Hi DW
Bit of a compromise for you unfortunately if you want to stay with the mods.

I think once you settle in and understand the differences you will be ok.
If you are not sure what something means then pause the game, press the Windows key, use the Google translator.
Sounds a bit long winded but is not that time consuming.

You might find this useful is a list I knocked up when having a similar problem as you.

LAUFSTRECKE -------------------RUNNING DISTANCE
RICHTUNGSANDERUNG ------OF DIRECTION
GEGNERFAHRT------------------ TARGETS SPEED
LAGENWINKEL---------------------- A.O.B.
ENTFERNUNG --------------------DISTANCE TO TARGET
AUFTREFF-WINKEL -------------IMPINGEMENT ANGLE
GERADLAUF ----------------------STRAIGHT RUNNING
STREUWINKEL -------------------ANGLE
TIEFE --------------------------------DEPTH OF TORPEDO
ZIELRICHTUNG ------------------UPPER – TARGET ANGLE
TO LOWER – PERISCOPE BEARING
SHUBWINKEL -------------------GYRO ANGLE
GRAD -------------------------------DEGREE
PEILUNG ---------------------------BEARING
LAGE --------------------------------POSITION
SCHIFFSPEILING ---------------TARGETS BEARING?
GEGNERKURS ------------------TARGETS COURSE
EIGENEN --------------------------OWN???????
LAGENWINKEL ------------------ POSITION ANGLE
Target Bearing or TB (Schiffspeilung, Seitenwinkel, or omega ω) – the angle from the bow of the U-boat to the target (0° being the bow of the U-boat).
Angle on the Bow or AOB (Lagenwinkel or gamma γ) – the angle from the target’s bow that their crew would see you (0° being the bow of the target ship).
Lead Angle (Vorhaltewinkel or beta β) – the angle ahead of the target bearing that the torpedo or U-boat must run to intercept the target (also called the deflection angle).
Intercept Angle (Schneidungswinkel or alpha α) – the angle between the target’s course and the torpedo’s track (also equal to 180° – Track Angle).
Track Angle – the angle at which the torpedo will intercept the target (0° being the bow of the target ship).
Gyro Angle (Schußwinkel) – the angle that the torpedo is programmed to turn once it leaves the U-boat (0° being the bow of the U-boat).
Own Course (Eigenerkurs) – the true direction the U-boat is traveling (0° being north).
Own Speed (U-bootgeschwindigkeit) – the speed of the U-boat in knots.
Target Course (Gegnerkurs) – the true direction the target is traveling (0° being north)
Target Speed (Gegnergeschwindigkeit or Vg) – the speed of the target in knots
Target Range (Entfernung) – the distance to the target in meters.
Torpedo Speed (Torpedogeschwindigkeit or Vt) – the speed of the torpedo in knots.
Firing Range (Schußweite) – the distance the torpedo will travel to hit the target
