[old forum]

Is it alright to change/edit old glossary? I know this is pretty sensitive but a lot of words in the glossary either are roughly translated or it no longer contain the true/correct meaning anymore. I wanted to ask in advance just to make sure it's okay to do so.

[slim verge]

If it's required, there's nothing wrong with updating the glossary

[old forum]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Glossary is used by the whole translation team, is it? Just wanted to be absolutely clear because in case someone else join the translation team in the future 🙌

[slim verge]

The untranslated glossary list is the same for everyone, but the translated words are tied to their respective languages.

[old forum]

thanks for the info! I'm Back to the Glossary now!

[slim verge]

no problem

[final hamlet]

I'm buying DRG now!

[final hamlet]

Just for addition, adding translations in Glossary first might help you in translating main in-game text

Because you'd be able to just click underlined words which are connected to Glossary

[willow pawn]

i will soon

[final hamlet]

Already installed and now trying out. It lagged a lot first but then I noticed that my laptop decided to kill it with ULTRA settings hahahaha

Okay, this game can scare the hell out sometimes

Got a glitch here

I have English language set

And it partially shows Ukrainian

[slim verge]

set to your chosen language, restart the game, don't touch the setting again

[final hamlet]

Got it

It's fine tho, I understand Ukrainian haha

[shell vine]

Yeah, it's known and reported, but a tricky one to nail down it would seem...

[honest sun]

@final hamlet in translations better not to be so sured, because we used some not so common words. But in general yes, Belarusian have 84% of common lexicon.
And I glad that some of you try to revive Belarusian. I know that was one translator, that tried to add Belarusian in every game that he find. suppose was his name something with Lex and it were times when STS-UA actively translating Steam and other games in Ukrainian.
Anyway, Живе Бєларусь!

[final hamlet]

It'll be easier with help of Ukrainian language as well, which I actually understand almost clearly and tried to speak it once. Thanks! Слава Украіне

[wheat wraith]

Bloody sticker

[wheat wraith]

When I get on the computer I'll show you a picture of English, Polish and probably Spanish all on the same screen

[rancid terrace]

What's the origin of the 'dreadnought' name? Is it from the ships?

[half moth]

yea, a kind of battleship from the early 20th century iirc

[wheat wraith]

We made it into "pancernik" which is one of the names for battleships, but it is also the common denomination for armadillos, it's one of our better translations if I do say so meself

[rancid terrace]

Hmmm using the ship origin wouldn't really fit the Dutch translation. So I'll keep it as dreadnought. Thanks for the info. Might change it if I come up with something good sounding.

[wheat wraith]

Yeah, you don't have to make it literal. If it fits, especially if it's some cool homonym then feel free to make it not a dreadnought, though the ship reference should probably still remain

[rancid terrace]

Coming up with good sounding translations when a direct translation doesn't work is so hard, but it feels so good when you come up with something great

[wheat wraith]

Yeap, it's grreat

[sage tangle]

@frank zephyr here is the channel esp. for the translators. Currently we have 1 turkish translator afaik, we're happy for any helping hand!
@small kernel Cyplax offered his help translating via PM 🙂

[small kernel]

Portuguese translators, can you check that typo in your language? #1076914891929170020 message

[frank zephyr]

Thanks a lot for helping out!

Yes I'd be more than happy to help with translation process from English to Turkish anytime!

[broken path]

checked, a corrected translation was approved 2 months ago

[wheat wraith]

Then why does it not show up?

[broken path]

idk ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wheat wraith]

We got bugs, lots of them!

[wheat wraith]

Maybe you should delete the incorrect one

[broken path]

that's up to @somber gulch

[wheat wraith]

I meant you as "you, PT-BR translators"

[shell vine]

Achievements need a manual upload from the devs to steam, so that's probably why it's not yet there.

[wheat wraith]

🥱 why is it always things that the devs won't do

Can't they make a system that does that automatically or something

Or give that power to you, or some other head translator like cheese pounce

[kindred remnant]

Yyyeah.. still waiting on news for those credits I long for 🥹 I'm up to 45k words now

Nobody would reply to DMs

[shell vine]

Not really, since those are published on steam, they are counter checked before the upload.
And no, no community member would ever, no matter the level of engagement or the duration of said engagement, get access to the steam pages with edit permissions.

[rancid terrace]

To the DRG devs: Please give me access to edit the steam pages. I am totally sane and you can trust me.

It's normal

[dry cradle]

Yeah, in beers.

...you don't get paid in beers?

[thorny brook]

https://tenor.com/view/dwarf-toast-gif-26078883

[wheat wraith]

Actually, why the avait there? I just took it from crowdin, can't check who translated that line but it's the "start hacking like there's no tomorrow" line. Is is just one of the ten thousand and one p. composé-based tenses I'm not familiar with, or is it just how you say the expression equivalent of "like there's no tomorrow"? Or is it just a mistake?

@slim verge can you explain that to me?

or anybody else, for that matter

[rancid terrace]

French verbs 😠

[wheat wraith]

it's actually pretty logical once you get into it

but im not gonna go on a "the one thing where french makes sense" tangent here

[slim verge]

there's no french equivalent for "like there's no tomorrow" but from french to english it would literally translate "as if there was no tomorrow".

As to why our language constructed that way, I don't know, I'm not a philologist

[rancid terrace]

I dreaded French in highschool. But that's probably because I never used it irl. Since my English is a lot better and they taught that in the same way. ( a bad and boring way)

[wheat wraith]

ah, as if=would, would is a past verb in english too. heard something about that before but wasn't teached about this yet on either the vacation course i took, the course im on right now or in 🤮 school

[wheat wraith]

True. Our education is also terrible on fronts, but that's a topic that I've coved so many times I'm just tired of it... Anyways, taking that vacation course helped me a lot to understand some things I didn't get or just didn't learn because our French teacher was incredibly slow, barely got to basics like <<passé composé>>; the base for many other, more complex tenses like <<plus que parfait>>. Now I'm taking another course every saturday, and it's all going well, also using Duolingo, plus the teacher at the new school is a lot faster, in fact a bit too fast at times, but that's what the other facilities help with, catching up to the level of the group there.
Tl;dr: You shoulda used outside resources, unless you didn't care for it which I really don't blame you for if your average school is like one of our best ones. I am a language nerd, after all. I'll be thrilled if you tell me some dutch swears #GemmeOuttaThisDamnedCountry

[wheat wraith]

Oh, speaking of which, are any of the fr translators philologists/just knowledgeable in the language in some greater capacity?

[slim verge]

Morderoc is kinda knowledgeable I suppose but he's not very active

[wheat wraith]

@wispy zinc this guy?

[dry cradle]

More de rock

[slim verge]

yup

[rancid terrace]

I never really cared for it tbh, I barely studied for both English and French. English because it was too easy and French because I disliked it.

I'd be delighted to teach you some Dutch swears but I should probably keep it out of this chat. 😂

Remind me tomorrow and I'll DM you some, but now I am about to go to bed.

