    Question Under Construction Translation

    Anybody knows how to say "Under Construction" in different languages...
    (This is for a page of other languages of a site, of course I know that it is "En Construcción" for the Spanish version)

    Default "under construction"

    "under construction" means in German "im Bau", but if it refers to a homepage, the expression "Diese Seite ist jetzt im Bau" applies better.

    Aunque tengás "En construcción", quisiera proponer "Página o sitio web en desarrollo", que se aproxima más a la semántica de la frase en inglés. Por lo general, redactamos, preparamos, desarrollamos, escribimos, componemos textos; no los construimos.

    Gracias por la sugerencia Mario.

    Es cierto que "En desarrollo" suena mejor y mas apropiado, pero me parece que es mas usual "En construcción".

    Igual el tema era ver como se dice en otros idiomas... pero parece q aca somos la mayoria English-Spanish-Translators....

    Thumbs up

    hola, te confirmo que en francés se dice "En Construction", esa palabra se usa si estas armando un sitio internet, es el más común, pero algunas veces puedes ver "En préparation" que se usa tambien.

    Default Danish

    The page is under construction.
    "Siden er under konstruktion"

    The page is under maintenance, it will be available very soon
    "Siden er under vedligeholdelse, den vil være oppe igen meget snart."
