    Note though that this only applies here because in the context of software development, these are actually all technical terms. In other contexts it may sound wrong to keep these specific English nouns and verb stems as is while it may also sound wrong for other words to be translated directly. Also note that most technical terms do have entirely valid direct translations that preserve the meaning, but they are often long and clunky to use in natural speech. Compile is a technical term with a concise direct translation, so we often use that one, but we often just use the English verb stem too.

    East Germany actually tried to translate all the English terms. In the GDR, CPU became ZVE (Zentrale Verarbeitungseinheit), Video RAM became BWS (Bildwiederholspeicher), ROM became Nichtflüchtiger Speicher, and so on. If Git had existed back then, we might have said something like „Ich habe meinen Entwicklungszweig mit der Zentraleinheit abgeglichen“, which actually sounds nice.

    In Hebrew there is a tendency to turn English verbs into an appropriate Hebrew form, which is done by dropping the vowels and putting the corresponding Hebrew instead, - e.g. "to compile" becomes "kampel", with some interesting forms like "compilation" - "kimpul"; "to debug" - "ledabeg". However not all words are suitable for such transformation, - producing such bizarre worlds as "merdjahdjti", "I merged", - so then there are two other strategies. First, there is in fact quite developed native vocabulary for computer terms, however when something is missing, or too confusing, the English verbs are turned into nouns - which is very easy in English - and each action is assigned a suitable verb, "to make", "to produce", "to build" etc, so instead of "merdjahdjti" it becomes "I made a merge", "asiti merge". Despite all of it, the general tendency is to replace the pigin vocabulary with the native one.

    • @holger_p

      If you permantently read the english terms in the software, of course your brain gets trained to use these words. It just adds some grammar rules, like suffixes to make it work in a sentence.

    Early IDEs and tools used to translate a lot into German, especially those made by IBM and MS I had the "pleasure" to use. MS even translated Visual Basic.
    This just intruduced pain and confusion, and many still prefer to use english language tools to this day to avoid such nonsense. In the end, the language of IT is English, and a branch is not a "Zweig" because it is a technical term and not a part of a tree in this context. And "to push" in GIT is not "drücken" because you are not at the Bahnofsviertel.

      Agreed, here in Sweden the most common languages in the tech sector are probably English and Swenglish. And I'd think almost all the Denglish words in the example sentence at the end would be the same loanwords in Swenglish ("cherrypicka en commit", "koden kompilerar", "deploya", "debugga" (though you could use the less common "avlusa"), "testerna failar" etc), except we do commonly use the swedish cognate "kod" to mean "code", as well as the verbed form "(att) koda" for "(to) code".

      The general way that Germanic languages (including Old/Middle English) handle the past participle of a verb with a native Germanic prefix is to not add ge-, as in verlieren -- > verloren. I'm not sure what German does with Latinate borrowings directly into German, and English had lost the ge- prefix entirely by the time it started borrowing heavily from French and Latin, but the logical thing to be seems to be to treat Latin prefixes borrowed via English just like native ones: reviewen -- > reviewt, deployen -- > deployt .

    Taking english words and saying them like they would be german is so hilarious, but mostly is because the actual translations just sound bad or off. But it's just funny how we just put a "ge" infront and sometimes some other letters to make it sound better. Some guys (including me) are actually saying the entire sentence in english because for me it just sounds of, like in the example, I would rather say, I pushed the branch instead of Ich habe den branch gepusht.
    Or for example, I would never say "Ich habe den Aufbewahrungsort abgezweigt" (I forked the repository). Some english nouns are actually becoming proper nouns in german such as "Repository", "Fork", "Branch", "Pull request", just to name a few.
    Sometimes I ask myself if that just happens to german or other languages aswell.

      nah. Wenn wir Verben eindeutschen (um im deutschsprachigen Umfeld zu kommunizieren), dann unterliegen die natürlich der deutschen Grammatik. Das heißt, "er hat es ge...t" und fertig. Manche Kollegen machen aber was wirklich ekelhaftes und schreiben: "gepushed" - also halb deutsch und hinten doch wieder halb englisch gebeugt.