[wheat wraith]

I'm just asking, cause sometimes I'm just curious about something in French and don't have anyone like that available, I mean I could ask the course teacher/ shool teacher but they are often busy or unavailable

[wheat wraith]

2 - Of course, probably yes.
3 - Sure, I'll just pop a hi there so i don't forget
1(order? ?whats that mean) - yeah, it's not for everyone. for me polish and english being 2 languages im at similar levels in, i chose it kind of on a whim having the choice to pick german, italian, russian or sp*nish instead but it worked out, i think it can be of some good use while being... ah... interesting, let's call it, and because of kind of complicated reasons polish and english are both useful for learning it, giving me 2 perspectives on it.

[kindred remnant]

Did they update the in-game translations this past weekend?

[slim verge]

not that I know of but should be easy to check through the activity tab on crowdin

[sage tangle]

There was no patch, so the answer is no
needs a patch to get new translations

[vital marsh]

Yes; translations are updated with most patches. There's never been a patch—at least in my time—that updated only translations.

[wheat wraith]

Would be little point in that

I just wish that they would put the good old fashioned "updated the localization files" one of these patches

[sage tangle]

Basically always the case. They rarely miss it ||since we bitched about it for months during early access||

[wheat wraith]

oh, so it is in the notes?

[sage tangle]

No because it's always the case

Patch = strings are patched into the game

[shell vine]

Also because we bitch about it when they forget. A lot.

[bold sequoia]

Where can I sign up to become a Polish community translator. I saw the post where you can use a flag emoji, but it didn't work for me.

I did some bits on crowdin.

[shell vine]

There is no real "sign-up" per say.
You just translate on crowdin ^^

[bold sequoia]

Oh ok thanks 😄

[kindred remnant]

No mention of adding our translations or putting us in credits yet

[wheat wraith]

Welcome to the team!

Well, team is perhaps a little too much to say, but welcome anyways

[wheat wraith]

We do get in-game rewards at least

speaking of which, how are they structured? I know there's tiers and stuff but I don't know where to read about it

[rancid terrace]

https://crowdin.com/project/deep-rock-galactic

text on the right

[long dawn]

You did ?

I don't think I've recieved anything, where do we recieve it ?

[rancid terrace]

Need to translate 5000 words for first reward. the devs apparently check it once in a while

[long dawn]

Yeah I know, I am near the 15k mark, but Pantuternik seems to say that the devs gave rewards somewhere, or am I mistaken ?

[rancid terrace]

I think he means the credits?

Don't think we get an actual in game item

[wheat wraith]

I got the Dark Future DLC pack code just yesterday

[long dawn]

You've recieved it through the crowdin notifications ?

[wheat wraith]

Through the messages, yes

[long dawn]

:(

I guess I have to wait a bit more x)

But it's okay, I don't have the time to play the game anyway nowadays

[chilly orbit]

I think devs are getting a little busy with the 5th year anniversary event

[long dawn]

Yeah no worries, I just supposed they would give the rewards in batch

[kindred remnant]

Whaaat? Did you contact them for it? I'm at 51k words I think

No rewards so far

I did start last month to be fair

[wheat wraith]

No, they just messaged me, I wasn't even aware of there being rewards

Guess I'm special lol

Tbh I didn't check how many words I have, might be more than 5k and the information on the site is false

[thorny brook]

So yall are getting rewards and such? That's cool

My reward is the possibility of petting more lootbugs

[thorny cove]

Sounds like a good reward ngl

[boreal quest]

Beans are a much better reward, but I'd take the pettings.

[thorny cove]

Pet the beans?

[wheat wraith]

That's what it says on project page

But here's the kicker

So yeah, guess I am special

Because we're all special

[boreal quest]

You will get it eventually. They do it in waves.

[wheat wraith]

I'm just looking forward to getting tier 6, rival tech is awesome

[boreal quest]

I hope I can get that retroactively as well.

[wheat wraith]

Guess that then you should just message them

[boreal quest]

If I get it then I get it, if not then not. That is how I view it. I am just happy to make something that is of high quality.

If a person says that they appreciate the work the 🇭🇺 team did then the rewards are plentiful.

[wheat wraith]

Yeah, so do I. I mean, this motivates me a little more to do it but right now I'm a bit too busy

[dry cradle]

#babelfish-lounge message

[dry cradle]

[wheat wraith]

Maybe this should be pinned

[thorny brook]

That looks engaging

Meh, Im alright just having the possibility to help the devs, plus the game is still on gamepass :]

[wheat wraith]

Certainly, you get almost all if you do enough - though for me unfortunately a lot has been already done (good for the poles playing the game, though, that's the whole point) in Polish, and I'm not gonna try messing with French, but I suppose there's always new things added, so I can work there as one of the, I dunno 3

[wheat wraith]

Oh yeah there's also that "english" translation which I don't understand, why is there an English translation for an English game?

[dry cradle]

because

[thorny brook]

[wheat wraith]

for the reason of

[shell vine]

For the rewards question, the work to be done backstage for this is rather consequent (keeping track of contributions, filtering for trolls, keeping track of previously given rewards, etc.) so the devs work through those in batch at specific periods of time. Be patient, they'll eventually go over your profile.

[thorny cove]

Broken English translation when?

[wheat wraith]

Pirate English translation when?

[dry cradle]

with the following supplied motivation:

[shell vine]

Already happened, troll was banned (several times, several trolls)

idk if it's just me but

can anyone else access crowdin rn

[light quest]

something might went wrong about crowdin servers? loading time isnt that long before.

[wheat wraith]

Yeah, had the same issue earlier

Seems okay now

[dim aurora]

is this a scam or real?

[shell vine]

Seems legit, seeing the address domain

Got that this morning though, so the delay for the "first 25" is probably over

[slim verge]

got the same too

[dim aurora]

i dont think the adress is legit because i never got a mail from that adress

its usually a noreply adress

[shell vine]

It's a legit domain, I already had exchanges over that.

aight

Yeah, I got it too and I was like

‘First 25’ is definitely already claimed lmao

[thorny brook]

I didnt get that ;-;

@wheat wraith sorry for the ping, did you get contacted on crowdin or discord?

[long dawn]

crowdin

[wheat wraith]

crowdin. also don't be sorry

[agile stratus]

Hello. I'm not sure that I'm writing to the right place, but I'll ask anyway. Russian localization is present on the PC, but it is not on the console. Will it ever appear there?

[slim verge]

Playstation I suppose ?

[agile stratus]

Yes

[slim verge]

It's up to Sony then. Let's say they have "standards" and as long as the translation is not meeting up those, the localization won't be put in.

I have no idea in what state the russian translation is in regarding Sony's standards but it's "complete" as far as I know.

[agile stratus]

Thanks for the answer. But the "standards" are kind of strange, because the game has a language marked "work in progress".

[slim verge]

If I recall, they require to have the language to be translated up to a certain % and have specific terms translated as well. I suppose it's the case since the translation is complete. So it's either a matter of quality or a matter of communication between GSG and Sony.

