There are numerous translation errors in the German localisation of the game!

Wrong unit name for “man-at-arms”

In the detailed description-text for the unit, it is incorrectly referred to as a ‘Waffenknecht’ (see screenshot above). The correct translation for the unit is “Schwertkämpfer” , as it is correctly displayed in the icon in the technology tree. (screenshot below).

Wrong translation for technology “thumb-ring”

The description of the technology ‘Thumb Ring’ has been incorrectly translated (see screenshot below). Instead of “Bogenschützen-Einheiten greifen 15 % schneller an. Schießstände und Plänkler feuern mit 100 % Treffsicherheit.” the correct translation should be:

“Bogenschützen-Einheiten greifen 15 % schneller an. Bogenschützen und Plänkler feuern mit 100 % Treffsicherheit.”

Wrong unit name for “Fire lancer”

The German name of the unit is misleading. The name ‘Feuerlanzenreiter’ and ‘Elite-Feuerlanzenreiter’ (see screenhot below) implies that it is a cavalry unit, although it is actually an infantry unit! The unit should be named “Feuerlanzenträger” and “Elite-Feuerlanzenträger”.

The name of the unit must also be adjusted in the civilisation bonuses for the Chinese, Jurchen and Vietnamese!

Chinese: Their last civilisation bonus “Feuer-Lanzenreiter und Feuerschiffe bewegen sich im Ritter/Imperialzeitalter um 5/10 % schneller” has to be corrected to “Feuerlanzenträger und Feuerschiffe bewegen sich in der Ritter-/Imperialzeit umd 5/10% schneller”

Jurchens: Their second civilisation bonus “Berittene Einheiten und Feuer-Lanzenreiter greifen ab der Feudalzeit um 25 % schneller an” has to be corrected to “Berittene Einheiten und Feuerlanzenträger greifen ab der Feudalzeit um 25% schneller an”

Vietnamese: Their third civilisation bonus “+20 % LP für Schießstandeinheiten und Feuer-Lanzenreiter” has to be corrected to “Schießstand-Einheiten und Feuerlanzenträger +20% LP”

Technology “parthian tactics”

The description of the technology should be adjusted. Instead of “Berittene Bogenschützen +1 Nahkampf/+2 Rüstung durchschlagen und +2 Angriffsstärke gegen Speerkämpfer.” (see screenshot above) it should be adjusted to “Berittene Bogenschützen +1 Nahkampf-/+2 Durschschlagrüstung und +2 Angriffsstärle gegen Speerkämpfer-Linie."

Also the description of the Tatars unique Tech “Silk Armor” has to be adjusted ( see heading: wrong unit name for “Steppe lancer” below for this)

Technology “Squires”

The description of the technology contains a spelling mistake (see screenshot above). The word “infanterie’ has to be spelled with a capital letter. The description “infanterie bewegt sich um +10% schneller".” should be corrected to “Infanterie bewegt sich um +10% schneller.”

Wrong unit name for “Steppe lancer”

This unit has a wrong name in the description text (see screenshot above). It should be called “Steppenreiter” and “Elite-Steppenreiter” as it is correctly displayed in the icon in the technology tree.

Also the Tatars unique Tech “Silk Armor” has to be adjusted. Instead of

“Berittener-Späher-Linie,Steppenlanzenreiter und berittene Bogenschützen erhalten +1 Nahkampf/+1 Durchschlagspanzerung” it has to be called “Berittener-Späher-Linie, Steppenreiter und berittene Bogenschützen erhalten +1 Nahkampf-/+1 Durchschlagrüstung”

Wrong unit name for “Siege Ram”

Instead of the name “Belagerungs-Rammbock” which is shown in the description-text, the unit should be called “Belagerungsramme” as it is correctly displayed in the icon in the technology tree.

Wrong unit name for “Mangonel” and “Siege Onager”

The unit “Mangonel” (see screenshot above) should be called “Mange” as it is correctly displayed in the icon in the technology tree. Also the unit should be adjusted as described in the description-text of those units in which it occurs.

