German translation

[002]

Hello German friends,

A simple one: my wife and I just bought new prescription glasses online and on her prescription (which is Japanese) there are references to 'jetzig brille' or 'JB'. If I use Google translate it says 'present glasses'.

Does that just mean that she already has glasses? I've never seen it before and Google didn't yield many results in English so I guess it's not a common jargon term with English-speaking optometrists / ophthalmologists?

Contemporary glasses.

I'm not German though obviously, I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

They are asking for "current glasses" - so the ones she's been using before or currently

Thanks guys! Kinda curious that they would use German for that.

i18n at its best!
Probably missing the Japanese translation for one key and pulled the German translation instead.
Could be a German software behind it that defaults to German translations or another oddity that lead to this.