I personally cannot judge about the quality since I do not speak the language, but I believe it to be rather good since there aren't many complaints as far as I know. 😄

[broken path]

I love how that's the barometer 🤣

[vital marsh]

They have some of their own terms for specific stuff—both very specific things like their own hardware and more generic terms, like ‘controller’. I remember we had to change the wording for the latter specifically in the translation for all platforms because of this, which was kind of a bummer.

It wasn't huge (játékvezérlő (game controller) -> vezérlő (controller)), but still significant.

[sage tangle]

Yeh for any language, they wouldn't push German if we would not have "corrected" some terms to what their defaults are.

I think the sticks and rumble or something like that IIRC

[kindred remnant]

Just got the DM on Crowdin! I'm so happy 🥹

[kindred remnant]

Now I just need to push for the Romanian diacritics to be added, and the game will be actually playable in RO!

[shell vine]

Don't worry, that's already underway

(Not just the Romanian ones though)

[kindred remnant]

Nice! Can't wait

[regal elk]

heyo

ah wait its hard to read it

ah wait

I answered my own quesion

"Since the last update, we have set up a Translator Branch on Steam where you can play the game with the latest translations. It is synced daily with Crowdin, so you should now be able to test your work much faster than in the past. We have also split the patch notes into a separate folder so you can better track the progress of the main game translations in your language. To access the translator branch, you can contact me or someone in the translator channel on Discord."

I wanted to ask how do I gain access to this

[slim verge]

It's still getting worked on and is not fully functional as far as I'm aware

[regal elk]

oof

[slim verge]

got many issues with it sadly

[regal elk]

sadge

and here I was looking forward to it

:(

[slim verge]

we all are 😔

[shell vine]

We all are, but as it stands currently, the translator branch is so broken it does not help in any way for translations. It is something that is being worked on, but it is complicated with having to keep it compatible with the live branch of the game...

[sage tangle]

We had it working some time, but GSG build system is quite sophisticated and it kept breaking

[slim verge]

I remember testing it with you and it was just complete desync all the time 😄

[ornate halo]

@honest sun you're doing UA translation? Found a "typo"

[burnt basin]

hey quick question

is this enough for a community translator role?

[shell vine]

Hello, the role doesn't have hard requirements, but is instead given by the devs/mods to translators with a long term involvement in the project and activity on discord.

[burnt basin]

oh okay! thank you for the answer :)

[thorny brook]

I love when this situation happens: You get notified of a wrong string, then you review the suggestion, and that suggestion is wrong

[burnt basin]

i've been suggesting a few things, was it me?

[thorny brook]

Or just changes one word that the person found better in their view, but still marked the original translation as wrong

[dry cradle]

it happened on pt-eu, sadly

[burnt basin]

yeah it was me for sure

sorry if it bothered you, in my defense i was just trying to keep consistency by doing a few tweaks

[thorny brook]

Lemme see if it was yu, i gotta hurry

[burnt basin]

oh i'm sure it was ALKSFHASJKLFH

[thorny brook]

Oh yeah, it was

[burnt basin]

I was just checking similar strings and noticed some inconsistencies, figured i'd suggest a tweak

[thorny brook]

In your defense, it was an old string and I had to change a word

Not the one you suggested though

Anyways, don't let me stop ya, continue to review stuff eh, I gtg now

[burnt basin]

sure

sorry for bothering you

[thorny brook]

You gotta try harder to manage to bother me

[burnt basin]

oh I'd prefer to keep you happy instead of bothered tbh FJHSDAJLFKHDSA

[dry cradle]

*bothers you*

[burnt basin]

in that case, hope you have a nice day :)

[burnt basin]

just to be clear, I didn't think yours was wrong, I just thought that the word I suggested would make it easier to understand the text!! it felt a little confusing to me when I first read it, that's all

[harsh pagoda]

Hello dear translators,

We are trying a new flow to keep track and fix localization issues, including typos, to avoid those reports getting lost amongst the regular bugs.

The main changes from the current setup concern :

• How to report typos in the source strings (the original game text) => We will now only look at typos brough up through Crowdin.

• How to report localization issues (untranslatable strings, font issues, general localization wonkiness, etc.) => A new forum, only accessible to translators, specifically for this purpose.

- How to report a typo in Crowdin (so we can see it) - See the first image

• Locate a source string with a spelling mistake or a typo in it (grammar issues as well).
• Write a comment on the string page explaining the error.
• Check off the "Issue" box at the bottom of the comment section.
• Select "Mistake in the source string".
• Send the comment 🙂

Doing this will make the issue pop up automatically in our to-do list, and we will mark the issue as “Resolved” if it is either intended or fixed internally (meaning the fix will be live with the next string push). - See the second image

This is only valid for typos in the source (English), not the ones in the translations.

For localization bugs (e.g. Text not being translatable, missing characters in a language, other oddities) I’ve made a private forum (#1079683089405591582) for translators (and devs, ofc) here in the Translator section of the discord.

This forum is for reporting any localization bugs that aren't typos, such as:

• Missing strings in Crowdin
• Translator build being weird(er than expected)
• Missing characters in some languages
• Font issues
• Lack of space/out of bounds issues
• Debug language issues
• Crowdin/DRG interface issues
  In short: bugs that most of the community would never notice/see - but that you as translators encounter and hinder you in the translation effort.

We will monitor and moderate this forum to ensure the stuff reported there is put on our internal fix-lists.

Hopefully separating the localization specific bugs from the gameplay related bugs will prevent them downing out > make it easier for us to find > getting them fixed > making it easier for you to do the awesome work you already are doing 🌟

[burnt basin]

hi devs! I've noticed that an achievement is missing a word for the PT-BR translation, i thought it was weird since it's been correctly translated in crowdin for a while now, just letting you know!

[shell vine]

Achievements need to be manually updated, so they have a very long turnover period once translated/changed in crowdin.
It's mostly batch work, so it won't be done for just a single string.

[burnt basin]

got it, makes sense! thanks for the answer

[kindred remnant]

They're about to integrate our translations tomorrow right? 👀

[sage tangle]

A patch automatically implements the most recent (automatic) string pull.
For "in between" patches sometimes the pull is a few days old. Meaning it could be from the day or week before.

[harsh pagoda]

We will do a pull tomorrow morning for translations (for steam) - so anything you want in/ changed needs to get in for anniversary needs to be done before that 🙂

[kindred remnant]

Awesome, thank you! Can't wait🥹

I'm doing some finishing touches now, I managed to hit 63% completion for the game file. It was at 11% when I started on Feb 1st

[long dawn]

you are so fast x)

[kindred remnant]

I just play and revise everything I see in real time

Good old time. That's the way

Can't wait to try out romanian and not understand a word.

[shell vine]

@light quest and @obsidian nova , here is a deadline for the steam anniversary pull <t:1677646800:R> (I made it on the safe side, should hit before the real pull).

