[shell vine]

Then that would be @honest sun

[honest sun]

@glossy maple 96% isn't so bad

[glossy maple]

You're doing a nice job. But situations, where you see untranslated text, are very catchy. And if I can do something to help, why not?

(that Zibrow mustache joke, yours work ?)

[honest sun]

Add me to friend, i'll add you drgUa line)

[honest sun]

Nope, it's was before me)

[glossy maple]

ok)

[wheat wraith]

Anyone knows what this "Amazone" hat is? Was it added in S2?

[shell vine]

I don't think so

[surreal mural]

how can i link with other translators? I already created an account on crowdin and translated a couple of texts already, but I'm new to the experience

[shell vine]

Check the pinned messages, there is a list of regular translators for most languages there

[surreal mural]

thanks!

do i just DM them?

[shell vine]

What language ?

[surreal mural]

Italian

I know who i need to contact

[shell vine]

Better to mention them here then

[surreal mural]

alright, thanks!

@glossy relic

[wheat wraith]

What's up with the guy who's supposed to give us translator roles, anyways?

[shell vine]

The devs or the mods ?

They are the only ones with perms for that

[wheat wraith]

I think there was somebody who was asked for that several times

[shell vine]

What language are you working on again ?

[wheat wraith]

El polacco

(pl)

[dry cradle]

el pol(lo)acco

[lost kite]

If anyone's working on the french version of the patch note, i'm on it too (taking a break for now tho) 👍

[slim verge]

good luck

[lost kite]

🥲 thx

[frank socket]

So, not sure if anybody else posted about this issue, but it seems that in: Polish, Romanian, Czech, Slovenian, Turkish and Croatian this line shows only partially (After the 4 in this case it should say ,,Jaja obcych")
Interestingly enough in language in which this line isn't translated at all it also doesn't appear, so it probably is an issue with the font?
Well, I don't know if it's somehow possible to fix, but just giving a heads up if it wasn't mentioned earlier (Didn't find any mentions of that problem)

[small kernel]

I'll try to fix turkish language, and I will look for other languages problem too. Probably there's problem for the variables formatting

[half brook]

Translation strings be like: Balding Fro

[half brook]

Seriously why are there six of them

Anyway, I finished translating most string for French

[small kernel]

This not being using in game, you can leave as to be

[half brook]

Well too late 'cause I translated it
As well as all the TEMP stuff
And the Easter stuff that is not used anymore

Do I have time to waste? Yes. Should I go to bed instead? Also yes. Is there anything I am too lazy to translate? Yes, the patch notes.

Oh by the way, if you are looking for more French proofreaders... Hi.

[shell vine]

Not at the moment, but thanks for the offer

[honest sun]

better to ask of something is like that https://crowdin.com/translate/deep-rock-galactic/77/en-xx#212672
This way any of languages could be checked quickly

[shadow lodge]

So steam update is out, xbox not yet. If my understanding is correct, xbox update has been alredy send to xbox and its waiting for approval. The question is, if i make changes in translation today, will it be updated now or do i have to wait for next update?

[shell vine]

For steam, next update (normally), for consoles, no idea

[wheat wraith]

that mission title lol

[sage tangle]

so, how do you like it? 😉

[sly jungle]

Quite good so far, very easy to use

Got a little issue about "Glyphid" though

Singular would stay Glyphid in german but multiples would be called "Glyphiden"

Should I just add both or only the translation for a singular specimen?

[sage tangle]

Wir haben uns auf den Standard geeinigt, irgendwie muss man den plural ja eindeutschen 🙂

Gegnernamen brauchen keine Änderung

[sly jungle]

Tja...

Jetzt habe ich dem Großteil schon übersetzt

Naja, egal

Habe da eine Frage bezüglich des Glyphid Warden, wie genau bufft er denn andere Glyphiden?
Pheromone?
Abhängig davon könnte man das in die Übersetzung einbringen

Allerdings sagtest du bereits dass sie ihren englischen Namen behalten sollen, also ist das wohl nicht wichtig 🤔

[sage tangle]

Do you plan to keep translating in the future? 🙂

[sly jungle]

Well, I actually haven't really planned anything for the future 😅
But translating is definitely something I'd like to do

Or at the very least something I consider myself capable to do

[sage tangle]

@solid bough dear Jacob, could you please bestow the role of de-translator to @sly jungle ? 🙂

Thank you ❤️

[sly jungle]

Oh, thank you :D

[somber gulch]

Hey, I`ve been translanting from Portuguese since 2020, can i get a community translator role?

[dry cradle]

Devs give community roles as they see fit, and it depends on performance, not on years on the field

So, asking might or might not work. Just be aware of that

[boreal quest]

I think it's deserved.

[dry cradle]

Then it's a matter of talking to the ones up.

[somber gulch]

Who do i talk to? Jacob?

[dry cradle]

Don't worry, we'll take care of it. You don't need to do anything

[wheat wraith]

ah yes, the de-translator

[wheat wraith]

Also I don't get it - is it that you get the role of community translator once you've done a lot, and you get the [language name]-translator if you're just doing something?

