Are German laws written in English, or did you find a translation somewhere? I've never looked up German laws before, evidently ;)

- chmod775 9y agoThere are "official" translations of some laws, but not all of them. In any case they're always only meant as a convenience, the German version obviously being the only source of truth. In this case the sentence is taken from the english version of their press release regarding the cayla dolls: https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/SharedDocs/Pressemitteilungen/EN/2017/17022017_cayla.html https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/SharedDocs/Pressemitteilung... A list of translated laws can be found here, but I couldn't find the TKG among them: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/Teilliste_translations.html https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/Teilliste_translations.ht...
- germanier 9y agoGerman laws are written in German and any translation is bound to miss many important subtleties (even a layperson's reading of the original is going to miss something). I found this translation last time this topic came up here (it was teddy bears with spy cams then). Honestly it's not really good, especially when debating finer details as happens downthread. At least it conveys the basic gist of it.
