Translation help! (sorry could'nt find a OT-forum)

" * There is no race called Norsk skogskatt, but it's often referred to as virtually all long-haired cats for skogskatt( Don’t understand that sentence). The real version is called Norwegian Forest Cat - and is always registered in the cat associations and has a pedigree. :



Is "Norsk Skogskatt" also an offical name for the breed known in English as "Norwegian Forest Cat"?

I am guessing that Dagdrivarn is trying to warn buyers that the term is used by some cat sellers for ordinary "long haired cats" which do not have an official pedigree, to try and get more cash. Please tell me if I am wrong

You are absolutely correct, but the correct name for the breed "Norwegian Forest Cat" is "Norsk Skogkatt" not "Norsk Skog(s)katt" which is used for almost every longhaired cat thereis people want to say that it's a Norweigan Forest Cat but says the name wrong :-)

I just have to tell you wich you might already have understood that the text was translated by google translate i often use it to translate from english to swedish but then i just read the text and get the grammar correct.

Then I would just say:

"Please be aware that "Norsk Skogskatt" is not an official pedigree, but a term used to cover all domestic long-haired cats in Sweden.
The official pedigree "Norwegian Forest Cat", which is recognized by the cat association is known as "Norsk Skogkatt" and not "Norsk Skogskatt". Please be aware of the difference in spelling, as both names are easily mixed up!

Oohh thanks that was exactly what i was looking for :-)
It's soo different to write a text in your native language with all the slang and things and expressions and then to translate it so it keeps the tone but still with the correct grammar.

Thanks a lot

* Note that a breeder who has more than one breed at home and suffer a sneak mating of these breeds, can report this to his covenant and get a proof of domestic cat kittens.( not sure what this means)

Well I'm not sure how to describe it, but in Sweden if you have a domestic cat, you can apply for something called "Huskattsbevis". You need a Huskattsbevis to be able to show you domestic cat.

Here you can read more about it, i used google translate on the page but at least you will understand even if the translation is, well you know
Google Översätt

- Another reason to be very careful not to buy an unregistered cat is that there are defects that should not be passed on through breeding, and it may be a reason why the breeder can not take on cat litter and solve this by disavowing the record kids( don’t know what that is). The breeder, therefore, has breeding bans.

Well here google translate really made a good effort making it completely jibberish... Well hmm... i will try to explain what I mean then you can try to find a good way expressing it in correct english.

What I'm trying to say is that the mother or the father or both can haf a defect like for examble hernia or anything even worse and should not be breed on.
So in Sweden we have to have a vet check for hernia before we can register the kittens. And we need to have a vet sign on the pedigree or something that a male
has both his testicles in scrutum. Because we are not allowed to mate a kryptocid male. Sooo well if this person has a cat and want to disobey this, he or she just
mate anyway and skip the registration. If you are a breeder you will be punished if someone finds out, but who checks the indiviual not member of any association.
Soo what google means by "breeding bans" is defects that make the cat by an association not allowed to breed on like for example a cat with hernia or cryptoshism.
