We are currently doing most of the preparations for the beta 3 aka release candidate 1, it would not make any sense translating the second beta version into english folks... If you want to make an english fan-translation you are very well invited to do so, but I hope you are also understanding why we are currently not putting any effort in translating the game, there are lots and lots of other things to do :)
I guess the problem is not finding a person who understands both english and german(Most of the SotS dev team does), the more heavy problem we are facing is finding a person to actually translate all of the text into english, because as the dev team we are focusing on the german version and the actual design and coding of the game ;)
I know it might be kind of a nuisance to play this with a german text book laying next to you, I imagine this is pretty silly^^
Anyways, that's it for now, I know this is not the best news for you, but we don't even know when the german version acutally releases, it's just much work to do, in the end it should at least be something aswell :D
