It's the same with the german HUD: It's crap. Especially the German voice over... Brrr... awful. Especially since it's so half-assed and at parts just plain stupid. The class names are still in English, still people are calling for a "Sanitäter" (german term for 'Medic'), when they're hurt.
how can you know that ? It's not because it's crap in German that it's also bad in Dutch. I'm quite happy that a big game like TF2 has a Dutch hud.
Idd, the same counts for the word "butterfly". It sounds sweet in English, French ánd Dutch (buttefly, pappillon, vlinder), but in Germand it sounds terrible and even scary: schmetterling. It could be a name for a weapon of mass destruction.
