[REQ] Correct names on map

KV · 03-04-10, 04:43 PM

Hello!

I haven't got the game yet, but I noticed on a few screenshots of the map that there are mis-spelled names, such as "Deutche Bucht" (should be Deutsche) and "Nord Meer" (latter should be written together). There are probably lots out there and it probably has been mentioned before, in that case I apologise and you can forget about this thread.

I assume it should be a quick fix?

Edit: Shall we start a list? I can't do much since, like I said, the game's not here yet, but if everyone chips in...

German and untranslatable names:
Deutche Bucht = Deutsche Bucht
Iverness = Inverness
Nord Meer = Nordsee (if they mean the North Sea)
Cherbourgh = Cherbourg
St. Petersburg = Leningrad
Heligoland = Helgoland
Türkey = Türkei
Indischen Halbinsel = Indische Halbinsel
Newfoundland = Neufundland
Sweden = Schweden
Rümänien = Rumänien
Açores = Azoren
Tenerife = Teneriffa

Add my cry to this request...

Another error is "Cherbourgh" (instead of Cherbourg). And actually it should be "Nordsee", not "Nordmeer". I'm sure there are many more.

Actually, it depends:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europ%C3%A4isches_Nordmeer

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordsee

It's difficult, because the area of operations of SH5 encompasses both the Norwegian Sea and the North Sea. But it's all nitpicking, the annoying thing to me is seeing things mis-spelled.

I'm not here for a discussion though, so I'll leave this to people who can actually mod stuff.

OK, good, let's keep up the hunt.

Yes keep up listing the errors guys, I might start working on this next when I'm done with my current project.

Unless someone else wants to step up first.

I've worked on translating the map names to German for SH4 Ops Monsun so I'm already familiar with it. Although I don't speak German so I had to rely on Google and Wikipedia, which took a very long time. Check it out here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ghlight=labels

It would be awesome if you could just make a list in this thread of the mistakes and what it needs to be changed to.

Also maybe we could add certain labels that are not already in the game. Not too much though, we can't turn this into Google Maps.
