Stupid Microsoft translation for today:

T-SQL function "sin" (aka sinus)

translated to German as "SÜNDE" (sin, the religious thing)

Oh wait there's even more, some of them even come with "helpful" disambiguations

"abs" -> "ABS (Antiblockiersystem)"
"Asin" -> "ASIN (Amazon-Standard-Identifikationsnummer)"
"power" -> "Energie"
"floor" -> "Boden"

@Microfractal
Die ziehen das mit der Maschinenübersetzung jetzt einfach durch: https://docs.github.com/de/organizations/collaborating-with-groups-in-organizations/customizing-your-organizations-profile

Oder hat von euch schonmal wer von einer INFODATEI gehört? Nein? Ich nämlich auch nicht. Das Umschalten auf Englisch eröffnet dann, dass damit die README gemeint ist.

Es wäre aus meiner Sicht nicht so, dass die Dinge dadurch besser würden.

@Johann150 ... is sinus another accepted form of sine function? Because I know sinus as the cavity in the skull where the snot is kept. This is another layer of amusing in the context of the thread.
Show threadJohann150 ⁂   ☮Mar 3
@iris i think i just confused them because german uses the same word for both ​​
Show threadMoritz NegwerMar 3

@Johann150 @iris both come from the Latin word "sinus" meaning "sac, bend, bosom". The mathematical term is a latin (edit: mis-)translation of an Arab transliteration of the Sanskrit "jiyā" word meaning "chord" or "bowstring" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sine

German indeed uses "sinus" for the math function. No danger of mixing up the terms though, as the nose sinus is called "Nasennebenhöhlen" (=cavities next to the nose).

sine - Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Show threadIris Young (he/they/she) (PhD)Mar 3
@moritz_negwer @Johann150 wait... so what are nostrils??
Show threadMoritz NegwerMar 3

@iris @Johann150 Nasenlöcher, i.e. nose holes.

(sinus infection works out to a Nasennebenhöhlenentzündung = inflammation of the cavities next to the nose. Also great for scrabble if you can get all the Umlauts.)
