Mkat stranger Registered: 07/05/13 Posts: 1 Loc: Los Angeles CA	Hey anyone hear of a scrabble time game that employs two or more languages, for example Spanish and English or English and German? I love playing in different languages. Of note, some words are the same in any language (just about). For example, how do you say "cargo" in German? Cargo.

Sorry. Maybe the ones that scrabble don't like them and the ones that like them and could do it don't scrabble. Bad luck, sorry.

We use words from other languages all the time, it would be great to be able to game with them. _________________________ formerly known as etaoin...

I know there are ways of writing these in European scripts, but these vary, even within one base-language _________________________ I'm immortal until proven otherwise
