Garmin Geko 201 German Language !!!!!

[+fairplay]

If you take the GEKO 201 and chose the Virtua Maze game, you can use a "Cheat" function in order to see the global maze.

Ok, no problem here... but... if you use the German language... the Word "Cheat" is changed into "BESCHEISSEN" !! In fact "to cheat" would better be transnalted by "mogeln" so that mode should be called a "Mogel-Modus" .

 

The word "Bescheissen" that Garmin used here is so-to-say SLANG and means "s*** on somebody". The commonly used english word s*** is in German SCHEISSE.

 

I was very impressed when I saw that... maybe Garmin will correct that in a future update.. we'll se...

 

 

PS: I noticed when I checked this post this forum does not allow the word S... sorry for this, but I think that everybody understands what I meant :

Sierra-Hotel-India-Tango.

 

Sorry pals, I didn't want to be impolite, this post should only bee seen as a funny contribution without the aim of being rude.

Cut them some slack... you've got people from the middle of Kansas programming the German language they probably translated from Babelfish.

Of course, Before I wrote this Topic, I made Garmin a complete Email.

Man, I means errors always may happen.

Actually, the translation errors are fairly common depending on your language. Another user on here, jotne I believe, complained about the poor Norwegian translations.
