Hm, "if" and "would" doesn't work together by the way.
"If you like to buy..." would be more appropriate actually.

"If you would like to buy..." is the correct English way. :)

"If you like to buy the German version...."
What? How is that more appropriate? That's improper English.

I think it works best as it is.

For example.

"I like to buy the German version of vBulletin. I do all the time"

or

"I would like to buy the German version of vBulletin. I shall do so right away"

Take your pick.

Well, both sides are right. Initially (!), it wasn't proper english, read up in your english books if you forgot. However, as I have been told by a friend of mine, the Americans etc. enjoy "stretching" those rules, so it became correct.

And CeleronXT: nope, that is correct english.

Have you thought of mediating the U.S. / Iraqi dispute?

"If you like to buy..."

That is not the proper way, but you can say "If you'd like to buy..."

then that'll make sense.

I think we're going in circles here.

if you'd = if you would
