So the conclusion of the mail is: WG is not capable to manage more or less complex business use cases – what a suprise :)

Wait Otto… so you say that you are not against the localization to other languages as long they get the english one “right&tight”? :S
What if they do a neat french translation (heck WG EU is located there!) with a pisspoor english one?

My favourite in Polish version always was “Reaper” translated as “Ripper” (well, I guess we’re lucky it wasn’t “Raper”).

You can’t penetrate the suspension while sidescraping a T34 with your your Bat-chat. Got it. ;)

Generally you are correct, but I remember at least two instances in the past where initially it was the Polish version of the event description that was correct, not the English one.

It’d make a great soap opera. Hell, I might even consider watching it myself!

Well, first the mistake must be spotted and second reported for anything to happen. If no one has reported it they might be able to backedit silently without their paycheck beeing affected. Once the fault has been posted here there is no way of sweeping it under the rug.

According to the description above, this is how WG translation works in EU.
