I started to translate the new nominate for the official campaigns, until I realized,
this is the first time (as far as I know) somebody interpreted the date formats in the lore.

I always hesitated to translate something like this Date: 20/06/32 (acc_info1_english.txt),
because I worked with enough date formats in my life to know there will be a minimum of one problem for sure:
I have no Idea in which millennium I am (letting alone interpretation of the used delimiter).

So? Where are we? Timewise.

Accident 32 takes place in 2032. It looks like most campaigns are either in the 2250s or the 2050s

Wait...
so the marines must have some way to replicate for 200 years but still run around with the same tech?

I think it's just intentionally left ambiguous in most cases.
