Wrong catch phrases

Dear Groundspeak,

 

while browsing through the dictionary today, I found some translations for the english catch phrases which are indeed wrong (or maybe were not double-checked as the posted one might have been a place holder) :)

I hope that you will not find me (nit-)picky but I thought that it might be important for new cachers to find the correct translation.

Please find below:

 

Fehler

Auch bekannt als Travel-Bug®. Travel-Bugs sind nachverfolgbare Metallanhänger, die an Gegenständen angebracht werden können und von Geocache zu Geocache (oder von Person zu Person) transportiert werden. Damit kann man die Gegenstände auf Geocaching.com orten. Weitere Informationen zu Travel-Bugs und Trackables gibt es hier.

Not sure what the intended catch phrase intitially was (most possibly "bug" as the direct translation would be "Fehler" in german). It should definitely also read "Bug" without translation here.

 

Geocache

Eine kürzere Version des Wortes Geocache.

This surely should only read "Cache".

 

Geocacher

Auch bekannt als Geocacher. Jemand, der das Hobby Geocaching ausübt.

This surely should only read "Cacher".

 

GPS-Empfänger

Umgangssprachlich für einen GPS-Empfänger. Ein Gerät, das GPS-Signale zur Navigation empfängt.

Not sure what the initial catch-phrase for this one might have been.

 

SL - Signed Logbuch (Ins Logbuch eingetragen)

"ins Logbuch eingetragen".

The abbreviation "SL" should best be translated to "Signed logbook" instead.

 

Regards,

Chris(Hdot)
