I am a German user of Audacity. When using the recent version 3.7.5 of
Audacity I questioned myself what a "Regalfilter" is. (To be found under
"Effect > Steve Daulton") It is true: The english word "shelf" in the
sense of a sawn timber board on the wall is called a "Regal" in german.
But what is called a shelf-filter in filter theory cannot be translated
word by word to be understood. If you ask in german Wikipedia what a
"Regalfilter" is, you get no result. You better name a shelf-filter a
"Kuhschwanzfilter" in german. A "Kuhschwanz" is a cows tail. The
terminus is chosen because the frequency response of the filter
resembles in double-logarithmic diagrams the bent tail of a cow.
I hope I could contribute a little bid to Audacity's usability in the
german version.
