German?
posted Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 04:30 PM (#844)
Can anyone tell me what the German says in today's strip? I would go to Babelfish and translate it, but I can't type all those special symbols, and if I use Character Map, I'm not sure if it will work.. I figured it would be easier to ask here.

Thanks.

It says: "If I hear this shit music, I vomit special sauce." Or something to that effect.

Just so you know, when using the English alphabet to type German, you can replace the "special" symbols as follows:

Replace a umlaut-vowel (such as the o in the 5th word) with the vowel followed by an e.

Replace the s-set character (the Greek beta looking thing; the 6th character in the 4th word) with two s's.

So the sentence could be rewritten: "Wenn ich diese Scheissemusik hoere, ich erbreche mich spezielle Sosse", which Babblefish can translate.

Hey, thanks for the tips. :) It makes a little more sense now.
