Translation hints
I've just gone through the whole german translation and found, besides some misspellings, misleading translations. This is probably due to translators not being aware of the exact gameplay mechanics of FreeCol.
As an example, the phrase "muskets and artillery" is not just an enumeration of random weapon types that can be translated by using any proper translation of the individual words. Instead, "muskets" are a specific type of equipment, and "artillery" is a specific type of unit. Wherever "artillery" appears in the original text, it should always be translated using the same term, and not by using "Kanone" in some cases and "Artillerie" in others.
Similarly, many other terms are loaded in that way as well - "Bells", in the FreeCol context, are not the things that make sound but an abstract type of goods being produced by units in the game, etc.
Can a note about this be added to the "translation notes" on this page?
You can put anything you find useful into Translating:FreeCol and in the message documentation. We don't have any terminology support here yet, so we have to use hints and notes in suitable places.
