User:Coffee addict23
Welcome to my user page!
This is the user page of "Coffee addict23". I guess my username is quite self-explanatory. I'm a total coffee addict and I could never start a day without at least 2 cups of coffee. I'm taking part in the course "Translating wikipedia" at the university of Freiburg where we will be translating articles from German to English and from English to German.
"When I went to school they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "Happy". They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon
Articles that might be interesting to translate:
Günterstal - around 2000 words (hasn't been translated into English so far)
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schauinsland - around 2000 words
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldsee_(Freiburg_im_Breisgau) - around 1700 words (hasn't been translated into English so far)

Work Log:
Currywurst text:
- The German text was 155 words long and my translation was 197 words long.
- it took me around 50 minutes to translate the text
- words such as "Fleischerinnung", "Berliner Verkehrsauffassung", "Allgemeine Fleischerzeitung" or "Fremdwasserzusatz" were hard to translate and couldn't be found in the dictionary
- therefore, I had to keep the German word or come up with an alternative translation
Schauisland text:
- The German text was 277 words long and my translation was 340 words long
- it took me around 2 hours to translate the text
- together with the other members of my group we proofread my part and it took us around 30 minutes
