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

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.

"Shuntier Hebel" würde auch gehen
