Is "millipede" a good english word for "Tausendfüßler/Tausendfuß" (=german) ?

Millipede is what I have always called them and so has everybody else.

Thanks for letting me know how to say it auf Deutsch.

Tina, you are confusing centipedes and millipedes.

They are two totally different critters.

the translation is "centipede" and this is more accurate than the German word because this animal has only about 100 legs and not thousand.

Yep

Tausenfuessler is a millipede

Hundertfuessler is a centipede

Yes it is a literal translation TAUSEND is one thousend or

mille in Latin, FUSZ means foot or pede in Latin

Yes.

technically yes, since tausend means 1,000 (like milli), however I have also seen it translated as "centipede"

What the hell are you talking about?????
