German title suggestion for the Release version

[caipi]

I read in the Beyond Beta article that female Kerbals will be added in the RC. So I came up with a nice title for this version:

Kerbale und Liebe (literal translation: Kerbals & Love)

Unfortunately it only works in German. It is a reference to a well-known German play by Friedrich Schiller (famous German writer) called Kabale und Liebe, which literal translates to Cabals and Love, but its English title is actually Intrigue and Love

[Ikaneko]

It's a nice idea, but sadly would be lost on most of the population.

[BrainiacBlue]

Wait! There is a German word for Kerbal?

[Baenki]

Wait! There is a German word for Kerbal?

No there isn't. He is just playing with the words Kerbal and german word "Kabale", which sounds similar.

Kerbal, Kabal(e) -> Kerbale

[Bill Phil]

Heh...

I think that it should just be "Kerbal Space Program".

[Frank_G]

And sorry, but believe me... it doesnt work well in german.

Kerbale und Liebe (literal translation: Kerbals & Love)

Naaaja, du hast das sicher als gute Idee empfunden, als du darauf gekommen bist, aber so toll ist dein Vorschlag leider nicht. Abgesehen von einigen gelangweilten Schülern erinnert sich fast niemand an die Geschichte.

You'd thought it's a good idea when you came up with it but your proposal isn't that good. Besides some bored pupils almost nobody remembers that story.

I would call 1.0 just "Lift Off". Everybody gets the reference easily and in my opinion the words fit nicely.

Heh...

I think that it should just be "Kerbal Space Program".

So far, all versions (or at least most) have a title, like "Beta than ever" "First Contract" and all those more or less witty phrases. The game itself is still called Kerbal Space Program. Consider it a sub title for the version number.

It was just a suggestion and I know, it only works in German. So it's not really applicable, thus it will not happen. But it might still rise to an inofficial version title, as an insider

@aqua&Ikaneko: I think you are underestimating the community. A lot of students (University, not school, though the last one might be true as well) are playing the game and I think a lot of people do get it.

And a student like me think "Kerbale und Liebe" isn't a catchy phrase. I'm sorry for being so direct: It's boring and wannabe-funny (is that even a word?).

[RocketBlam]

In German, Kerbal Space Program is "Kerbal Raumfahrtprogramm."

*snicker*

[dryer_lint]

I agree that 1.0 should just be "Kerbal Space Program". This is a big release and we've already gone through a thread of name/trailer suggestions... most agreed that simplicity was the best choice.

I'm also jumping on the "Kerbal Space Program" title train. Serious business requires serious names!

[Gerry]

In German, Kerbal Space Program is "Kerbal Raumfahrtprogramm."

*snicker*

Correctly translated to German, i think, its like "Kerbalisches Raumfahrtprogramm"

And sorry, but the suggested title "Kerbale und Liebe" even dont work in German... ...

[Axelord FTW]

Honestly, if there was anything I'd add to the German KSP version, it would be something to honor Wernher von Braun's work. Even if a lot of people want to forget what he did during the war years.