[dry cradle]

You get the latter if you want to commit to translating that language manifest said will

[wheat wraith]

Wdym?

[wicked scroll]

Question: What do you guys think the arm brace is for the crossbow? A simple arm protection, or like some kind of exo skeleton that helps you aim better?

[shell vine]

Second

[mellow topaz]

Could be this

It's legally distinct from a stock because of legal mumbo-jumbo

Alternatively, it could be something like this slingshot I once had (that unfortunately broke really quick after I got it)

[boreal quest]

I'm convinced that they mixed it up with a hunting slingshot, since crossbows are either two-handed or not needing any reinforced stock due to how small the kinetic energy that affect the arm.

Or just went "they are dwarves, they don't have to explain shit"

[frank socket]

The hands are just shaking so the brace is to make them more stable, easier to put bolt in, thus faster reload, it's one way to make sense of it at least, or as Stiny said, it just works

[sage tangle]

de-translator is a role for people who actively transmit translations to their language, so those can talk in their native tongue (fr-translators, de, and so on).
Community translator is a more saveguarded role for people who do / did a lot on the language, are active a lot, trusted and need more info on stuff.

[wheat wraith]

👍

[vital marsh]

De-translator is a role for people who take already translated strings and undo the translation (detranslate them).

[faint glacier]

How does one collaborate in translation work?

I happen to be a part time translator and I'd like to help, if possible

[mellow topaz]

You need a Crowdin account to translate.

[sharp dagger]

As mentioned above you can just create an account on Crowdin and start translating your preferred language right away.

If there are open questions you can alway ask in this channel and/or connect with fellow translators around here.

[slim verge]

You'll find the crowdin link at the end of the translators list, in the pinned messages

[obsidian nova]

Umm
Can someone explain what Radial Damage is or how does it work
Thanks❔

[small kernel]

@obsidian nova Something like radius or area of effect damage I guess

[mellow topaz]

why is the unlockable hockey mask called a ski mask in-game?

[boreal quest]

I can feel your inner rage across the continent.
No idea, most have been an oversight.

[mellow topaz]

another couple of strings that should probably be changed

all the wave cooker overclocks talk about magazine capacity instead of ammo capacity

[boreal quest]

I mean, the wave cooker is classified as an SMG, so that might be the core of the issue.

[sage tangle]

Maybe in space it's a ski mask? To keep your face save from the space-snow-flakes in the form of pucks?

[boreal quest]

The entire nation of Finland will descend on you if you insult their national sport.

[sage tangle]

Snow in space.
https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/hockey-puck-explosion-picture-id173002281?s=612x612

Snow mask. Q E D.

[mellow topaz]

flawless logic

[twin falcon]

Not only Finland. But any hockey fan in general. And you really don't want to anger a bunch of hockey brutes, do you?

[fluid thistle]

What it means?
quote is quotation marks?
Generic Biome "4"?

source string is "Generic Biome Quote 4"

[shell vine]

This is unused text, you can skip it

[fluid thistle]

thanks

another one, i have text "You leaf-fondling son of a mud golem!"
Can i translate "leaf-fondling" like a joke on somebody, who like be a sober?

[shell vine]

You can translate it as you want to, the goal is to make it sound nice in your language, while keeping it "insulting"

[fluid thistle]

hehe, fine

"balding fro"
is fro it's "Afro" haircut style?

[slim verge]

it's not in use either from what I can tell so you can skip it

[fluid thistle]

is there way how i can know, if this not in use?
only way i know it's watch context on "unused" marks

[short abyss]

So I'm just wondering if this is an issue on my side or not regarding translation

i have a . specifically on enor pearl

[boreal quest]

Regional number standards, huh.

[short abyss]

translator mode sadly doesnt help

[boreal quest]

I don't know where did that period got to your game, but on mine it's all in one, no separator.

[short abyss]

yea

[boreal quest]

BUT

[short abyss]

and its only on enor pearl

[boreal quest]

Talk about consistency

And I gave it a curious try.

[vital marsh]

I…hmm.

[boreal quest]

So, regional number separation is not a thing.

It's all over the place.

[vital marsh]

Isn't there a command or something that automatically does that for you based on the regional system settings?

For the game code, obviously, not translators

[slim verge]

might wanna make a jira ticket about that

[crystal vessel]

Hello everyone 🙂 I'm new here, and ready to help for English to French translations

[buoyant dagger]

Get em @wicked scroll

[wicked scroll]

I'm the one who asked them to come over 😄

[crystal vessel]

I love DRG (my favorite coop game since L4D2), and I still play it frequently, even after 4 years

[buoyant dagger]

I said get em

[wicked scroll]

Can you give Gh0st the fr_translator role Tater

[buoyant dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-peter-griffin-family-guy-peter-perhaps-peter-perhaps-gif-24813812

[crystal vessel]

😅

[wicked scroll]

I give you tree fiddy

[buoyant dagger]

A fine trade

[wicked scroll]

Thanks stinky onion

[buoyant dagger]

I shall spend it on soft baguettes

Happy translating!

