Guys who are Mechanikerin?

Hey all, I'm working on updating the City Info Tracker site, and I noticed something kind of odd. I have to preface with the disclaimer that I'm not German; specifically, I do not speak German and know no German other than "Guten tag!" and "Ich bin ein Berliner."

Anyway, I'm updating the badges on the CIT site, and I notice that a lot of the German language badges have versions with -in on the end. (Bote/Botin, Seher/Seherin, Goldgräber/Goldgräberin, etc.) They seem to be gender-specific names of badges, much like the English-language Pumpkin King/Pumpkin Queen, Newsman/Newsgirl, etc.

So I'm going through the badges, and I run across this one in German: Clockwork-Mechanikerin. The weird thing is that both male and female versions of this badge are named that.

So I pull up Google's language translator and enter Mechanikerin to translate it from German to English, and as expected, it tells me "Mechanic." I do the reverse translation, to go from English to German, and it tells me "Mechaniker." I'm guessing that's the male form of the word.

So here's my question, keeping in mind that I don't speak German. Can someone with the European client verify that this is the name of the badge for both male and female characters? And if so, is that a game typo, with the badge supposed to be named Clockwork-Mechaniker for males and Clockwork-Mechanikerin for females?

Thanks for any help you can provide, guten tag and ich bin ein Berliner! (And yes, I know it doesn't really mean I am a jelly doughnut, at least not in the context in which it was said!)

I gues that is the gearsmasher badge, the only related clockwork badge as far i know.

Okay, just checked it out. Ran down there with a male toon and got the 'Clockwork-Mechanikerin' which is incorrect as you had guessed. I don't have a female toon in Pretoria to check if this is simply switched or not but that's one step to the solution at least.

I also went ahead and bugged it.

Edited to add: The correct badge name for a male toon would be 'Clockwork-Mechaniker'.
Also, if you need any help testing other German stuff with the client just give me a shout.

Awesome, thanks for checking this! I went ahead and put both versions (Mechaniker and Mechanikerin) in, so it will recognize either name. I figure it won't hurt having the extra name, and it's probably just a matter of time before they fix it.

Oh, I just remembered another German word I know, "Danke!" If your name happens to be Shane, then "Danke, Shane!" Hey devs, do I get any props for finding a text error in a language I don't even speak?
