Talk:Kauf MICH!

Page creation

I'm not quite sure how album page creation works, but I've copied the information box from Ein kleines bisschen Horrorschau and put in the information from Kauf MICH!. All the translations are my own, so I'm not sure if they'd match up with any other English translations. I could have translate the song summaries as well, but I'm not sure if that might be atypical of album pages. Most of the information is simple summarization from the German page, however, the information on the hidden track following Katastrophen-Kommando isn't in the German version. I thought I saw it there once before, but I don't think it's there anymore. It's not that secret if you play the CD in anything with a readout displaying duration (as it reads 17:57) or time remaining. I'm not sure which song it is (I think "So ein schöner Tag" maybe). Lastly, there's an image of the album cover on the German page, but I'm not sure if it's open for use in the English version. UltimaGecko (talk) 15:02, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Capitalization

I moved the article from Kauf MICH! (album) to Kauf Mich! (album) in accordance with conventional English capitalization guidelines, but the article was immediately moved back to Kauf MICH! (album). Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters) is quite clear on this, so unless "MICH" is an acronym, it should be written as "Mich" regardless of how it is capitalized on the CD itself. --DAJF (talk) 15:12, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm not going to bother changing them back throughout the article, since I don't know the guidelines on most of the stuff here, but the song titles of "Kauf Mich!" and "Wünch Dir was" are capitalized in every instance they are mentioned in the CD (that is: always Kauf MICH! and Wünsch DIR was). If it wasn't linguistically intended by the artists they would read "mich" and "dir" (although "Dir" is also possible). I don't think it's all that important for the article title, however.

Move?

Shouldn't one move this to "Kauf MICH!", without the "(album)"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.104.44.15 (talk) 18:11, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Song title translations

I attempted to follow idiomatic English with my translations like other albums I had looked at. Keeping that in mind: "Trade-ins disbarred" uses an awkward (and rare) translation of ausgeschlossen. I used "nice trip" for "Gute Reise" because it follows the colloquial expression of "have a nice trip" (while the lyrics indicate something less focused on a conventional, physical journey) - although "have a good trip" is common as well. I'd also recommend against adding "roughly" to the translation of "Wünsch DIR was", this is the idiomatic meaning and the closest you'll get to English without building an unwieldy translation like "wish for something for yourself".

The Toten Hosen's own translation of Alles aus Liebe is "all for the sake of love" (check Love, Peace, and Money from 1994 for the English version of the song), although the more literal and fitting translation is "all out of love". I should point out that the wikipedia translation of Reich & Sexy II's "Niemals einer Meinung" is "Never unanimous". I'm not sure if there's an English version of that song by that name.