[crystal vessel]

Thank you @buoyant dagger @wicked scroll

[wheat wraith]

Oh btw @buoyant dagger can you give me the pl-translator so that I may specialize in strings with plural verbs?

[fluid thistle]

cool burning? how...

[boreal quest]

But this is oddly written.

heat or cool the burning or frozen targets

Depending on their state, they either heat them up more or cool them down more.

Allow me to rephrase it:
"causing them to heat up already burning enemies or cool down already freezing ones"

[fluid thistle]

i think it's written like this because it's like a liquid that can freeze, nitrogen?

[fluid thistle]

thank you, it's more clear

[boreal quest]

It is oddly written, but this is how it should work.

[fluid thistle]

can i interpret "supply" like battery?
Or what it means in that context?

[boreal quest]

Like a battery, yes.

[dry cradle]

Yes. A battery is technically a power supply of sorts, so I guess you can use that

[fluid thistle]

who can explain this?
Damage increase when player velocity decrease? or is it about projectile velocity?

[slim verge]

it's not in game

don't bother with it

[distant cosmos]

how does one participate in the translating project? is it on github or something or how does it work?

i've noticed some weirdness with the dutch translations

[shell vine]

The game is translate through crowdin (see the pinned messages), anyone can participate, just need to make an account there.

[distant cosmos]

found the link, thanks

[shell vine]

Feel free to contact the other dutch translators, or to ask any questions here on how the platform works

[distant cosmos]

yeah thing with dutch is, we use a TON of english words without ever translating them

so it's kinda strange lol

but i'll check out the project on crowdin. cheers man

[fluid thistle]

what does "watt" mean?

[shell vine]

It's a unit used to measure power

[fluid thistle]

oh, well, "wham"?

[shell vine]

That's an expression in english 'more X for your buck', which means you get more for the same amount of money. I beleive wham here is more used as a sound effect, or an indication of hitting something

[fluid thistle]

damn, I don't think English can be that difficult, thank you

[fluid thistle]

in some translations, in source string and in accepted translation written "\r".
in some case "\r" written like that "example \r" in some "example\r".
Is there different among this variations?

[shell vine]

It should always be as it is in the source

[fluid thistle]

okay

[fluid thistle]

how i can set on word special mark, like, anyone can touch it and see translation that many people use while translating?

Do i need some privileges?

[shell vine]

I don't really understand what you mean here ? Are you talking about proofreading ?

[fluid thistle]

no, about underlined words, like here

[shell vine]

Those are the words referenced in the glossary. They are free to translate, and if you believe a word should be added to it, you can ask me directly for this.

[fluid thistle]

i want to add word "Hoxxes" in russian glossary, i see translations, where people translate this word in different ways

[shell vine]

You mean that you want to add a translation for Hoxxes in the glossary ?

[fluid thistle]

yes

[shell vine]

Just select this file, and you can add suggestions for terms

[fluid thistle]

how i can add? I don't understand, i only can see terms that be added

[shell vine]

Or did you mean that you would like "Hoxxes" available as a term in the glossary ?

[fluid thistle]

i want to add "Hoxxes" in terms, that it be underlined

[shell vine]

Just checked, it's on my list of terms to add. I just didn't take the time yet. It should come up in a week or two, depending on my free time

[fluid thistle]

then, how i can select translation that i think it's right, if another translation is proofreaded?

[shell vine]

You can vote on it, and raise an issue so it will be brought to the attention of the proofreaders.

They are the ones that will decide if your suggestion is better than the approved one, or not.

[distant cosmos]

my goodness, some of these dutch translations are a nightmare 😂. we use so many english words that some of the things just sound strange or unnatural

also just to confirm, devs call those crossbow bolts arrows but crossbow "arrows" are called bolts afaik

[boreal quest]

Yes, they should be bolts.

[half brook]

Hi, can I get access to the fr channel? Am commended by Mist/alexisnef.

[fluid thistle]

What does "sprite" mean?
It's don't means drink, i guess?
Is it like release of energy?

[mellow topaz]

That seems like an unused debug string

Because "sprite" refers to an image in gamedev

[fluid thistle]

oh, get it

[vital marsh]

There are some strings in the same context referencing ‘small, glowy things’ so my guess was an unused or upcoming mechanic in the Ommoran fight with small, flying sprites (fairy-like beings)

Probably similar to swarmer drones

[slim verge]

@native token Hey, could you give the fr-translator role to Morgân please ? ^^
Thank you very much !

[half brook]

Ah Ser Pounce, hi
You also approved a bunch of my translations

[wicked scroll]

Hey Morgân! Glad to see you here :)

[slim verge]

Yeah, I did 😄
Speaking of : amazing work btw

[half brook]

Oh, so it's that Mist

[dry cradle]

El misto

[half brook]

Thanks! It happened when a friend of mine pointed out that many translations were missing in Season 2, and said something about proofreaders being overworked. So I hopped onto Crowdin and spent half of my night translating nearly EVERY missing tr.

