Tis I! Here on a mission of translation.
I'd like to convert
Doppelsöldner
to
"ELEVEN"söldner
Or whatever would be the logical equivalent. If this makes sense to you, then please help :thepirate |

Maybe you can post the whole sentence?
I think it would be easier for us to help you then. |

There is NO sentence.
I am under the impression that Doppelsöldner refers to a soldier who received double pay (also had a special sword). So what I would like is using the same format the name of a soldier who receives "11 times pay".
Eventually I might construct a 3 word sentence that would read:
The 11timespaysoldier doppelgänger
or
The 11timespaysoldier 11gänger
Something like that |

Alright thanks for everyone's help.
I guess the problem is that languages have double, triple, quadruple and after that things don't sound natural |

doch, natürlich, aber nicht in einer speziellen form wie "doppelt" (anstatt zweifach) ;)
im englischen gibt's ja auch "three times" aber man sagt "triple" - und die wahl hat man im deutschen meines wissens nach nicht ;) |
