Translating "Trade and Barter" into German (need som translati

[erikolaix]

Hello,

 

I'm working on translating Kryptopyr's brilliant mod "Trade and Barter" into German. This might seem peculiar since I'm not fluent in German yet, but I have high standards for the translations and verify anything I'm in doubt about.

 

I've completed translating the ESP-file, which has been unproblematic routine work because all the relevant phrases in need of translation have already been available in the German translation of the unofficial patches (Skyrim Director's Cut). So, it has mostly been a matter of locating, copying and pasting numerous strings of text into the correct fields and testing it all in-game.

 

Now I only need to translate the mod's MCM-menu into German. This is more challenging to me because all the translations must be done from scratch, and some of the terms are a bit too technical for me to be able to validate based on my limited German skills.

 

Below you can see the English terms that need to be translated, and my suggested translations of them all. Some of my translations are probably in need of improvement, so dear Germans, I'd greatly appreciate it if you can look through my suggested translations and let me know what's nicht in Ordnung.

 

Several terms tend to be very long in German, which can be problematic in the MCM-menu, so recommendation on how to shorten them down would be welcome as well.

My motivation for wanting to translate this mod into German is that I'm in the process of learning better German, and thus have chosen to play Skyrim in German, just as I've always played the Piranha Bytes games in German. I can be nearly obsessive-complusive about consistency, so having bits and pieces of English language in the game would annoy me.

 

Finally a small disclaimer: Once this mod has been translated, I'm going to contact its creator (Kryptopyr) about whether he'd like to upload it as an optional mod on his Trade and Barter page, whether I can upload it as an optional add-on to his mod (his would still be required), or if I at least can share it on a German mod site. His will shall be my command. :smile:

 

EDIT: I have updated some of the translations based on feedback from a user on the German "World of Elder Scrolls" forums.
