[DE] Wrong Translation Of Shunt Handle EU07/EP07/EP08

[Jonne]

Hi there,

it appears that the translation of the english "Shunt Handle" into the German "Rangierfahrhebel" is incorrect.

While the term "shunt" in a railway context is indeed translatable into the German "rangieren", this is not what the purpose of the handle actually is.

This handle on the EU07/EP07/EP08 is for the electrical shunting of reverse current from the motors which cannot be described by "rangieren" in German.

A more appropriate term would be "Feldschwächungshebel", or simply "Feldschwächung".Unfortunately there is no direct translation of the verb "shunt" into German in an electrical contest.

Servus,

ich werde mir da eine bessere Beschreibung einfallen lassen.

Wie nennst Du es jetzt? Ich wuerdde es gern im Wiki auf den deutschen Seiten anpassen, damit es einheitlich ist.

"Shuntier Hebel" würde auch gehen
