Style of German translation: Du/Sie Some translations are using the more formal "Sie" instead of "Du" when addressing the reader. <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <meta content="Word.Document" name="ProgId" /> <meta content="Microsoft Word 11" name="Generator" /> <meta content="Microsoft Word 11" name="Originator" /> <link href="file:///C:\DOKUME~1\STATIO~1\LOKALE~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List" />Depending on that the text string sometimes will look completely different. Becoming longer or shorter.

Following a common style we should focus on one. Keeping the continuity. Any suggestions?



Other languages will have this problem, too. French: vous/tu, Chinese: <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <meta content="Word.Document" name="ProgId" /> <meta content="Microsoft Word 11" name="Generator" /> <meta content="Microsoft Word 11" name="Originator" /> <link href="file:///C:%5CDOKUME%7E1%5CSTATIO%7E1%5CLOKALE%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List" /><style type="text/css"> </style>/. Although the boundary will not be the same everywhere.

<style type="text/css"> ) instead of "Du" () </style>

I would prefer du. i would argue that i know the website for quite some time so it can "dutzen" me.

In Chinese, wo use nin(您) when we are not really familiar with the speaker. And generally speaking, I think it will not affect the understanding. I think languages used in internet world are generally more informal. I would like to hear others opinion on this.
