Loading Screen Translation Error

Post by ApoxNM »

Hi guys,

juts want to point out that in the english version, in the loading screens, whenever there is a reference to the "CTR" or "SPACE" Buttons, it says "STRG" and "LEER" for the german words.

I'm not sure what your point is. Those are the normal German names for the CTRL and SPACE keys.

I think he is talking about the english version, so he expects the english translations for those of us who are monolingual(english) :-)

They are translated, but they come directly from Windows. If you run the game on a German copy of Windows then the key names will appear in German; on an English copy of Windows they will appear in English. The text for the key names doesn't come from the game itself so we can't do anything about the language mismatch if you, say, run the game in English on a German Windows installation.
