Quality of German texts
The German versions of the games suffered from a number of serious errors in translation. Thus, in the second part of the phrase a piece of cake falsely literally a piece of cake instead of the intended A no brainer. From winding was windy curved instead, the ambiguous toadstool was translated with poisonous mushroom instead of Toad stool, from a jack was a boy instead of a jack and from Where's the other three ( Where are the other three ( letters )) was Where's the other tree. Even simple phrases such as You are welcome ( You're welcome ) have been completely mistranslated (you're welcome).
