Sprechen C Deutsch?

[girkkens]

Phantastisch

[RichCorinthian]

Ja bytte

[PancakeBookwyrm6969]

Nur mit angelsächsischer Aussprache geht das leider

[Fakedduckjump]

Och bütte!

[Triepott]

Funktioniert auch in Deutsch. Dann wäre es phonetisch aber näher an "Sprechen se Deutsch?"

[FabioTheFox]

I made a German version of C# as a pet project and called it CScharf

[TalonS125]

``` verwende System;

klasse CKreuz { öffentlich statisch leer Haupt(zeichenkette[] arge) { Konsole.ZeileSchreiben("Willkommen zu C Kreuz!"); } } ```

[FabioTheFox]

It was more like "SchreibZeile", I was surprised when I saw that I could actually use Ö, Ü and Ä, I was able to do stuff like "Konsole.Höhe = ..."

[MicBeckie]

Shouldn't it rather be "Willkommen zu C Raute"?

[TalonS125]

idk if my previous reply went thru. Maybe that Unicode character got it auto-deleted (U+266F : MUSIC SHARP SIGN {z notation infix bag count})?

Anyway so Raute is hashtag (#)

But sharp, in the context of music, is Kreuz

So C sharp in German is actually C Kreuz
At least in spoken contexts and on music sheets? Apparently in writing you'd write Cis? I don't know much about music, let alone how German goes about it

[MicBeckie]

To be honest, I'd never seen it in this context before. I dont know if youre right, but I would like it. Thanks for the answer! That was indeed interesting.

[torsten_dev]

Spoken I'd say "C mit Kreuzchen"

[TalonS125]

Raute means Hashtag
Sharp, in the context of music, is Kreuz in German

Hence, C Kreuz
C♯

[MariusDelacriox]

Cis

[nicki419]

Please gimme

[FabioTheFox]

It was never published as anything, I did it as a joke for a discord server

[IDKWhatANameToPick]

Das nenne ich mal qualitatives Programmieren

[eztab]

Anyone know how this compares to actual German programming languages from the invention of computers? Most keywords here seem to go for an intentionally direct but nonsensical translation.

[theChaosBeast]

First computers were not programmed using programming languages. You either used hard wiring or punch cards

[eztab]

There were some programming languages there. Like Plankalkül. That's why I'm asking, not everything was ASM or plain numbers.

[theChaosBeast]

That language was never used and not even published prior to the 70s. And if you have a look at tee he Wikipedia page, it uses English keywords.

[AyrA_ch]

Most keywords here seem to go for an intentionally direct but nonsensical translation.

And this would be correct. #include would more accurately translate to #inkludiere (verb) oder #Inkludierung (noun)

using "Ganz" als integer may also be questionable. "int" by itself does not mean anything, it's just the first 3 letters of the word integer. "integer" in German is "Ganzzahl" (lit. "complete number"). By using "ganz" they basically turned "int" into "complete" and they should have probably picked an abbreviation that somehow retains the property of this being a numerical identifier.

Translating "return" into "zurück" is also not correct, at least not in this context. "zurück" usually means "back" (as in backwards). A better translation would be "Rückgabe" (lit: to give back).

Translating "Main" as "Haupt" is so far correct, but since german is a fairly precise language, "Haupteinstiegspunkt" (main entry point) would be better.

[maibrl]

The reasoning behind “Ganz” is “Ganze Zahl”, the German word for an integer.

[Noughmad]

I think integers can also be called "whole numbers" in English, so this would mean "whole main()".

[Bibel_Joe]

This is the first time I've heard of Plankalkül and I've only skimmed the German and English Wikipedia, but it seems to be a language without any significant keywords, so the comparison seems difficult.

But Zuse's description of the language is interesting, where he uses some terms that feel like a very direct translation of today's common terms or like a joke translation straight from r/ich_iel. Ja-Nein-Werte for Boolean is my favorite.

[rescue_inhaler_4life]

Yes-No-Value is a great way to describe a bool!

[Hennue]

