peer agreement (net): +1hefty food and language barrier Explanation: Hi Mary, I am of course not happy with this solution, but Röstigraben cannot and should not be translated. But you must if it is an ad for people not knowing about Switzerland. I would change the text and say something like "hefty food and already a slight breeze from the French speaking regions.." Just to give you an idea. |

peer agreement (net): +1linguistic divide Explanation: Belying its deep historical resonance for the Swiss, MURTEN, 6km northeast of Avenches, has the air of a holiday town, its neat suburban streets and low-key waterfront promenade remniscent of the English south coast. It’s bang on the Röstigraben (linguistic divide), though among its 5,000 inhabitants, German speakers far outnumber francophones (who call the place Morat). It’s also one of the best preserved of Switzerland’s medieval towns, and is still encircled by its fifteenth-century walls. These days, offering nothing much to do other than strolling on cobbled lanes, sipping drinks at lakeview terrace cafés and boating around the lakes, it’s the perfect place for a lazy, romantic getaway. The Old Town’s hotels oblige with a range of “honeymoon” suites. Reference: http://www.switzerland.isyours.com/e/guide/arc_jurassien/mor... |
