I'm not sure why is all what u're saying is making very little sense to me. Looks like we have very different perception of what/who Vaulters are.

1. On Auriga Vaulters came out to surface from the sort of a Vault which contained not Vaulters alone, but their tech and data bases ((valuables) which they couldn't use or decipher at a time) because of that word derivation makes perfect sense to me and imo fits way better than Haven (Убежище)...

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I regard these valuables more as a means of survival than something sacred. I possibly just prefer a "victim" kind of characters over honorable heroes. Nevertheless, I will try your way of thinking if I ever play the Russian version of the game. Localization patches seem to never address such major items anyway (enough to mention "the Riftborn" having been translated as "Time Lords").

Because most of the time there were a lot of thought and justification already put in those (major items) translations (i guess :D). But Riftborn are Time Lords in gamefiles, so it's actually English translation off point. :D

Cheers!

As far as I remember, "Time Lords" was the original name of the faction, but the Devs cast it away at some point for a reason. As I see, "Riftborn" sounds more awesome :) and emphasizes a more important feature of the faction. Therefore, it looks like the translators used the outdated name in the gamefiles without a detailed consideration.

I would be happy to know that all these deviations were conscious decisions negotiated with the Devs (who am I to criticize the vision of an artist?), but the amount of more obvious mistakes in localization makes me think of an insufficient supervision from Amplitude :(

Here is another minor typo that I noticed on the hero skilltree window playing the latest version (V1.2.1 S5 GOLD-Public).

Russian localization still has this problem. And it is still not solved! Please change the symbol of science in this technology to the symbol of dust. Because in other localizations there is dust. Moreover, in the game this technology turns the industry into dust.

All Vaulters quest we get on behalf of the matriarch, but in russian localisation "she" is translated as "he", so it seems that the story is on behalf of men, not a women.

And some new text are still in English, like the one on the screenshot.

And I can confirm Vadien's report of a technology icon bug.

Horatio Quest, Chapter 4, Eco-Route

German Translation

"fertile" (like in planet type) is translated with "fruchtbar" in the game. 

In the Quest-discription, there are 2 other words used for fertile.  (red circle)

PS: Also why did they change the Name for the Endless in the german version? They were called "Die Infiniten" in Endless Space 1 and DotE (I think EL too). Now, they are called "Die Endless", which is kinda weird, because the name of the Lost is translated...

Könntest Du Deinen Beitrag hierhin kopieren -> Deutsche Übersetzung - Kritik Anregungen ?

Ich hoffe, im nächsten Patch sind bereits einige eingereichte Änderungswünsche für die deutsche Version vorhanden. Sollte es nicht der Fall sein, werde ich den Entwicklern erneut auf die Nerven gehen müssen. Sollten die Änderungen also im nächsten Patch (immer noch nicht) vorhanden sein, habe ich vor überarbeitete XML Sprachdateien für die deutsche Version zum Download anzubieten (runterladen und Dateien ersetzen - einfacher geht es nicht). Da ich bereits erfolgreich mit den Sprachdateien herumexperimentieren konnte, würde ich mir die Arbeit ans Bein binden.

Danke im voraus.

German Translation:

Uh, uh, uh, I forgot this one.

Craver-Sempai says "Angrif".

That's just a simple typo, it needs to be "Angriff"
