Runs with Scissors


« on: June 01, 2007, 17:00:10 pm »

Since I don't belong to one of the cool initials clubs I was thinking of having a hood emblem for the '67 made up that plays off the old '50s hot rod slogan, "Lone Wolf, No Club" I am going to try and squeeze that in German around the following graphic:



then have it cast in bronze. (Might do some quarter window stickers too.)

Anyway, I don't speak German, I am from the SE USA so I barely speak Engrish, and after playing with the English to German translators on the web I come up with the following:

einsamer Wolf, keine verein

Any German speaking folks on this forum can verify that it says what I want and I am not asking directions to the closest gay nightclub? (Or could suggest a shorter version?)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi!

Well, the direct precise translation of:
"Lone Wolf, No Club"" would be
"Einsamer Wolf, kein Verein"

...but the Word "Verein" is mostly used for a sports-related club, e.g.
So that is "Sportverein"

In German language also, a car related "club" is  a "Klub" or a "Club" (same writing like
english)

So the translation would be:

"Einsamer Wolf, kein Klub" or
"Einsamer Wolf, kein Club"
