Jeah, but "Letalität" sounds better...much better. 
Sarcasm, or did you misread my post?
I complained that it still was Tödlichkeit instead of Letalität, which is the better term.
*facepalm* sorry, i don't know what i was thinking.
Jeah, well i hope they use the correct term in the game.

You're welcome!
I did it more casual for ingame stuff but kept it formal for official crap like privacy policy, credits and all that. I noticed all the others did the same.
I wonder, will you make a new languages available once a language is done? When that happens, will we still be able to correct some things? I am sure a lot of hick ups will appear, cause in some cases it was a guessing game in what context a term was used and since German is a hell of a crazy language, there might be some things that need to be fixed/adjusted.
Something I gladly volunteer for again of course...
Once we are happy with the amount of voting that has taken place, we will go through a proofreading process. Following that, we will add it to the game. There will be opportunity to make changes after this, however it isn't ideal.
If you ever have doubts about context, please raise it as an issue in the comments section. It will raise it to my attention and I can go and seek out from the tech guys exactly where the string will pop up in the game.

"Mortalitätsrate" is currently ranking at the top! I presume this isn't correct?
Please vote as appropriate!

It sounds so...over the top. It's like the 18th century version of "Letalität"
Edit: Letalität is an adjective (which is correct because lethality is >>describing<< how "deadly" something is)
Mortalitätsrate is actually completely wrong because it could be used to describe how many of those who are infected die (in absolute numbers!)
Wow, this is so hard to explain. ._.
Anyway i hope my fellow germans will vote correctly.

Apparently, they won't.
I guess not every translator is following this thread, since some still prefer
Tödlichkeit over
Letalität, which I refuse to understand.
I wish to address this topic more and solve it once and for all since I feel in this case, it is not up to preference, but really flat out wrong to prefer
Tödlichkeit.
Lethality = Letalität
Deadliness = Tödlichkeit
Now, I don't see any single reason
not to prefer
Letalität over
Tödlichkeit.
1. It is the direct translation, thus preferable.
2. It is - as the original - medical terminology, thus preferable.
"Dumbing it down" from
Letalität to
Tödlichkeit would be like calling an
airplane a
flying-thing in a flight sim... well yeah ok, not exactly, but you catch my drift I hope.

Additionally, other texts in the game have already been adapted to Letalität,
kudos to LiquidBacon, so we would have to change them back again as well, duh.

Russian is already done - just needs to be checked/corrected.
Your comrades can rejoice!
