- marton78 7y agoThe canonical German translation is "pflücke den Tag", which is exactly "pluck the day", as suggested in the article.
- davrosthedalek 7y agoGerman here. Never heard that translation. Could be either regional or an old translation. Here, we would say "Nutze den Tag" -- "make use of the day" in the sense of "don't waste it".
- mlangenberg 7y agoYep, same in Dutch: “pluk de dag”.
