German Skill UI translations are not usable

dwolfgheist · December 10

The german version of the game always had sets with wrong descriptions and skill description's that weren't completlely accurate.
Now however they are so bad, I don't even need to do a print screen to make my case, just ask any german speaker to take a look at the DK line for instances.
In general games tend to have issues in UI translations, since they require ingame knowledge that isn't always presented to the translators or is lost in middle management, even so it should never reach this state live. This had to go wrong on several fronts, it has issues that are purely linguistic. Please let me know if you wish for me to expand on the subject.

The first sentence's variables are completly nonsensical in the context of what is written here. This is just one example.

Gotta highlight this ones, please ask what happened. The text makes no sense at all.

And as a bonus, missing variables again in a sneak peak I found in the threads, not sure what you mean by "10 stacks of 38". Is 38 a placeholder? I imagine this is still in early works, since even "seconds" is missing in english.

It is a bug and german version is unusable right now

These are descriptions of future "reworked" DK skills, so there is no chance for it to be accurate. Somebody *** up and leaked this, and tbh, I wonder how in the world it is not hotfixed yet .

Thanks for the info! I also want to note that the lack of accuracy can even be seen in dual wield passives. "Rüpel" the passive that gives you 15% extra damage against enemies under CC states in german that the buff is only applied to weapon skills, when in english it states the buff is for all your skills. Same for sets, their errors predate this by a lot, if I would delve into those ...
