Wrong translation in Arma 3 launcher (German)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

By starting Arma 3 via the new launcher, a text appears which says something like: "please use the launcher to end arma 3". The German Version of the text is: "Bitte beenden sie Arma 3 weiterhin mit der TRÄGERRAKETE". The word "launcher" should not be translated, because in this context it is also used in german. Like "computer" for example. "trägerrakete" is a the german word for "launcher" by describing the starting-device of spaceshuttles.
Its a funny but also wrong translation. {F24513} {F24514}

Hello,
thank you for reporting the problem. Even when I select language to German, the message is still displayed in English for me. Would it be possible to attach a screenshot of the error?

Generally the translation is not very well done.

I just realized that many if not all tool tips and also the checkboxes are poorly translated.

I recommend that you ask some native speaker to look over all German localization.

Example:

  • Tool tip of "Skip Intro" checkbox (which itself is not translated): "Deaktiviert die Weltbühne in das Hauptmenü." should rather be "Deaktiviert die Intro-Szene im Hauptmenü."
  • "Skip Intro" could be translated as "Intro überspringen" or "Intro deaktivieren"
