Really weird, half assed, translation
Bruksgatan is translated as "Bruks Street", with the second part of the street name translated to English, and the first part not.

The Swedish word "bruk" can be translated in English to Works (as in steelworks, glassworks et c.). Although, I'm not sure the English and Swedish words share the exact same meaning.

The Swedish word "bruk" denotes a place (mill, factory, farm et c.), where the processing of naturally occuring raw materials (or a crop) is made, into a man made raw material, or sometimes a finished product. E.g. a stålbruk (steelworks), make steel out of ore; a glasbruk (glassworks), make glass, or sometimes finished glass items, out of sand, ashes and limestone; a kalkbruk, make lime out of limestone; a lantbruk (farm) grow food out of the ground; a sockerbruk (sugar plant), make sugar out of beets.

The "bruk" that gave name to Bruksgatan in Helsingborg, produced three kinds of products, raw iron, iron works, and stoneware. 188.148.208.36 (talk) 08:24, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
