Section 4 edit
Der Grund, als Wahlwörter mehr oder weniger sinnvolle Wörter der deutschen Sprache zu wählen, häufig Komposita, also zusammengesetzte Substantive, und nicht etwa irgendwelche sinnlosen Zufallstexte, wie CIHJT UUHML, ist darin zu sehen, dass dem befugten Empfänger der Nachricht so signalisiert werden konnte, dass er den verschlüsselten Funkspruch fehlerfrei entschlüsselt hatte. Allerdings war vorgeschrieben, dass ein Wahlwort nicht in Zusammenhang mit dem eigentlichen Nachrichteninhalt des Funkspruchs stehen durfte. Und selbstverständlich durfte es auch nicht „gegen Zucht und Ordnung verstoßen“.[1]
Wahlwörter kamen auch in Zusammenhang mit anderen Chiffriermaschinen zum Einsatz, beispielsweise beim „Geheimschreiber“ Siemens & Halske T52.[2]
The reason for choosing more or less meaningful German words as Wahlwörter (often compound words, as in compound nouns) rather than any meaningless random texts, such as CIHJT UUHML, was to tell the authorized recipient he had decrypted the radio message without any errors. However, Wahlwörter had to be completely unrelated to the real content of the radio message, and were instructed to not “offend against discipline and order.”[1]
Wahlwörter were also used in conjunction with other ciphering machines, for example the „Geheimschreiber“ Siemens & Halske T52.[2]
| Week | Comment | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | Setting up Wikipedia Account; translating Section 4 of the "Wahlwort" translation (but it did not save my translation --> I guess I did not press "Publish changes") | 90 mins |
| Week 2 | Translating Section 4 of the "Wahlwort" translation again; terminology is one of the main struggles and not having any background knowledge leads to difficulties in terms of understanding | 90 mins |
| Week 3 | Translating the "Funny World" text; some terminology is not easy to translate; collaborating with my peers helped a lot; links work really well | 60 mins |
| Week 4 | Translation of the text "Lerntagebuch" --> the text already exists in English, but it is completely different from the German version; I tried to get in contact with the author of the English version to ask him/her why the translations are different, but I did not get an answer and decided to work on another text | 90 mins |
| Week 5 | Started translation of Ulrike Auhagen; the terminology ("Umhabilitation") is one of the main struggles, but I feel myself learning so much about translating works in general. I am still waiting for an answer from the author of "Lerntagebuch" | 45 mins |
| Week 6 | "Ulrike Auhagen" text; the text is not very long, but for me as a German it is very difficult to explain special terms in English (some German terms do not exist in English); I feel myself learning so much about the Wikipedia platform | 60 mins |
| Week 7 | Trying to publish the "Ulrike Auhagen" translation, but it did not work; searching for articles was not easy | 30 mins |
| Week 8 | Publishing the "Ulrike Auhagen" translation; searching for articles which do not exist in English; working on the "Peter Kuhlmann" text | 60 mins |
| Week 9 | Working on the "Peter Kuhlmann" text; special terminology ("Sonderforschungsbereich") | 45 mins |
| Week 10 | Working on the "Verein Deutsche Sprache" translation with my peers; working on the "Peter Kuhlmann" text on my own; editing peers' translation | 100 mins |
| Week 11 | Working on the "Verein Deutsche Sprache" text on my own; I am never sure about the definite article (English vs. German) | 100 mins |
| Week 12 | Working on the "Verein Deutsche Sprache" translation with my peers helped a lot; special terminology --> we had to come up with only one term for the English translation of "Verein Deutsche Sprache"; we wrote an email to the association, but did not get an answer; translating the "Peter Kuhlmann" text | 90 mins |

Ulrike Auhagen edit
Ulrike Auhagen (born November 21, 1967 in Düsseldorf) is a German classical philologist.
Life edit
Auhagen studied Latin, Greek and German at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg. Supervised by Eckard Lefèvre she gained her doctorate in Latin Philology (doctoral thesis: "Ovid's monologue"). Since 1993, Auhagen has worked at the University of Freiburg, first as a research assistant, since 1995 as a research associate, in the area "Transitions and tensions between orality and scribality". In addition, she has been a member of the "Academic Senate" since 1998. She became a professor at the University of Bielefeld in 2007 (postdoctoral thesis: "Hetaera in Greek and Roman comedies"). After her "Umhabilitation" in 2009 (the process when professors get their license to teach at another university) to Freiburg she became what is known as an "extraordinary professor" in 2012.
Verein Deutsche Sprache edit
Verein Deutsche Sprache e. V. (VDS), founded November 12, 1997 is a German language association based in Dortmund. According to the association itself,which is listed as a nonprofit association counts 36,000 members in more than 100 countries. Economist Walter Krämer has been chairman of the association since its foundation.
History and aims edit
The association was originally founded for the preservation of the German language (VWDS), later renamed to Verein Deutsche Sprache in April 2000. Aiming at preserving and promoting the German language as an independent cultural language, the association mainly focuses on eliminating “Denglisch”, but does not refuse to accept loanwords from English if they do not exist in German. “In my lectures I even use English words if the German counterparts exist, depending on which word is shorter”, admitted Walter Krämer. According to the language guidelines of the association, they do not demand that the German language is completely isolated from English. The German language is, like many other European languages, a hybrid language and thus benefits from words and phrases from other languages.
Orthography edit
The club magazine Sprachnachrichten (a word play involving Language Messages and Voice Messages) has been published in the reformed spelling of German since autumn 2008. According to the association, spelling rules are not very important for the German language, but anglicisms are the main problem, because they alter the articulation and orthography to a greater extent than misspelling.
Split-offs edit
Because of persistently unconsidered criticism, mainly addressing the leadership of chairman Walter Krämer, the group based in Bautzen left the association at the end of 2005 followed by 50 members of the group in Hannover in 2006. They founded the associations "Sprachrettungsklub Bautzen/Oberlausitz e. V. " (English: "Save our language club") and "Aktion Deutsche Sprache e. V.". The Bautzener Sprachrettungsklub is a member of the VDS again, but it is still an independent association.
Members edit
The members (approximately 36,000 members in September 2015), with more than half of them being foreign members (4220 in Africa), come from all social classes. On the management level academics dominate. Many members of the association are celebrities, such as Bastian Sick (Author of Zwiebelfisch/onion fish), Dieter Hallervorden, Reinhard Mey, Ottmar Hitzfeld and Antje Vollmer. In 2005 Mühlhausen/Thuringia became the first city to join the association. Later, the cities Gotha, Landshut, Merseburg, Paderborn, Rastatt, Rudolstadt, Schneverdingen, Trossingen and Wunstorf and the district of Sömmerda became members of the association.
Organization edit
Regional groups edit
The association is organized into numerous independent regional groups. They send delegates to an annual assembly, which elects the commitee of eleven delegates. The association can be found on all continents but not in Austria and Switzerland because there are independent language associations active in these countries that work together with the VDS. The club has a branch in Denmark sicne 2011. Initiatives of regional groups: Since 2004, the Cologne group, which is also particularly involved with the Cologne dialect, has awarded the Lehrer-Welsch-Sprachpreis (Welsh Teaching Language Prize), which the Cologne group Wise Guys received in 2006. Other award winners are the well known chidlren program The Sendung mit der Maus the program with the mouse (2009) and the Cologne music group Höhner (2011). The regional group Hamburg annually awards the Elbschwanorden.
