Title: Translation help Post by: PrintCoins on December 14, 2011, 03:05:08 PM I am designing a custom hologram for physical bitcoins, and I would like to make it multi-lingual.
What is the best word(s) to use to say something is a genuine item. English words: Authentic Genuine Original This would be to signify that this item is not a fake. Also, do you primarily use the word Bitcoin, or do you use some translated form of that word.

I'd suggest using "echt" or "original" as translations for "genuine" - both are regularly used in slogans advertising the genuineness of products. Like gimme_bottles said, there's no other word in use for "Bitcoin".

"Bitcoin" is'nt a german Word? ;D Title: Re: Translation help Post by: PrintCoins on December 15, 2011, 11:30:01 PM I believe it is Japanese.

"Original" is probably the closest translation. If you want to use it for a word in singular (like 1 Bitcoin) it would be "Original Bitoin" - plural (some Bitcoins): "Originale Bitcoins". "echt"(sl) or "echte"(pl) could suit too. It means 'not fake' like if you would say 'a thing's made of real gold'. Btw bitcoin in german is always written with a capital B. Could you give us the exact term you want to use or do you just want to print the single word? |
