I am having trouble with your language. Is there a FAQ dealing with the
200 most important German-Enlish translations in order to discuss ISO C?
I'm just going to start, and if anyone would like to tell that there really
isn't a word for 'directory' then bitteschoen

int int
windows windloecher
windows <-> Fenster
window <-> Fenster
Windloecher <-> air-pockets
Different things.

is a dictionary that konws about IT.
bill gates <-> Klageschrifttore. :-)
bill <-> Klageschrift, Rechnung
fools <-> Tore (plural)
fool <-> Tor (singular)
door <-> Tor
gate <-> Tor, Tür
You'll notice that the first entry seems to be the same on left and
right. It would be a cognate if there weren't initially a Fachbereich. Man
heisst ints ints--anstatt Zahlen--weil man sich mit der lingua franca
zurechtmacht. The second enrty is herewith #defined. MPJ
int -> short form of integer
integer <-> Ganzzahl
integer <-> integrity
I just read this over and realized how funny the reply to the mispost was.
It does bring up a couple serious questions. I would like there to exist an
exact replication of Mr. Summit's FAQs in the major scientific languages. I
tried your online dictionary for the word 'executable' and did not get an
option for a noun. To schmutz up German by simply borrowing the English
does not only disservice to spoken languages but to C as well.
What I was getting at with int and Zahlen is that the representation of the
integers as a cap script Z does derive from deservedly-influential German
mathematicians.
If the FAQs existed in other languages, one could do a search to find a
word, and more importantly, find a context for it. Certainly, other
languages would have their own FAQs in addition. Mr Summit might want to
know that the fella who does the german faqs was having trouble with the
technical aspects of making them magically appear every two weeks. MPJ
