Bug report - German translation of "Grade"

9102367
over 3 years ago

The German translation (not only for the 1040) is wrong

"Grade" schould be "Steigung"

Currently it is "Neigung" which means "Descend"

If feels demoralizing when I climb a Grade of 10% and the Garmin shows me that I should fly down right now :-)
P.S. If there is a better place to report bugs then please let me know (I searched and couldn't find any information)

    Haha good one. Not sure if this is the place to report bugs, nor have o any idea what is a convenient way to do so officially. Maybe we get lucky and a Garmin rep sees this.

    No, it's not wrong.
    "NEIGUNG"  means only the deviation from the horizon -> in both directions: up and down.
    If the grade is positive it is a "STEIGUNG" (ascent), if the grade is negative it is a "GEFÄLLE" (descent)!

    In the TEXT folder, there are the languages, if you open a language file, you will see the translation of each element. I edit them to my liking, shortening some information such as "Network of lights formed" by "Lights OK" for example, you can easily change all the texts you want

    Sorry, but "Neigung" is not neutral but negativ:

    Neigung: der Grad, um den sich eine Fläche oder eine Linie senkt
    Duden: das Geneigtsein, das Schrägabfallen
    As a descend is shown with a minus "Steigung" would be the correct German translation

    But the tip from ttalonso will ease my live :-)
