[German translation] ß instead of ss
asked 2016-12-21 15:58:46 +0300
The German Translation for
are wrong It should be schließen not schliessen
related question: is there "ß" on the keyboard in SailFish OS. I am missing this since MeeGo already. Please add this symbol, because we can not write really grammatically correct text messages without it.
Thanks

long press s [if in lower case] and there is the ß
sure we could think about the capital ß [ẞ] which is missing.
Nokius ( 2016-12-31 14:25:24 +0300 )what capital ß, there is no such thing. Your first answer hit the spot. Thanks

Please do not post links if you do not know what their content is about. These reform did not change anything for the word „schließen“, it is still correct with „ß“ and wrong with „ss“ (at least for de_DE). You can check it e.g. here.
inta ( 2016-12-22 00:44:38 +0300 )@vattuvarg you forgot the "un" in front of the "related"... because the link is in no relation to the topic
misc11 ( 2016-12-22 00:49:41 +0300 )The above link specifies when "ß" should be used. It does not contradict the topic, but relates to it.
