German and see the evolution of the language or something like this, by cultivation this probably means this.