[obsidian nova]

Oh by the way, just checked Steam pages in Chinese Traditional
Steam achievement page still haven't update to the last changes I made (~2 Years ago)
And Biohazard Pack's About This Content section isn't using my translation on Crowdin, which result in some inconsistency

Mod plz send halp

[sage tangle]

Did you mention it needed to be updated?
Steam store pages are "moderated" and not updated automatically on purpose.

[obsidian nova]

Yeah of course, I think

[sage tangle]

I'll forward those again to the responsible people 🙂

[burnt basin]

nice! I did the same thing back in the day, it's so addictive

[kindred remnant]

Did they mention when the update goes live?

[dry cradle]

if not today, then soon

[kindred remnant]

We just got a shout out for translating the game on the stream, but they seem to think only 25 languages have been translated so far 🤣

[shell vine]

Tomorrow

[thorny brook]

So, new game incoming heh? Are we translating it too?

[sage tangle]

It's up to the respective devs to decide that individually.
Plus if they do, it's gonna be crowdin again I assume, so they'll make it public 🙂

[slim verge]

depends on the dev team developing it

[thorny brook]

So gsg aint developing it? I see

[slim verge]

they're publishing it

[thorny brook]

Alrighty

[kindred remnant]

Patch is in, but the translations aren't

Nor the credits update

[kindred remnant]

Did you guys manage to do it in the end?

[harsh pagoda]

We pulled translations yesterday - it should be in this build.

[kindred remnant]

Maybe Romanian got omitted?

[harsh pagoda]

How many % did it have before?

[kindred remnant]

12

Or 11

It hasn't been touched since 2020

[harsh pagoda]

Ah - Sorry yeah - then it was probably omitted - will make sure it is included in next pull!

[kindred remnant]

Aw, thanks. Do you have a guesstimate on the release date for that?

Also @harsh pagoda do you think credits will be updated along with it? I got the DM but I'm not in there yet

[hybrid relic]

does arabic still have 1 translator ?

[shell vine]

It has a couple of on again, off again translators, and a single serious one. You'll want to ask @thorny coyote

[hybrid relic]

Okay i will ask him later

thanks (:

[sage tangle]

Yes he's the main guy, but help is always welcome and needed 🙂

In #1062710911367925780, can I submit lines with entire words not matching what the dwarf says?

[chilly orbit]

In the English text ?

[shell vine]

Sure. Do add those on crowdin too please.

[opal siren]

How come the hellfire overclock for the Armskore Gauss for the Gunner contradicts itself in terms of what the description says and what the changed stats say?
The description says it lowers charge time, but it actually increases it.

[wheat wraith]

Already done that

[peak mantle]

Greetings. Some friends and I want to translate the game to Catalan, but sadly it's not enabled on Crowdin yet. I am part of "Ce Trencada", a group of fan translators that strive to push our language in the world of video games and make it more popular.

[shell vine]

We can ask for Catalan to be opened for translation, but I must warn you that the game currently has more than a 100 000 words of content (excluding patch notes), so it is a long and hard endeavour. The game also receives regular updates, so the translation will need maintenance in the future to be kept up to date.
Finally, new languages are not added to the game before they have a significant aount of content translated, so it will not be possible for you to see your work before quite some time has passed.

Lastly, I do recommend that you and your friends have the game before translating, as quite a lot of the context is better understood by playing.

[peak mantle]

Thanks! I already have the game on Steam for testing, and others can play it via Game Pass if needed. I'll comment the details with them :)

[olive osprey]

That's my stupid english competences I believe. I'll change that.

[sage tangle]

That string will then be on crowdin for us to translate? 🙂

[olive osprey]

Should be, but not sure when it's going to be live. 🙂

[kindred remnant]

There's not a scheduled time for the next translation pull, right? Since Romanian was omitted I'm waiting for some news on that. 🥹

[sage tangle]

its been worked on, but with the next (big?) update.
So I assume next season in 3 months or so.

[kindred remnant]

oh boy

how can I make sure they don't forget about Romanian again? And the credits list update

[sage tangle]

a) you can't
b) we try to make sure GSG won't forget 🙂

You could be lucky and the end of anniversary event could get a patch to remove the legacy version, which COULD include the translation.
Though how the build system works, GSG tries to avoid that to not patch in unannounced content, IIRC.

Time for you to bring romanian to 100% 😛 It's 65%, nice work

[kindred remnant]

Yyeah, as I understood that was the reason it got overlooked, cause it's been at 11% for 3 years now, and all of a sudden it's up to 65% 😅

understandable.. I'll try to push for an early release, I kinda hoped this part would be included before I got to 100% so I can get an idea of the way I translated things and how they look in-game

oh and I need to wait for the diacritics to be included too 🙊

[shell vine]

Don't.

I hope they will be added, but I have no hope for the immediate future

[rancid terrace]

#bug-discussion message
Source string error or subtitle box error? So I know where to report it.

[shell vine]

That one should be reported in the localization bug forum

[shell vine]

Found it, it is a source string error.
https://crowdin.com/translate/deep-rock-galactic/77/en-drg#115190
I'll let you do the report, since you found it (if it is indeed a late join string)

[rancid terrace]

Yep, this seems to be were the wrong subtitle is coming from. I only need to report it on Crowdin right?

[shell vine]

Yeah

[rancid terrace]

Thanks for your help, it's been reported!

[shell vine]

Hello again,
Catalan has been opened for translation on crowdin, good luck with the translation.

[peak mantle]

Hi! Neat, thank you so much! :D

[eager nymph]

how does a language go from crowdin to the game itself? Does the language need to be translated almost fully or something?

[slim verge]

depends on the platform and on the devs

[vital marsh]

I think 60% was the minimum threshold to get into the game

[shell vine]

Once it is sufficiently translated, it will be added to the build rotation (if quality checks are passed).
From there, translations are added to the game when the devs update the game, on their schedule.

[wheat wraith]

Fellas, share your Totally AXE-ceptable translations! I wanna hear some creative ones

[kindred remnant]

A word for axe is "Secure" in Romanian so I put "Total SECURE-izat!" Which means totally secured also.

[eager nymph]

Okay

[trim lichen]

Hello there. I'm new to the server and to the community overall and I would like to help translate the game to portuguese, mostly brazilian portuguese. In order to start, do i just get in crowdin and start translating and do I need to do something before?

[chilly orbit]

Nothing else needed, except accept our welcome and thanks for helping ! o/
If you want more details on the thinking process behind the translation of your language, know where to start or what is there to do, you could contact @dry cradle
Nice guy, but still hasn't complied to be renamed bridge >.>

[dry cradle]

@somber gulch is the guy for brazillian portuguese @trim lichen

@chilly orbit just so you know too lol

[slim verge]

poor Poker

[trim lichen]

ty for the help!

[slim verge]

pinged every time even though he's not the one

[trim lichen]

okie ty

[chilly orbit]

Oh sorry poker, since you have the pt-br role, I figured out you helped in that language too :(

Rename yourself to Bridge anyway

[trim lichen]

both portuguese are similar in the end of the day

[dry cradle]

because theres no pt-eu role ||bc im mainly the only one pt-eu translator ||

[dry cradle]

NAY

[dry cradle]

not as similar id say

[trim lichen]

f

[dry cradle]

but got their similarities, sure lol

[trim lichen]

I mean, I can *kinda) understand what a portuguese person is saying lol

anyways, ty for the help guys!

