Could someone translate German for me please?

April 14, 2003 9:00:35 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I received this e-mail today but I don't understand German I'm afraid.....anyone know what it says?

Hallo boxxi!

Ich habe mir dein GridscapeDX xpTheme heruntergeladen und muss sagen: Respekt ist wirklich extrem gut!!!

Ich habe eine Frage, und zwar: Kann ich, wenn ich zB auf "Recycle" links oben klicke, machen, dass es den Papierkorb mit einem einfachen Klick und nicht mit einem Doppelklick öffnet??? wenn ja, wie?

mit freundlichen grüßen

Thanks in advance......

Hello boxxi! I downloaded myself your GridscapeDX xpTheme and must say: Respect is really extremely good!!! I have a question,: Can I, if I e.g. click on "Recycle" on the left of above, make that it the waste-paper basket with a simple click and not with one doubleclick opens??? if, how? Yours sincerely etc...

That's how it translates

At least you were honest, "Snarph" and didn't try to fake like you knew German. Translators do not make us masters of any language!

My German is ancient and rusty, but I thought he told you he really likes that theme a lot, but he wishes he could single-click on (for example) the trash bin, instead of having to double clicking it (sounds like he wants to generalize that to other aps). If there is a way to change that, how?

He only wants to know if he can set the recycle bin in the theme to left click instead of doubleclick.
(As said above)

I think he has problems figuring out that he can set dx's behaviour on mouse-clicks. Should I write to him, BoXXi ?

As a side note : I see an uprizing amount of german people that use Stardock programs but can't understand them fully... Often thought about doing a german translation of some documentation and stardock pages or even doing a german forum for that purpose (with agreement of Stardock of course), but I also have a 'real life' that is a much important to me.

Styl skinner : I really was able to improve my knowledge of the english language by making friends over the internet and actually meeting them and speaking to them. And I had english as a main course in school for 8 years... Not everyone had that possibility and education, so I am very patient with that. And something to think about : Most citizens of our eastern states (former German Democratic Republic) that left school before the re-union never had any english at school (they had to learn russian mostly).

It's rather silly to expect everyone to speak English. But hell, we get by fine this way, no?

It's quite amusing, though, how native English speakers can't seem to follow English with a German word order (verbs can go at the end of the sentence).

Yeah, craeonics. Amusing. And amazing. And here I'd thought Yoda'd taught us so much about word order....

The problems with English is. It's not really it's own language in the first place. It's a bunch of languages put together to make a new one. Most of it seems to be around latin. At least by what I've been finding as I look at things. That is the reason it's a pain in the ass to translate another language into English. It's like Hebrew to English. 1 word could mean several things. And 1 letter makes it a new complete opposite word. I'm trying to think of a example for the Bible translation but I forget. I think it delt with water was one of them. Like where some stuff was located. The seas. Something like that. It's been a long time since I've studied anything around that. Too busy with other stuff

Ok, I've said what I wanted.

Weaksid walks away.

My impression of the question was if some way to set the Wastebasket to simply open when clicked on instead of dbl click opening it. Been yrs since spoke or read german tho so my translation is prolly botched

I thought he said that he wanted to dump the contents of his wastebasket on your head....

Of course, my German is more than a little rusty...

craeonics drags Weaksid back in here to point him at this: http://home.wanadoo.nl/arjenbolhuis/language-family-trees/11.gif (English = Germanic, not Roman/Latin)

I believe Latin filtered down into a lot of languages. At one time, the Roman culture was the dominate culture of the so called 'civilized' world and, as a result, it's words became emeshed into other cultures.

Not that that amounts to a hill of beans

Carl: I don't understand what he means. All the shortcuts in the Gridscape theme work with a single click. Unless he means that he wants the recycle bin to empty on a single click, instead of just opening it as a new window?

If you don't mind e-mailing him for me I would appreciate that. His address is my_lord666@hotmail.com

Thanks Carl.

Hmm. He specifically asks about opening the trash can with a single click instead of a double click. Nothing about emptying it.

And yep, that's my new skin. Nice huh?
