Okay, with effort, I can usually translate German. Dutch, not so much.

That but litterally translated (such as TSN that do with zn German) are "Do people talk" "Doen people praten", and that is gibberish.

Letterlijk inderdaad wel, ja. Ik ging uit van Tim's Duitse voorbeeld bij m'n vertaling, niet jouw Engelse, en had daarom geen rekening gehouden met dat pokkehulpwerkwoord. B)

Stop it, or I will start talking cockney.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I think I get it now, but that's not the same. You could translate "do people talk" as, say "tun Leute sprechen", and of course it would be gibberish. But that's because you're not using any sort of grammar. You're just translating each word by itself. If I had done that with the original Trek quote, it would have been "and now will we really our well-deserved vacation to take".

English is the first foreign language I'd think of, so...

Actually, I'd call English an exception among languages rather than the rule, other languages have more in common with each other than with English...
