I hate the german translations

Post by Pittie »

Always the same. I wonder why my moose does not count for the christmas moose mission.

English description: Harvest a Moose with a weight of 450kg (Approx. 992 lbs) or higher using any .45-70 Rifle
German description: Erlegen Sie einen Elch mit einem Gewicht von 450kg (ca. 992 lbs) oder höher.

Please work more careful at translations.

Thank you
Regards Pittie

These are mistakes made by someone who makes hundreds of translations which they do on free terms. Just report the mistake. To say all translations are bad is a bit exaggerated. ;)

As Hoo said: you have to keep in mind that the German translations (like all translations as far as I know) are made by a volunteer team. If they didn't invest their free time, we all had to play in English, even those that don't understand it very well. So let's be a little forgiving here, mistakes do happen - even though I understand that it can be annoying to find out after trying to fulfill the mission objectives without success.

I see that you informed the German community about those wrong translations in the German forum, good job doing that! :)

German trans. is not beta as I know ? Am I right ? They are translating missons, but not correctly. So Im thinking, they are doing that intentionally cause Google Translate is better than them lol.

credit to the translation-team where its due. shouldnt happen thou; there are still hundreds (id guess) of players that use german as language; and why has someone working 40h and more who just wants some time with his game to rely on a half-a***d translation? mistakes like this happen; thats ok, and using english as game-language is the wise choice; but maybe ew should spend some time rethink the system. like that major settings are done by ew-staff and need no further translation or are automatically translated.

for example:

comp-name: feline navidad
weapon: .223
treestand, etc: yes (automated translation with this should work)
shooting distance: <20m

etc

that would bring also some conistancy to the actual system.
