Default German affiliates or German players?

Just letting you all know that the Sunpoker.com site is now in German: http://www.sunpoker.com/de/home/index.asp

If you have any German pages or sites, please refer them to the new Sunpoker.com German site!

Best Regards,

Mark

Default Problems

There still seem to be some problems, though ...

- http://www.sunpoker.com/de/promotions/promotions.asp gives you some strange language description of "one sick bonus" (btw the tab "promotions" probably would be more adequately named "BONUSAKTIONEN")

- the "Bankwesen" tab gives you pictures with English phrases "Fund With Neteller" (and the name of the tab should be something like "EINZAHLUNGSSICHERHEIT", "SICHERE TRANSAKTIONEN" or "EINFACH EIN/AUSZAHLEN")

- the main page has the same caption for the bad beat bonus and the refer a friend one ... you're not seriously telling your players that your bad beat bonus is a whopping 25 bucks, are you?
Plus, it should be "Einem Freund empfehlen" in stead of "Einen Freund empfehlen" (the former meaning "recommend to a friend", the latter "recommend a friend")
(just listing a few here that I found surfing your site for 5mins or so)

all in all the translation seems to be OK but doesn't sound quite right to a native speaker ... especially the testimonial gives me the creeps because it is very incoherent.

I sure do appreciate the localization, but right now I'll keep sending my German traffic to your English site because your German site will probably convert pretty badly - anybody reading this will doubt your integrity which obviously is the opposite of what you're trying to accomplish here.

sorry if this seems like a lot of criticism for one posting, but I really feel you could (and should) do much better.

Sorry guys but the german translation is horrible ! I am a german native speaker so I think I can tell. Get a native speaker to do translation work and re-phrasing, imho.

Yeah, we took the German page down for the meantime. I'm not sure who they got to do the German page, but there will be changes made to insure that it is translated correctly upon relaunch.

Thanks,
Mark
