It&#x27;s also interesting to see sophisticated bilinguals directly discussing vocabulary issues between their two languages. The main place where I&#x27;ve seen this is on the Leo German-English dictionary:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dict.leo.org&#x2F;forum&#x2F;index.php?lp=ende&amp;lang=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dict.leo.org&#x2F;forum&#x2F;index.php?lp=ende&amp;lang=en</a><p>Quite a few of these people are professional translators or at least use the other language professionally, and they have lots of questions and answers for each other about different nuances. It&#x27;s impressive partly because many of these subtleties might not otherwise be documented anywhere in print.
