sich ... von .... die Show stehlen lassen
....- schien das Credo.

Can somebody help me? I don't know the meanings of these two sentences. It would be really important.

Thanks in advance.

They stole the show, don,t know if thats any good to you

Google translation,

to steal the show seemed to be the credo.

More German text would bring a better translation!

"die Show stehlen" means "to steal the show", easy

not sure about the reflexive thing in english, but anyway..
1. To let someone steal the show/To let someone steal one’s show.
You can say that if you allow for someone to outshine/outperfrom you.

2. ...- seemed to be the credo.

Credo seems to be used many times, at least around here, more like motto/slogan than conviction/statement of faith.

Hope this helps, if not I'm sure somebody here can give you a better idea about the meaning. Context would help.

Yup, I agree. More literally, it's just, "Letting the show to be stolen from oneself seemed to be the motto." Of course this is a bit awkward in English, to say the least, but it's how the "sich" came into the picture.

the above posts are correct. In German we say "sich von jemandem die Show stehlen" as infinitive, so you coul say e.g.: "er" hat "mir" die Show gestohlen or "er" hat "ihr" die Show gestohlen.

Credo is like motto/ slogan but more German context would help.
