The German newsgroup for Java is called de.comp.lang.java .

Germans tend to use English for most computer terminology e.g. world wide web, beamer, flip chart, overhead projektor, cookie, hardware, website, flag, laptop, notebook, software and upgrade. Swing-related terms such as ActionListener and Collection terms such as HashMap are never translated.

If you have ideas for useful links for this entry, please pass them on. I would appreciate anything that would be useful for converting programs to work in German, or for German-speaking Java programmers. Information for people fluent in German to help them translate English technical terms is most welcome.
