Hi there,

I noticed the german translation of the game (at least some of the texts) seems to be made by someone who wasn't a native german speaker. There are some very quirky phrases. What can I do to help you in providing a better translation?

Also wenn du Lust hast könntest du die seltsamsten Exemplare hier korigieren. Dann könnten wir die Devs drauf aufmerksam machen.

(Lass uns lieber Englisch reden, damit die anderen auch etwas verstehen können )

Ok, I will post my changes in Public\Localization\german\ED_Localization_Locales .xml here:

Old (completely wrong):

Angreift die anderen Monster

Better:

Greift die anderen Monster an

Old (not yet translated):

Items lost when leaving a floor

Better:

Gegenstände gehen beim Verlassen des Levels verloren

Old (not yet translated):

Items shared between players and lost each floor

Better:

Gemeinsame Gegenstände von Spielern; gehen beim Verlassen des Levels verloren

Old (unintelligible):

Fügt die Geschwindigkeit \7812\ aller Feinde im selben Raum um $Value %.

Better:

Modifiziert die Geschwindigkeit \7812\ aller Feinde im selben Raum um $Value %.

Old (quite unintelligible):

Dividiert die Verteidigung \7811\ aller Feinde im selben Raum um $Value.

Better:

Dividiert die Verteidigung \7811\ aller Feinde im selben Raum durch $Value.

Old (unintelligible):

Verleiht einem grossen Modul und fügt $Value Intelligenz \7817\

Better:

Bedient ein großes Modul und fügt ihm $Value Intelligenz \7817\ hinzu

Old (grammatically incorrect):

Folgt der Held

Better:

Folgt dem Helden

Thanks!

Awesome work.

The english text is partially my fault. The devs asked for help in time for the patch and I was on the road

Not too fond with any of this, but I would be willing to lend a hand, or both, to tweak translations aswell. One just gotta tell me where they are located.

(Also, first post ever, hoorah!)

Hi BlackArchon,

Thanks for your help!

For some keys, like SharedInventoryPanelDescription, we have a very limited space (about 50 char for this one for example)...

I'd rather use "Teilt" instead of "Dividiert". While both are - technically - correct, "Teilt" seems more natural to use than "Dividiert". The latter sounds so...bureaucratic.

P.S.: Also, regarding SharedInventoryPanelDescription:

"Gemeinsame Gegenstände; werden nicht mitgenommen"

I think it's pretty clear and it's only 48 characters long.

Ok, are there other length-limited text keys?

Wickermoon's suggestion is also fine, use this please.

We have the same space for InventoryPanelDescription (your suggestion fits exactly ^^) but no limitation for the other keys!

Thank you wickermoon for your suggestion
