   yuwana: We need to know the (correct) pattern name! Normally fm = feste Masche = sc

   Which pattern please? The page you left the comment on is for Translations from German to U.S. crochet terms. If you are working from a “Google Translated” copy the fm may not be what was originally written in German. So please check the German copy of the pattern and let me know. Thanks, Rhondda

   Hi Christina, I believe it means Cluster Stitch – but it would be specific to the crochet project. So hopefully it includes what type of cluster stitch is being used. All the best, Rhondda

   What would maschengruppe translate to? (Zusammen abgemaschte stäbchen)

   Hi Nina, I’m not sure – I do know sometimes translations online say knitted when they are in fact crocheted but this could be a knit pattern he is inquiring about. I asked on my FB page and they were able to provide the translations 🙂 Thanks! Rhondda

   Ich bin etwas verwirrt! Ist das jetzt gehäkelt oder gestrickt? Da es sich hier um Übersetzungen für Häkelbegriffe handelt, hätten Begriffe die das Stricken betreffen nichts zu suchen @ Andrew

    Hi Andy,

    I asked on my Facebook Page and this is what they have given as translations:
    Cast on 8 stitches
    2 times yarn over needle
    The pattern is knitted 8 times in the round to round 152.

    Hope this helps 🙂 Rhondda

    I am trying to translate an old German Crochet pattern for a friend in the USA, I have checked on your German to English US crochet terms and several are simply not there. Would you be interested in adding the German words to your Dictionary of terms?
    They are in context and my attempt at translation:-

    8 Maschen Anschlag = 8 Stitch start block?

    Doppelumschlagen = thread crossed over the needle twice for a stitch?

    Der Mustersatz wird bis zur 152. Runde 8 mal in der Runde Gestrickt = the pattern will be knitted till the the 152 circle 8 times in a circle???

    Thanks for any help

    Regards

    Andy

    Hi Stephanie, You can try copying the pdf into Google Translate but it often does not translate crochet terms 100%. You may want to do that and then go to the list of terms and cross-check the terms that don’t translate properly. The link to Google Translate is: https://translate.google.ca/ and under the first box on the left it gives you an option to translate a document. Hope this helps, Rhondda

    “Air mesh” and “air chain” are indeed literal translations of the German terms “Luftmasche” and “Luftmaschenkette.” This shows why human translators are still in business and machine translation is a poor substitute (lucky for me since I am a translator). The terms mean “chain stitch” and “chain” in crocheting.

    Hi Didi is this the google translation of the German term? is you computer browser trying to translate it? maybe it is making the air chain and air mesh out of the actual term in German. Can you check and see if you can find the German term instead? Thanks! Rhondda

18. Rhondda says

    21/02/2017 at 7:49 PM

    Hi Didi, I sent you a PDF copy of the terms – hope this helps! (by email). Rhondda

    May I ask, what’s the definition of “air mesh” & “air chain” that I found in a German pattern, translated to English? I have no idea what this “air” thing is. I found a list of German crochet terminology, but neither one is listed, so that’s out. Think you’ll be able to help me? I hope so. Thanks.

    How can I get the US & German crochet terms list side by side? Here the Vudu ad is in the way. Thanks.

    I am learning German, so I have downloaded the US to German crochet terms. It is so useful to have a language in context. Plus if I see a nice crochet book on one of my trips to Germany I can buy it 🙂

    Hi Elizabeth,

    Russian is a bit trickier I’m afraid. You can try Google Translate. Or maybe try contacting a Russian Designer – perhaps they also speak English?

    I have a few Russian Translations available here: https://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/2014/05/russian-crochet-terms-and-u-s-crochet-terms.html

    Sorry I cannot be of more help!

    I am very interested in crocheting and my concern is when I cannot understand instructions in
    either Russian or German. Thank you very much Rhondda for the above translation in English.

    The other patterns are under Uncinetto in Russian
    and my heart dies for them. Do you know of any procedure or any source that can help translate these? The refugee women at the Greenery Dwelling project will be very happy to keep busy.
