Talk:Mascha Kaléko

message: A link to this author's page was added to this article in January, 2008 by User:Lyriker. As this user was adding many links to Lyrikline.org (and had created the article), the link was removed by a linkspam volunteer, the article was deleted as promotional, and Lyrikline was globally blacklisted. However, the article has now been restored, the English-language interface to Lyrikline has been whitelisted, and the link here may have been appropriate. Accordingly, absent objection, I intend to add the link back with a bit more explanation of what it is, see an example at Michael Krüger (writer)#External links. I'll wait a few days. Comment is appreciated, before or after the addition. For reference, see author page at Lyrikline. This page has no English translations, but audio and German text and biography in German. --Abd (talk) 17:16, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The translation "(In my dreams, a storm is brewing)" seems to be original and not taken from the source quoted, so as a native German speaker I feel entitled to criticise it. "läuten" means both the ringing of a door bell and the chiming or tolling of church bells. "Sturm läuten" can mean a tocsin, the ringing of alarm bells when a storm is coming (in a coastal village or on a ship), or figuratively, the very insistent ringing of a door bell.
So I would translate the title as "In my dreams, storm bells are ringing". Volker1308 (talk) 11:49, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: While I agree that "brewing" is off, too speak of "storm bells" to people who may not associate them with the actual ringing of bells in a wheather emergency seems also going a bit to far. Translating poetry is one of the toughest things. My understanding is that the figurative alarming insisting ringing of a door bell may be meant. How about putting your observation in a footnote? If you need help to do that, I could offer some, or just copy from any article with footnotes. (also native speaker) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:06, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
