Wie sagt man “You should not have gone to work” auf Deutsch? @mthomas: Good point; I was thinking that Du sollst nicht gehen would translate as You shall not go. But sollst and solltest don’t directly correspond to the English shall and should. |

Wie sagt man “You should not have gone to work” auf Deutsch? @Em1: Doesn’t Du solltest nicht gehen translate as You should not go? That has a different meaning from You should not have gone. (With the former, you haven’t yet gone and the advice is that it will be better if you don’t; with the latter, you did go but it would have been better if you hadn’t.) |

Localization Help @Em1: 1.0.0 in English becomes 1.2.3 in German? There’s more to this translation game than I thought... |

What is the literal meaning of “Hau ab!”? @Cass: There are plenty of English alternatives to “go away” before you get to the vulgar stuff: “get lost”, “on your bike”, “beat it”, “scram”, “trot on”… |