Glad I could do a decent job despite lacking sleep

Then again I'm starting to be experienced as a translator

[slim verge]

and it did help a lot, so thank you for that 🙂
also, the translation were of good quality overall 👌

[dry cradle]

What sleep does to a mf

[distant cosmos]

when there's no dutch translation for things, best to keep it blank i assume right? or is it stil be to confirm it with the same string in dutch then?

for instance something like TEMP_Heat is as it should be right. this is more a game string i assume

[wicked scroll]

You did an excellent job @half brook Thank you very much for your hard work 🙂

[half brook]

I wonder what you felt went you went to sleep one night, and in the morning, that one dude had translated over 600 strings

Hmm, I see that "sonic boom" one is stumping just about everyone

I don't think we can translate it, as it's most likely a Street Fighter reference

[slim verge]

it's not in use too so no need to stress about it

[half brook]

Ah, it's not? It's fine then.

Though I did bother translating several unused strings, so... 👀

[wicked scroll]

Always pleasant to only have proofreading to do, that's 90%+ of the work done and it's so much easier to just correct the few mistakes and eventually rephrase some strings rather than blocking on every string 😄

hey @solid bough could you give Morgan the fr_translator role when you have a hot minute? They translated a huge part of the season 2

[solid bough]

oui

[distant cosmos]

aight just completed another bunch of dutch translation. #onthegrind 😂

the amount of funny and bizarre lines this games has is truly amazing

makes me chuckle all the time

[fluid thistle]

decrypt this, please

[boreal quest]

Weapon license course - Scout

[vital marsh]

I'll comment this to the appropriate strings

[distant cosmos]

anyone know why it's being difficult?

i did add the \r at the end

[vital marsh]

Press Enter at the end of the line

[distant cosmos]

that worked. thanks!

[vital marsh]

\r just tells the game it's a new line, not the editor

[distant cosmos]

noted.

[distant cosmos]

how come some strings repeat a ton of times?

deep dive for instance has like 5 different strings all saying the same thing

these all lead to some other string in the game i suppose but are simply called the same ?

[vital marsh]

Yeah, get used to duplicate strings

[distant cosmos]

aight

how does one apply for one of the dutch translator roles? i have been doing it for 3 days now and see myself doing this for a while 🙂

[shell vine]

@lusty root @King Richard III ^

Weird, ping didn't work...

[slim verge]

@copper bluff

[lusty root]

If you think you've done enough work you can ask a mod to give you the role and add you to the pinned translator list

[distant cosmos]

i think i've done about 300+ translations so far. not sure that qualifies as "enough" though. but like i said, i see myself doing this for a while.

[slim verge]

You can be added to the nl-translators group even if you haven't translated yet, it's just to help you coordinate with other translators

[distant cosmos]

which mod should i ask then? any preferences?

[slim verge]

the community translator role is a bit different though

no, just ping one of them, they'll answer when they can

[distant cosmos]

ping them here i assume?

[slim verge]

yeah

[distant cosmos]

well something like that is of course not for people who did it 3 days. people who have been on the grind for a while are more suitable for something like that. which makes total sense

any idea if i can get added to the nl translator role list please? @shell horizon thanks in advance

(also sorry for ping lol)

[slim verge]

You pinged a dev though 😛
(no worries, they won't eat you, and you kinda happen to ping one of the best for that)

[distant cosmos]

[distant cosmos]

i assume people ping them for all sort of dumb crap so some of them might be sceptical when that happens 😂

[slim verge]

don't worry about it, as long as you don't ping for silly stuff

[distant cosmos]

noted. thanks

[dry cradle]

What if this is silly

[distant cosmos]

i mean, you have multiple translator roles so i can only assume you pinged them for the same thing

[shell horizon]

Hey, will check up on it and get back to you

[distant cosmos]

@shell vine Hi. About localisation of PlayStation version. As I understand firstly should be 100% completed.
As for their review. Is there some documentation with proper translations (Loc-kit) for Ukrainian? We have localisation in PlayStation it self for now. But will be great to have more games in Ukrainian there.
If shortly: gow it should be done correctly? And which way

[shell vine]

Thereous no easy answer to this I can give you : Sony asks for a majority of the language to be translated (not necessarily 100%, but close), and for certain technical or trademarked terms to be translated as they ask. But they don't give a list of those with the expected translations - except to the devs, and not easily - so thou have to try first, and of they don't like our, they'll let you know what they want instead.
So far, for the concerned terms, there are comments by Alex on the corresponding strings with how the word should be translated.

[honest sun]

Thanks@shell vine . Is there any option to filter through comments? Perhaps nsuch thing better be wrapped in context lines, that we easily can filter them.
As far as i know Manager privilege on Crowdin allows that

[somber gulch]

Hey, the "Ebonut" is an agglutination of "ebony" and "nut" Right?

