Those who fix it always peek in here. The Staff though who answers everything here atm isn't involved into that process. And guy it takes a while, imagine how many language files Ogame consists of. And a few hours sleep are also nice.

I don't understand what needs to be 'fixed.'

Just go back to using the old language packs. Nothing was wrong with them. O_o

Thanks for a lot of the renaming and stuff, but I have some dislikes.

Things I disliked:
Small Cargo Ship = Small Transporter
Large Cargo Ship= Large Transporter(I enjoyed cargo ships much better.)
Espionage Probe = Spy Probe (Espionage was so much cooler!)
Small Laser = Light Laser Cannon
Heavy Laser = Heavy Laser Cannon
Plasma Cannon = Plasma Launcher
Anti-ballistic Missile = Interceptor Rocket
Interplanetary Missile = Interplanetary Rocket
Resources = Raw Materials (Sorry, but I hate this one the most)
Armor technology = Spaceship Armour (This is second most.)

P.S. Defense is still spelled wrong. (It says "Defence")

This always happens when something is changed about ogame.. give people the ogame board and a few hours and voila! 9 pages of repetitive spam. Don't get me wrong, i absolutely hate the new update/version/whatever it is. But 9 pages of spam? Come on, I know the community doesn't have to go to those lengths. All in all, because everyone has been affected by this (it's happened in every uni), and because all the higher authorities of Ogame know about it, there is no need to repost the same stuff over and over again.

edit: seems like there are other people who think like me (balefire) :P

give it a rest

The reason they made the change is because of the hundreds of threads and thousands of posts from the forums asking for the names to be changed. Too bad for you (the haters), they didn't change it to what you wanted it to be.

Besides, the only reason most people liked the old names is because they were used to them. You don't remember being a noob and trying to figure out what "chance for counter-espionage" meant?

Get over it. The simulators and CR converters will be updated, and so will the message sorters (for those of you with commander).

Lastly, saying what you like & dislike doesn't matter because there have been hundreds of suggestions before the change was made and they're already working on it (again) anyway.

All i can say is, it was a valiant effort in trying to update things a bit. Might i suggest getting rid of that "request not processed" crap. That would make Ogame alot better. The english translations are...ummmm...bad to say the least. I'd like the old names replaced as would most of the other players I would assume. Maybe try implementing some of the player suggestions posted in the suggestions thread to improve the gameplay.

what are you saying? You like the new mission name? (Station). I preferred the old one ;)

the symbol > means greater than... Meaning deployment mission is better than station mission. Im sure you learn this in mathematics.

Am I correct in thinking that by changing the names, you are trying to make the english more understandable, because the grammar is worse now.

"A fleet is returning" instead of the fleet has returned :(

For what it's worth, if you ever need translators in the future, I am a native English speaker and I do speak/read passable German. I would be happy to volunteer some of my time for proofreading and whatnot, or potentially even some writing if there are larger text elements that need translating. Just something to keep in mind if you admin types happen to read this post.

Hmmm... Was English your first language? You’re complaining about people’s grasp of the English language and yet you lack the basic grammar skills of a ten year old child. I agree than some of the names / descriptions in the previous language pack were flawed, but the new language pack is considerably worse. These will hopefully be rectified, in time, though.

Small note to mods/proggies/GAs/GOs/etc:


You asked for new DESCRIPTIONS...what in god's name would make you think everybody wanted new NAMES as well?

Don't suppose the fact that a "common term usage", such as RIP, SC, Res, etc had come into existance would tip you off that the names were deeply ingrained in people's minds?

So, suggestions made by a very few players are implemented even if the majority don't like it?

I'm going to have to suggest that they give me a pony.

I think much of the new terminology is potentially more confusing than the original terms.

"Casing" instead of hull strength? Casings are for shells, not ships.

"Transporter" instead of cargo ship? Transporter is so general, it can mean anything, from a Star Trek device, to a train, to a 1960's Volkswagen minivan. Cargo ship is more descriptive and specific.

"Station" instead of deploy? While station can mean assign or deploy, deploy is more specific. The problem is, station can also mean a transportation hub (bus or train station), a broadcast frequency (radio station), social position (one's station in life), etc. Again, a specific term has been replaced with a much looser, more general one.