The unit “Belagerungs-Onager” (see screenshot below) should be called “Belagerungsonager” and the description-text has to be adjusted. Instead of “Belagerungs-Onager erschaffen” it has to be “Belagerungsonager bauen”.
The term “erschaffen” (english: create) has to be used for normal units while the term “bauen” (english: build) has to be used for Siege weapons, ships and buildings.

Description of Blacksmith upgrades

Their have to be some adjustments for the description-text of the blacksmith upgrades more precisely in the case of the armour upgrades (see screenshot above). In every armour upgrade (for archers, infantery and cavalry) the words “Rüstung durchschlagen” have to be replaced. As an example the description text for the first armour upgrade for the archers “Fernkampfsoldaten +1 Nahkampf/+1 Rüstung durchschlagen.” should be adjusted to “Fernkampfsoldaten +1 Nahkampf-/+1 Durschschlagrüstung”. Also, for all of the technologies mentioned, a hyphen must follow the word “Nahkampf” as shown in the example.

University technologies and towers

There are numerous translation errors in this section.

The description-text of the technology “Mauerhandwerk” (english: masonry) should be adjusted from “Gebäude +10% LP, +1 Nahkampf/+1 Rüstung durchschlagen und +3 Gebäuderüstung” (see screenshot above) to “Gebäude +10% LP, +1 Nahkampf-/+1 Durchschlagrüstung und +3 Gebäuderüstung”. The text must also be adapted to the technology “Architektur” (english: architecture) according to the same principle.

The description-text of this upgrade is wrong. Instead of “Entwickelt Ihre Abwehrtürme weiter und erlaubt Ihnen den Bau stärkerer Wachtürme.” (see screenshot above) it has to be “Entwickelt Ihre Beobachtungstürme weiter und erlaubt Ihnen den Bau stärkerer Wachtürme.”

The description-text and the translated name of this upgrade is wrong. Instead of “Upgrade zum Bergfried” it has to be called “Upgrade zum Hauptturm” and the description-text has to be corrected from “Entwickelt Wachtürme zu Bergfrieden weiter, die stärker sind.” to “Entwickelt Wachtürme zu Haupttürmen weiter, die stärker sind.”

The description-text of the technology “Schießscharten” is completly wrong (see screenshot above). It has to be corrected from “Wachtürme erhalten +1, Wachtürme +2 und Bergfriede und Verliese +3 Angriffsstärke.” to “Beobachtungstürme erhalten +1, Wachtürme +2, Haupttürme und Donjons +3 Angriffsstärke.”

The technology “Maschikulis entwickeln” should be renamed to “Mörderlöcher entwickeln”. The description-text of the technology is also wrong. Instead of “Entfernt minimale Reichweite von Befestigungsanlagen, damit sie Ihre Feinde in deren Lager angreifen können.” it should be called “Entfernt minimale Reichweite von Befestigungsanlange, damit sie ihre Feinde am Fuß der Befestigungsanlagen angreifen können.”
Although “Maschikulis” would also be a correct term, the term “Mörderlöcher” should be preferred in order to ensure consistent wording.

The name of this tower is wrong. Instead of “Bastion errichten” (see screenshot above) it has to be called “Hauptturm errichten”. Furthermore the descprition-text should be adjusted. Instead of “Einheiten können dort zum Schutz in Garnison gelegt werden.” it should be called “Einheiten können dort zum Schutz einquartiert werden.”

Their are some mistakes in the description-text of the castle (see screenshot above). Instead of “Einheiten können zum Schutz in Garnison gelegt werden. Fernkampfsoldaten und Dorfbewohner stellen zusätzliche Projektile bereit. (…) Kann nich von feindlichen Mönchen bekehrt werden.” it should be called “Einheiten können zum Schutz einquartiert werden. Fernkampfsoldaten und Dorfbewohner feuern zusätzliche Geschosse ab. (…). Kann nicht von feindlichen Mönchen bekehrt werden.” The phrase should also be adjusted the same way for the description-text of the Town Center.
