Help with German Translation

This is getting a little off-topic, but we used to have to do fahrtlich training for endurance sports. It is a type of interval training which is pronounced " fart lick". Always produced a distrurbing image. Really funny if you're in high school.

The appropriate word to use is "auf Wiedersehen" according to my wife who is a full blooded German ... it's a warmer way to say goodbye and translates into "until we meet again" or "until we see each other again"

"Tschuess" is more informal and basically translate into "see ya" or "good bye"

A little German FYI,

Kitchener, the city in which we live is actually the largest German community outside of Germany and was called Berlin until WWI when it was changed. Each year we host a HUGE Oktoberfest with people visiting from all over the world ... but not near as big as the one in Munich. If you look up Oktoberfest on Wikipedia, Kitchener is actually listed as "Also See" at the bottom ...

Auf Wiedersehen!

would be good. "Tschüss!" is a local version, and more used further North. Bavarians would be more likely to say "Servus" or some such.

I think even better might be

"Auf Wiedersehen in 2008!"

which would immediately double as an invitation for the next year. I'd still repeat it in English though.

See you!
