Title: German and French speakers needed.
Post by: Big Guy on October 12, 2007, 06:45:40 AM

I have recently gotten into Aeronef and am running my first game tomorrow, I have however run into a sall snag, I have named three of my British ships HMS Faith, HMS Hope and HMS Charity.  For lack of inspiration I have decided to name three ships in the German and French flotillas the same.  The drawback being I did French in High School many years ago and my German I picked up from war comics.
Can some one please tell me what the French and German for Faith, Hope and Charity is?

Faith = Glauben or Vertrauen
Hope = Hoffnung
Charity = Barmherzigkeit

I strongly recommend this online-dictionary:

i use it in private and at work

Sorry.... Those shipnames dont work for German Airships.

Especially not Barmherzigkeit !

I know Aeroneff a little and think names like.
Sturmkönig / Sturmadler / Windgöttin / Himmelreich
( Stormking /  Stormeagle / Windgoddess / Kingdom of Heaven )

and for quick ships Taube ( Dove ) Sperber ( sparrow hawk )
Schwalbe ( swallow )

Maybe this helps a little.
Cheers

French:

La Foi - Faith
L'Espoir - Hope
La Charité - Charity
