German translation

PS: how one would build a structurally sound bridge from (pure?) "Silizium" escapes my imagination somewhat...

Maybe it's a compound mainly consisting of silicon. I don't think the wooden bridge is made out of pure wood either. There'll be some steel bolts as well. Remember, this bridge is only available in the future.

Oh, and by the way, there are two Stahlträgerbrücken as well.

[frosch]

By default there are 2 tubular steel bridges, 3 cantilever steel bridges and 2 suspension steel bridges.
They have the same name, and just differ in speed limits.

What is the originial text for the newspaper article warning the company that they might be declared bankrupt?

[Jogio]

It is:

{BIG_FONT}{BLACK}{STRING} will be sold off or declared bankrupt unless performance increases soon!

in german:

{BIG_FONT}{BLACK}{STRING} Falls die Firmenleitung sich nicht bessert, wird der Verkauf oder die Insolvenz eingeleitet!

[bleistift2]

Does it look as strange in the english version?

[planetmaker]

Na, das habe ich doch spontan auf

{BIG_FONT}{BLACK}Falls die Firmenleitung von {STRING} sich nicht bessert, wird der Verkauf oder die Insolvenz eingeleitet!

geändert.

[Lukenwolf]

I think the translation sounds somewhat odd. Performance in that case would be translated to Betriebsergebnis, I think. A possible translation that is closer to the English original could be :

Code: Select all

{BIG_FONT}{BLACK}{STRING} ist von Übernahme oder Insolvenz bedroht, wenn sich das Betriebsergebnis nicht umgehend verbessert.

[planetmaker]

Du hast Recht - und ich habe Deinen Text da nun reinkopiert.

What do you think of "Betriebsbilanz"?

[Lukenwolf]

Bilanz is more like a final report of financial results over a given period of time, while Betriebsergebnis describes a more immediate snapshot of the company's financial health. While an Ergebnis can be influenced rather directly (loans, retiring uneconomic routes, selling surplus rolling stock), the Bilanz only changes later as a result of such measures.

OK

[FooBar]

OK

Just a heads-up: as of a week ago, posts less than 3 words are not allowed any more

[bleistift2]

Is there a reason why the bridges "Siliziumrundbrücke" (611 km/h), "Stahlrundbrücke" (515 km/h) and "Stahlrundbrücke" (321 km/h) are called "Rundstahlbrücke" in the "Gebietsinformation"?

[Eddi]

let me repeat myself: i think it should be "Röhrenbrücke [aus {Silizium|Stahl}]"

Zugdetails - Frachtübersicht: Transfer-Einnahmen --> Transfereinnahmen

"Subventionsangebot abgelaufen. Passagieretransport von [...]"

Is it possible that there are two different messages for when a vehicle can't get to its depot? "Fahrzeugdepot unauffindbar" and "Fahrzeugdepot nicht gefunden" or something like that.

[Eddi]

that question is ambiguous. did you see two different ones and wonder if that was intended or a bug? or do you want to have two different ones? (on which conditions?)

[bleistift2]

I think that I encountered a message that had the meaning of "vehicle can't find its depot" and that I haven't seen before, but I'm not sure. I didn't take a screenshot, so I neither can prove me wrong nor right.

Zeige Fahrtzeiten in Fahrplänen in Ticks statt in Tagen

What do you think of adding "74 Tick = 1 Tag"? this option does not only apply to the time a train takes to reach its destination, but also to the time it stays there, so I'd suggest "Zeiten im Fahrplan in Ticks statt Tagen messen/anzeigen. Ein Tag entspricht 74 Ticks".

Klicken und Ziehen

The term "drag and drop" is very common in German as well, I'd suggest keeping it in the translation

Wartungsintervall: 150Tage

There's a space missing.

Advanced settings -> "Fahrzeuge-> Maximale Anzahl an Zügen etc." I'd add "A higher value requires a better CPU" or something

I think the newspaper stays in colors afterwards.

Even better

Do you guys need the exact lines in that translation text file?
