1) Endless Space® 2 - Untold Tales is fine

2) Endless Space® 2 - Lost Symphony is fine

3) Endless Space® 2 - Vaulters is fine

4) Endless Space® 2 - Stories -> spanish translation -> for pre-/overview only (else fine)

5) Endless Space® 2 - Guardians & the Galaxy Update -> english translation > for pre-/overview only (else fine)

6) Endless Space® 2 - Target Locked Update -> terrible german translation

7) Endless Space® 2 - Little Grin Man Update -> terrible german translation

8) Endless Space® 2 - Galactic Statecraft Update -> terrible german translation

9) Endless Space® 2 - Stellar Prisoner Update -> terrible german translation

10) Endless Space® 2 - Endless Day Update is fine

I could offer to translate for free, in case you don't have the ressources to pay for. Anything is better than what is presented in case of 6) to 9)

Edit: A hint for Community Challenge Recap content would be useful for new players. Perhaps best place for would be Steam DLC list, too?

Oof, that was hard to read. Good catch!

Also I just realized that I don't even know if the game has German localization or not, always played it in English and Steam installs everything in English for me.

You can switch to any other offered language this way:

1) right mouse click on Endless Space 2 in your steam game list

2) choose properties (last entry)

3) switch to language and choose the language of your desire

I hope the give you a little bonus for all you work, but yes these translations make the game look kind of cheap, which it isn`t.

Remindes me of the time with good old Oblivion where a good part of the translation was missing, wrong or bad.

German tranlation of Endless Space 2 description to the top right side in shop...

"Endless Space 2 ist ein rundenbasiertes Space Opera Strategiespiel, die in der mysteriösen Endless Universe nimmt. Als Anführer Ihrer Zivilisation erlegen Sie Ihre Vision, das grösste stellare Reich zu entwickeln?"

Don't ever make use of these... terrible translation machines. Instead call german community to care for (even a 7 year old native german child could have done better).

Best greets Groo - Guardians of german language - anti-pitchfork chapter

Edit: You all know about these bad translated phishing emails... pretty similar quality.
