Guest Sgt. Emren Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Hmm, my German lessons are indeed far away, so perhaps someone can correct me.... but isn't the German word for 'if' and 'when' the same word (wenn)? That might explain the bad english on CDV's part, i.e. "...WHEN the game is finished in October...". Am I just hoping in vain that I'm correct? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a native German speaker, but IIRC: 'Wann' = when 'Wenn' = if No doubt someone will be along shortly to tell me how much I've forgotten from my high school German classes. pilgrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 The two German words which I suspect have been mixed up are "falls" - in case "wenn" - when It is a pretty common error for Germans to use "if" for any of these words, and then some. The original German sentense was probably "wenn es im Oktober released wird" (= when its released in October) and not "falls es im Oktober released wird" (=in case it is released in October).

Gun Dog Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 What I still dont understand is 'why' CDV has to re-make an english version when there is already one available? I unsderstand there are some sensitivites about the SS, but is that it?? Is there more that I am missing? What is the issues on the Continent that make distribution issues so different as in the US? It seems CDV is simply a distributor (alas, apparently, a poor choice for one), but if everything is already coded and written for english, is it that difficult to simply changes the few lines of code that reference SS? (Pardon my ignorance, but I have not followed this distributor issue until only recently when I noticed problems arising with CDV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you think how long it takes to tear the last 2/3rds off a few thousand manuals? The safedisk copy protection also seems to be a bitch to apply, accourding to what people told me (I don't do retail software myself). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
