at this, a proper translation is of utmost importance ?????

I seriously cannot believe it!
You still offer absolutely NO CONTEXT?


People here are more than willing to help but c'mon buddy, throw us a crumb!

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!

Just so's people know what you're ranting about, mags ;-)

Ta muchly, oh hickory smoked one!

Ok Bjoern, I'm going to give you an answer that will hep you about as much as the info contained in your query helps those trying to help you (deeeeep breath)

Of course "at this" exists and is commonly used used, e.g.
At this juncture, I'm about ready to give up.
Strange isn't it, that at this point, he is still giving us no context?
Having said all that I will say that you could use a number of the words/phrases listed at your link - some of them will surely work... do they mean what you want them to mean? Dunno! Your guess is as good as mine.

in this connection, a proper translation is of utmost importance
at this juncture, a proper translation is of utmost importance
here, a proper translation is of utmost importance

However as the English doesn't make any sense, it is most likely a bad translation, I would say your best bet is to figure out what the heck it is supposed to mean.
BTW at what point precisely is a proper translation not important? Just wondering...

To be honest, I don't understand what you guys are raging about.
What I have is a very simple question:
Can I use "at this" like a pendent to "hierbei"?
To make it more transparent:
Most people would agree that I can use "however" as a pendent to "jedoch". No need for context.

All your raging makes me think that "at this" is probably not not to be used as assumed above.

A very simple and polite answer would have been:
"Nope, Bjoern, you cannot generally say that, as it depends on the context in which you apply this expression"

However, thank you!

Mr X: "Can I always translate x with y?"

Ms Y: "Uhm, generally no!"

A: raging is a bit harsh

B: had you given a full sentence (beginning and end), as you were asked to do yesterday, you would have gotten a quick and (most likely) cogent response.

C: the snippet of a sentence with no context made no sense. however, had you written
Mr X: "Hey, look at this, a proper translation is of utmost importance."
Ms Y: "Really, I did not know that!"

We all would have said: "YAY, Bjorn nice work!! - That's great!"

D: Please do use it! as pendant; hang it around your neck and wear it as you run through meadows with puppies for all I care. Maybe a ring or a bracelet would be nicer.

If you still can't figure it out after everything I wrote - I give up!

Björn, meinst du: am Satzanfang?
Also quasi,
On translating xy texts. At this, ... .

Wenn, dann - kann ich mir kaum vorstellen.
s. auch: related discussion: at this - hierbei

mags don't let him give u the pips - the answer was

no.

there are always people who try to elicit the answer they (weirdly) hit upon.

you tried too hard. easy..

I'm good noli, but so very sweet of you to check!

But to be honest if he does make a pendent (pendant) out of "at this", I hope he pimps it a bit - you know get some real ghetto BLING going...

I also wouldn't mind photos of him and the puppies frolicking in the meadow, the sun glinting off his pendant...

Yes, it would have been more helpful of Bjoern to give more context, but it would have been more helpful of everyone else not to waste so much time and space in a translation thread. That's what the chat room's for.

Back to the question at hand: No, I don't think 'at this' is normally used as a sentence adverb in modern English. The only context I can think of is in traditional storytelling:

The dwarf came near to him, crying, 'Hail and well met, fair sir! I bid you welcome to our land. But pray take care in the Dark Forest, lest you meet the fire-breathing dragon!' At this the knight dismounted hastily from his steed.

I suppose that could be 'Hierbei' in German, I have no idea.

(cue violins)

The dwarf came near to him, crying, 'Hail and well met, fair sir! I bid you welcome to our land. But pray take care in the Dark Forest, lest you meet the fire-breathing dragon!' At this the knight dismounted hastily from his steed.

In this storytelling context, the correct German translation would be "hierauf"!

But to anyone having the same problem translating "hierbei": no, "at this" is usually not an option! I am having the same problem right now and I think I will just try to find a translation where I can leave this "hierbei" out ...
