Bug Description

If you use the "s" key to show the statistics on each building, for normal ships the string shows always "Shipping", even the ship does nothing and sails are stroked.

It would be nice have an additional string as for expeditions:

Idle: "Waiting"

Without looking into code, I guess shipping here means "ware transport mode" and there are no "submodes"....

Ok, that makes sense, but in "expedition mode" there is also a state called "Waiting".

At Least "Shipping" is translated into german as "Liefert Waren" (i guess translating back to english: "deliver wares"), which is quite annoying when the ships just do nothing else then waiting...

There is a longish discussion on Transifex on how to label this, so it is a bit tricky.

Technically, the ship is in "Transport" mode, there's just nothing for it to transport at the moment, or it might be loading wares... it would mean extra code to change this that is not trivial, so I don't think it's worth the potential bugs a change can introduce.

The best solution IMO is to try to find a better translation.

This isn't meant to be solved in near future :-)

I am fine with finding a better translation, but in the end my suggestion would also make the translation easier.

I mark this as a whishlist. Feel free to change it.

This was easier to implement than I thought, so I went ahead, because we can use it in the ship statistics.
