| The German term aktuell corresponds to the English current rather than actual. So the phrase Ein Thema von aktuellem Interesse means a topic of current interest. | 
| Actual in the sense of real or true, and its adverbial form actually, are usually translated by wirklich, in Wirklichkeit or eigentlich . So the question What did he actually say? might be rendered in German as Was hat er eigentlich gesagt? |