[somber gulch]

Welcome to the team! Feel free to go into crowdin and start translating. Although PT-BR is 100% translated, we always need votes and tweaks to old and new translations to make it more consistent

[trim lichen]

Nice

[burnt basin]

welcome! always nice to have more people

[trim lichen]

🙂

[wheat wraith]

, Miner!

[wheat wraith]

Thank you, Crowdin, very useful

[vital marsh]

Yeah, those warnings can be really unhelpful sometimes

[sage tangle]

Maybe crowdin picked up your mic while translating. Heard you mutter "... karl..." and wants you to translate it shouting KARL

[dry cradle]

Crowdin smart, crowdin veri rocknstoen

[trim lichen]

Crowndin big brain

[trim lichen]

´guys Im a bit confused, there's a "English" language in crowdin. Isn't the game already in english?

or is it like, american english?

[eager nymph]

What is the diffrence tho? No ''u'' in armor?

[trim lichen]

I have no clue lol

[vital marsh]

English is just the source language

There are no separate translations for Traditional and Simplified English

[trim lichen]

got it thanks

[broken path]

@frozen inlet
may @trim lichen please have the pt-br translator role, so that we may coordinate?

Translations

[mortal rivet]

Did some of my first translations today! Swedish seemed to need quite a few, even though Coffee Stain is a Swedish company 😅

[vital marsh]

Coffee Stain is the publisher. The developers are Ghost Ship Games, a Danish company.

[shell vine]

And Danish needs some translatin' too ;)

[vital marsh]

True

[sage tangle]

https://tenor.com/view/alf-who-doesnt-who-does-not-gif-26129817

9 languages for the moment.
(Proofreading is another matter ;)

[dry cradle]

O hey look im there, hi ma :>

[shell vine]

I though you were not pt-br ?

[dry cradle]

Yes, i am not

I think i just now ubderstand your comment lol

[shell vine]

Back to work !
||\j||

[dry cradle]

I thought you were talking about languages that still need translating

[dry cradle]

Sorry, i do not speak gsg

||/s||

[sage tangle]

https://tenor.com/view/back-to-work-gif-18382095

[wheat wraith]

Yes, it would be nice if all our proofreaders weren't away

[wheat wraith]

Honestly I wish that this whole term translation consistency checker would not be something that's done automatically, which sometimes makes it think stuff like that Karl ≠ Karl from earlier, or not understand that the word "well" has more than one meaning, but instead for example a proofreader could mark specific terms to be either not to be translated, or to be translated to a specific term

[burnt basin]

i know how you feel

[bright raft]

Testing

Huh, something happened to my roles

I guess because I haven't been active in the discord

[burnt basin]

can a <@&296918282403840000> please give @bright raft the pt-br translator role :)

[bright raft]

Oh yeah, forgot about that!

[burnt basin]

i think they removed it from some inactive people

[bright raft]

Yeah, I have the discord server muted and tend to forget it exists

[burnt basin]

you should have the role now!!

thank you mods

[burnt basin]

is the patch notes files freezing the browser tab for anyone else?

every time i open it, it just starts lagging and freezes

[shell vine]

It can happen, crowdin is not built with such large strings in mind, so they really make a number on it.

[vital marsh]

I manually muted most channels, except for a handful (including my language's channel); I can recommend it

[vital marsh]

What's weird is that it didn't use to happen

It started around season 03

Unless it's just the longest patch notes we have yet and older ones just passed the performance check

[shell vine]

Can be, or it has trouble because the patch note folder is now too heavy...

Pour they updated the code for the site, and it doesn't work as well. Lots of possibilities

[burnt basin]

ah, well, makes sense

glad i'm not the only one then

[bright raft]

I might do that, I think I'll just unmute stuff like announcements and the translation channels

Thanks for the suggestion mate

[chilly orbit]

I disagree.
I had slowings in the patch notes section prior to 1.0

Slowings and freezing

[burnt basin]

that's really annoying

[vital marsh]

I believe you. That must've just been my experience.

[queen herald]

Hello, I want to translate game to Georgian, who I need to contact about it?

[sage tangle]

However in serious: That language needs to be added to crowdin first, then you can just start away

[queen herald]

And who I need to ask to add Georgian?

I’m planning to creating team for Georgian translation, but it’s not even added

[small kernel]

@shell horizon Hey, can you please add Georgian language?

[charred blaze]

The German translation has some grammatical mistakes with a few of the mission control lines

[shell vine]

Please report those in the #1062710911367925780 forum please 🙂

[charred blaze]

I don't wanna look for them again

[shell vine]

From what I remember (I might be a bit off on the number), mission control has about a thousand different lines. Without any more info, it is not even worth it to look for those.

[sage tangle]

Thanks for reporting. There's 750+ Mission control lines, which is it? 🙂
Screenshot is also fine

[sick trench]

how can i apply to be a translator?

[sage tangle]

extract is often sufficient if you have words that 100% appear in the affected line, as the search is quite good

[sage tangle]

Close. at least 750+ at the moment, if you filter for /MissionControl/ which I hope shows them all 😄

[vital marsh]

Just hop on Crowdin and start translating. Also, tell us which language you want to translate so that we can hook you up with the others.

[sick trench]

already started, im doing Turkish

[chilly orbit]

There's no turkish translator role afaik, but if you have any question about the translation, consistency, or anything related to Turkish, the person you'll want to contact is @small kernel

[shell vine]

I know they are not all referenced under that context, so I expect more than the base 750

[strange thistle]

Is there a way to transfer steam codes to ps4? I would like to redeem the codes given to me through the tier system on console, but they are steam related 🥸 👉 👈

[shell vine]

Answer the message you received on crowdin, it's a direct link to the dev in charge.

[strange thistle]

well, it's been two-three weeks, i dont expect them to answer me that quickly though 😬

[shell vine]

You answered that message two weeks ago already ?

[strange thistle]

yes

[shell vine]

I'll try poking in the background

[strange thistle]

thank you azerty

[queen herald]

Still no info about Georgian? It’s hard to add?

[small kernel]

@queen herald I've asked @shell horizon to add it but I think he's busy, he'll soon take care of it

[queen herald]

I guess I have to wait and practice more. Thanks

[shell vine]

It's more that getting the time to do it is hard. The devs are notoriously overburdened, and since they refuse (thankfully) to crunch, some non vital things can take time.

[queen herald]

Forgot to ask, how you get tier rewards, like code? And can I gift it to someone?

[slim verge]

you get them once you've translated enough and the devs took contact with you for them

and as far as I'm aware, you're free to do whatever you want with them (except selling them of course, if you needed to be reminded of that)

[queen herald]

Thanks, truly best community I have been

[sage tangle]

Half right, using or gifting them is fine, selling them gets you and the keys blocked and kicked and banned and stuff

[slim verge]

yeah, obviously

selling them is a no-no

I expect people to know that already

it's against literally every platform rules and it's illegal pretty much everywhere if you're not a specialised store

[boreal quest]

Absolutely, yes.
The kiddy sandbox is a few channels up. You should get acquainted with it.

