I read your note about German native speakers. What is in it for me if I help you with your German site?

Christoph,



Well right now I just need someone to take a spot check at the home page and a few other pages. Just take 5 minutes look at this and tell me if you think, yes or no, this is a good translation. The new site is [url http://visitor:[edited]/]here[/url]



We'll throw $20 into your account to say thanks. ;-)

The translation is pretty good. I wood replace the word "redundante" with "überzählige" or "freie". But the Umlauts (ä,ö,ü,etc.) don't show up on the website and that is a real negative.

Hello,



Thanks! Yes the umlauts are present in my source code, but they don't show on the web page. I'm starting to realize I need to specify this on MY END, telling your browser which character set.



It is using UTF-8 which is American, UK...



I think we need to use ISO Latin-1...

I figured it out.. I had to add a "meta" tag to the html file.

What about using "Auktion sniper" instead of auction sniper?

I would suggest Auktions-Sniper (all nouns iin German start with a capital).

Ok thanks!



Here's the question I should have asked. If you were on Germany Google, what would you type into the search box, if you were looking for a snipe service"



In america the big keywords are:

ebay snipe

snipe ebay

ebay sniper

auction sniper

ebay sniping

ebay snipe service

etc.

My suggestion "überzählige" shows up as überzählige on my screen.

As I am not in Germany I would have to ask a friend. But this is now turning into professional advice.

No problem you were a great help, I already added your $20, I sure appreciate it!!



On your suggestion "überzählige", yes thank you, I think the translator used iGoogle as a starting point.



We want to get across the idea that we use multiple computers.



Enjoy the service, let us know if you have any trouble.

It seems that sniping is banned according to the German ebay rules. Suggestions for phrases: Bietservice, Bieten in letzter Minute, Last Minute Bieten, Last Minute Gebot, Bietautomat, Gebotsautomat, automatisch bieten, automatisches Gebot, all connected with ebay if you want.

Hi,



Thanks again.



Yes sniping has been banned in Germany for quite some time. I do not know why. Sportsmanship issues perhaps.



That is why we translated the site to German first. ;-)

The $20 do not seem to show up in my account. Can you check?

Thanks again, was a bug, if you had snipes AND free balance.
