I use �bersetzer, because that's what they are. I don't know if there is
german Hurd documentation but the articles I wrote. I think it is silly to use
german declensions or conjugations for foreign words, like "Votet euren
Lieblingssong". It only leads to confusion [1].

Thanks,

[1] I consider this practice acceptable only for jokes and words which are
incorporated by usual language development, like pullover etc.
