German Phrase

Hi German users,

Can one of you guys give me a German Phrase that I can use to
demonstrate tokenizing non-ascii text. Preferably something about 40
bytes long with lots of umlauts and perhaps a ß.

Cheers,
Dave

ZwÃ¶lf BoxkÃ¤mpfer jagen Viktor quer Ã¼ber den groÃ?en Sylter Deich.

or

â??Fix, Schwyz!â?? quÃ¤kt JÃ¼rgen blÃ¶d vom PaÃ?.

Thanks Jens. This one is perfect although I can’t seem to make sense
of it. The translation I could get was;

“Fix Schwyz!”, croaked Jürgen blood from the pass.

Does it make sense in German? Not that it really matters. I’m going to
go ahead and use it anyway.

Cheers,
Dave

I’d translate it with

“Go Suisse!”, JÃ¼rgen {oafishly|zanily} croaks from the pass.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ pick one

Thanks guys. I guess it makes just as much sense as the quick brown
fox jumping over a lazy dog (English pangram). The best perfect
pangram I could find in English is “fix Mr. Gluck’s hazy TV, PDQ!”.

Thanks again,
Dave

Hi Dave,

these seem to be panagrams, which means they are using each character of
the
german abc. Heard of this myself for the first time. Naturally they
don’t
make too much sense but all of the used words are correct.

The first one means something like:
Twelve boxers are hunting victor across the big bank of the island sylt.

The second one goes around:
“Come on, you Swiss!”, croaked JÃ¼rgen chuckleheaded up from the pass.

Cheers,
Jan

Whoops, thanks for the correction. I should have counted the letters.