[dry cradle]

I like to keep thinking "ebo" is just the nut type, just like walnuts

[boreal quest]

Ebo-nut
Ebo-nite

Just a hard shell formation. Hence why you need pickaxes for both.

||Did I blow your mind?||

[dry cradle]

💥💥

(Hence my translation for it: I just translated the "nut" part, made into "Ebonoz")

[pulsar oracle]

Hello! I'm interested in translating the game in Greek 🇬🇷 I have translated two projects in the past with Crowdin, so I know how it works
Thing is, I haven't played the game myself yet, I've only seen gameplay from streams and videos
Do you think I'll have trouble translating it? Can I start and see how it goes? Thank you in advance!

[limber yarrow]

Of course you can! Be sure to check the "Source Location" part on every string, as they might help you understand what it is

[shell vine]

And feel free to ask here if you are not sure

[pulsar oracle]

Awesome, thank you!

[pulsar oracle]

There are already some approved translations but some of them are wrong (mainly if they are from the suggested translations below) or wrongly capitalized
I will upvote the ones that are correct, should I type in the comments the incorrect ones the way some other people did?

[dry cradle]

Depends if the source string also has those capitalized words

I usually choose to leave translated words capitalized too if the original ones are also capitalized

[pulsar oracle]

Yes, the source strings do have capitalized words
Besides these strings, some others are grammatically incorrect or their spelling is wrong, not in many cases though

[pulsar oracle]

Would "Escape Capsule" or just "Capsule" be an appropriate translation for Drop Pod? I saw at the wiki that it's responsible for transportations

Or maybe "Transportation Capsule"?

[slim verge]

You'll likely be missing some context for the strings so ask away if you need anything

[slim verge]

sounds good to me. It's up to you to find the one you think is the most fitting

[pulsar oracle]

Alrightt

[regal elk]

wow

crowdin changed its UI?

I dig it

[mellow topaz]

Whuh

[hoary kestrel]

Who the hell translated Nemesis to a Punisher on russian side?

[mellow topaz]

the translations don't need to be exact, if the alternative is better

[vital marsh]

If Google Translate is anything to go by, then punisher should be a shorter word than nemesis and just as appropriate, hence its behaviour

[jade lark]

Maybe because you will punished if you get too close to it?

[pulsar oracle]

Regarding the DLCs, should I translate their names as well or keep them in English?

[shell vine]

The steam pages can't be updated with the translated names, so we decided to keep the names as is (for French).
There are no definite guidelines for this though

[honest sun]

And inside game itself DLC not translated, season names too. They like images

[pulsar oracle]

Okay thanks!

[surreal mural]

did my translator role disappear

yup it did, strange

[dry cradle]

translator role?

were you a community translator before?

or are you talking about your language channel access one?

[surreal mural]

I was given the it-translator role, so ig the community one?

no wait, it looks like community translator has its own role

but i was an it-translator

[surreal mural]

.

[slim verge]

were you away for a long period of time ?

[surreal mural]

i didn't translate anything for maybe a week or two

[vital marsh]

That's odd. I've had longer hiatuses than that and didn't have my rights taken away

(Although it's not like there's much left in Hungarian, anyway)

[surreal mural]

I would like to get the role because I've seen some lines or texts are either translated incorrectly or, in some cases, not translated at all (although most of the voicelines are fine)

[honest sun]

@surreal mural You can work on translations without role. log into Crowdin account and shoot it.

[surreal mural]

||shoot the sacks, take it out before it gets close!||
thanks!

[onyx tartan]

hmm are there any finnish translators yet

[boreal quest]

@mellow topaz is the person you are looking for.

[mellow topaz]

Here I am

[onyx tartan]

👍

hi I'm kinda interested in translating work where should i get started :D

[mellow topaz]

You just need to make an account to https://crowdin.com/project/deep-rock-galactic and start translating.

There is a role for FI translators, but it doesn't give any special privileges translation-wise. It just grants access to a Discord channel for the translators of that language.

[pulsar oracle]

Is there a role for Greek translators? About 3 people have translated some strings but they all seem inactive

[buoyant dagger]

I don't believe so, no

[onyx tartan]

is there any way to see what has already been translated so I can keep the wording consistent with the existing translations?

[half brook]

It's all on Crowdin.

[boreal quest]

You can filter to already translated strings. There is also the glossary to see what is translated how.

[onyx tartan]

gotchu, thanks

still figuring out how everything works, but stuff seems simple enough

[boreal quest]

It's simple, and it has neat tools to help you. Be sure to talk with your fellow Finns about what should be what. Sometimes you can't make out the context just by Crowdin alone and you need some in-game examples.

[onyx tartan]

just played the game in finnish for research purposes and gotta say the translation work that's already been done is amazing

[onyx tartan]

Could I have the fi translator role for the channel access?

[sage tangle]

@mellow topaz is the fin to talk to.

[onyx tartan]

yep, already got it :)

Mhhh Salmon

[boreal quest]

The available perk points string, if the language is too long, get out of its intended box. Do you think a simple /r could fix this?

