As long as us Germans get to keep using our "Schw. Tr. d. Le.-En. W."
(The German translation for "weak potion of restore health" was too long for the UI, so they just put this absolute butchering in instead)
What would the full German name be?
"Schwacher Trank der Lebensenergie-Wiederherstellung."
Oblivion auto generated potion names based on their effects and the template they used lead to this super long names in german. A proper translation would have been "Schwacher Heiltrank" or "Schwacher Lebensregenerstionstrank"
