Translate German??

[jason2guy]

can some translate this? thanku

[sjf911]

looks like a distributor description:

with speed limiter 7000 (? RPM over-rev protection); centrifugal force range 5.75 degrees; double vacuum timing control

[mike55]

....... can't really help with the translation, but I'd nominate it for the nastiest Captcha!!

Man the Germans have lonnnnnnng words.

I tried babelfish and got:

release with speed limiter 7000 min; Fliehkraftvarstellbereich 5, 75 VOLKSWAGEN double university earth jerk box

Based on my Gymnasium/Hochschule Deutsch, sfj911's translation appears accurate.

FYI, it is common in scientific & technical texts, especially in countries using the metric system, to use the -1 superscript for 1/unit, i.e. 7000/minute is the same as 7000 minute^-1. The same would hold true for force per unit area (if pressure units like Pa or Bar are not used directly) or heart rate (beats per minute).

In addition, many countries (esp including Deutschland) use a comma where we would use a decimal point, e.g. 5,75° for 5.75°.

Hey, if you want long German words, check out some brake system parts & service. Like Bremsenentlüftungsgerät, Scheibenbremsbelag, Bremsflüssigkeitswechsel, und so weiter (and so on).

Yes, some may have problems understanding the request, but in my experience (and I work for a German/Swedish owned company), many people in Germany speak far better English than most Americans do any foreign language, and even better than many Americans speak English!

Let's see:

Fliehkraftverstellberich =

Centirifugal force adjustment range

(German shorter)

Doppel-Unterdruckdose =

Double negative pressure box or
Double vacuum box

(Lets call it a tie)

Sorry for being a smart-ass (I like that english word)

Actually, I think the more appropriate interpretation would be canister in this application so the German wins!

this is from the bosch pdf's. its a 88 turbo dist specs. trying to figure out a
compatible vacuum advance thats still available. thanks to all

Ok, I can't resist:

die Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften - legal protection insurance companies

and

das Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübert ragungsgesetz - law for regulation of beef labeling and delegation of supervision (in short, ReÜAÜG)

Imagine you were studying German legislation and/or insurance.

My Deutsch is not great, but I know those long words are just a few short words together without spaces or hyphens between them. It is not as bad as it might look.
