The scholars responsible for the Septuagint translation of the Tanakh into Koine preserved this tradition by writing appearances of the Tetragrammaton as grc ὁ κύριος the supreme one; the Lord, Kyrios) and German translations of the Bible have similarly presented appearances of Adonai as "Herr" or "HErr" while presenting appearances of the Tetragrammaton as "HERR" (see image).
