Unworthy german translation
Hello,
first of all i have to apologize in advance for my poor english, i hope that you will understand what i am trying to tell you
i live in germany and i am a big fan of telltales twd which i bought on release date for my xbox 360, the version i played first was exclusively on english.
my xbox got broken a week ago so i bought the TWD Season Pass for my Playstation 3 only for the purpose to play 400 days.
anyway, while playing season 1 again i realised that now there is a german translation for the game which is pretty awesome... but after 10 minutes i was shocked.
i mean that is not what i would have expected from telltale. the translation is a total mess. even the menu has some strange translations and some sentences do not make any sense which leads to wrong decisions. i kept on playing until episode two where one sentence is so wrong that i got the feeling someone just used google translator.
is there a chance that you guys gonna fix this problem?
btw. i would volunteer to correct those sentences for free if you send me the whole german script.
(yes, unlike my catastrophic entlish my german is absolutely good xD )
best regards

i am not so sure about that.
the whole dialogues of the game are telltales literary property, any contract with translators (in this case bad ones) would be solely for the translation as a service.
at least that would be the case regarding to german judicature.
