(new?) wrong city translations in german localization

[kingle92]

I just saw that the german version suddenly has some cities translated into german, but those translations are totally wrong, US city names aren't translated into German:

Cedar Rapids -> Zeder-Stromschnellen
Council Bluffs-> Ratsklippen
Cape Girardeau-> Kap Girardeau
Port Fourchon -> Hafen Fourchon

We call them like the english variant, the translations above just seem to be 1:1 translations of the english words they contain.

Other Cities like Port Angeles aren't translated. It's also more eastern-cities that suddenly have those strange translations. Maybe a kind of auto-translation that was added?

Translations are made by community members, so presumably just human error.

Would a correction of this need a bug report?

[Madkine]

No, this is the correct forum to report it.

I've noticed them too. Zedern Stromschnellen is my favorite. It's just hilarious and I kinda wanna keep that bug in game

And the cutscene at Lake Charles (LA) is named "See Charles" You really should quality check these translations...

More errors, the cutscene at Traer (IA, south of Waterloo) is named "Mitbringen", spanish to german translation of "traer" and the "Field of Dreams Movie Site" is named "Traum Feld".

I've noticed them as well and also found them pretty hilarious.
After reading this thread I'm wondering how one can apply as a voluntary translator for localization?

From February of this year the translations into English, Czech, French, Italian, German, Spanish (European), Japanese, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, and Turkish languages will be made with professional partners paid by SCS. I dont think they managed to check all the previous ones yet, so you just have to wait for them to be fixed?
