I guess I've just seen so many horrible German translations that Sims 4 seems good in comparison. I just don't know what it is with our language, that makes it seem impossible to translate :D
But I do agree nonetheless that "Eine Portion nehmen" and "Ein Gericht nehmen" aren't a good choice of words.

I have the suspicion that the translators of Sims 4 only get shown a plain textfile with all the text strings to translate, but never ever get shown any explanation regarding to what the individual text strings actually do in game. Especially, since I have read about other complaints for the french and russian versions, about exactly the same 2 passages I am complaining about (with similar wording in russian and french)
I actually have a tiny bit of experience about that. I've done the German translation of DramaticGamer's mod "Romantic Stargaze", and there were several passages where I had to ask for the context. Without that it's really difficult to properly translate something. At least he didn't use any puns (or I didn't get them :D ), those just can't be translated.
