Every visit to the Oktoberfest or to a Biergarten raises questions about how to translate Bavarian dialect into English, the same goes for Bavarian to German, but there are a host of dictionaries to help in that case. There are also some which translate “Bairisch” to English, for example the „Bavarian into English. A Lexical and Cultural Guide" by the late professor Otto Hietsch from Regensburg. The three volume book not only teaches language, but also gives insights to the Bavarian way of life.
