[WIP] German Map Labels

etheberge · 09-28-09, 11:45 PM

I decided to translate the map labels to German to fit in more with the German campaigns.

So far I have all the default labels done + about 15 extra ones. I expect to add maybe 30 more, plus translate also some of the land/island markers when necessary.

Here's some previews:

I'll probably be done around the end of the week or during the weekend.

If anyone notices any typos or anything in those screen shots, let me know cause I don't speak German.

Looking very good, Big E... of course I don't read German either!

It's not "Der Kanal", but "der Ärmelkanal", but since you don't use the definite article anywhere else on your maps, you shouldn't use it for the English Channel either. So just "Ärmelkanal".

Look here, btw...

Thanks a lot Carotio, I'll make the correction.

Small update:

The mod is progressing well, I'm now up to 192 translated and/or new map markers. I want to add a few more to the North Atlantic and American/Canadian east coast because those sectors are pretty bare, then it should be ready for release.

If anyone has any suggestions for markers they'd like to see in those two areas, now's the time.

Great idea! I'll certainly use it. Anything that improves realism/immersion/feel is first rate in my book!
