http://dict.leo.org is an excellent online dictionary that is maintained out of Stuttgart University, the translations are not always 100% but it is by far the best dictionary I have come across and we use it alot at work.

Ok - so what does KDF stand for, and what does it mean??
And yes - the literal translation of Vorsprung Durch Technik is 'A leap forward through technology'.

AUDI is latin for "listen carefully". "Horch" is German for "listen carefully". Mr Horch's son was doing latin homework when he tried to come up with a name for the new company... no shït

I was always told it was 'Progress through Technology', but I will bow to those with a far superior understanding of the German language than I have if 'Advancement Through Technology' is the better translation