    @HenryLoenwind Před 5 měsíci +5

    If you have to learn the meaning of a word anyway, why create a new local-language word for it if the original is perfectly usable? Someone who knows the normal meaning of the word "to push" will have to learn an additional new meaning for it in the context of version control. A meaning none of the translations of "to push" in other languages already have. Whoever coined "to push (version control)" could have chosen any word to attach the meaning to. We could very well say, "I quafrubbled the branch", if they had had the balls to create a completely new word instead of overloading a new one.
    So when translating the term, speakers of other languages have to answer the question, "Which word should we overload with this new meaning?" In some cases, they decide to use the translation of the word, adding the meaning to that, too. In other cases, they select another word that fits better. But mostly, they invent a "new" word by adopting a copy of the English word for that specific meaning.
    Note that Germans will use German words when talking about pushing a button, as the meanings used for "to push" and "button" already exist in the German language as "drücken" and "Knopf" (cognate to knob). "Push this button to push the branch" => "Drücke diesen Knopf um den Branch zu pushen".

    i have learned the german and the dutch office language and noted some interesting differences.
    To start with: this german overview of torturing the english language is very accurate.
    There are even jokes from the 90s where some computer language has been translated to literal german and it is not to understand. Just saying "Schlappscheibenschreiber" and "Fest-Scheibe Lese nur Errinerung"
    But for the dutchies, who are closer to english, have better profanity in english and tend to use more english in their daily life, i was astonished to learnt that in dutch software development offices they translate E_V_E_R_Y_T_H_I_N_G to dutch. There is a propper dutch word for every technical english term. memory is geheugen, office is kantoor, to save is opslaan, OS is bestuursysteem, a meeting is a vergadering, a key is a toets, a test is a toets and a note - you guessed it - is also a toets.

    • @steffahn

      Actually... floppy disk is "Diskette", read-only is "schreibgeschützt", hard disk is "Festplatte", memory is "Speicher". (So... hard disk read only memory would be "schreibgeschützter Festplattenspeicher", I guess.)
      Also, we have office "Büro", save "speichern", operating system "Betriebssystem", meeting "Besprechung", key "Taste", test "Test", and I'm not sure in what context you meant the word 'note', so I'll skip that one.

      You’d really have to ask a specialised linguist for a accurate answer, but I can assure you it sounds super dumb to me. My best guess is that this specific or any similar combination of syllables just usually doesn’t come up in German.

    • @Sturzfaktor2
      @Sturzfaktor2 Před 5 měsíci +22

      I think it could be because "de-" already sounds like a verb prefix, and adding "ge-" would feel like using a double prefix "ge-de-ployt". Verbs in general keep their prefix in the past participle, we don't add another one: bewegen -> bewegt, erlernen -> erlernt. Even though the "de" prefix is present only in loanwords like "destabilisieren" -> "destabilisiert". (Not a linguist though, could be complete bogus. 😅)

    • @Bolpat
      @Bolpat Před 5 měsíci +8

      ​​@@Sturzfaktor2It's not really relevant that it's a prefix, it's unstressed, which is why I say _reviewt_ (with a stressed oo sound for the iew) and not gereviewt (with stressed re).
      German has, prefixes aside, a strong tendency to stress first syllables in a word. Some prefixes take the stress and some don't, and there are even different prefixes that are spelled and pronounced equally except for stress: _um_ is the prime example. The stressed one means _over_ and the unstressed one means _around._ Stressed and unstressed verb prefixes behave differently in terms of discoupling: German splits the stressed prefix off in main clauses:
      _Ich lege es ab._ The verb is _ablehnen._
      _Ich belege es._ The verb is _belegen._
      The base verb _legen_ can be combined with loads of prefixes.
      French is the polar opposite in terms of stress. French words usually have the stress the last syllable of a word (and the last word of a sentence). This is enough to know how to fake a French accent. Say anything in any language of your choice, stress the terminal syllables and words, it'll sound French.

