Bild: "you recently got a new girlfriend. An American." Dirk: "That is correct, but I prefer not to talk about it. Just this much: it is relatively new, I can say/ tell, in what direction this might develop. We probably will see each other again in a few month when I return to Dallas." Babelfish is good for single words, but there are many German word that can't be translated into English! very good Lindsay, very close!

Only as much: It is still very fresh everything, I can yet say, what draus becomes. We will probably only see ourselves in a few months again, if I return after Dallas." Something may be lost in translation, but one wonders if the last sentence means "if I have to go back to Dallas or if I am traded." This is the Alta Vista Babelfish translation:

"Nowitzki: That's true, but I can't say much. Only Soviets: it's all very fresh, I can't say, where this is going. We'll probably only see each other again in a few months, when I return to Dallas." So: how'd I do? Have I made Herr Wieden proud? I did take German in high school, performed poorly, and will now attempt an Internet-free translation:
