I have seen this question on another forum:
I'm currently working on a little project of mine, which I don't want to elaborate on right now. To my question:
Classes in Diablo are relatively easy to translate into German:
Warrior => Krieger.
Sorcerer => Zauberer (just seems more appropriate than Hexer).
But what about the...
Rogue => ???
It seems that, if translated literally, rogue means something along the lines of:
Schurke, Schalk, Schlingel; or, in another meaning: Landstreicher, Strauchdieb.
Now we know that in the Diablo™ story, rogues are archers from the order 'sisters of the sightless eye' (compare Diablo, Diablo II). How is that to be incorporated into the translation?
My best guess until I concerned myself with the word was: Bogenschützin, simply because that's what she does best (normally).
What I'm leaning towards at the moment is: Jägerin. That would come close to the translation I've heard in Diablo II, but yet we are speaking of Diablo classic.
Do you know the answer?
