OMG, yes:

I've always found that attempts at germanization of subjects where English is the lingua franca are incredibly amusing. Further germanization of German words, such as the conversion of "Nase" to "𝕲𝖊𝖘𝖎𝖈𝖍𝖙𝖘𝖟𝖎𝖓𝖐𝖊𝖓" also is at least worth a chuckle despite the solemn background that spawned the movement.

>"Nase" to "𝕲𝖊𝖘𝖎𝖈𝖍𝖙𝖘𝖟𝖎𝖓𝖐𝖊𝖓"

Which is bullshit and just a parody on linguistic purism.

I could write more, but i have to configure the Zuwachssicherung of my Klapprechner over DFÜ.

Google translate doesn't seem to do well with those characters ... could someone please help with "𝕭𝖊𝖌𝖗ü𝖘𝖘𝖚𝖓𝖌𝖘𝖆𝖓𝖟𝖊𝖎𝖌𝖊𝖇𝖊𝖉𝖎𝖊𝖓𝖒𝖊𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖓𝖎𝖘𝖒𝖚𝖘".

German for: Spend the best hours of the day on an orange website.

basically showWelcome()

Literally it means: Greeting-Display-Control-Mechanism. In German you can jumble the words together to get a new, more precise German word. The most notorious being this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany/100...

Or this: http://linguacuriosa.blogspot.com/2009/10/german-for-beginne...

Mother of god...

More like this is totally freaking Awesome...!

That would be Gottesmutter or (way better) Gottesgebärerin (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottesgeb%C3%A4rerin)

I remember my German teacher struggling to get the class to remember Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (admittedly two words). So she taught us Vierwaldstätterseedampfschiffgesellschaftskapitänsmützensternlein instead. After that Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte was easy.

This is now my favorite code snippet. I didn't have one before. Love "Begrüssungsanzeigebedienmechanismus" and the hopelessly verbose way it was implemented.

I just remembered the snippet forgot "Sehr geehrte Herr oder Frau". Oh no! -1 bureaucracy point.

OH NEIN! MEIN LEBEN! :(

Too bad the source code of that beautiful toy is nowhere to be found - I'd gladly provide a patch that teaches it about the umlauts which it unfortunately left alone in your piece of art you created here <3

It's trivial to dump the tables at least. Just enter all printable ascii characters :). The umlauts would be by first fully decomposing the string down to letters+combining characters, right?

𝕭𝖊𝖌𝖗𝖚̈𝖘𝖘𝖚𝖓𝖌𝖘𝖆𝖓𝖟𝖊𝖎𝖌𝖊𝖇𝖊𝖉𝖎𝖊𝖓𝖒𝖊𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖓𝖎𝖘𝖒𝖚𝖘

Right :). Though it's not quite centred for me.

I have a tool to make this text, though I'll admit I never even thought about decomposing inputs like ü and then recomposing them after Fraktur-izing.
