Talk:Kanalkampf

Translation
The standard translation for the German "Kampf" is fight, not battle. Battle is usually the equivalent for the German "Schlacht". "Kampf" is smaller than "Schlacht", more locally limited. A literal translation of "Kanalkampf" would be 'Channel Fight'.

Thankyou for your message. "Steamer" is somewhat colloquial, like "motorbike", or "veggie". And although the meaning is not ambiguous in this context, I have a "steamer" to cook my vegetables. Best wishes, Motacilla (talk) 08:27, 22 June 2024 (UTC).
