It's the same with books on programming languages. I am always frustrated with books that translate the technical terms (for example 'member' (of a class) to 'Mitglied') because I basically have to re-translate it to know what it means...
Off-topic: The german version of the SICP book even translated the example program texts - like "(sende-nachricht 1 2)" -, which in LISP is actually possible and could make sense, however I think, it still stinks. ;)
für German, it makes more sense to use the Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) as commonly used in Forth, PostScript, and HP calculators. e.g.:
1 2 sende-nachricht
but if in English RPN you do, Yoda you will sound like.
