Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Thought about it briefly; but it sounded too much like work to do on a Sunday.

I was amused, but your (misleading) title sounded like you were going to discuss some musical Porn.

Maybe but the UI made me give up after two pages

TWO PAGES???? 
wow... that's a really big amount. after reading the first one I've closed the web browser.

I do agree that the UI isn't the best. Some of the comics are funny, though. Some are... well... strange. And some are just 'huh?' inducing.

What a marvelous idea[^].
However I would like a different shape, something a bit more suited to coders[^]. Perhaps something in the shape of Texas[^] ; but my whish is to find a bob (![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) ) waffel iron.

I thought it was bacon mixed with the waffle dough.
not simply bacon cooked in a waffle "cooker".
I'd rather be phishing!

Brilliant - I know there are instructions to make extra good and something rosti, but I'm too ignorant to read anything else in the sentence.

The translation is pretty good, though it does suggest to "tear the potatoes": the viking spirit is alive and well.
Also I had a linked article with the disconcerting title "Test Liverpaste" which I assume means "Liver Pate [Taste] Test"

I just tried Bing translate, it got a number of things making some more sense.
You'll have to try that one yourself. Bing doesn't have a permalink to the translation (that I can find).

I remember myself participating in many such proposals that I had an interest in. Hinduism (link[^]) site was one of them. The problem actually isn't only to take it out of the commitment, the good thing of bringing the website online (as a public site) is to show a good and positive response while the site is in beta stage. Most of the sites and these proposals are closed in beta stage if there is no; or less, public support.
Good luck for German people and those who understand and feel at home, in German language.

Thanks for your insights!
I'll try my best to keep the beta version alive.

Very much wishes for you for that. Although you might get luckier in doing so, if you continue to share your links (to that beta website) to your friends, colleagues and other buddies who love to use Stack Overflow and are looking forward for a German version of that website.

The problem "Lost in translation" is a killer issue. English => German
German-speaking programming community => deutschsprachige Programmierergesellschaft
Do you really want that "Denglish" a la "Windoz Händie"?
Press F1 for help or google it.

The problem I see with a localized version is that you're limiting the amount of people (developers) who can possibly help you out when you've got a question. Questions in German can only be answered in German. Therefore, while not a bad idea, I don't really see the benefit in it. English is the universal language across developers from all over the world and personally I expect from everyone who can learn and master a programming language to have decent skills in the English language to be able to communicate with each other without too much trouble. Most of the technical documentation (SDKs, Whitepapers, Specifications, etc.) is only available in English anyways. You can reach many more developers in English than in German.

I agree with you.
I strongly believe that you guys (German) are awesome people with good knowledge.
If you have a problem, why not ask it to the world?
If you are to share your knowledge, why not share it to the world, rather than only sharing it for German community?