And the Finnish translations/terminology sounds so unnatural the more technical and modern the terminology becomes so you don't even want to use it. Yet it's kind of annoying to speak this half-english abomination of language too. But glad we're not the only one.

    @xcoder1122 Před 4 měsíci +1

    We don't say "weil die Tests failen", wir sagen schon "weil die Tests fehlschlagen". It doesn't make any sense to translate fixed terms that have a fixed meaning but "to fail" is a word that had a German translation long before there even was software. Also "to push the branch" would correctly translate to something like "den Seitenarm propagieren", as branch and push don't just have a one to one translation, both actually have over a dozen German equivalents and one translation of push is indeed propagieren and there are over 50 translations for branch. That's because German is a very eloquent language and we often have plenty of different words where other languages just have a single one and the actually meaning of that word must be derived from the context. So there's barely ever a one-to-one mapping of foreign words to German. But that's why we use the English terms: If you can translate something in 50+ different ways and everyone chooses a different translation, other people won't understand what you mean. This would only work if there was just one official translation that everyone would use and who would define that and where would it be published? Yet everyone knows the English terms for it, so there is no confusion when you use those terms.

    An obvious word to mention is download, or downloaden. However, it's clearly a separable verb in the past tense: "ich habe es downgeloadet". I very rarely hear it in the present tense, however. Probably because to be consistent with it being separable, you'd end up with "ich loade es down". Sounds really bad. Just like "wir sourcen das out"

      Ich esse eine Karotte (I eat a carrot - in exactly this order of the words)

    • @HenryLoenwind
      @HenryLoenwind Před 5 měsíci +6

      Not quite. The verb always is in the second position in the sentence. So, in your example, it'd still be "I eat carrot". However, if you introduce more elements to the sentence, it differs from English: "Today eat I carrot". The verb stays at the second position, so the "I" has to move back.
      It gets a bit more complicated when the verb is made from 2 words, like "have eaten". Then, one word stays in the second position, and the other part goes to the very end. "I have carrot eaten" or "Today have I carrot eaten". Or "Tomorrow will I carrot eaten have" if it's a 3-word verb (note how the order reverses for the words at the end as they are pushed there one by one).
      It's not overly complicated, but it will feel very unnatural for a non-native speaker. Also, the core of the verb can come very late in the sentence, even later if there's an insert or something like that, so you may need to peek ahead to make out the meaning of a sentence ("come" would be here if this was a German sentence!). However, Germans instinctually form their sentences to make the meaning clear enough, even without the verb, to compensate. That's especially important because that form is the most common in normal speech.

      Depends on where you are from exactly. The more southern you are, the more likely it is that the past tense is used. I.e. instead of using the word review as a direct translated word I used its direct German alternative for schauen (look at, peer or stargaze but in this context also check or watch). "Der Merge-Request ist bitte bis morgen zu reviewen" (The merge requests needs to be reviewed by tomorrow") as asked by my superior where I just replied with: "Ich habe mir den MR bereits angeschaut und Dinge angemerkt die mir aufgefallen sind" (I already reviewed the merge request and left some comments on what to improve upon"). As I find that "gereviewed" form in the Germanized usage rather strange I simply retype it with the German form "schauen". And here the usage of the past tense just feels more natural IMO.

      Als Perfekt (lateinisch [tempus] [praeteritum] perfectum ‚vollendete Zeitform‘), auch vollendete Gegenwart (Praesens perfectum) oder Vorgegenwart, in neueren Grammatiken auch Präsensperfekt genannt, wird in der deutschen Grammatik ein Tempus eines Verbs bezeichnet, das vollendete Handlungen und Vorgänge ausdrückt. Als Vorzeitigkeits­tempus drückt es im Verhältnis zum Präsens das zuvor Geschehene aus. In den deutschen Dialekten südlich des Mains und zunehmend in der Umgangssprache überhaupt, so auch in Film und Fernsehen, dient es als Ersatzform für das Präteritum, um generell abgeschlossene Handlungen auszudrücken. Es wird deshalb auch zweite Vergangenheit (kurz „2. Vergangenheit“) genannt.
