There will be large harmonic circulating currents between the generators.

It is general practice to ground the neutral of only one (usually the larger capacity) generator, leaving other neutrals floating.

Doesn't matter Mr. Tony! I enjoyed your translation. Perhaps yours is the language the OP will understand.
