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.

That's really cool! I think it's important to have good maps, you know a captain wouldn't leave port without one. Even though like you said it's good to not to turn it into Google Maps, I think it's cool when you have labels for bights and inlets and stuff so it's not just names of cities, the sea is what's important after all.

St. Petersburg's correct name was "Leningrad" back in the USSR days.

I'm playing in German language, and when clicking on that Island's icon the name is displayed as 'Heligoland', not 'Helgoland', which is the correct German name. Don't know how it shows up if played in English.
It's a question of linguistic consistency.

Helgoland and Leningrad added to list!

Some more errors in the german version as I repuzzle them (can't play, thanks to UBI

):

Türkey -> Türkei
Indischen Halbinsel -> Indische Halbinsel
Newfoundland -> Neufundland
Sweden -> Schweden
Rümänien -> Rumänien
Açores -> Azoren
Tenerife -> Teneriffa

Half of the names are in their native languages while the other half is translated...

What to do? Translate all of 'em?

Personally would change them all to one language
My vote would be German
Fits better
