If you find any translation mistakes in English you're welcome to post it here with the right version of the translation preferably with a screenshot so administration can find a place with mistake easily.
 
We mostly looking for grammatical mistakes and replacement of google translator work.
 
The most active people who find a lot of mistakes might receive small reward with game points (1-3) depending of effort
 
Let's make Virtonomics better! Very we!

I don't know how to insert screen shots here but I will try to describe the mistakes.
 
1)
Location: My company -> Top Manager -> Office (item - plant)
 
Mistake: Plant description reads "flora specimen yet unknown to the science [cost 15]"
 
Correction: "flora specimen currently unknown to science [cost 15]"
 
2)
As the English server has a UK flag I assume it should use UK English rather than US English
 
Location: My company -> Reports -> Financial report (Under table named  Expense structure)
 
Mistake: Item reads "Building and modernization"
 
Correction: "Building and modernisation"
 
3)
Location: Incinerator -> Financial report (Under table named  Prime cost structure)
 
Mistake: Item reads "Equipment amortization"
 
Correction: "Equipment amortisation"
 
4)
Location: My company -> Reports -> Financial report (Under table named  Expense structure)
 
Mistake: Item reads "Contributions to budgets"
 
Correction: "Contribution to budgets"
 
5)
This one is not simple to understand.
 
Location: My company -> Management -> Equipment (Title above Buy, Repair Write off buttons)
 
Mistake: Item reads "Operations with equipment of selected manufacturers"
 
Correction: "Equipment management and maintenance" or "Equipment management for subdivisions"
 
6)
Location: My company -> Management -> Technologies (2nd Line)
 
Mistake: Item reads "Your company has already placed offers for the amount of $2 000.00"
 
Correction: "Your company has already made offers in the amount of $2 000.00"
 
7)
Location: My company -> Management -> Black list (description paragraph)
 
Mistake: Item reads "The companies listed in the black list cannot buy your products. The concluded contracts will be cancelled during the upgrade. Blacklisting a company is possible by use of "Community/Company search" menu, or directly selecting at buyers list at "Sale" tab of any subdivision."
 
Correction: "Companies on your blacklist cannot buy your products. Any contracts made by these companies will be cancelled during the upgrade. To blacklist a company go to "Community/Company search" menu, or select it from the buyers list on "Sale" tab of any subdivision."
 
8)
Location: My company -> Management -> Black list (tab title)
 
Mistake: Item reads "Black list"
 
Correction: "Blacklist"
 
9)
Location: Politics -> Heads of States (tab title)
 
Mistake: Item reads "Heads of States"
 
Correction: "Heads of State"
 
10)
Not too sure with this one but it's not right in the current form.
 
Location: Politics -> Governors -> Governor's councils (tab title)
 
Mistake: Item reads "Governor's councils"
 
Correction: "Governors councils" or "Governors' councils"
 
11)
Location: Politics -> Mayors -> Influential persons (tab title)
 
Mistake: Item reads "Influential persons"
 
Correction: "Influential people"

You no longer need corrections for texts in Spanish and French?
 
PS: I already translated 5 texts for you, but now I see you've edited your original entry.

Sorry for that. i asked Diska and he said that French and Spanish are not in first priority. Although if you already translated something, please post it here anyway. if it is good work they might give you a reward for the effort. It is my fault bc i thought that French and Spanish interface need work as well without consulting with administration

The following mines/factories have incorrect work places naming (mix of shafts, work places and Russian):
Copper mine
Chrome mine
Manganese mine
Textile factory
Factory for production of carpets
 
("Carpet factory" would make more sense as well, it's a bit of an odd naming method compared to the others)

all Ekostandart???  does this mean all environmental standarts?
 
The Law on a National Enviromental Service
 
All the mayors in all cities receive 25% discount on ecological municipal projects (garbage, sewage, power monitoring); all governors across the country receive 25% discount on ecological regional projects (all Ekostandart, environmental police and monitoring of power plants), and spend 15% less of the budget for the environment.

Employees have been trained. The full list of units which completed training is given at the end of the letter.
 
- corr for all the letters... (btw. a letter is usually something with an envelope unless its called news letter which is a new term expression. Alternatives: This is a posting, after I sent you a message via e-mail. You wouldnt say system letter, which would be A, B, C, D.....)
 
Corr: Employees have been trained. Following units have finished their training:
 

 
Actually as far as I know the word "given" is not used in english for this expression of you giving information.
 
"Life is a given thing, still don't take it for granted" would be the correct use.
 
If you make someone a present you would not say he has been gifted.
 
you can find, it is displayed or shown or required, as listed ... depending on the case...
 
so "crtl-f" a lot to replace ;)

Just for anyone reading "given" is actually correct in this situation. It refers to information being "specified" at some point in the letter. The many quirks of the English language. Very we!

When setting the number of employees to zero, a note reads: "If you fire all your staff, who will do all this job?"
 
It should be "If you fire all your staff, who will do all this work?"

the production facilities for sombreros and ponchos are called "apparel manufactoring". Not that I'm a fan of this term, but at the very least, it should be "apparel manufacturing".
 
Imo, it would be better to name these: Traditional clothing factory. Or Folk clothing factory. Products could be made more generic:
sombrero -> traditional hats
poncho -> traditional coats
But this takes us away from the english correction topic.
