Driver 4.1.035 translation error

There are some translation errors in german language. Some are cosmetic, some are really confusing people.

On the Mainpage:

In "Options":

"Close to Tray" is translated as "Schliessen und Zwischenablage leeren" It should call correctly: "Schliessen und in Tray minimieren" (translated 1:1 it is called tray=Ablage but it will confusing people. We all know it as tray. Nobody says "Ablage".)
And with "Zwischenablage", we mean the Windows clipboard (function).
I was wondering why there is no "close to tray" option since v.4.1.035 Now I know why ;)

"Perdiodic News Check" = "Periodisch auf Nachrichten pr�fen" and it should called: "Periodisch auf Neuigkeiten pr�fen".
You can also use "News" instead of "Neuigkeiten"("Periodisch auf News pr�fen"). In german we also say news ;)


In "View":

"Gauges" = "St�rke" - but it should called: "Kurve", "Empfindlichkeit" or "Beschleunigung"


When Editing Profiles:


In "Preview Windows" you translate "Gauges" = "Weite" - should be "Kurve" or "Empfindlichkeit" etc. (see above)

In the "Gauges" Window:

"Yaw" = "Gierung" - simplify it and call it "Drehen" or "Drehung".

"Pitch" = "Taktabstand" - complete wrong translation...call it "Nicken".
"Taktabstand" means the pitch in music/sound. And has nothing to do with that pitch what you mean :)


Hotkeys:

"trap" = "Falle" - but better call it "Verlangsamung" or "Bremsen".(Sorry there is no better Word for it)
Trap means primarily animal trap in German :)


Cheers

P.s.: You really shouldn't use Google translator or something else :) Ask in the Forum for translator ;) I'm sure the guys will translate it for free ;)

This is good feedback, thanks for sharing it.

Shame on me!!!

I "misread" it.

I mixed "trap" with "precision"

"trap" should be called "Einfangen" in this case....sorry for that.

@Birch Zimmer: I didn't saw that. ;)

Most of the words are already correct. Just the few above are not translated correctly :)
