Every time I buy a new electronical gadget I get a booklet in at least seventeen languages. Sometimes I study them, sometimes I'm too busy. Just as a curiosity: the chocolate milk I have in front of me right now is multilingual in Danish, Norwegian bokmål, Swedish and Finnish - and it has been produced in Germany, but there is no German explanations on it. "Low fat chocolate milk" in Finnnish is "maitokaakaojuoma".
There are also technical wordlists or even dictionaries on the internet, but you can't be sure that they can keep up with the technical development. I have personally a related problem in the MS Office suite, where my menus are in Danish and I have to use Danish commands when I write macros (which is part of my job) - but most of my sources and my best sources on the internet refer to menus and commands by their English names. By the way, I could have followed the series "Borgen" on TV. However reality in Danish politics is just as absurd as any TV series, and I get more than enough of it by watching the news.

PREPARAZIONI PER IL LAVORO TCHNICO
IT: Per il nuovo lavoro devo essere capace di comprendere manuali technici nelle mie lingue (senza Esperanto!!!) Per questo vorrei comminciare a leggere... Una settimana fa ho comprato una webcam: Logitech HD C525 e questa webcam ha un manuale nelle lingue: - tedesco - inglese - francese - Italiano Non c'è lo spagnolo ni l'olandese. Ma comunque io ho stampato il manuale nel francese ed Italiano. Ci sono anche altre lingue che io non parlo... Per dare il esempio di un manuale: Il manuale della mia webcam in 10 lingue Fasulye 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hi Fasulye,
So I see you're going to become an expert on webcams. Will it be shift work? Have you seen The Killing (Danish title Forbrydelsen, meaning "The Crime"). It was shown on the BBC recently and was a huge hit. There was also some controversy about the translation of the subtitles. The viewers found some of the subtitling offensive which resulted in the toning down of the swear words, which in turn led to complaints that the translation wasn't accurate. Anyway I enjoyed hearing Danish spoken although I understood very little. Highly recommended. Tournesol 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hi Tournesol,
That's of course exaggerated, I only want to pick up some relevant vocabulary in Italian and French technical manuals. The BBC programs aren't available on the cable in Germany, I only have got BBC World. So I have no chance to watch "Forbrydelsen", it would only make sense to me to watch it in Danish with subtitles to learn something from it. Fasulye 1 person has voted this message useful | |

MIJN WERK EN TALENSTUDIE NL: Elke werkdag kom ik nu thuis om 18:30 uur en ik ben helemaal uitgeput, dus ik ben 's avonds eigenlijk niet instaat om nog iets zinvols te doen. Als ik wat wil studeren dan moet dat in de ochtenden gebeuren voordat ik naar mijn werk ga. Momenteel moet ik heel veel technische kennis opdoen over allerlei "gadgets", dus dat moet in dan in de ochtenden voor werktijd nog eens doornemen. Vandaag heb ik als taak op mijn werk wat technische handleidingen in het Nederlands doorgelezen. Ze waren maar kort, dus het waren niet zoveel pagina's. Als ik geluk heb dan kan ik in een ochtend met mijn MP3 - player wat Deens beluisteren uit mijn leerboek. Maar echt inspannende talenstudie zie ik deze week niet kunnen doen.

Another congratulation on getting the job! Hopefully they'll allow you to have the time off to take part in your Dutch class, especially as it would be good for your job... Some companies even pay for classes... That would be wonderful for you too :o)
Good luck in your new job! I'm sure you'll do brilliantly :o) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thanks, WentworthsGal!
I have to use Dutch for my job, but I am a learner of Danish. So on those days of my Danish course I will have to work one hour earlier. Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 19 January 2012 at 6:33am 1 person has voted this message useful | |
