At the bottom of all the marketplace pages it says

Tip: With 'buy' are also partial purchases possible!


Should be Tip: With 'Buy' partial purchases are also possible!

Or you can omit "also" altogether


Thanks.
Love the game

Good evening boss,
Hint: Don't you want to put in a few new co-workers? That also cost only with the attitude, then nothing more.

I don't really know what she wants to say ...

I guess someone wanted to say "increase". "attitude" has a completely other meaning I am affraid.

Selling research:

Do your really want to sell the research for 5,400.00 at once?

You can sell your research also on the technology market. But you will first get the money if there is a buyer for it.

Or send a purchase contract. But you will first get the money if the buyer signed the contract.

I recently made manager, so I have brand new (non-secretary) translation issues as part of my new level features ;) These are a bit more serious than the typical "poor english" sentence which you can still make sense out of, because they actually end up claiming an inaccurate fact.

The issue seems to revolve around a confusion in whichever automatic translator was used between "erst" in german (only when / once) and "Der Erste" (the first).
You never get your money first, then put the tech for sale.
You never get the money first if there is a buyer for your tech (they buy it first, then you receive the money).
=> You only get your money once someone bought the tech.

-----

When selling a tech on the tech market:
You can sell your research also on the technology market. But you will first get the money if there is a buyer for it.
Or send a purchase contract. But you will first get the money if the buyer signed the contract.
-----

The same exists with the building market:
You may also sell your building at the building market. But the money is first credited if there is a buyer for the building.
Or send a sale contract. But the money is first credited if the buyer signed the contract
-----

There are other issues with those sentences, as well as their little friends on the same pages ("Do your really want to sell the research for 43,200.00 at once?"). Rather than fixing one by one all the little flaws to get an accurate translation of these german sentences, they'd probably be best remade from scratch by an native english-speaking person (which I'm not), who gets the idea and expresses it directly in english. But the use of "first" in these 4 sentences felt very misleading, so that specific error probably deserves a fix in the meantime =)

One can use [ quote ] and [ /quote ] in IGM but the result is red text with Zitat:

instead of "quotation" (I'm not native speaker, but "quotation" should be fine).

The other is "Contest stats" in STATS:
in list of finished contests are von 14.11.2007 bis 23.11.2007.

Maybe "from" and "to" would be better.

Tutorial issues

Post by Guest » 18.01.2008, 05:44

I hope this is the right place for this!

1) At the bottom of each e-mail you get during the tutorial, there are two links at the bottom, like this:
Start over tutorial

Reset account without tutorial
Of course, the first one should really say
Start tutorial over
2) One of the tutorial e-mails contained some not-exactly-English, and I had to read it over several times to understand it. Also, some of the instructions didn't match the text on the screen being described:
Subject Next level!
Tutorial nearly finished!

Sale


Now we'll train the sale in a store!


Left hand above your company name is a contract shown. Click on it.

In the next window click on the ware name of the contract and sign it (click on sign).

Now go in the menu [Sale] to your just built Grocery and click on ready.
Left handed in the Grocery is: in sale. Click on change there.
Then enter in the following window the value 50 for the apples and sell them for 1,5
