Support Silent Hunter 2 German script

Hi there, I'm new to the forums and have a question about the script in Silent Hunter 2. I have taken the translator off so my crew speaks German. Good way to learn the language but I cannot seem to comprehend what is said without the English translation at the bottom of the screen. I have played this game so long I do recognize what crew is saying but I have a hard time getting the real meaning as I have found that the script is not what the Germans used or are using today. I have figured out most of the script but some words still sound like gibberish and I also have trouble spelling German words so finding the translation for the script is a chore for sure. Is there anyone here who could tell me what the German script is so I can put them in my archive?
An example of what I need translated is for the words, "ship spotted". The internet gives me a translation that does not sound like the script that I hear. Blow Ballast is another, Rig for Red, Snorkel in Use, Ship is Sinking and all that is said after that, and what is said when a torpedo hits the target, High Speed Screws Detected, All Stop, Mission Ended, We Are In Shallow Water, We Have Run Aground, Secure From Red, Flooding Ended.
I have figured out the rest but these are hard for me to get. Some of my German speaking friends do not know what I am saying because I cannot repeat the words correctly and cannot spell them. Some of them say it may be a Bavarian dialect or it may be the fact that they know nothing of Submarines and Ships in general. The friends that I have who are familiar with ships and subs do not speak German.
If anyone can help I would surely appreciate it
