Did they ever fix the issue that an American teen used a hilariously bad interpretation of the Scots language to write thousands of articles on the Scots wiki?
Only partially, unfortunately. There aren’t a lot of people who speak full on Scots, the majority of Scotland speaks a dialect of English with a handful of Scots vocabulary now. It’s an endangered language.
Crude translation, trying to keep the word order the same.
Hitler’s death and Dönitz 's acceptance of rule in Germany led a British paper to write:
“Never before in the history has the prospect of peace so suddenly changed to the possibility of a protracted war.”
It’s Afrikaans, not Dutch. It’s close though. We can understand written Afrikaans.
For non-speakers, it’s kind of like reading Scots as a monolingual English speaker. https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_leid
Funny. If you say the words out loud they’re much easier to understand.

It’s like reading a Nac Mac Feegle speaking.
That explains the neutral tone. It’s something important far away.
Also that newspaper is called “The Fatherland”.
It’s a pretty good hint of where they stand in the whole Left-Right political spectrum.
Which is super weird in it self. I mean, do South African white people call their colonist nation their “Fatherland”?
FYI- South Africa is kind of unique in that it was settled by a ruling class as opposed to the normal dregs like most other places.
The maintained their close relationship to home and superior status to their slaves/servants much longer than other places.
I think they call it the Volkstaat
Hitler dood? Lekker bru!
Would you translate the bold text below the subtitles?
Obviously, he’s so dood.
