If you want to try to figure out what most of the German language adaptation channels refer to in your own language, you can use Google Translate to translate most the german terms into another language and make an offline searchable database of adaptations in that language. I did this to translate into English Module 9, Central Electrics, by creating a back file and using the ODBeleven share feature. I imagine it would be similar with VCDS and exporting an admap. To do this:
To return the admap back to its original state, sort column C "Low to High", which will resort the admap table back to its original state.
Since I don't know German, I've found some interesting adaptations this way just reading down the translated list.
Here's a view-only version of my module 9 admap exported from OBDeleven. I've added a fourth column, "Of interest". I add a "1" for every adaptation that looks like it might be worth researching more or fiddling around with. I also add a "1" for the value row of the adaptation that I am interested in. I can then sort the "Of interest" column so all of the adaptations I want to research move to the top. You'll see what I mean if you take a look:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vPlAiXxa7ek73Gupvc5Dt5vhpLXuzZpjHcSYQ-cSmdI/edit?usp=sharing
Not all adaptations get translated correctly, because some words aren't proper German words to begin with, or might be abbreviations or contractions. And obviously, acronyms also aren't translated (like "DWA" which refers to the anti-theft settings).
And of course, the better solution is to be fluent in your own native language and German, which unfortunately is not my case!
