Posted: Fri 09 Dec, 2005 4:10 am Post subject: translation needed for a German expression
I'm translating a text about the "Nebra sky disc". Among the associated finds were also bronze swords. Here ist the original sentence: Die Klingen sind einzigartig aufwendig mit Einlagen aus Kupferdraht verziert (tauschiert), und an den Griffen tragen sie ringfoermige Schmuckstreifen aus profiliertem Goldblech.
Is the anybody who can help me to translate the word "tauschieren"?
Yes, tauschiert means inlaid, it's a technical term.
Die Klingen sind einzigartig aufwendig mit Einlagen aus Kupferdraht verziert (tauschiert), und an den Griffen tragen sie ringfoermige Schmuckstreifen aus profiliertem Goldblech.
Free translation:
The blades are uniquely and complex ornamented with inlays from copper-wire (tauschiert), the grips are covered with ornament-bands made from gold-sheets.
Please note, that this a free ad-hoc translation. The text contains some expressions that are quite complex, but I think my translation should suffice
