The words a German error message, a settings menu and a technical support call are built from.
German technical vocabulary mixes borrowed English words with native compounds, and which one a given concept takes has to be learned rather than guessed. Die Software and das Update were taken over unchanged; der Arbeitsspeicher and die Benutzeroberfläche were built out of German parts for concepts English names in one word. The compounds are transparent once read from the back, which is what makes a German settings menu easier than it first looks.
