i've been wrestling with blogger yet again. it seems not only does the damned age verification flash page stop the easy backing up of the blog, its also blocking any translator widgets i try to install.
so no one can easily access the page and have it converted into their own language as so many other blogs already do.
an idea came to mind that i could change the metatags to include more international terms but then i realized that its working well in english so why mess with it.
the plan now is to collect as many translations of key words and just put them in one of the posts.
please comment and add translations with english = " xxxx"
i do do gummi puppen is rubber doll so there's one.

Hi Asudem,
gummi puppen actually means "rubber dolls" in German
here's a bit of a dictionary
English German
________ ________
doll = Puppe (f)
dolls = Puppen
latex = Latex
rubber = Gummi
catsuit = Catsuit
whole-body
suit = Ganzanzüge
We also call these catsuits or zentai in English
stockings = Strümpfe
pantyhose,
tights = Strümpfhose
gloves = Handschuhe
corset = Korsett
Actually, it's „Strumpfhose“ not „Strümpfhose“. We don't habe Umlaute (e.g. „ü“) everywhere, mind you. ;-)
The word „catsuit“ is also used here.
And „Gummipuppe“ / „Gummipuppen“ (pl) is written as one word, as many words in german are constructed that way.
Besides, I like reading your blog in english. It's more authentic, in a way.
There is another term which is not correctly translated by Throughfare:
whole-body suit = Ganzanzug (sing)
whole-body suits = Ganzanzüge (pl)
and some more terms to add:
high heels = Stöckelschuhe (actually it means: hohe Absätze)
boots = Stiefel
mannequin = Schaufensterpuppe
Ok, so thats german covered i think.
how about French, Spanish and Italian? or even Japanese?
from the stats i can see i have a few readers from there - even Russia!

________ _____

rubber = caoutchouc
catsuit = combinaison, catsuit
unitard = combinaison
whole-body
suit = combinaison, zentai
stockings = bas
pantyhose = collant, collants (depends on region)
tights = collant, collants
gloves = gants
corset = corset
boot = botte
hood = cagoule
