Actually I would prefer "Sende Message" even in German, as Message in Pd is more a technical term, which I wouldn't translate. At least
when talking about Pd in German, nobody I know says "Nachricht", everyone talks about "messages".I don't know about German, but maybe "Nachricht" is appropriate,
even if everyone is using "messages". It's a matter of deciding if using
English terms is a bad habit or necessary because our native languages are too "poor"... In Quebec, because we have a "Charter of the French
language", a public service translates computer terms to French and even find
new words, like "courriel" for email . Here's the web site: http://granddictionnaire.com/ -- Marc
yes, i think it's no excuse to use the english word for something
just because everybody does. since i lived in quebec for almost a
year i became much more aware of this... “Sende Message” is such an
ugly mutant of two languages, just like the one the kids in montreal
speak: ostie franglais.
bonne journée, Max
