German translation needs improvement!

It seems it is AI translated, there are wrong translated words, and the structure of sentences is often wrong (German sentence structure is different than in English).

Dear EHG, please let a German speaking person have a look at the translation to improve it!

Thanks, and keep up your fantastic work!

One of the reasons I play in english XD

Did you see the ā€œknock-knockā€-joke? They translated the answer ā€œNonna your businessā€ with ā€œDai Muddaā€. (For our english readers here it would be something like ā€œYour Momā€ but in a condescending way.)
Thats not gonna age well and is super cringe imo. XD

Maybe they shouldn“t hire a 15 yr old Fortnite kiddy to translate but someone more sophisticated that knows how to translate in a more sophisticated manner to reflect the games atmosphere/ambience. XD

I don“t know why Grim Dawn is the only hack and slay were the devs allowed the community translation. The result is a really good translation, with no costs.

But a lot of devs choose AI or ā€œprofessionalā€ translators (who are sometimes not even good in this job…).

Anyway, let“s hope it will be improved, I can live with a not perfect translation, but this one needs a little more love. :wink:

In the meantime I will play it in English (it has some positive points, e.g. most sources of information or the LE tools are in English).

it really is annoying. the translation uses various german words for the same thing like minions. the german version uses 4 different words for the same word. the same with resistances. ive seen 2 different words used.
it would be nice if the same word would be used for the same thing. less confusing for people that dont know english very well

That“s why I“m sure that they used an AI.

The AI uses a word out of a pool, and choose one of the available words.

And as I said, the setences are translated word by word, so you have a lot of wrong sentence structures.

Need ā€œhumanā€ rework. :man_shrugging:
