Computer tab

[polyglotwannabe]

Hi, dear friends:
I need to say this:
Sorry, I clicked on the tab ( the tab on a webpage) by accident.
My try Ich klicke versehentlich auf den Taste.
But I know Taste is a key on the keyboard and that is not what I mean)

Thanks,
poly

Tab = tab. Very simple.

"Open in new tab" = "In neuem Tab öffnen" is an option to open a URL in Chrome browser.

Ich klicke versehentlich auf den Taste.

Sorry, ich habe aus Versehen auf den Tab geklickt/geclickt.

Thanks a lot, my good friend. Good to hear!.
It is strange why the W.R dictionary does not carry such definition such as the one you have given me here.
Just this:

(computing: page marker) (Computer)	Registrierkarte Nf
	When I'm working, I find it useful to have all the different resources I use open in different tabs in my browser.

which I knew was not the right translation for my idea.
Thanks, kajjo.

Registrierkarte

Ist das nicht eigentlich falsch und müsste Registerkarte heißen?

Richtig, wenn schon, dann Registerkarte oder auch Reiter.

So, Registerkarte or Reiter could also have been used in place of tab, which is, by all accounts an anglicism, right?.

Tab is just an English word, for my feeling still closer to English then a real anglicism.

Registerkarte and Reiter are terms used in context of paper-based traditional files. They are not very common in modern computer technology, but convey a slightly old-fashioned way.

 

[polyglotwannabe]

Oh, I see now. Thanks.

I prefer "Registerkarte" or "Reiter", because users tend to think of "tab" as the tab key.

Good to know. Thanks for input, LV.

Registerkarte. So, I think the entry in the dictionary has been mispelt. I copied and pasted straight from the entry. I think it should be revised. It could mislead others as well.

the tab on a webpage

What is it? Do you mean "of", not "on"? Do you mean a link? A link that will open a new tab?

 

[polyglotwannabe]

O mean to click on a tab ( on a webpage) or click a tab ( sometimes the preposition is omitted. As in, click that tab on the paper left'

For a tab on an internet browser people mostly say Tab. For a tab on an Excel spreadsheet people mostly Reiter. I suppose it depends on the kind of user who typically uses an application.

 

[Kajjo]

Just like tabs on a browser window, right?

 

[polyglotwannabe]

Exactly right.

 

[Schlabberlatz]

a tab ( on a webpage)

What is it? Is it the same as a link? Or maybe "on" is the same as "above"? :

Just like tabs on a browser window, right?

View attachment 52441

Or "on a webpage" = "in a browser window"?

click a tab

First one tab is visible (in full), then you click another tab to make it visible?

click that tab on the paper left'

What kind of paper?

 

[polyglotwannabe]

Sorry, the tab on the upper left. Yes, like in a browser window.

 

[Schlabberlatz]

Sorry, ich habe aus Versehen auf den Tab geklickt/geclickt.

I think I'd say:
Ich habe den Tab versehentlich angeklickt.

 

[polyglotwannabe]

I think I'd say:
Ich habe den Tab versehentlich angeklickt.

Thanks a lot kajjo. I like that.

 

[Kajjo]

Ich habe den Tab versehentlich angeklickt.

That's fine for me, too. I regard it as slightly (!) more elevated, and my solution as slightly more colloquial.

 

[polyglotwannabe]

Thanks to you all. I'm looking in this translation for an informal tone, without bordering on slang or vulgar. Just not so formal, standard german or popular better than formal.
But only yo know what sounds like more either one.
