            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

                          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).

                          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.

                            Is "zu" totally out of the question? "Zu" would be the corresponding preposition in Swedish (but probably totally wrong in German - Germans tend to point their fingers at me and giggle when I speak German :rolleyes:) -- Pictures[^] from my Japan trip.

                                        Please reply and in your native language (or current country of residence) tell me how you would say: "Welcome to CP." Obviously, english speakers need not reply. :-D

                                        Hi Frog, In German we would say 'Willkommen bei CP' or in the country I come from (Switzerland) this would be in one of the dialects 'Willkommä bi CP'. Regards Daniel

                                          koduprojekto e yokoso (could be kodunoprojekto e yokoso too, I imagine) I suppose one could say koduprojekto ni yokoso as well. As a rule of thumb, "e" says that the object is already in a certain place, while "ni" says that the object is more of a directional/transitional preposition - like "to" in "I'm going to the cinema". I might have got it backwards. It's been 8 months since I studied any japanese. :-O Sorry for the lack of kana and kanji, but I don't have the time right now to dig up the html/unicode entities.
