Sorry, but server (EN) translates to Server (DE). Host (EN) translates to Host (DE). And BTW, most computing terms translate 1:1 English:Deutsch (es hat sich in der Praxis so eingebürgert).
A server is a /role/ which potentially any device can assume, a /host/, OTOH, is a big, "old-style" /computer/ like the IBM S-390, which dwells in caves underneath banks and govt offices and communicates with the world via SNA and 3250 terminals. Supposing that you refer to the Menu File -> Add Server (english version) and/or to the icon with the plug on the upper-left, I think that the translation is correct. If a change is to be made at all, may I suggest: (GERMAN) Verbindung *hinzufügen* (English) *Add connection* ... and the "Server" hierarchy in the tree pane should in this case be renamed "Connections". I also have the impression that there is a confusion/overlap in the GUI between the "Add connection" and "Connect" functionality, and I tend to think that the icon with the plug on the upper-left should "connect" to any selected (in the tree pane) "Server" object, instead of "adding a connection". (I agree mostly with Harald) Jauchz und Holladriööö! :-) RD 0002 On 11 January 2011 14:57, Susanne Ebrecht <mira...@web.de> wrote: > Hello, > > version 1.12.2 > > Connect to Server (Verbindung zum Server hinzufügen) > > Somebody translated the word host by using the word Server. > Which is totally confusing. > I didn't expect that I have to fill the host in a field that is named > server. > > The German word for host is Host. > > Susanne > > -- > Susanne Ebrecht > Bielefeld > >
