Original sentence: Following the German Kaiser's (again partially translated, German Emperor fully translated) abdication of the German Empire after World War I, the word "Empire" was dropped and the official name used in English was the "German Reich".Its direct literal translation in English is "German Empire", however this full translation is only used when describing Germany under Hohenzollern rule (until 1918)
