These are two phrases that won't translate via any internet translator. A local dialect? Both appear on Christmas ornaments purchased at Christmas markets in Germany.

Willsd an, der di ned ärchern koo, nou kaffsder hald an zwedschgermoo

Willsd anne, di ned schimpfd und schreid, dann kaffsd der hald a Zwedschgerweig

Thanks in advance!
We do have a German language forum (Deutsches Forum). You could try asking your question there in the German Lounge, but you'd probably need to use Google Translate to understand their answers. Maybe not, though, as many German speakers understand English quite well.

Just a thought.
