[edit] The tree and the cat

On Steganography there's an image of a tree with a cat hidden in it. On Talk:Steganography there is a discussion on how to retrieve the cat, and on this page is a possible solution:

I added this box because it makes it easy for people to find me when something needs translating.

  • Dutch: native speaker
  • English: good grade in grammar school
    I use English daily, but sometimes I may "get stuck" when speaking.
  • German: good grade in grammar school
    I don't use German that often, so I have to look up technical terms.
  • Latin: good grade in grammar school
    Unfortunately we only translated from Latin in class, so my active Latin skills are limited.
  • Afrikaans: resembles Dutch very much
    Afrikaans resembles Dutch so much that I am usually able to comprehend it. Conversely a native Afrikaans speaker can comprehend me without difficulty.

I own dictionaries for all these languages except Afrikaans.

[edit] Cuddles from the German wiki!

I quote:

Die Wikipedia ist eine Enzyklopädie.
Die Wikipedia ist ein Wiki.
Die Wikipedia ist super.
Die Wikipedia hat euch lieb.
Die Wikipedia knuddelt euch.
