Italian: The Silent One translates I Silenti, i.e. The Silent Ones.

Also, “Clean Filter” does not translated with Filtro Pulito (Cleaned Filter). Annulla Selezione would be a better translation.

The race names are sometimes singular, sometimes plural.

And is says “mystisch”, but should say “mythisch”. my **s** tisch translates to mystic which is a troop type, not a rarity type

German translation is messing up a number for the hero weapon “Cauldron”: ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/4/f/4f3e8c07b2487099b5190ed75244158646eb9ae6.jpg)

Pan’s Vale is translated as Valle de Lagrimas (Valley of tears) in Spanish. I think it should say Valle del Fauno instead (like that film _El Laberinto del Fauno_ says _Pan’s Labyrinth_ in English).

**Mistakes:**

[1] Weapon name should have **no apostrophe** in German.  
Is: Cobra’s Fluch ❌  
Should be: Cobras Fluch ✅

[2] Wrong boost/bonus: to Wildplanes instead of Naga/Mist of Scales

Is:  
für jeden Verbündeten aus **Wildebene**. ❌  
= for each ally from **Wildplanes**. (which is obviously wrong)

Should be:  
für jeden Verbündeten aus **Schuppennebel**. ✅  
= for each ally from **Mist of Scales**.

OR

für jeden Verbündeten **Naga**. ✅  
= for each of your **Naga** allies.

[3] Gem **colors** are wrong:

Is:  
erschaffe eine Mischung aus 6 **grünen** und **roten** Edelsteinen ❌  
= create a mix of 6 **green** and **red** Gems

Should be:  
erschaffe eine Mischung aus 6 **roten** und **lilanen** Edelsteinen ✅  
= create a mix of 6 **red** and **purple** Gems (like in the English version)

List of more mistakes for the **German** language that haven’t been fixed yet:

**Dawn Bird** (pet name)  
❌ Feuer **f** ögelchen (must be a typo, Fögelchen is not a German word)  
✅ Feuervögelchen  
The “cute” version of a Vogel (bird) is Vögelchen in German.

**The Devoted** (troop name)  
❌ Die Ergeben  
✅ Die Ergebene  
The **e** at the end is missing. The word without it does not make any sense.

**Urskayan Crown** (spell)  
English original: Create 9 Red Gems and summon a random **Urska troop**.  
❌ beschwöre eine zufällige Einheit **aus Urskaya**.  
(= summon a random troop **from Urskaya** )  
✅ beschwöre einen zufälligen Urska.  
(= summon a random Urska)

**King Mikhail** (spell)  
English original: Deal 9 more damage if I am Enraged.  
❌ wenn ich **gefesselt** bin. (= entangled)  
✅ wenn ich **wütend** bin. (= enraged)

**Dwarven Gate** (flavor text)  
English original: Speak friend and enter.  
❌ Sprich und tritt ein, mein Freund.  
✅ Sprich Freund und tritt ein.  
As the original is a Lord of the Rings quote, it should be the same in German and not just a translation.

**Dragon Turtle** (spell)  
Engl: Deal xxx damage to the first enemy, then Submerge myself.  
❌ Füge einem Feind xxx Schaden zu und lass mich untertauchen  
(= damage to an enemy, no mention of the first one!)  
✅ Füge dem ersten Feind xxx Schaden zu und lass mich untertauchen.”

**Stab von St. Astra - Staff of St. Astra** (spell)  
Engl: Cleanse all allies and give all Allies xxx Life.  
❌ Läutere alle Verbündeten und gib allen **anderen** Verbündeten xxx Leben.  
✅ Läutere alle Verbündeten und gib allen Verbündeten xxx Leben.  
The word **anderen** is to much.

**Humility** (spell)  
Engl: … boosted by Silenced enemies.  
❌: … verstärkt durch den gesamten Verstummten Feinden (just bad grammatical conjugation)  
✅ …verstärkt durch verstummte Feinde.

**Dryad** (spell)  
Engl: Nature’s Gift  
❌ Natürliches Gift (= nature’s poison)  
✅ Geschenk der Natur

**Draakulis** (spell)  
Engl: Vampiric Blade  
❌Vampierklinge (one e too much)  
✅ Vampirklinge

**Anubite Warrior** (spell)  
Engl: Summon a Fortress Gate.  
❌ Beschwöre eine Festungsmauer. (does not even exist in the game)  
✅ Beschöre ein **Festungstor**.

**Moloch** (legendary trait)  
Engl: Enemies lose 1 Skill point on 4 or 5 Gem matches.  
❌ Feinde verlieren 1 **Schädelpunkt** bei 4er oder 5er Kombinationen. (= skull point)  
✅ Feinde verlieren 1 Punkt einer Fähigkeit bei 4er oder 5er Kombinationen. (= skill point)

**Daemonic Pact** (trait in general)  
Engl: 25% chance to summon an Ancient Horror on death.  
❌ 25% Chance beim Tod einen Dämon zu beschwören. ( = random demon)  
✅ 25% Chance beim Tod einen Uralten Horror zu beschwören.

**Pyromania** (trait in general)  
Engl: Deal double Skull damage vs. Burning enemies.  
❌ Bewirke zusätzlichen Schädelschaden gegen brennende Feinde (= additional damage)  
✅ Verursache doppelten Schädelschaden gegen brennende Feinde.” (= double damge)

**Bonus content** :  
All the mistakes mentioned here, have not been touched either:

> For those who don’t know: I’m from Germany and do translation work for several things (mainly websites and university papers, but have also worked on some Flash games before). So, given how there were some funny Russian translation problems in GoW mentioned lately, I decided to take a look at the German tanslation of it, just for fun. I spent five minutes in madness. Just five minutes, skimming through some troops. I am… speechless. And I want to show everyone some of the funniest and most horr…

Would love to see all the feedback in this thread having an impact!

It’s the same for all 3 categories: 1 chest, 10 chests and 50 chests.
