If you mean the type of language babies use, perhaps baba gaga will do the trick? I'm not entirely sure what you want to know.

Explanation:
Sorry, but you might have realised that I'm quite new to this forum and know yet know my way around the different commands. I only wanted to add a comment and had no idea that it's a "peer comment". I also don't know what a peer comment is. So, please forgive my ignorance as i'm still learning my way around.

neutral  Annika Neudecker: Sandra, welcome to the forum :-) With a "peer comment" you can "agree" or "disagree" with a translation one of your peer translators has suggested. If you're not sure if their translation is correct or want to add something, you can also choose "neutral".
