Translation Bugs (for the programers !)

Hi, I found a translation bug that is quite irritating. For example my army stands in Alabama and i get attacked by natives (Eingeborene in german), it says then in a message box or window: 'Feindliche Truppen aus Alabama greifen uns in Eingeborene an.' This is complete nonsense or badly translated, it must be: 'Feindliche Eingeborene greifen unsere Truppen in Alabama an.' Also in the same action it is telling that I have won a sea battle in Alabama. 'Wir gewannen eine Seeschlacht (sea battle) gegen Eingeborene in Alabama.' Well, it looks like every time a coastal province is involved it tells you something about a sea battle regardless whether you are engaged with troops or with ships. This should be changed depending of which unit (troops or ships) is involved. You could change this to (for land battle): 'Wir gewannen eine Schlacht gegen Eingeborene in Alabama' rgds MiWi BTW: If you have doubts about translation: I am german. And the game is great !

One of the reasons may have been that the german manual has been translated from the english one and not the original swedish one.
