Well,

I'd second Frank's opinion. Of course 'Sende Message' is an 'ugly mutant', but I would even go so far to say a 'Nachricht' is not equivalent to a 'message' in this context (even if it's the literal translation). If I read 'Nachricht' in such a context I would think of a comment to someone else or something like an email. 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...

I think in such a context the English words are technical terms the same way we have Latin and Greek ones in everyday or scientific language, and it's a different topic from the (indeed problematic) increasing mixture of languages in everyday language.

Best Urs

some corrections for the german version though: ?Sende Message...? should be ?Sende Nachricht...?

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".
