Note: This post is by one half of our brand new German translation team!

After two months without updates, the German translation of Google Sightseeing has just been relaunched!

de.googlesightseeing.com is being managed by myself, Jenni Fuchs, and my brother Joe. I work for the National Museum of Scotland and live in Edinburgh, while Joe is a Mathematics student living in good old Germany – hopefully the perfect blend to guarantee the best translations.

In addition to daily translations of all the best posts from the original Google Sightseeing, suggestions of new sights from our German readers are most welcome, and can be submitted on the German site via “Sight Vorschlagen” on the top right of the German site.

Furthermore, you should expect brand new Germany-specific articles as soon as Street View is available in Germany!

We’re really looking forward to sharing all the places we discover along the way, and of course criticisms and suggestions are always welcome.

Your German Google Sightseeing Team Jenni und Joe!

    Good to know that the Germans are back (Aaah! Don’t mention the war!)

  2. Hi. Looking forward to your Germany comments on “Wllkommen Zurueck.” Am a German living most of my life in the U.S., but absolutely love Germany and would love to travel there more than I already have. And I agree wit Dr. R….don’t mention the war.
