Template:LSL Function/inventory/de

Hey I saw you ported Template:LSL Function/inventory/de, but I noticed you used the Template:AAn which is an English auto grammar template. I don't know if German has the same A/An grammar quirk. -- Strife ^{(talk|contribs)} 04:35, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Ah, you're right. It was the last thing I did before going to bed and then I forgot about it again. We don't have the exact same quirk but a similar problem. Depending on the "gender" of the noun, we'd use "ein" or "eine". Sound (Geräusch) is male and requires "ein Geräusch" (or "no sound" would be "kein Geräusch") while Texture (Textur) is female and requires "eine Textur" (or "no texture" would be "keine Textur"). I'm not yet able to see an easy work-around since there is no way to detect the "gender" of a noun via the string functions. So I think I'll just write "ein(e)" and "kein(e)" instead of adding additional parameters to the template or having a lookup again. Thx for reminding!

Deutsche in SL

Hi Zai, I'm about to update this article Deutsche in SL - Wo sind denn die Deutschen. Now I am wondering if it should be called "Deutsche Sprache in SL - Wo sind denn die Deutschen, Oesterreicher und Schweizer?" and if so I really will need some help with routing this article or however this is done ;)

BTW, thank you for removing the drama hehe --Torben Trautman 16:24, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Heyas Torben! =)

I think that there is a more up-to-date version of this notecard in the German Linguists pavillion at SLVEC. It should be in the notecards backpack.

@Content and naming: That might be a neat idea (can even write Österreicher with the Umlaut)! Though I got to admit that I'm not really connected to the German speaking community and therefor won't be able to give much input. But I'll have a look around and send you my findings. Besides that, the article should contain that even though there are places where lots of German speaking people are gathered together, many are integrated in the English speaking community.

@Drama: very welcome ^_^

huhu Zai, ich hab da jetzt was zusammengebastelt: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Torben_Trautman/Sandbox Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, diese Content-Box dauerhaft auszublenden oder ganz wegzumachen? --Torben Trautman 16:34, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
