The challenge with translations.....

This is directly from the official Oktoberfest web site (https://www.oktoberfest.de/en/). They are reporting on the construction activity at The Wisen. I know, only us old dirty minded Oktoberfestians enjoy this...

"In the first week "only" about 50 workers were busy with the erection. But as soon as the small tents arrive after the big ones, followed by the rollercoasters and the many small huts, when electricians, plumbers and carpenters start their work, there will be about 8000 people involved in the erection until "O'zapft is!“. By the way, also female workers!"

Thank god for the female workers with all that erection.