Languages can be rather complex at times

Just remembered about a very small detail on a small word and had to change 3 strings because of it

[leaden sapphire]

At least you did. Sometimes consistency changes are never done, and they can be misleading for players. So well done!

[honest sun]

In such casess should be loyal community of players. Mine sometimes pointing out to old issues which were hidden in days of grey past of beginning this journey

[leaden sapphire]

Yeah, I think this happens in every language, especially when the initial translators are not here anymore or when a change was forced by circumstances of the language at a later stage.

[burnt basin]

we're constantly finding and fixing inconsistencies in the pt-br translation, usually old strings translated by the initial translators

[sage tangle]

When you go long enough, at one point you'll find inconsistencies in the translations the old you did. Dumb old you.

[burnt basin]

true!!! happens more than i would like to admit

[leaden sapphire]

We are not perfect after all 🙂

Already found the crowdin page

We are always happy to get help on the translation effort, feel free to hop on crowdin (link in the pinned messages) and give it a try

[rain lichen]

Alright,will do

Quick question though, I saw some text and release notes from Christmas 2022. To me it seems like those are not going to get used again. Do they still have to be translated?

[slim verge]

They don't have to but it would nice since they're still accessible

it's low priority though

[sage tangle]

imo no. Nobody is gonna read patchnotes in <language> that are older than 2 patch notes in the past

Everything else including proofreading is higher prio than old patchnotes

[rancid terrace]

Hi, although it's been a while since my last translating round, I am also translating to Dutch. It seems that all previous Dutch translators are inactive, so I am very happy with some support. I am not that experienced myself but feel free to ask me questions/ notify me of mistakes I made.

[young ferry]

one thing in the German translation irks me: the Translation "Minenkumpel" from Mighty Miners. as Kumpel is already another word for Bergmann, as in mine worker, a much nicer name would be something like "Kolossale Kumpel" if you want to go for the aliteration or just "Mächtige Kumpel" when you want to go more literal

[gray arrow]

Yup

Just sent an email to coffee stain

[mellow topaz]

for what?

[dry cradle]

yea, you dont need to send emails to translate anything lol

[mellow topaz]

the FI translation definitely needs some new blood, I haven't been nearly as active recently as I should have

[gray arrow]

About possibly getting a job, @slim verge told me about it and gonna give it a shot

If it doesnt work no prob then just gonna do community work

[dry cradle]

plus, i dont think it should be coffee stain you should be emailing lol

[slim verge]

that's correct

I'll quote it directly from Crowdin :

Q: What if I want to get paid?
A: Then you'll have to have a professional setup and get in contact with our publisher, Coffee Stain Publishing. We'll have a much higher requirement here and you'll be competing for a spot with other professional translators.

[dry cradle]

ok yea its coffee stain

im just stupid lol

[mellow topaz]

does GSG actually use any professional translators for DRG?

I thought it's all volunteer work

[slim verge]

they did before 1.0 to check on community work

[dry cradle]

guess we get to see lol

[slim verge]

so it's not unprecedented

for chinese and once for japanese due to other reasons

that too

Its 11pm here so very late since i have school tomorrow, ill get started on translating tomorrow. Thanks again guys for the help

I would apply for it, but my chronic online-ness has seriously deteriorated my grasp on the Finnish language
or at least more advanced Finnish, anyway

[gray arrow]

Joo en mäkä kyl mikää ammattilaine o

[mellow topaz]

it's why I haven't translated much recently to begin with; I just feel that my translation work isn't good enough

[chilly orbit]

have a good night light :)

[slim verge]

you get better by working with it after all

@shell horizon Can you give fi-translators to @gray arrow?

[boreal quest]

If you have people to work with it gets so much better. You have someone to question you, and that is so nice.

[slim verge]

you can ping moderators for that instead
would be better actually

[mellow topaz]

first time I've been told that

[dry cradle]

plus, alex is offline lol

[slim verge]

true

[slim verge]

no worries, just informing you

[dry cradle]

<@&296918282403840000> pretty please?

[mellow topaz]

both mods are also on Do Not Disturb

[slim verge]

don't worry about that

[frozen inlet]

[swift pilot]

Damn

[shell vine]

Occasionally, the devs will hire professional translators. The reasons are either a need for a speedy translation to obey regulations (steam or sony have asked for this in the past), or to check the quality of submitted translations (almost all languages have some of those go over them from time to time, especially languages recently added, or with meteoritic progression).
Going through CS to apply for a professional status as translator also means that you might be hired for other CS/Embracer games

[gilded fjord]

/imagie

[vital marsh]

That's not a command I'm familiar with. Also, this is likely the wrong channel, unless you came to translate.

[mellow topaz]

If only anyone actually cared about Finnish translations

I've seen Finnish translations in only three types of games:

1. Games with volunteer translations, like DRG
2. Children's games
3. AAA PS exclusives

[young ferry]

in German "Waffenrahmen" is wrongly translated from Weapon Frame. in german you usually say "Waffengehäuse" which describes the thing holding the barrel connecting the stock etc

[chilly orbit]

@sage tangle

[short abyss]

I'm personally glad I know someone who knows about guns so I can get the proper words for things

[boreal quest]

Let's go Romania! 🇷🇴

Welcome back.

- Fixed a bug with the Romanian translations not getting updated

[kindred remnant]

Wooooo thank youu so much devs and everyone helping! Romanian is in and it went from 11% to 84%

[kindred remnant]

Since the old translators got cut from the credits and we have more space, is it possible to have our language next to our name in the credits?

So people know what language we worked on

[young ferry]

it really helps when you consult military manuals and legislation concerning military and weaponry. quite some military manuals are public domain, and they use the correct terms

[shell vine]

I'll work it in. Next update will not be before a while though

[shell vine]

Could you please provide me with the correct form of Romanian, as it should be as a list header (example : English : Name Surname, Name Surname) ?
As well as the translation for and many more... please

[kindred remnant]

Română: Family Name Given Name, Family Name Given Name
(The order can be changed, I appear as Given Name Family Name on purpose)

și mulți alții...

Hope that answers it

[shell vine]

It does. It will be added later on to the game, in a future update.

[kindred remnant]

Amazing! Also devs told me they are trying to add the RO special characters with season 4

[shell vine]

I am not going to modify the names. They will appear as they were submitted to the devs through crowdin

[slim verge]

no, I don't think I will
<@&296918282403840000>

[native token]

that was a sneaky one

they deleted the message after you pinged

[slim verge]

oh 😂
well congrats on catching it

[gray arrow]

Yo apolagies to everyone who helped me im going to go for a break for health reasons, im gonna return some day and get to translating. Take care

[vital marsh]

Take care dude, and get well soon

[chilly orbit]

This person already left, but there's something I want to point out: There's no need to apologize to someone who helped you.
People do that out of goodwill, and the simple action of helping is enough. They don't (or shouldn't) expect more than they've done.
Plus, taking care of one's health is more important than the translation of the game.

