hello fellow MC fans
i have some problems with the german translation of the mod. some unit descriptions as well as descriptions of upgrades and unit abilities are either not available at all, saying something completely different or being outdated. here are some examples that are popping in to my head right now...
1.) us sniper description still says that the sniper can be upgraded with an anti-material sniper rifle but only the spotter upgrade is possible.
2.) the description of the special ability that comes with the spotter upgrade for the sniper describes an m-203 shot.
3.) stryker HMG upgrade still says that nearby units gain increased combat effectiveness but i believe this feature has been removed already.
4.) the drone (air superiority doctrine) of the USMC still has the description of the littlebird helicopter
5.) the M1A2 for the USMC has no description at all. all i get there is a dollar sign followed by a lot of numbers and a "No Key" at the end.
these are just the things that i can think of right now. i'm going to do some additional testing and complete the list if i can.
i would like to know if any of you guys (that use the german version) experienced the same or if something is wrong with my mod.

Re: German translation missing/misplaced
ok. so i did some skirmish games and checked out all descriptions for units, unit abilities, upgrades, doctrine unlocks as well es the descriptions for activating doctrine abilities.
in my previous post i wrote that i'm going to complete the list of the incorrect/outdated german translations. i did it on paper first. result: one page (28 lines) for the US factions and half a page (15 lines) for the PLA (one line = one wrong/outdated translation). i'm not going to post the entire list here because it would be simply too much.
if anyone from the dev-team reads this, i would appreciate if you could do something about it. if you don't have a translater for english->german then i would offer my services but be advised: i don't have any modding experience. all i can do is simply translate text files. implementing them into the mod would be up to you.

Re: German translation missing/misplaced
The German UCS file hasn't been updated for almost a year (another community member like yourself donated his file). We managed to get a proper translator a few months ago, but I haven't heard from him since January as he's otherwise occupied. So yes, your assistance would be appreciated.
If you're willing to commit then I'll send you the relevant files (you'll only require Notepad).

ok. i would give it a try. send me the relevant files.
i'm gonna send you a private message with my e-mail address because i'm not sure if you have access to see it somewhere here at forums.

Sorry for the (incredibly) late reply. Are you still interested Crafty?

Re: German translation missing/misplaced
oh... i thought the hole thing was already off the table because it took you so long to reply. but yes. if you still need a translater i'd be happy to help you out. do you still have my private message from last time? the one with my e-mail address?
