      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.

        I would prefer "Willkommen bei Codeproject" "bei" means "at" and "auf" means "on"

        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.

                    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.

                                          "you're welcome" is just an english idiom for saying acknowledging a "thank you". It's not a greeting as in "Welcome to CP". :) doitashimashite is for acknowledging a thank you. yokoso is greeting. :)
