You're right and I was wondering as well... > Regarding the "EPG": I'm pretty sure most people know what "EPG" > means, and would probably wonder what a "Programmf?hrer" is. I don't think it's not common. Some examples, the are all using "Programmf?hrer": http://www.itwissen.info/?ano=01-014383&id=31 http://www.sceneo.tv/modules.php?name=Content_pro&pa=showpage&pid=109 http://www.primacom.de/produkte/primatv/epg.php http://www.teltarif.de/arch/2006/kw14/s21209.html http://www.golem.de/0507/39347.html http://tvprogramm.kabeldeutschland.de/wunsch-fernsehen/programmfuehrer.php > Besides, I don't think we need another "F?hrer"... I still wonder why some people still associate "F?hrer" with the (infamous) German history. Beside this: seems nobody here owns a "F?hrerschein" (driving license), to name only one. > Forcibly translating things sometimes leads to funny situations, > where the original English word is put in parenthesises after the > German word, because nobody really knows what it means ;-) That's absolutely right!
