Buying shares using German language

What all the terms mean in English

I have been looking at getting into the German stock market, but am a bit perplexed by the terms in use. Basically I'd like to know the Yield, P/E, P/S, EPS, DPS and a few other values of each company, but my broker tells me everything in German language equivalents.

Does anyone out there know what all these terms below mean?

KGVe
KCVe
DIVe

Any help is welcome, I know I can check yahoo or other sites to see it in English, but I would also like to know what are the German equivalents, and if there are other ratios that the Germans like to use that are not used elsewhere

KGV = P/E
KCV = similar to KGV meaning Kurs (aka Price) Cashflow Verhältnis
