Brief description of the issue:

The German locPak for the DC-3 is completely derailed, making it virtually impossible to follow checklists from in-game. Notably, the variant name for the Emerald Harbor retrofit made me realize the issue, too.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

English would be “Douglas Mesh the selected engine once energised”

Hope someone will correct the german version too…

German is now incorporated in the Duckworks DC-3 Improvement Mod.

I’d like to ask not to mark this as solution or to close this thread for as long as the base plane’s problem hasn’t been addressed. Thank you.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

Did not confirm it in the simulator, but I checked the .locPack translations of several languages and can confirm that there seems to be an issue.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

For example: the “GAME.CHECKLIST.RESULT.APPLY” key has the value “APPLY” in the English .locPack.
I will assume that the other language .locPack files should just contain the translation of every value in the respective language, but that the meaning of the translation for every key should not change.
That means that for the “GAME.CHECKLIST.RESULT.APPLY” example, the value in the german .locPack should be “ANWENDEN”.

Interestingly, for every other language than English that I checked, this does not seem to be the case, as the values do not seem to correspond at all to the keys.

So for other languages the example value for “GAME.CHECKLIST.RESULT.APPLY” translates to “OPEN WINDOW” instead of “APPLY”…
The English language does have a value “OPEN WINDOW”, but for the key “COCKPIT.TOOLTIPS.WINDOWOPEN_TITLE” instead, which seems correct.

Therefore I assume that the translation was originally done correctly, but for several languages, maybe even all others (I did not check all, just some like German, French, Russian…), the mapping between keys and values in the file seems completely different(wrong).
