Old Deuteronomy

Their standard support is the very last place where I would expect this to be adressed properly... I was under the impression that some LG folks are reading here. If there's no success here, I will forget about it.

Hi there, just got myself a 60LB870V. While I basically really like the new fresh look'n feel of the GUI, I see some really really terribly wrong localisations in the menu. I'm in germany. The worst example: In the picture submenu, where you select the picture format, the option for an overscan-free 1:1 picture was called "Just Scan" on previous LG sets. Also in the german GUI. Obviously no-one could think of a good translation, so it was simply left in english. Which was totally fine. But on the WebOS devices, someone with zero german language skills apparently took a dictionary and translated "Just Scan" into the german term "Jetzt suchen". This is totally ridiculous. Actually, "Just Scan" COULD indeed be translated into "Jetzt suchen", but this is a completely different meaning. Backtranslated to english, "Jetzt suchen" means "Search now". This is just one example, but the worst I have seen so far. Why some might think that this is just a cosmetical issue, the truth is that things like this are usually found in very very cheap, no-name products from China. In such a product, you don't expect anything better, but in an A-brand product like this top-range LG TV, this is simply embarassing. My question to the staff here would be whether or not you are open to change this in a future firmware release. I would think that you should have some folks in your german branch office who should speak german well enough, but of course I would also be willing to provide you with a list of corrections. It's really not that much. So far I have found 3 or 4 examples like the one above. If you would value my input, I would go on searching.
