Hrm, I think that was some computer science book: "Wir unterscheiden die
Funktion f nach x." :)

Translations of scientific or technical Literature is usually pretty
bad.  That doesn't mean there are exceptions to this rule:  A physics
professor told a story that it was quite common to translate Russian
books to English and vice versa w/o giving clear credit to the
original.  So one time it happens that a book got translated back to the
original language and someone was surprised that finally it's possible
to understand the book :)
