Over the time I have noticed a few language differences between german and english.
Expect the obvious translations were there is only one meaning, Dreadnought has been translated as a Cybot, Imperial Guard to Imperiale Armee = Army and Meltagun as MeltERwaffe
I will post any other differences that I can find.
Feel free to post differences that you found in your native Language

It would be hard to translate some 40k names to my language.Example Meltagun.

Are you Ukrainian? I love em in Cossacks XD XD

Why not post:

Vanguard =
Sternguard =
Thunderhammer =

And yes, its possible to mix 2 languages when posting in your head.
Seems they try here to understand everyone as best as possible. Until it comes to retranslating
from european languages back to english. In this case, most of them use software-translators and fail....
Not sure why its hard to ask some natives...

Hatten die Panzer von der Imperialen Armee früher ihre englischen Namen?

Die zahl der Panzer-varianten im aktuellen codex ist erheblich höher als jemals zuvor.
Eine Änderung von englisch zu deutsch könnte der belagerer => vorher demolisher sein.
Ansonsten sind alle verwendeten namen in beiden lokalisierungen verwendet worden.
Die "eindeutschung" ist allerdings teil des aktuellen codex und betrifft sicher mehr als die imperiale armee.
Grundsätzlich sind aber alle namen die von kreaturen aus der sagenwelt stammen 1:1 benutzt worden.

Vanguard=Izvidnica
Sternguard=Nepopustljiv Čuvar(Nepopustljiv=Stern Čuvar=Guard)
Thunderhammer=Grom Čekić(Grom=Thunder Čekić=Hammer)
I'm not sure that this is the right translation.

I would totally start translating into Korean, but I doubt a lot of 40k words translate very well, into asian languages.

Oh believe me I'm Romanian and I don't even try to translate, i take things as they are...but for example

Meltagun = ArmăTopitoare
Heavy Bolter Mitralieră Grea
Land Raider Colindător al pământului
Space Marines Soldaţi spaţiali
Sisters of Battle Surori ale Bătăliei
Dark Angels Îngerii întunecaţi
Blood Ravens Corbii Sângelui

Believe me, sounds hilarious
