This is the right place to point out errors or any other issues with the German translation and to get the moderators attention. The official translation project is here.

Hi @PatrickKlug,
just took a quick look and found this one at the first pick:
Vena, Erfinder der Master V-Konsole, hat den Vena Gear angekĆ¼ndigt. Die tragbare Konsole ist die Antwort auf den Gameling von Ninvento.{n}Ein Sprecher des Unternehmens sagte: āIm Gegensatz zu Ƥhnlichen auf dem Markt erhƤltlichen GerƤten, welche sich nicht mit Spielkonsolen messen kƶnnen, ist der Vena Gear im Prinzip leistungstechnisch auf demselben Niveau die Master V, auĆer, dass er eben tragbar ist.ā Der Vena Gear verfĆ¼gt auĆerdem Ć¼ber ein Farbdisplay.{n}Wird dieses GerƤt den Gameling toppen? Wir sind gespannt. Der Vena Gear erscheint {0}.
would sound better:

Hereās another:
Hi Chef! Ich habe ein Talent fĆ¼r Sicherheitsfragen und ich glaube, ein paar Sicherheitsverbesserungen wĆ¼rden unserem BĆ¼ro nicht schaden.āµ
Ich habe ein bisschen recherchiert und ich glaube, eine Investition von {0} wĆ¼rde die Sicherheit stark verbessern.āµ
Was sagen Sie dazu?
and how I would translate it:

@PatrickKIug: Can you please take a look on the lock feature. It drives me mad again. Iām always locked from the German translation branch and canāt commit any new translations, which are going into data nirvana.
@Hyphon: sorry, I missed this. Are you simply locked out or does the lock status change over time? Can you clarify how the issue manifests itself a bit more?
@PatrickKlug Sorry, was busy the last weeks on work. Lot to do and holidaysā¦ Nice combinationā¦
The lock prevent all changes I make on the German translation branch. I canāt submit own translations/suggestions nor I can approve suggestions I want to use. They are simply gone.
It seems only to occur, if I choose āstrings without translationā. The timer kicks in as I can see it in the master/German branch menu under the ālockingā tab. It shows, that I triggered the lock and the timer shows āXX Seconds to unlockā (XX any number from 59 to 01).
But the system seems to refuse any of my inputs and restart the timer.
Sorry for the trouble.
We will change the configuration so that translations are no longer automatically locked. Since we only have a few moderators per language this shouldnāt be necessary anyway and you can still manually lock the translation if necessary.
@FlorianBeer can you report back here when the configuration change is live?
@PatrickKlug Seems that someone had changed the config at the translation site. Works actual for me. BTW: Please take a look into your PM. Send you a typo in the English strings.
UPDATE OF GERMAN TRANSLATION BRANCH (11th. Jun. 2014):
- New strings added and translated
- Thanks to Kevin Palnau for your useful suggestions
Sorry for the delay, but as you read above, I had some technical issues with the translation website.
Sorry, I missed the String Update before. But I really get busy at the moment with āTake On Marsā
@PatrickKlug or @DanielKlug Can you please take a look into the open and fuzzy translations?
Could be too long or I missed the context of the some strings. Thanks in advance.
PARTIAL UPDATE OF GERMAN TRANSLATION BRANCH (10th. Aug. 2014):
- New strings added and approx. 75% translated, Rest needs clarification.
- Minor fixes.
āPosition besetztenā bitte Ƥndern zu āPosition besetzenā.
English:
Please change āPosition besetztenā to āPosition besetzenā.
the german translations seem to have been sabotaged.
the translations were better before, now in almost every single sentence is a serious error
Thatād be unlikely as only moderators can change the translation. Can you link to some specific examples?
yor example if you make a game report and the combination of something is very good it says āgroĆartigenā instead of āgroĆartigā
also when you open the publisher games it says āLizengebĆ¼hrenā instead of āLizenzgebĆ¼renā
When you create a new engine the text overlaps the name input box.
In the game creation menu, when you pick a platform for your game, the wort āZielgruppenĆ¼bereinstimmungā is too long, you canāt read that PC has Adult +++, because it overlaps with the row below.
I recommend to use a buzzword like āZielgruppenā.
