Hey, I like your Mod, if you're used to Google translator and Youtube auto-subtitles you almost forget that there are people who actually can translate.

Here some suggestions for improvement of the things already translated:

In the options menu:
The description of the Name in game thing is false translated, I think you mixed something up there, I can't really explain it, so I will just post a correct translation:
Nachnamen von "Name in game"- oder "Backstory in game"-Charakteren, die du gerne sehen möchtest:
I think it's better to leave the names in english, but here's a complete translation too:
Nachnamen von "Name im Spiel"- oder "Hintergrundgeschichte im Spiel"-Charakteren, die du gerne sehen möchtest:

In the work overview:
You wouldn't say Künstlern, not at all. Better change it too Malen.

If I see anything else, I will post it too.
Keep up the good work :)
Prasie the Squirrel!

I have done it to "Künstlern" because "Malen" is just one direction of art. How do you explain "Bildhauern" or "Ein Kunstwerk anfertigen" simply with "Malen"? The main reason for "Künstlern" is I didn't found an adequate global translation that is for all possible directions of art.
But.. It is a valid point to discuss :)

Dr. Z

Ok, thats a point. But still K�nstlern simply isn't a word  ;)
I would call it k�nstlerisch bet�tigen oder kreativ sein, I don't know any shorter form to descripe it.

The mod doesen't work with Alpha 3c, I can't sleect German in the options menu when activating the mod, just the unfinished one wich was delivered with Alpha 3.

Btw. if you need help with translation besides posting things to improve feel free to contact me, I would like to help you if needed.

I tried and it works perfectly in Alpha 3c, I don't know what is wrong to you..

Please attach the output log when you try to select german, maybe something's in there

Dr. Z

There is no output log because there is no option.
I have en_default; fr_test and de_DE_TheEisbear, which is, like I think, the version delivered with original Alpha 3, not the mod. There's no other option :(

The problem is, that this is not a mod.  You need to extract the content into the DE folder in your core/language path. It needs to overwrite the already there language.
Or you make a new folder alongside the other. The new folder will show up in your selection.
Right now that's the only possible way.

Dr. Z

Ok, in Alpha 3b it worked as mod so I thought it would be the same, thank you^^

Try redownloading this, and putting the Folder named 'German' into the mods folder, then enable the mod via the Modsmenu and try selecting 'German' if that doesnt work, try redownloading alpha 3c and redo all above.

I've moved this to the translations section.

This will probably be included in full in A4.

Thanks Tynan, I am really looking forward to do the full translation :)

Dr. Z

It works when I put the "German" folder in the core/language path, thanks for the advise
