English to German translations - keeping the English in sync

Hi Skybike! Awesome work with the German translations! I've noticed that for a lot of your translations, that you've improved the German text to a higher level than the English text, sometimes with more detail. When doing this, could you also bring the English article to the same standard? As the English article is considered the standard, there is a high probability that someone might remove your improvements in the future to synchronise with the English article. Cheers!

Hi Bugman! Thank you for the hint. Next time I'll try to add every improvement to the English article too. But in most of the cases the German translations will be a bit longer than the English pages, because some English words have too complex meanings for one german word and some sentences would get another wrong meaning after translating. Appart from that the main language of FG is English, including parts of the software, wiki, youtube-tutorials,... so I want to give the reader the English word too (what's AoA->"Anstellwinkel" and why ATC) and some English self explanatory functions have to be explained in German... But all others I will "translate back" to English next time.

Aren't you the creator of the great new infobox aircraft? While translating my de:ATC-Instanz project I have seen an old Infobox Aircraft in the article. I thought about your infobox (it looks better, is translated and automatically synchronised on every translation), but there is no Craft type (category) link for ATC given. What do you think about adding ATC to craft type? As far as i've understood it you can download and start ATC as an airplane- but can not fly it. So is ATC something like an airplane?

If you are interested in it: There are currently two ATC-"airplane" articles in the wiki: ATC-FS and ATC-aircraft with its translation de:ATC-Instanz. A possible category to link to would be Category:Air Traffic Control (by the way, they are directly linked to Category:Aircraft too). The shown link text could be |en=Air traffic control |de=Flugverkehrskontrolle Thank you :)
