Instant Messenger, Instant Messenger Software, Software zur Sofortkommunikation Explanation: Again: One of those Computerspeak words you just leave in English. Browsing through several German search engines I foun articles like "Der Krieg der Instant Messenger" www.pcWelt.de "Was sind Instant Messenge?r" www.fws.bonn.de "Was ist ein Instant Messenger?" www.womanticker.de The only translation I came across was: "Sofortkommunikation", but the best translation is no translation. |
