Hi there

I usually rely on Wikipedia's German editors to do such translations of text for me, but on this one relied on my English-German dictionary because it was two words. My command of German is limited. If 'two-tiered' is an accurate translation, by all means replace the existing translation, or I can change it if you prefer. I actually made two typos, have fixed the other one. Borchardt wrote 'doppelt', not 'doppel'. Mr rnddude (talk) 10:13, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi to you

staggered is actually a translation of gestaffelt, but it's only used that way in the sense of spreading an action out over a certain time period.

staffeln also means stacking items in such a way that a series of steps results. That's also what a tier is - like a tier of seats in a cinema.

I'm not a German, but I moved from the USA to Germany 36 years ago, and my German is very good.

If you're in agreement, then I have no problem with making the change. Gljennejohn (talk) 12:48, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation. I'm happy for you to make the change. Mr rnddude (talk) 13:15, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll make the change. Gljennejohn (talk) 13:39, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I made the changes. Let me know what you think. Gljennejohn (talk) 14:04, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I went to sleep after my last post. Looks good. Thanks for your edits. Mr rnddude (talk) 03:39, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you're satisfied. That was the biggest edit I've made so far. Gljennejohn (talk) 07:52, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
