Haiclue: German translation error

I played Haiclue a short time ago, but it was a little bit confusing, because the word "clue" was translated with "Tipp".
One could use this translation, but especially in the context of this game "Tipp" is misleading, because it also could mean the action of guessing.
A better translation here would be "Hinweis".
I can't change it, because the translation has already been validated.

In case no German translator picks it up: you should be able to change it after having played 10 games.

I would also prefer "Hinweis", as far as I understand this game unknown to me. I could change that, but then a couple of strings had to be changed. At the moment the translation is using "Tipp" at least in a coherent way. With the exception of one string where "Tipp" is used to translate "guess".

Is there a way to correct the German clues used in the game? I found two or three errors in them. When I go to the translation page, I only see the texts from the tutorial, but not the clues.

The word lists are not available for translations. The reason is, that you select the language at game start for all players. It does not make sense that different players see the words in different languages, because words could have so many different meanings in different languages.
So, the word lists is part of the game. Only the developer of the online adaption could fix it. So, the best way would be to create a bug report at
https://boardgamearena.com/bugs?game=1278
By the way, there are some open bug report regarding German words:
https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=157632 -
https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=33490
But it seems as if there was no update for the last two years. So, maybe better try to contact the developer
https://boardgamearena.com/player?id=85555630 directly.
