does stapler really mean forklift, and lager really mean storage, in german?

[–] Jomosoto@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"Stapler" means "stacker" and "forklift" means "Gabelstapler" which is "forkstacker", but it's abbreviated here. And yes, "Lager" is storage :)

and lager really mean storage

Yes, but can also mean a camp, a type of beer, a resource deposit or a ball bearing (and probably more).

I think in this case I would translate “Lager” as “warehouse”
