Text languages not consistent

Thanks again,

Yes. Sub systems have original German names but their descriptions are in English...

Is this how it is intended to be? If so, how can I change it? However much I love this game I don't think it qualifies as a valid reason to learn German by itself.

Equipment names are defined in submarine upcge files (data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7*\NSS_Uboat7*.upcge). You can edit them manually if you like but I really don't see why since the description for the equipment is still in English...

I'm going to give that a try asap. Why? Because for example when I'm being depth charged and I've got damage I don't want to have to spend that etra little time reading descriptions t ofigure out what everything is, so that I can decide what has highest priority to fix. I'd rather just look at it and read it immediately. Just my way to play.

Edit 1:
vdr1981: I found the file you mentioned, and may need a little help understanding the contents.

In the beginning there is a Captain Data section - pretty straightforward other than the name is not the one I chose for my campaign. Not sure how relevant this is.
Then the Submarine Type Definition which again is straightforward other than the UnitName variable being set to U-27 - I'm U-96 in the campaign.
Then the Status of Equipments & Weapons section, followed by the Compartments Structure section.
Here is where I start seeing German. I guess if I change the NameDisplayable variables from German to the English equivalent it will update in game, but before messing around with files I clearly don't understand I would appreciate if you can confirm this so I don't mess everything up.

And this is really interesting anyway because I do want to create some mods eventually, and this is valuable info.

So thanks again!
