    "We spell mostly phonetically here; it helps if you read it out loud (or at least pronounce to yourself)."
    Sort of like writing "weard" for "weird" because it's logical to think it's spelled that way.

    Also, remember that it's more or less supposed to represent English spoken with an an [archaic] Low German accent, so think of all the really bad Hollywood "accents" you've seen. Why Jägers in Transylvania would be speaking English with a bad German accent I don't know, but...

    3. Translater in your link is dose not support jager to english :(
    Well drat. I'm sure I've seen one somewhere that does, but I took the first Google hit.
