Hello all

OK,i am looking for a free webpage translator.I have tried some translators(google,etc),but they still have some/a dozen words in german.I am not to keen on cutting and pasting many sentences though,so actual page translators would be good.Thanks.

Colin

    Are you viewing a webpage that is in German?

    If so, why not just use Google Chrome and allow it to completely translate the page for you.

    Nur nicht den Krieg erw?hnen.

    We had some German visitors at work recently, and I couldn't help giggling on overhearing the word 'Achtung!' (said quite loudly) and wanted to shout 'Spitfeuer!'. But it wouldn't have been amusing. Not at all. I wondered if it was some kind of test... :D

    There will always be some untranslated (or dodgily translated) words/parts when using Google Translate or similar sites, you can't help it, it's still not sophisticated enough.

    Und die ganzen Sackgesichter wie etwa dm_boozefreek, die damit Zeug wie "pile of fat ****e" vom Englischen ins Deutsche ?bersetzen lassen, k?nnen das ja mal mit meinem Geschreibsel hier tun - und werden am Ende dennoch keinen Plan haben, was ich hier eigentlich verzapfe. Grund: siehe oben, zuviel Slang und anderer Krempel, an dem die ?bersetzungssoftware scheitert und den man vermutlich nur als Muttersprachler rafft.

    See?

    Oh, and if any of you scoundrels mention the war again, I'll start with German jokes. You have been warned! :p

    I'm sure there's something amusing here, but I can't be bothered to translate it, and my German is so crap I can only understand about 6 of those words :D

    My old German teacher in school was a bit of an odd one.

    His lessons generally involved the following...
    • Asking us what we had seen in the cinema recently. When we answered he would then excitedly insist we had been to a pornokino.
    • Asking us what was in our bags. He would then pick a random kid and rifle through his schoolbag shouting "pornoheft, pornoheft!"
    • Playing a German version of Simon Says where he would mime being a teapot and then mince around the classroom
    I dropped German.

    Ich bin damit ganz einverstanden - ich k?nnte das nicht besser erkl?ren; mein Deutsch ist in letzten J?hren wahrhaftig rostig geworden. Wie Schade :(

    I had fun with German in school.....my homework was usually done in red pen to annoy the teach(who was actually German) - she had to change pen to mark mine :lol: .......and when she did I generally got 0 out of whatever too.
    Hardly suprising when it mostly comprised of things like "Wo ist die gummi Nussknacker fabrik bitte?" - made me laugh anyway(and also made me fail German quite well).
