German Translation needed...
« on: January 12, 2015, 09:41:53 AM »
Working on something, wanting to make sure it's correct.

Flieger Kat - is that correct? Aviator/pilot cat? Should it be Flieger Katze? Or am i totally wrong here...

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

A cat is eine Katze. An aviator's cat would be a Fliegerkatze... in which context is this phrase to be used?

Is cat to be meant in a literal way (the feline) or referring to a guy (like in "hepcat")? The latter one couldn't be translated into German that way  :old:

Then I'd go with Fliegerkatze (Katzenpilot would also work, but Fliegerkatze sounds much better)

If you'd like your cat pilots be definitely masculine, Fliegerkater might be the way to go. Something like the Stray Cats' logo. But it might wreak havoc in this unisex world we live in. Since E. Lillian Todd, Therese Peltier,  Blanche Stuart Scott and Raymonde de Laroche women haven't been wanting to stay away from the aviational fun.