[shell vine]

You can try, if it doesn't work, you can always revert it

[dry cradle]

Well, it could also fall out of the box with a newline lol

[boreal quest]

I'll give it a try. It can't hurt.

[dry cradle]

Or just abbreviate a word or two ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[shell vine]

Not really an option here

[boreal quest]

Not an option in Hungarian either.

[boreal quest]

Only if you do P. d. V. D. too.

[dry cradle]

That's brazillian portuguese.

[boreal quest]

I know.

But regular Pt. is not in the game.

Unless I have to do Spanish...?

[dry cradle]

Yeah yeah I know, don't need to rub the wound... ;-;

[boreal quest]

I did not mean to. 😔

[slim verge]

point de compétences dispo ?

[half brook]

On pourrait raccourcis en "dispos" pour commencer

[boreal quest]

If that looks better then go for it, but I have made the sacrifice.

I will report back once there is an update.

[shell vine]

That would work...
Maybe Pts too

[slim verge]

we can try that for sure

[hoary kestrel]

Something wrong, i can feel it

[boreal quest]

Oh, no. Things got translated that should not have been.

[hoary kestrel]

And it got verified lmao

No, wait, that was other translator

The first one translated "plural" and "one/other" words

[boreal quest]

Even the Japanese have done that to some strings.

[small kernel]

This was same for turkish too but now I fixed the issue, there's problem for formatting in the translation probably

[boreal quest]

This was fixed two days ago, but since it won't be visible until the next update you will just have to deal with it, sadly.

[pulsar oracle]

Someone has actually translated some of the names at the credits in Greek, I'm suggesting the English versions but they are already approved

[boreal quest]

The bottom text that is "gold mined" is not present on Crowdin.

[vital marsh]

I think that's valid, considering Greek doesn't use Latin script

[pulsar oracle]

I was just wondering because they were translated only in the Greek language https://prnt.sc/56u5nL2jszDo

can't post screenshot sorry

[boreal quest]

Can check in-game.

[slim verge]

take a role in #welcome-and-rules and you'll be able to post screenshot

[pulsar oracle]

oh, thank you

[shell vine]

Is three Greek version pronounced the same as the original ?

[pulsar oracle]

I’m not entirely sure how the original is pronounced but I assume so

[shell vine]

I'm not really sure of how this is supposed to go...
I'll get back to you once I have a more definitive answer

[pulsar oracle]

Sounds good, thanks

[shadow goblet]

I just want to say, i dont think the spanish translation of the crassus detonator is good, since it seems to mean a unique bug, instead of a type or a species

[shell vine]

That's more @leaden sapphire 's domain

[dry cradle]

depends if traditional or modern

[leaden sapphire]

Hi Johnny. Thanks for the comment. There is never a good response to these cases, and so when facing this situation, it was decided that the crassus was a special type of detonator, as if it had evolved to something else due to "life issues", but keeping its roots as a detonator. That, together with the fact that you don't find lots of crassus in a single mission, make him special, an entity. If considering that Crassus is a historical figure, this all got together to create a unique bug, rather than a species. "Craso" is also an adjective which does not really sound great on a bug, and would have required some transcreation that I didn't think it was necessary considering the nature of the creature. However I will discuss it and let you know if a change is possible.

[shadow goblet]

Im not saying is bad, i dont have a better idea myself, but it and the bulk have an odd names that im not sure about
Maybe "detonador gigante"for bulk would roll off better

Maybe "detonador crassoide" as if it was a mutation or such

[boreal quest]

According to the lore, a bulk detonator is just a regular detonator that managed to survive growing up.

[shadow goblet]

So its a giant detonator, so it kinda works

Again, thats just my idle thunks

[leaden sapphire]

Changing "detonador abultado" is something I would have liked to do as well, but I started the project when the name was already accepted and changing it would have meant sort of a misled, even in early access. I am sure devs wouldn't have accepted such a change at that stage, so I didn't start changing things to my own will.

So I think that wouldnt have made the cut, and even less now. Could be discussed though, but don't have high hopes for that.

And yes, according what interloper says, that's why it initially wasn't considered to make it another species.

[boreal quest]

If it helps to brainstorm a little bit, we just named the bulk "elder detonator" based on the lore that I've mentioned.

[leaden sapphire]

That's actually a good suggestion, yes, although it removes the gold message behind crassus

But anyway, I will see if it can be modified at this stage, and if so, I will let you know, jhonny

Would that be OK for you for the moment?

And thanks interloper

[shadow goblet]

Nah, dont worry too much, its just me thinking idly

[leaden sapphire]

Idle thinking helps a lot

Don't take me wrong, im not asking you to shut up or anything of the like

[boreal quest]

I forgot I had this name here, durr. 😁

[shadow goblet]

Also, "detonador alquimico" while it keeps out the crassus, but makes sound like its diferent, ill nap on it, maybe i get something

[shell vine]

I just got the word of god on this, the names are to stay as is.
I'll fix them this evening.

