Actually I usually call them by their tribal names, I live near the Mescelero Apache, I used to live near the Zuni, Dine (Navajo) and Teewan (Pueblo) tribes. Few tribes actually are called their native names for themselves, mostly because their name for themselves almost always translate to English as "The People". Most are named by what the native guides called them, or the Spanish explorers. I believe Navajo means something like "farms in Arroyos" and was in the days of Spanish explorers considered synonomous with "insane". I could easily look up "Welcome to" in any of those languages, I even have a book on Teewan from the Isleta Pueblo somewhere around here... but proper noun/verb usage I wouldn't know. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

In my native tongue (Malayalam - it's a palindrome too), it would be :- Code Project ilekku swagatham. But most people would just say, Welcome to the Code Project. Some of the older folks often complain how kids don't speak proper Malayalam and instead use a mix of Malayalam and English words together. Regards, Nish

In Spain they have four official languages: Castellano Catalan Galish (or something) baskish (or something) The most common Spanish language is Castellano which is still different then Mexican or Latin-American English although they do understand each other (mostly :-D) No hurries, no worries.

That question is similar to asking whether the language spoken in the US is called American or English. We call it English, but pronounce it differently than the British. The Spaniards pronounce their version of Spanish differently than the version that originated in Castile and was brought to the Americas. The most obvious difference is the pronounciation of the letters C and Z. Ask someone from Spain to say these two words: Zapato (shoe) Cepillo (brush) They will sound like, "Thapatto" and "Thepeeyo". But someone from Latin America will pronounce it, "Sapatto", and "Sepeeyo". I guess the Castilians got tired of the constant spitting. :-) Regards, Alvaro

In danish: "Welcome to CP" : Velkommen til CP "Codeproject" : "Codeproject" - unlike swedes (hoooouuudii booouuddiiii bok bok..... nice one, Jörgen :-D ), french and germans, we don't necessarily translate _everything_, like "computer" ("dator") and "codeproject" ("kodprojekt"). There are, for some of the computer related terms, old danish translations - but mostly we use the english word. Take for example "harddrive" or "harddisc". We just call it "harddisk". Danglish. But we also have the term "fastpladelager", which directly translated is "hard-drive-storage". The gernams have "fest-platte-speicher" which is the exact same and I believe the french have something similar. Maybe they have more "modern" translations they use on a day-to-day basis ? Do you know why it's important to make fast decisions? Because you give yourself more time to correct your mistakes, when you find out that you made the wrong one.

In France, l'Académie keeps trying to prevent the English terms from being used, and instead invents its own, but they don't always succeed. For example, "computer" is "ordinateur", "software" is "logiciel", but "hard disk" is "disque dur" (a literal translation of hard disk). --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | NEW!!

:laugh: I guess you don't know I'm spanish. Thepeeyo :laugh: It's true, it's pronounce like that. Seriously, what i wanted to know is the name of the language (Español or Castellano). I were discussing with a friend about that some days ago. He said that the real name is Español, but I thought it was Castellano. The truth is that Español is the name of the language everywhere, while Castellano is what we speak here in Spain. Thepeeyo :laugh: Regards

in German: "Willkommen zu CP" a programmer is just a tool which converts coffee into code

not necessarily, at least in Austria we use most of the English words too. And the correct word would be "Festplatte", but we sometimes use "HD" too. I wouldn't say that there are too many German words for all the computer - related stuff. I'm no big fan of German translations of movies and technical books, but there is some demand for it.. and so they sadly translate both. (Prefer the dutch way of having the original voices with dutch subtitle). One small episode: was reading a German translation of the "c++ programming language" and was wondering what the really meant with "Vorlage".. until I took out my dictionary and it said template. Pretty sad that it's easier for me reading programming related stuff in English (and mostly it is more up-to-date too).
All the label says is that this stuff contains chemicals "... known to the State of California to cause cancer in rats and low-income test subjects."

I know what you mean. I have a hard time using localized applications, as I've grown accustomed an english nomenclature. I remember using the swedish version of photoshop for the first time. Took me well over 10 minutes to find the "crop" function. :doh: -- Pictures[^] from my Japan trip.
