Because they are specific terms and names which are usually not translated - to avoid confusion if one tries to handle with it. But for clarification my notes: - HafenCity => is a name for a specific part of Hamburg - Universität Hamburg => could be actually translated in the way you did => the best thing is you simply write "HafenCity University of Hamburg" - Department Geomatik => could be actually translated in the way you did - Dipl.-Ing. => is a german degree similar to Master of Science (MSc). But translating degrees without saying that the original term is quite tricky. apart from that, here is a nice page for translation of german terms: http://dict.leo.org/ >Also, I'm having some trouble with the revision effort.