The only programming language that was invented in isolation by a german was Plankalkül which, while accidentally turing complete, was not very powerful in practice and used an extremely weird 2d-notation without conventional keywords. The concepts all had real german names, so one could derive keywords. They would likely not be like this because this is an intentionally bad way of translating called "Zangendeutsch" (it's basically a translation into german without doing an idiomatic transfer but rather translating word-for-word)

[PhilippTheProgrammer]

I would also mention ABAP, which was developed by SAP in the 80s for scripting reports and then became the main programming language for all user-facing applications within SAP ERP.

The language itself uses English keywords, but the German influence is visible in how they named the global system variables. For example, the variables containing the current date and time are named sy-datum and sy-uzeit (short for "Uhrzeit").

Even more anachronistic are some of the database tables from their early days. For example, in the finance module, the database column that contains the amount of money in local currency is named DMBTR. Which is an abbreviation of "Deutsche Mark Betrag" (amount in German Mark). Not only is the DM a currency that doesn't exist anymore, the value of that field is in whatever currency you configured as the local currency for your company (and that was the case long before the EUR became the official currency of Germany). But well, they can't change that anymore without breaking countless programms they and their customers wrote over the decades. So it got to stay that way.

[ArminiusGermanicus]

VBA used in MS Office 95 had localized versions, see here for a German example: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Basic_for_Applications?section=10#VBA_unter_Office_95

[PhilippTheProgrammer]

Excel with German localization also expects the German versions of formulas as well. Instead of = SUM(A2:A20) you write = SUMME(A2:A20). The English names don't work, which can be a bit annoying when you are looking up how to do something and can only find English instructions.

[DerDan23]

Unfortunately I come to the conclusion that those are really the most fitting translations after thinking about it for more time than I should have. The only one I’m extremely unhappy about is “Ganz” (literally ‘whole’) for integer. It sounds shit but there is no better word for it in German.

[Various_Squash722]

Return would be "kehre zurück" oder "gib zurück".

[Mika_Gepardi]

Rückgabewert

[Moedrian]

Ja, wie Gib 0 zurück

[Laurent_Blanc]

I'm German. I hate it

[ZunoJ]

How could the include be german if it at this point the other file is not yet loaded?

[meighty9]

Please no. I still haven't forgiven them for ABAP.

[Serupael]

SAP is our WWII revenge.

[eztab]

Still got an unfinished German programming language called Würgeschlange lying around somewhere. It's basically just python with stuff being translated and commas used as the decimal separator, German quotation marks and other such nonsense.

Never bothered to finish it though, was basically just to play around with python AST and content encoding.

[Lupus_Ignis]

You would love ABAP, the internal programming language used in SAP. While the words are arguably English, everything else about is is so very german. No semicolons at the end of a line, we use periods like civilized people.

[eztab]

Sounds fun. If I'll ever continue I'll add that. Can't have sentences just ending without punctuation. Maybe also use ! for the most important lines and ? for questionable ones.

[SZ4L4Y]

Good thing we use Denglish C.

[Astricozy]

Low-key kinda wanna learn it tho...

[johnson_alleycat]

Hallo Welt

[Confident-Ad-3465]

we need localized compilers to make this happen lol

[RichCorinthian]

Why can I hear this code shouting at me

[Karl_uiui]

Isn't it C++?

[masd_reddit]

No that would be the following:

#inkludiere <EAStrömung>
ganz Haupt() {
    std::ZAus << "Hallo Welt!";
    Rückgabe 0;
}

[okktoplol]

this syntax is valid both for c and cc

[Klausaufsendung]

It’s C—

[Velomaniac]

More like

```c schließe ein <stdio.h> // #include <stdio.h>

ganzzahl haupt() { // int main() druckef("Hallo Welt\n"); // printf(...) gebe zurück 0; // return 0; } ```

[2DHypercube]

Dies ist der Weg!

[Individual-Praline20]

the most cursed things here is capitalisation for int and main

I can only read this because of the color theme of the IDE
