braucht ein Engländer die Maße nicht in Inches, Feet oder sonstwas?

I was taught in feet and inches but feet and inches haven't been taught in schools here for many years. Now, I use both these and centimetres, sometimes together!

In feet und inches war ich habe gelehrt, aber in hier gelehrten Schulen sind feet und inches nicht mehr für viele Jahre. Jetzt benutze ich sowohl diese als Zentimeter, manchmal zusammen!

@playmofireuk:
Das wird wohl eine neue Feuerwache mit Rolltor(en)!?


Gibt es eine günstige Quelle für das Teil (falls man 2-3 oder mehr? für eine Feuerwache benötigt)?

That was my idea, but the building is a bit short - it only just takes the 3880.

The parts can be bought from Playmobil Direct Service.

Meine Idee, die war, aber das Gebäude ist ein bisschen kurz - es die 3880 nimmt nur.

Von Playmobil Leitet Dienst, den die Teile gekauft werden können.

Hi Gordon

what kind of translation program do you use?

Hi Gordon

what kind of translation program do you use?

kind regards
Sven

I use this one:

http://www.freetranslation.com/

Is it not working well, Sven? I've tried various ones but found they're pretty much the same. Freetranslation does offer an option of a better translation for a small annual fee and I'm thinking of taking this up. I write what I want to say in English in the post but in the translator I rewrite it with German construction, the verb at the end, as this seems to give a better result. I do know that it can give odd translations - the words "fire investigation unit" were translated as "fire the investigation unit"!

What translator would you recommend, Sven?

Hi Gordon



honestly, I am not very familiar with translation programs
(as you know, I normally use my brain [no disrespect])

I just noticed that this program produces odd results in nearly every 2nd sentence (at least in this thread).
(I admit - my brain also produces odd results sometimes )

I just checked the program you use and tried some simple and some complex phrases.
Interestingly the results are not as bad as expected.

I also checked some of the phrases you used:
"That was my idea, but the building is a bit short - it only just takes the 3880. "
is translated to:
"Das war meine Idee, aber das Gebäude ist ein bisschen kurz - es nimmt nur die 3880 (auf)."
(the red add-on is added by me and does clarify the meaning)
which is quite good and much better than:
"Meine Idee, die war, aber ...."

and:
"I was taught in feet and inches but feet and inches haven't been taught in schools here for many years. Now, I use both these and centimetres, sometimes together! "
is translated to:
"Ich wurde in Füßen und Zoll gelehrt aber Füße und Zoll sind in Schulen hier für viele Jahre nicht gelehrt worden. Jetzt benutze ich sowohl diese als (auch) Zentimeter, manchmal (beides) zusammen! "
(the red add-on is added by me and does clarify the meaning)
which is also very good (considering it is done by a translation program)

same here:
"The parts can be bought from the Playmobil Direct Service." (I added the "the")
-> "Die Teile können vom Playmobil Leitet Dienst gekauft werden."
(the program fails to note "Direct" as a part of the noun "Direct Service" and instead does translate it as the verb "direct" - this mistake can be avoided by using the german spelling "Direkt Service")
-> "Die Teile können vom Playmobil Direkt Dienst gekauft werden."


summary (again, no disrespect):
maybe it would be better to NOT correct the translated phrases



(anyway - I understand your english perfectly well )

No offence taken, Sven. I usually translate my English into German using the translator and then back into English, again using the translator, to see how the original and the translation from the German match up. It was doing this that led me to restructure the sentences I translated into German to reflect more the German structure. However, a little knowledge can be a bad thing!

I used the words "feet" and "inches" because inches was translated as Zoll, which is customs.

Hi Gordon

I think the problem with this procedure is that if the program does produce a translation-error in the first time it will increase/multiply the error if you translate the already translated sentence the second time backwards.

The idea itself is clever - unfortunatley the program is not.

also, a common saying is that german is a complicated language
(which I can neither approve nor deny - it is my mother tongue)

kind regards


PS:
"Zoll" is the correct german term for english "inch" (= 2,54cm)

PPS:
isn't this funny: we communicate with each other on 3 or 4 boards meanwhile

I think you're right, Sven, it's better to let the translator translate and I'm afraid I do little communicating in German, you are the great communicator of the two of us as you speak and write more languages.
