Thats good to know :)
And if Carsten is as uptaken of making a good Fallout 3 as he says (and I believe he is), he would probably have a US part of his team (ex. BIS people for instance) do the dialogue. He understands his limitations language wise, and have admitted as much.
I didn't said otherwise. In fact i'm sure he learned with the Gorasul translation ("Attack! The enemies are slamming from the rear!", which is right up there with "The trucks have started to move", and reeks of badly translated hentai). I was only pointing out that Killizig was talking of translation quality, not saying that the game would be bad because it was being developed by an European team.

Okay, guess I should have read more thorough then :). But my point was meant more general anyway. Quite a few non US development teams either have a good grasp on English, or understand their limits. So I think that bad translations are usually the publishers fault, as they normally translate (to my knowledge).
