Deutsch Begriff oder Satz: Neue Rechtschreibung
Any descriptions of the origins, explanations and links for the new language rules on-line (in any language). Especially on mandatory usage.

How do you translate Neue Rechtschreibung in English?
Deb Phillips (X)
New German orthography
Erklärung:
Orthography: Correct or conventional spelling. (Illustrated Oxford Dictionary). I would add the word "German" in English; to a German, it goes without saying that Rechtschreibung refers to German, but I feel this clarification is needed in English.
The "Translate this page" key in Google gives this for Rechtschreibung, and although this is a highly dubious source, I feel they have got it right for once.

New Spellling


Erklärung:
This is a huge topic that cannot be adequately responded to in such a small space. If you do a simple Web search for "Neue Rechtschreibung" or "German spelling reform," you will find thousands of Web pages to tell you all about it. www.duden.de is a good place to start as well.

revised orthography


Erklärung:
"Neue" is kind of a false friend here. The changes introduced are revisions of outmoded spellings, using elements that already existed in the language.

Kommentare zu dieser Antwort (und Antworten vom Beantworter der Frage)
Widerspruch  Erik Macki: This is actually not true, though it is in part. The reform introduced many brand-new spellings, changes in punctuation and hyphenation, etc. Some very common words were respelled in ways that they had not been previously, e.g. "dass," etc.
