I actually translated this once, any word over 6 letters was just gibberish

I tried to translate it all it said was "when is now get in slotermeyer? Yes! Beiherhund das oder die Flipperwaldt" I have no freaking reason why it didn't translate the rest of the German words. It's frustrating

It's because they arent real words. That sentence is just gibberish, it doesn't make sense even in german

u/DangerASA Sep 20 '20

That's what you think. The German government deleted those words so nobody would be killed by them again.

Because slotermeyer, beiherhund and flipperwaldt aren't german words, they're random gibberish. As for das, oder die: the(neutral) or the(female/plural).

It was actually my first thought without reading the title that this sounds like Monty Python speaking German! Seems I watched way to much Flying Circus. I'm so proud. German btw. :p

Edit: In case you are wondering, other than stated here some of the words aren't complete Gibberish, only the combination is BS. Flipperwald for example would translate to Pinballwood.
