Some quote first:

That was kinda a "lucky" emergency^^
Due my activities on hlxcommunity.com (doing the German support there) the lead admin of HLXce, psychonic, asked me about if i could do him a favor for his favoriete game & make quick translation for the upcomming 2.6 patch of FoF.
"The deadline ends at 22 some US pacific time." he said!
I willed in and imeadiately started to translate (~18:00 local time), after about 2h and 343 long lines of text i was done and submited it back to psychonic who gave it further to the FoF devs, after a view minutes i got reply from psychonic that this will be implented into the 2.6 final patch comming in a view days, wich i didn´t knew before when i started the work!

The translation might contain some logical mistakes, but due the fact i couldn´t see where the messages appear ingame & to do a "blind" translation i think is ok for now, i further applied to to future patches/changes on the german translation.
I also just downloaded FoF so that i see in future what´s going to be translated^^.
