Just finished german translation of the two new tutorials:


Maybe that helps some newcomers.

In the menu you'll find all the other Go documents I translated over the years. I tried to keep them up-to-date.

I don't know about using the word "Kode" in German. I've never seen it different than with c as in English. Whatever, you took a big effort and did a very nice job. Thank you!

The authority on German Orthography, duden.de, recommends the writing Code but allows Kode as well.

Thanks for your comments. It's nice when one's work is appreciated.
About choice of words, have a look at the "Wörterliste". The link is in the box at the top.
About Spelling: that seems to be a question of age. I learnt the word "Kode" long before I came across computers (but I do use "Computer" in german sometimes).

"Kode" really seems nonstandard to me. It really pops out. I'd definitely spell it "Code" in German and even then it seems like colloquial usage. I'd prefer Quellcode or Quelltext or Programm. 
"Kode aus einem externen Paket rufen" should really be "aufrufen" no matter how you feel about "Kode" :)

Are you looking for help with the translations? I'd be happy to work with you on them for a while. Is there a repo anywhere?

Hello Tim.

Translating, that's a hobbyhorse I ride now and then.
(Learn something new about Go and improve your English and German in parallel! ;-)

No, sorry. There is no public repository. The private one right here under my desk is ... well ... private.

Now, about you taking up translating: that's a great idea. Many of the Go documents could be worth the effort; the blog posts about modules come to mind. (Write to me off-list if I can be of any help; email address is in the top box of any of the translations.)

(BTW there had been a german version of the Tour of Go from 2015 by one Michael Faschinger, but alas, that seems to be no longer accessible.)

I'm still thinking about rufen vs. aufrufen; since it's not only about calling functions but about exported types and variables as well, the appropriate word could be "benutzen". (Changes will be in the next release; following Go 1.17.)

So long
HaWe

I agree that Quellcode or Quelltext are the best transalations IMHO other than just using Code

Anyhow, if I hear how young people are talking nowadays, it makes me sick. Die Funktion wurde "gecalled" und die Exception "gethrown". Sometimes I fear the next generation will not have learned to watch what their mind is doing. I might be wrong. I hope so.

It sounds like life imitating art.

That somehow reminds me of one of my professors in university who (probably on account of his near-retirement age) insisted on calling recursive descent parsers "rekursive Abstiegszerteiler".
