Aug 12, 2021 at 21:46 comment added RDBury @Noisha Studieren: I was trying give some advice on using the translator without actually answering the question. There is no simple rule for which English preposition corresponds to which German preposition, and that doesn't change when you put "which"/*da-* in front of them. I'm often unsure myself which preposition is correct, which is why I didn't want to give a full answer. In any case, I think the question needs further context to be sure, since the "in what" was not clear when you gave "wherein".
Aug 12, 2021 at 11:06 comment added guidot It remains unclear , what "type of sentence" you are talking about. You provide two main clauses, and offer a pronominal adverb (not preposition) to join them; none of the choices is convincing, and the English sentence seems to share this weakness already (even if talk could be a substantive as well - but not at the same time -, to give wherein a point of reference). Perhaps including a translation attempt would assist ro understand the question.
Aug 12, 2021 at 5:51 comment added Noisha Studieren @RDBury In case, we have to use "in which", then it will be wobei,dabei or darin?
Aug 11, 2021 at 20:15 comment added RDBury I think part of the problem is using "wherein"; it's not clear "in" what, and that may be confusing the translator. I would just use a semicolon: "I would like to talk about the food; I will talk about it's appearance, advantages and disadvantages." Perhaps "I would like give a talk about the food in which ... ." This is a figurative use of "in" though, and German and English often don't agree when it comes to figurative uses of prepositions.