[pulsar oracle]

Cheers

[boreal quest]

The experiment was a failure, it did not do anything, but it also did not ruin the text.

[shell vine]

Translation build ?

[boreal quest]

Ye

[somber gulch]

I think the name "Crassus" is a reference to the "richest men in rome":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Licinius_Crassus

But maybe in Spanish there´s a better reference for someone very rich

[shell vine]

That reference was confirmed by the devs, you can go for it (even more because he was killed by molten gold)

Hey I know it's been a while but Crassus is a word in Latin meaning roughly "Fat and Ugly" Romans adopted it as a nickname for other people who fit the picture

It was a cognomen which usually was bestowed (for better or for worse)

finally my Latin class came in handy

[cyan torrent]

Hello, everyone! I was wondering who's responsible for non-English localizations? Are they made by the devs or the community?
At any rate, whomever made the Ukrainian localization deserves a freaking raise 🤣 I switched to it and I can't stop laughing, it's simply amazing))

[vital marsh]

Translations are made by the community and can be freely contributed to by anyone with a Crowdin account.

[sharp dagger]

Afaik the Ukrainian translation was done by @honest sun.

[honest sun]

@cyan torrentHi. It is a pleasure to read it. Starting part in the first was made by the community, but as you can see on Crowdin statistic : only a few people with a massive amount of words.
Anyway. Thank you.

And i know that there some places need to be checked and adjusted to better quality))

But currently, war and we need to focus on earning some cash, not to make a free (cool but free) translation. But I will return soon) and mission will be completed.

[pulsar oracle]

Can I use "analyzing cave..." here? Trying to think if there's a more accurate translation

[shell vine]

That works, and this is secondary text, so it's perfectly fine

[pulsar oracle]

Ty!

[ornate halo]

Just tried it, hilarious for sure

Кулеметник time

[molten heath]

I think is more a reference to how he died. His enemies "poured molten gold into his month in symbolic mockery of his thirst for wealth."

[eternal crag]

🇧🇷 petition to rename the lootbug in the portuguese translation to "bicho sacola" (bagbug) as that name fits and sounds better (imo) to what blue collar miners would call a bug with precious ore inside it (it is currently translated as "gift bug" but the word for gift is too long with too many consonants)

[dry cradle]

which portuguese? brazillian or european?

looking at your suggestion, i assume its brazillian, but nevertheless lol

[eternal crag]

bro the flag 😭

[dry cradle]

i have endured enough pain to never trust flags now 😔

ive seen apps having just "portuguese" in the language, just to show brazillian flag 😔

[eternal crag]

I can understand your frustration

[dry cradle]

||at least they could put "portuguese (brazillian)" 😔||

[shell vine]

And here I refrained from pinging you because it seemed clear enough, and you manage to spite yourself all alone ^^

Would you be ready to translate the game to persian ?

[digital dawn]

Guess who's baaaaack

Yes! I have some Esperanto fluency tests to take this year, so as one means of practicing, I've returned to translating DRG

I'm only mentioning it here because I fear logging in one day and it being removed on the suspicion that it's been abandoned :( So, no, it has not been!

[mellow topaz]

I don't think abandoned languages are removed
at least I haven't heard of that

at most they'll probably just be removed from the game itself, but remain in Crowdin

[snow scroll]

Hey @shell horizon , I just noticed you changed the Chinese localized name to 深岩银河集团. This isn't great for region marketing as 深岩银河 is already a well established name which spreaded in the gaming community since early access.

Also @light quest posted chat scrshots with you and I think FROZE's idea represents a lot of Simplified Chinese players' thoughts

[shell horizon]

Hey, yeah I reverted it back to English for now, thanks for the heads up

[pulsar oracle]

Hi again, quick question
Do texts like these address to many people or only one? Basically should I use the singular or plural verb?

[mellow topaz]

usually depends on the general consensus among the translators

if others translate it as plural, translate it as plural here too

[dry cradle]

i tend to translate it in the plural, just in case you're in a team of 3 or 4 players

[vital marsh]

Same here

[pulsar oracle]

okay!

[vital marsh]

Most of the time you'll be playing with a full party

Just like how Mission Control's lines are usually translated in plural, because it's appropriate in every case except if you're on a solo mission without Bosco

[pulsar oracle]

fairr

[covert cobalt]

They be coming in pairs now

[shell vine]

Doesn't help them survive longer^^

[covert cobalt]

It does but only by 2 seconds

[pulsar oracle]

is there a way to check how many words i have translated? (all time)

i can only see the top members of the past month or so

[boreal quest]

You can filter the top members section to find yourself, but I have your numbers in front of me right now.

[pulsar oracle]

thank you

[short abyss]

mostly unrelated but valve moved from their official translation page to crowdin and i got to see how they do gendering in their games which is kinda neat https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3tonvwlj29yds3k/AACMMV5uR7T9oRdoOjlaV-O5a/Genders in Source 2.pdf?dl=0

tl;dr assigned gender token in eg. a name, which is then read in the actual string and changes depending on the token sent

[honest sun]

@short abyss Valve moved on Crowdin with several EarlyBirdLanguages (with toprated translators). I'm glad and proud, that Ukrainian among them. (Some part of my efforts putted there too).
And, yes. Genders is a one of things, which developers often can forget while working on a code of the game.

