German affiliated site now online...

The new site, while being published in the German language, is actually Swiss, not German. It's a German-language site, but not a German site.

I wondered why Rob said German (.de) when the link was Swiss (.ch).

Maybe because with "German" the language of the website is meant and not the country...?

He said German-speaking. But yes, my first thought was .de and not .ch.

It's proper to call it a German site when you are referring to the language, much like you might call this the English site, not meaning it's British. He does refer to this site as the "US" site, though, which might lead one to think he means German nationality, not German language. The top-level domain of .ch gives it away, but I think we can all find common ground here.

Auf jeden Fall ist es hervorragend, dass wir jetzt eine deutsche Version von Mac OS X Hints haben!

(In any case, it's awesome that we now have a German version of Mac OS X Hints!)