[small kernel]

Health comes first always, we're always here as a community. Take care and get well soon my friend

[old forum]

any way to check the translation progress on Crowdin? I've been absent for a soild month and wonder if there are any progress to the translation 😄

[slim verge]

upon entering the crowdin project, all languages are shown with their % of completion

[old forum]

thanks! I set my bookmark so that whenever I want to translate, it will just take me to the translate "terminal" straight away.

[wheat wraith]

bold of you to make grammatical errors in a language nerd lounge

is it bold of me to say bold of you to a moderator? probably

[dry cradle]

bold of you to bold a mod

[burnt basin]

bold

[vital marsh]

italic

[boreal quest]

You can say that the error was justified.

If you get that joke you get a cookie.

[dry cradle]

where is it

[dry cradle]

glyphs...

||g l y p h i d s . . .||

[burnt basin]

oh god

[shell vine]

Except discord doesn't do that. So your justification justification is not justified, nor justified.

[boreal quest]

I know not a lot of us play with controllers here, but I found a thing that might be of interest.

This screen is just an image, but it would be nice to get it translated.

[shell vine]

Is this in the game ?

[boreal quest]

It is hidden, unless you play with a controller, yes.

[shell vine]

Then #1079683089405591582 it is

[boreal quest]

Sneaky little bugger.

[boreal quest]

Will do in a moment.

[boreal quest]

At this point I cannot tell if this is because of me switching languages, or it is just not implemented. I would post this to #1079683089405591582 if I can confirm that the latter is the case.

[dry cradle]

i think this has already been reported, and iirc it was from switching languages

[boreal quest]

I agree.

[dry cradle]

i also agree.

spamming is indeed stupid.

[boreal quest]

They are real good people.

[dry cradle]

too slow to ping them lol

there goes the dunce

lol

[boreal quest]

Anyway, I got this from a session where I do not think I have switched languages. I will see what will happen with my next promotion.

[shell vine]

Definitely looks like the language switch bug, since it also works with the debug mode (it is a language switch, technically)

[vital marsh]

Does this screen even serve a purpose in the first place, when you can remap controls?

Maybe controller mappings used to be fixed and they forgot to remove this screen when they were made remappable, because it was so hidden

[boreal quest]

That is up for the devs to decide how useful they think that screen is. If you remap your controls the infographic does not change, so it could be a good reason to make it dynamic that changes with your bindings.

[shell vine]

Hello

You might want to talk to a <@&296918282403840000> about spamming

[white tartan]

do i have to apply to translate to romanian?

[shell vine]

No, the translation project is open to all, available on crowdin (see the pinned messages for the link).

You can also coordinate with @kindred remnant and @shy pivot, as they are the currently (or anciently) active translators for Romanian

[kindred remnant]

Hello Alex! I'll DM you in a sec

[kindred remnant]

Delgado hasn't translated since 2020, but he can help with answering any questions I'm sure

[vital marsh]

This is fixed on the newest build

[boreal quest]

Excellent.

Shout out to that letter ő being the odd one out, as usual. 😁

[kindred remnant]

the "Loading..." can't be translated right? Could they add it to Crowdin? 👀

[shell vine]

I would advise you to add it to #1079683089405591582

(I never though about that screen, as I've seen it only once...)

[boreal quest]

Don't tell me that you already would have a translation for it that would be alliteration.

I think that is the charm of that slogan that many languages won't be able to reproduce.

[covert cobalt]

That loading screen is a .mp4 so it's not a simple one for them to implement a translation for

[lusty root]

oh goody goodness I haven't been here for a while, should probably check the ole site for a change and see where I can help

[kindred remnant]

what do you mean you've only seen it once?

it appears every time I boot up the game

[kindred remnant]

yeah "Se încarcă..." isn't so bad in RO

[slim verge]

most of the time, the game load so fast this screen doesn't even display.

[kindred remnant]

slight flex but I get it 👀

[slim verge]

no, not a flex, unless you're having a really weak computer, this does not show up most of the time

I would know, I used to play with 20fps on haz 4 during swarms but this still wouldn't show up

[kindred remnant]

i'll run a test right now, I got a 3070 👶

[slim verge]

don't think it's GPU being the issue

you would have to look at the RAM/CPU/disk rather

[kindred remnant]

oh now I didn't see it, there must be something that triggers it

for me at least

[slim verge]

a longer loading time is what's triggering it

as to what that may come from....

good luck

[kindred remnant]

i think the first time I start the game after booting up my pc I see that screen

if I restart the game after that I don't see it

anyway, if it's really an mp4 I don't see them localizing it

[slim verge]

sounds like a disk thing to me

first time around it loads the whole thing

second time around, the pre-load is already built-in, so it doesn't need to do it again

[long dawn]

Most loadings are moving assets/code from disk to RAM (or VRAM), so disk speed is definitely a consideration more than anything else for loading times

My game is on a hard disk and I see it everytime :^>

I also got a 965m gc

🥲

[proud yew]

[young ferry]

For german i would have some ideas
Dwarves would be Zwerge so it has to be an Aliteration with Z
Darkness could be translated as Zweifelhaft (not that good) Zwielicht (twilight) or "Zappenduster" which means Pitch black
Danger is hard but you might go for destruction aswell which would be "Zerstörerisch"

for it to have the right ring to it i would do the german translation as
Zerstörung - Zwielicht - Zwerge
cause it catches the essence and sounds nice, as the length of the words is quite fitting

[broken path]

hell, I've never seen it at all :D

[shell vine]

<@&296918282403840000>

[young ferry]

on the Crowdin instance, is it possible to trace what a line is for, apart from guessing by the string?
for example:

#: /Game/WeaponsNTools/DetPack/UPG_DetPack_C_DamageAndExplodeOnKill.UPG_DetPack_C_DamageAndExplodeOnKill.Name
,0E59A0C340A3031CDB9140ADD7D48696```
like could there be a model viewer or something else which clarifies what the string is actually used for?

[shell vine]

You can first use the context (what you copied here) to guess it's use, and you can then confirm it by using the debug code in the game to see if it matches on crowdin

[young ferry]

how do i debug ingame? is there a tutorial?

[shell vine]

pinned messages

[young ferry]

ah, ok im just dumb and thought there were none, im not that used to the discord ui

[shell vine]

No prob, don't worry

[mellow topaz]

DetPack = satchel charge, probably

DamageAndExplodeOnKill sounds like the tier 3 Volatile Compound upgrade

[small kernel]

@young ferry

[long dawn]

I just counted 25 seconds of the loading screen 🥲

I should really buy a new computer

[shell vine]

It's more relative to the disk the game is stored on : SSD, no loading screen ; HDD, loading screen.

[long dawn]

Yeah I know 🥲

[trail saffron]

Came here just to say that the Finnish translation is top notch, despite being unfinished

Inspired by it, I wanna try my hand at helping

[fresh wharf]

You can find the link to Crowdin in pinned messages, contact Finnish translators from the list and cooperate.

