Here it must be read: "[...] im Leben [...]".



"Wald der Scharfen Zähne" must be translated correctly as "Scharfzahnwald".

The correct plural form is with "e" and not "s". Hence it must read: "[...] Grottenschrate [...]".



No one says "einen rechten Ruf haben" in German; it also sounds like a scene ascription to right-wing radicalism. Better translations here are "[...] einen rechtschaffenen Ruf." or alternatively "[...] einen angesehenen Ruf.". Furthermore, it should read: "[...] Gerüchte [...]" (rumors) and not "Gerüche" (odors).



Here are transposed words. It must read: "Haltet lieber die Kinder im Zaum."



Here it must read: "Diese Flüchtlinge [...]".



The Owlbear Mother is clearly female. Therefore, it should be adapted accordingly with respectively: "Eulenbärin", "[...] der Eulenbärin [...]" and "Die Eulenbärin [...]".



"Kränkelig" sounds like a neologism. The more appropriate version is called "Kränklich". By the way, in BG 1 +2 the status effect "Diseased" was translated as "Krank" and should be kept for consistency.
