i saw some German titles, like "König" (King) and some others all starting with "der" (male "the") ... all i have seen yet are male titles, but i am female. Cause i can not find a full list of all German titles ... are there Queens and "die" ...? what about Frensh and Spanish? If we have to choose male titles, it would be better to not translate them ... in English the titles are not gender related (Except king/queen).

I confirm for French
It's often "le" instead "la" + the ending which should change

# old bolt if you are a German boy, and think "der" (the German male "the") is not gender r...

you seem to have like a deeply flawed understanding of the structure of german language itself. no one is protesting against "das" or "der, die" for that matter as long as it is used in a grammatically correct way; "das Lehrer" being clearly wrong. If you say for example "an der Schule gegenüber sind 8 Lehrer tätig, darunter 4 Frauen" "Lehrer" is being used as a lexeme unrelated to the gender of those teachers thus being genderneutral; yet the the word itself is grammatically masculine. You being unable to accept that fact and yapping around is just weird, its a common convention and rule of the language itself. btw some genderneutral words also exist in other grammatical genders like "die Person" (feminine) or "das Kind" (neuter) an i'm not out here complaining that it should be changed to "der"

kinda curious if they translated the titles to hu with google but too lazy to get the game just for that

For example, here they translated "Show" as "Spectacle" which literally means Performance/Sight/Show instead of the verb to show

these small things can really drag down the quality of games, not that trove is not already at the bottom of the pit but oh well

meanwhile spanish: "Teacher of boxes Cr0nicl3D3str0y3r, Magnetic Dragon"

#

"wrinkly and fair" or "wrinkly and tight" (ew)

#

also in spanish they do not have it justified, almost all of them are the male way those that were "the" except for kabiri's which somehow is female

#

but being honest, this is something that is more tied to a limitation in this case, since they would need to make another title for the gender swap which in english wouldn't make sense

#

either that or the game asking you for your gender, which I would say some people could find uncomfortable that a kids game asks for your gender

omg, this discussion is so funny. Surest thing is that voxel games needs to learn that there are two genders. Especially minecraft and its impossible villagers.

#

IT'S like programmers these days were ashamed that everyone is not a genderless minecraft villager

what's wrong with players who wants to have titles that matches with the gender that nature gave them? It's not like it was a criminal offense yet.

  • this is an mmo so you could be giving that info to some people that you may not want them to know what you are
  • the integration would be limited to some translations which are not many times used because they are bad (at least in the case of spanish), so it would be extra implementation for something almost unable to be used since english is already gender neutral

Ok then only display the title for people that have languages that support the pronouns
