German translators of AtD

[Otto]

They say "most likely" it will be just "Gegen den Tag" -- and yes, the
polysemantic meaning will get lost, especially the possible biblical
meanings, for example from Joh. 12,1–9, Matth. 26,6–13, Mark. 14,3–9,
where "against the day" is "für den Tag" ("for the day").

I hope the two guys (Stingl, van Gunsteren) will be paid properly!
