<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Resu Eman, post: 237759, member: 9147&quot;]Here&#039;s a <a href="http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/5373/notgeld/german.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/5373/notgeld/german.htm" rel="nofollow">site </a>with some of the more common terms adn phrases. It is far from complete, but it can help. The unfortunate thing with notgeld is not only that it often used old script, but that when the municipalities issued them, they would often use a colloquial phrase or a local dialect. Think of being german and trying to translate &quot;ya&#039;ll&quot; or &#039;okie dokie&#039;, &#039;&#039; &#039;nuff said! &quot;, and the like. Most of the local dialects I have encountered have been along the lines of a Plattdeutsch or similar to Dutch. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Your best bet is to ask around and when you get some good translations, write them down and keep them. I have done this on other boards and it has helped some, but as I have a lot of those local dialect notes, I can&#039;t get the whole translations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
