HOI4 Typos, etc.

Thread for reporting English typos for the Devs to see in one location. I will attempt to keep the original post up to date. My duplicate post under the General forum can be deleted. These were not fixed in 1.1 so I'm thinking this may not have been seen by the Devs in the General forum.


- "Constructions" tab should be "Construction" (no "s"). The word "Construction" is both singular and plural, so it is never used with an "s".

- Under the Armor tab in the Research screen, clicking on a heavy tank says "Heavytanks are large, armored monsters...". A space is missing between "Heavy" and "tanks".

- Under the Air tab in the Research screen, for Fighter I: "Light airframes been revolutionized..." The word "have" is missing between "airframes" and "been".

- Under the Air tab in the Research screen, for Naval Bomber I: "Naval aviation will be vital in the coming decade to confronting new developments..." The word "confronting" should be "confront".

- Under the Air tab in the Research screen, for the Strategic Bomber I: It looks like a space is missing between "fly" and "high".

- Under the Air tab in the Research screen, for the Strategic Bomber II: "Bombing has been shown to have a good effect upon the capacity of the enemy to wage war". This sentence makes no sense. My suggestion: "Bombing has proven effective at reducing the enemy's capacity to wage war."

- There is a typo in focus_l_english.yml line 754. "Colonial empires must never again be able to expand into South American" should be "Colonial empires must never again be able to expand into South America" (no n at the end). - by Med1980

- Under the Artillery tab in the Research screen, for Advanced Artillery: "teach" should be "reach". - by bengast

- Spain has a destroyer class incorrectly named in the game as Churucca class. The correct spelling would be "Churruca" (two R's, one C) class after Cosme Churruca, Spanish Admiral (actually Cosme Damián de Churruca y Elorza). - by Enric

- When hovering the cursor over Reliability in the Unit Details window: In the second sentence, "types" should be "type's" and the word "the" is missing between "reduces" and "chance".

- "Infantry eq." should be "Infantry Eq." to match Support Eq. and everything else.

- The "Support Battalions" tab should say "Support Companies" since they're called "companies" everywhere else in the game.

- A lot of items in Japan's National Focus tree are incorrectly in lowercase. For example, "Axis leanings" should be "Axis Leanings", "Air base Expansion" should be "Air Base Expansion", etc. The trees for the other nations appear to all be properly capitalized.

- The last sentence in the description for Synthetic Oil Focus for Germany cuts off. Megaspider01 suggests simply adding a period at the end, but to match the context I suggest changing it to "The safest solution would be to perfect our synthetic oil technology."

- In the plan preparation attack bonus tooltip: In the sentence "Once they start fighting with the plan or move away this bonus will be ticking down again." The word "be" should be "begin".

- Open the Division Designer and add something to an existing division. When hovering the cursor over new equipment in the Equipment Costs column, the tooltip says "in the storage" in two places. The word "the" should not be there and should just say "in storage".

- Under the Industry tab in the Research screen, Excavation I's description should start with "Advancements" rather than "Advancement".

- There is a bug (a typo) in common\units\equipment\battleships.txt: Under the Naval tab in the Research screen, Battleship I shows Surface Detection of "152" when it is actually 15. - by Sleight of Hand

- Under the Naval tab in the Research screen for Germany, Schleissen the Battleship I should be "Deutchland" because the Schlesien was a ship of the Deutchland class. - by Sleight of Hand

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutschland-class_battleship

- In the common\units\names\00_names.txt file: - by Sleight of Hand

• "Battle Cruiser" should be "Battlecruiser"
• "Mounaineer Division" (typo) should be "Mountain Division"
• "Paratrooper Division" should be "Airborne Division"
• "Cavalry Brigade" should be "Cavalry Division"
• "Engineer Division" should be "Engineer Company"
• "Recon Division" should be "Recon Company"
• "Medical Division" should be "Field Hospital"
• "Logistics Division" should be "Logistics Company"
• "Police Division" should be "Military Police Company"
• "Signal Division" should be "Signal Company"
• "Maintenance Division" should be "Maintenance Company"

This is a great list, thanks for these. I'd missed some of them. Great work @Trifler

I reported a few typos here: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...0-missing-localization-misc-text-bugs.955186/

An annoying one I found quite early on is the name of the first German battleship class:

GER_battleship_1:0 "Schleissen Class"
GER_battleship_1_desc:0 "Following the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was allowed to retain six pre-dreadnought battleships. Classified as Linienschiffe (Ships of the Line) by the Kriegsmarine, only two ships of the Deutschland Class, not to be confused with the later Deutschland-class Pocket Battleships, remained in active service through the 1930s. At 04:47 on September 1, 1939, Schleswig-Holstein fired the first shots of World War II as she opened fire on the Westerplatte base in Danzig, Poland."

I assume whoever wrote that was having a stab at spelling Schlesien, but either way it's wrong because it should be Deutschland class, which is even mentioned in the text!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutschland-class_battleship

EDIT: Looks like the Muoko typos were fixed in 1.1!

 

[Trifler]

Thanks Sleight. I crossed out the Muoko one.

- The word "be" should be "begin" in the plan preparation attack bonus tooltip.

 

[SchwarzKatze]

- Mao starts with some units called "shensi juntuan". There's no problem with "juntuan", but "shensi" doesn't seem to match anything. I thought it's just some acronym I don't know, but it appears that even the Chinese are confused, so I think it might be a mistake.

 

[Sleight of Hand]

Here are the specific capitalization fixes for Japan:

oust_germans_focus:0 "Sever Sino-German Ties"
axis_leanings_focus:0 "Axis Leanings"
army_primancy_focus:0 "Army Primacy"
navy_primancy_focus:0 "Navy Primacy"
army_innovations_focus:0 "Army Innovations"
army_air_innovations_focus:0 "Army Air Innovations"
armor_innovations_focus:0 "Armor Innovations"
naval_innovations_focus:0 "Naval Innovations"
naval_air_innovations_focus:0 "Naval Air Innovations"
naval_base_focus:0 "Naval Base Expansion"
air_base_expansion_focus:0 "Air Base Expansion"
army_motorization_focus:0 "Army Motorization"
convoy_protection_focus:0 "Convoy Protection"
shbb_focus:0 "Super-Heavy Battleship Focus"
battleship_focus:0 "Modern Battleship Focus"
advanced_torpedoes_focus:0 "Advanced Torpedoes"
industrial_effort_focus2:0 "Industrial Effort"
infra_effort_focus:0 "Infrastructure Effort"
carrier_focus:0 "Carrier Focus"
imperial_glory_focus:0 "Imperial Glory"

 

[Sleight of Hand]

And for Support Battalions being called Support Companies (which indeed makes sense):

category_support_battalions:0 "Support Companies"
support_folder:0 "Support Companies"
DESIGNER_SUPPORT_COLUMN_TITLE:0 "Support Companies. These are support troops keep behind the frontline troops and help out.\n\nYou can only select one of each type and Support Companies do not affect the §YMax Speed§! of the Division (other than through terrain bonuses), and do not increase its §YCombat Width§!."
group_infantry_title:0 "Infantry Battalions"
group_mobile_title:0 "Mobile Battalions"
group_armor_title:0 "Armored Battalions"
group_support_title:0 "Support Companies"
STAT_COMMON_RELIABILITY_FACTOR_DESC:1 "An extra reliability bonus from Support Companies. This bonus is applied to an equipment types reliability and reduces chance of breakdowns and accidents."

I think that's everything.