[honest sun]

And some important notice about Source and Valve. That thing with genders works only with special strings which developed for using genders.

[shell vine]

Just translated words (but there is a quick check to avoid nonsense spam to boost stats)

[shell vine]

There is no real schedule, it's when the dev in charge has time.

What language would you like to contribute to ?

[slim verge]

every contribution is valued equally 🙂

[shell vine]

There are definitely no "bigger value" languages, I was asking so I could link you with the already present translators, so you can coordinate your efforts ^^
Check in with @hollow obsidian (but he's a very busy guy) and @rain spruce . (And there is a third one, but I don't remember his name...)

[rapid sentinel]

In the finnish version of the game the reinforced power drills are not translated the translation would be Vahvistetut porat, Vahvistetut kiviporat or Vahvistetut kaivosporat (pora=power drill /drill kivipora=stone drill kaivospora=mine drill )

Also the nerve gas (hermo kaasu) is translated as nerve poison (hermo myrkky)

The deepcore gk2 would be syväydin gk2

Also plasma granade instead of plasma kranaatti is incorrectly written as plasmanaatti

The deep core 40MM would be syväydin 40MM

[chilly orbit]

@mellow topaz could you consider the translation above ? thanks :)

[mellow topaz]

The power drill names need to be standardized, as there are some inconsistencies. It shouldn't be "sähköporat", because it uses liquid fuel, not electricity. Thanks for reminding me.

[mellow topaz]

Hermomyrkky is used here because nerve gas is more often translated to hermomyrkky as opposed to hermokaasu.
As with that one and the later examples, the translations don't need to be transliterations. It's a part of localization, to make names fit better into the mouths of other nationalities. It's the reason why the satchel charge is named kasapanos and not laukkupanos; the former holds more meaning within the Finnish lexicon.

[mellow topaz]

Deepcore is also not translated because it is a company name, not a regular noun.

[mellow topaz]

As for this, "plasma burster" is a tricky one to translate. Plasmanaatti was chosen because of the abbreviation, so it's faster to say than the alternative.

[rapid sentinel]

@mellow topaz fair enough just atempted to be of assistance

[mellow topaz]

Hey, I still appreciate it. I haven't been keeping up with the new strings myself, so any help is nice.

[mellow topaz]

Is this bug known? Both of the cosmetics' descriptions are the same as one of the halloween cosmetics, and even the coconut cosmetic's name is taken from it

[boreal quest]

They are the same as the pickaxe in the head one, which is also called "headcracker"

[mellow topaz]

which is what I said
anyway, is this bug known and reported?

[boreal quest]

Sorry, I can't read.

But yeah, it ought to be.

[shell vine]

It is

[boreal quest]

@honest sun This was reported on jira. I double checked, and it is a valid thing. Would you be able to rectify it?

i know whatever ideas i give are as likely to be uses as descarted, but i had a genius thunk on a decent name for the spanish translation of the crassus bulk
"detonador áurico"

its a real word, check the dictionaries if you want

[chilly orbit]

@leaden sapphire Pinging you for the proposition above, as you're the spanish proofreader :)

Got it, Jhonny. Thanks. Will keep you updated on a possible change.
Thanks for the ping, Raccooniid

Hi, greenbeard on Discord here, I found the first point on the Spanish translation of this mode a bit odd, it says "Weakpoint Damage Reduction... "

[slim verge]

@leaden sapphire you might wanna take a look at this

[leaden sapphire]

@limber yarrow this is your field, as it is the Spanish (Latam) version. I was having a look at mine, and my text was completely different and I was like...o_O

Thanks for the ping, Ser Pounce

Yeah, the reduction part should be augmentation, can you confirm, Lark?

[slim verge]

oops my bad 😂

[leaden sapphire]

No worries, hehehe. It's generally kind of difficult to make a difference between both, especially as a foreigner. Never hesitate to ping any of us both. If not, we will "bounce" the request to the appropriate one 😛

Out of curiosity, would you say something similar could happen between France French and Canadian French?

[slim verge]

maybe ? Though they are quite different so I'm not sure

also, there's no canadian french translation 😄

[leaden sapphire]

Yeah, I meant in general. In a game with both.

[gray arrow]

There's also a small typo on the 6th line on the smart rifle stats, it should say "Rango de Marcado" I guess.

[slim verge]

never saw french canadian outside of my minecraft tbh 😄

[leaden sapphire]

The proofreader will report as soon as he can and get the changes done, moy1221. Many thanks for finding and reporting those!

[leaden sapphire]

Well, I've seen quite some games with it. Definitely not many AAA's

[limber yarrow]

i'll check and fix those strings when I get back home, thanks for reporting it!
