should read '' je m'appel Groot''  not ''je s'appel Groot'' but  ''je suis Groot'' sound more accurate

    Actually this is how it was dubbed into French in the original movie. The "mistake" is there on purpose.

    Also, they don't care about other languages.

    German has been horrible since day one, and hasn't gotten any better, with broken skill descriptions, extremely weird Event names, etc.

    They just don't care enough to spend actual money on translations.

    as a translator, this really bothers me...  "Je suis Groot" is a much better translation.

    You're so right! My favorite translation is "Dumme Diebe" (Stupid thieves) for "Thick as Thieves".

    At least they got the alliteration on the "D"

    Actually "thick" in english can be used to mean stupid, so it's sort of a pun on the normal phrase "Thick as Thieves," which is used to mean "closely allied with". So it sounds like they at least translated a possible meaning, without preserving the pun, which might not have been possible. I'm a little rusty on german idioms related to thieves, I'll admit.

    Well, back in school days our they´ve told us that "to be thick as thieves" means "to be tight friends with someone". If I assume that they were right, german idioms like "Wie Pech und Schwefel" or "Dicke Freunde" would have been more suitable translations.

    Yeah I think the joke with ""Thick as Thieves" is that MPQ makes out the Maggia goos to be pretty dumb. So in english you could also read it as "Stupid as Thieves" in the same way as "Thick as a brick" ie dumb as a post.
