Translated from the German by
Hi all,
I found this phrase under some of the Spiegel Online´s articles at www.spiegel.de/english. I´d say the "the" in "Translated from the German by..." doesn´t belong there, only if "German" is followed by "version" or "text" or something like that. Surprisingly, google found more hits on this phrase than "translated from German by" (4:1). Are both versions correct, acceptable or was our English teacher back in school mistaken? just curious...
