> How else do you know what they call carbon fiber in German? [0] > [0] Kohlenstofffaserverstärkter Kunststoff, of course. Well, it actually not that simple :) Kohlenstofffaserverstärkter Kunststoff[1] is carbon fiber reinforced polymer[2]. But it seems like carbon fiber is also used as a short hand for carbon fiber reinforced polymer. Similarly, Germans often call Kohlenstofffaserverstärkter Kunststoff just Karbon. But the translation of the technical term carbon fiber[3] is just Kohlenstofffaser[4] (which is quite a literal translation). But indeed, it is really nice how transparent that is when looking that the wikipedia articles.
