    cartoon characters: which or who?

    Comment
    In this video tutorial, you see two cartoon characters which/who explain the function of the user surface.


    Was ist richtig bzw. die sichere Bank? Mir ist nicht bekannt, wie diese Figuren aussehen.

    When in doubt, leave it out:

    another idea:

    you see two cartoon characters explaining

    Otherwise I'd use 'who', if they can talk.

    user surface???

    What's the context here? Are we perhaps talking about the user interface?

    I agree with 1, 2, 3 and 4. (Doesn't happen often.)

    You mean figures like Clippit/Karl Klammer in Microsoft Office or the dog who helps with Windows searches, right?
    You can call them "cartoon characters", but I think the common term here is "animated characters/figures". To me "cartoon characters" brings to mind Mighty Mouse, Scooby Doo, Dudley Doright, etc.

    Ich weiß es nicht, wupper. Der Quelltext hat "Zeichentrickfiguren", und ich denke nicht, dass Karlchen Klammer gemeint ist. Es geht, wie gesagt, um ein Video, nicht um Onlinehilfen. Da ich das Video aber nicht gesehen habe, weiß ich auch nicht, wie die Figuren gestaltet sind.

    Und wer ist Dudley Doright?

    @amw: Die Benutzeroberfläche. Diese Übersetzung wurde vom Auftraggeber in einer Terminologieliste vorgegeben. Angeblich stamme das aus der Apple-Welt.
