Peoduct Galleries

Postby Don_HH2K » Thu 10 Mar, 2005 4:57 pm

Hmm, I wonder who they had doing CeBIT's website...

Please tell me... what is a "Peoduct Gallery"? Better yet, when is "Photo" traditionally spelled "Foto"?

This reminds me of a problem I had with somebody's Hotmail account. Microsoft has apparently outsourced Hotmail's phone support to India or somewhere, because the person that we got said the phonetic equivelant of this: "There is a shoe in our servers, the shoe will be corrected soon". So, since the person was on speakerphone, we were all wondering what they were talking about with a shoe in the servers, where the person was actually trying to say "There is an issue in our servers". Needless to say it's a very common joke between the three of us now.

Well, if the site you are refering to is http://www.cebit.de/homepage_e?x=1, it appears to be a German site. They may not have accurate German to English translators. Also, after my two years of taking German in school, I seem to remember that the German word "foto" translates into "photo" in English. I don't belive "Peoduct" is a German word.

It is true that CeBIT's website is probably German since CeBIT is held in Hannover, Germany. Since you say that "Peoduct" isn't a German word, I'm guessing that it's not a mistake in translation, but rather the typist's fault, since the E and R keys are right next to each other on most keyboards.
