greenstone Posted October 5, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 5, 2018 Dear colleagues, Tell me where can I find ship-modeling terms in German (for boat hulls) ? This is necessary for the correct translation of instructions. I would be very grateful for help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Griffith Posted October 5, 2018 Share #2 Posted October 5, 2018 Hey Greenstone, the first step would be getting a German to English dictionary. You could get them sometimes at second hand book stores (if any still exist in your area), or get one cheap on Amazon or ebay or Abebooks, If you get stuck, send me a list and I will translate them.

trippwj Posted October 5, 2018 Share #3 Posted October 5, 2018 Somewhere on this forum I think I shared a link to a German/French(?)/English nautical phrasebook. I don't have access to my digital archive at the moment (time to head off to the paying job) but will check into it tonight if I get the chance greenstone and Canute 2 Quote WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomwilberg Posted October 5, 2018 Share #4 Posted October 5, 2018 Hi, I would start with a copy of Cpt PAASCH - FROM KEEL TO TRUNK That is a multi-lingual dictionary of naval terms available in various editions. The smaller one ist in english french german and spanish, I think. The larger edition provides more languages. You may get reprints, originals and digitized version on the various channels Link: ( https://books.google.de/books?id=WiHnBAAAQBAJ&dq=paasch+from+keel+to+trunk&hl=de&source=gbs_navlinks_s) For the most questions, this should provide adequate answers. If you have questions left open, you may ask me. Best Thomas Hyposphagma, Canute, lmagna and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaager Posted October 8, 2018 Share #10 Posted October 8, 2018 For quick and dirty: Historic Ship Models Wolfeam zu Mondfeld has several pages - well 1 & 1/2 now that I look at it - at the back with Eng Ger Sp Fr It simultaneous translations for the more common terms.. A lot is packed into this book. Would not have believed that it is twice what I paid for a new copy.

wefalck Posted October 8, 2018 Share #11 Posted October 8, 2018 BTW, Harland was quite a learned person and his 'Seamanship' usually give the terminology in several languages plus some etymology of the terms. Zu Mondfeld was a journalist, wouldn't trust him too much on the terminology, always cross-check.

Richard Griffith Posted October 10, 2018 Share #12 Posted October 10, 2018 I agree with Wefalck. Mr. Harland understood several languages and his 'Seamanship' is one of my most valuable books. Zu Mondfeld put out an attractive book because it is full of illustrations which are useful and inspiring to beginners. However, his accuracy is spotty and in some cases inaccurate, so everything taken from his book MUST be cross checked. I sold the book.
