[Haskell-cafe] German names for kinds and sorts

[Robert Clausecker]

That's what I tried to do first, but the problem is that "kind" appears
to have the meaning of "child" in German, so using this word as-is in
German text may cause some confusion among readers not familiar to the
English jargon.

Seems to me that russian Haskell programmers mostly use an English word adapted to the Russian language: "кайнды" (kaindy). So, I think, you can do the same thing in German, just name them "Kinden" or "Kinder".
