Meetup book in different languages 🗺

Hi fellow postcrossers! I am doodling finally a little meetup book of my own. On the front page I’d like to write “Meetup book” in different languages. :slight_smile: :open_book: :postcrossing: For this I need your help! Please feel free to provide a translation of “Meetup book” in your language. If your language uses different alphabet than Latin, please provide also the version in Latin alphabet. A big thank you in advance! :hugs:

If you want to avoid the English word meeting in the German translation, the literal “Treffenbuch” sounds odd, no German would say that. So you either have to go the complicated way:
:de: Buch für (Postcrossing-)Treffen (=book for (Postcrossing) meetings)
or rename the meetings to Stammtisch (literal meaning: desk for the regular guests) and say
:de: Stammtischbuch

Then there is Plattdeutsch (“lower German”, ISO 639-2: nds), a separate language still spoken by some people, especially in rural areas, in northern Germany. As it’s not a written but only spoken language, it differs slightly from village to village. In the dialect of the village I grew up in (near Osnabrück in Niedersachsen / Lower Saxony), it would be called:
Dreepnsbauk

In Slovak language:
Kniha stretnutí :slovakia:

Too complicated. No one ever uses “Stammtischbuch” or “Buch für …treffen”.

“Meetingbuch”, as suggested from @Cassiopheia, is perfectly fine :slight_smile:
