Especially (but not sure if limited to that) since Precursor Planets DLC I encounter in the German game version a lot of badly translated text (like an automatic translation tool would do it) ...
I would volunteer to give you better translations, but I don't want to spoil for myself all the new features of the DLC by sifting through the XML files ...