[trail saffron]

Already ahead of you

[fresh wharf]

Feel free to ask questions here, if you have any difficulty. Next patch won't be soon, so it might take a while before you can check your translations in-game.

[trail saffron]

I assume many of the currently unfinished strings will be fixed in that patch

[fresh wharf]

If it was added after the last pull, and it's present now on Crowdin, then yes it will be implemented via the next pull.

[trail saffron]

I haven't cross referenced any strings yet to check

[fresh wharf]

The context can tell you where to look, so it's your hint on how to better translate and phrase it. Sometimes it's better to do it shorter, sometimes you can keep as much details as you want and sometimes you need to come up with entirely your own wording.

[trail saffron]

Immediately stumbled upon this. Is this a known problem?

[fresh wharf]

What's exactly wrong here?

[trail saffron]

The numbers are being presented as an ID and they persist even though I toggled the string presentation off

[short abyss]

yes

just search in crowdin honestly

and figure out where it is through context

[trail saffron]

If I see an ID in-game, how do I search for it in crowdin?

[slim verge]

you type the ID in the search bar

[trail saffron]

What am I doing wrong?

[vital marsh]

Switch your language to DRG - test language

And search there

[trail saffron]

Ok, just searching with what the english string says brings me to the correct place. I can work with this

One more thing. The Finnish name for Steve is just adorable, I love it.

[shell vine]

For the debug ID cross reference search : you need to be in the DRG testing language and type the full ID (#XXXXX). If you are on a string with parts in parenthesis, those are variables, and should be included in the search (they are there so you know what secondary strings are called by the primary one)

[trail saffron]

@shell vine I noticed translation discrepancy with the word drop-pod. What's the place to discuss it?

[shell vine]

Here is fine

Just be sure to ping the other Finnish translators

[trail saffron]

Will do. I'll just finish this mission

[trail saffron]

@mellow topaz @slim verge Are all of the french French translators Finnish? Anyways, I noticed that the translation uses two variations of the word Drop Pod: Kuljetuskapseli and pudotuskapseli. Which one should be used?

[shell vine]

Oh the irony ! Pounce getting the randomest ping of all, because of a joke ^^
(No, none of the French translators are Finnish)

[slim verge]

lol

[trail saffron]

lol

[slim verge]

at least I'm aware of the joke so there's that

[trail saffron]

Have fun if someone does the same thing after me due to the pins

[slim verge]

🤣

[mellow topaz]

Kuljetuskapseli

Pudotuskapseli was an old translation I believe

[slim verge]

I blame @sage tangle

it's all your fault !

[mellow topaz]

We can give you the FI translator role for a private translator channel

[shell vine]

I could have understood if you had pinged @chilly orbit, since it's almost in the name ^^

Hey, silent feature works ^^, nice

[trail saffron]

I wanted to but I wanted to limit the casualties to a minimum

[trail saffron]

That might be nice

[mellow topaz]

I don't even know if I should ping a mod or Alex now
Y'all made me second guess myself

[trail saffron]

We considered the words with a friend and came to the same conclusion that pudotuskapseli is too direct of a translation and doesn't convey the meaning as well as kuljetuskapseli

[sage tangle]

https://tenor.com/view/titanic-old-lady-finally-its-been84years-rose-de-witt-bukater-gif-4713500

Since I wrote that joke down

[mellow topaz]

Yep
When the same word is translated in multiple ways, it's good practice to ask here

[mellow topaz]

While I didn't come up with the translation, I'm still second-hand proud of it

[chilly orbit]

Didn't got a ping sound, but still a mention, nice

[mellow topaz]

@shell horizon can you give Managor FI translator?

[chilly orbit]

Also, now Pounce the second fr translator who's been asked if he also translate finnish

[slim verge]

a mod

you don't need to ping Alex for roles 😛

(not that there's anything wrong with it though, just that he might be more busy)

[slim verge]

I keep accumulating ! Tester, translator for 2 languages, mod, dev

nothing's stopping my rise in power !
||/s||

[chilly orbit]

you forgot showoff :D

😎

[trail saffron]

Noticed the name on the announcement screens earlier today

[slim verge]

you mean the ingame board ?

[trail saffron]

Yeah https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/917066257180790796/1090549564949397534/image.png

[slim verge]

yeah the board is stuck on me, despite Cyrob being the new EOTM

[fading coral]

I lately took a brief look at the state of Polish translation and can’t help but notice it’s a bit all over the place

(Not to mention that nearly 21% of it is subject to be translated still)

I’m keen to contribute, as soon as I understand how Crowdin works, because that’s an upgrade over what I had been using for some other, past fan projects

[slim verge]

what were you using ?
you should get around it fairly quickly, it's fairly intuitive (but a bit laggy tho)

[fading coral]

I used Localize Direct and, believe it or not, Notepad/Notepad++

[slim verge]

oh yeah

[kindred remnant]

I just got Romanian to 100%. It's been fun. I hope players will enjoy it 🙏

[vital marsh]

Now you get to rest and test until the next push 😄

[shell vine]

You forgot the patch notes ^^

https://tenor.com/view/but-wait-theres-more-hold-up-excited-gif-23664732

[kindred remnant]

Hahahahaha no

Maybe after they remove like 10 of them

[mellow topaz]

@frozen inlet Managor needs FI translator

[vital marsh]

Good luck getting on PlayStation then 😭

[kindred remnant]

Wait wdym

[shell vine]

Sony requires almost 100% completion on the full projet to even consider authorising in the game.

[vital marsh]

Including patch notes.

[sage tangle]

I totally forgot that. Haven't we asked to remove those old ones for some time? Personally I don't see the need anymore

[slim verge]

they could be removed for sure

[vital marsh]

I think they're fine to have for historical purposes

[slim verge]

it would reduce the lag

[kindred remnant]

Welp, idc Sony I play on Steam xdd

[slim verge]

we have them on the wiki, isn't it enough ?

[sage tangle]

I would just have patchnotes for this and the last season up, and move the old on a web archive site

[vital marsh]

Okay, fair enough, but muh localisation

[kindred remnant]

For a company like Sony they should pay their translators anyway

Not giving them drg in Romanian 😤

[vital marsh]

They do pay their translators. DRG translators aren't Sony translators.

[kindred remnant]

If you're talking about us, we aren't DRG translators either xd

[vital marsh]

We are community translators

[slim verge]

we kinda are, the translation is just community made

there are some specific instances where professionals translators were used but I don't think it's even a recurring thing.

[shell vine]

We are the DRG translators.
Even though, in some specific instances, paid translators were used, their translations have always been left open to change and corrections from the community.

For example, for the initial PS release, translators were hired to push the Japanese localization over the last 20% because Sony requires a 100% Japanese version for any game published on the PS systems.
But that work was still left under the approval of the Japanese proofreader, the devs know and value the fact that the community translators are the true translators of DRG

[vital marsh]

Oh huh, I didn't know that!

I assume that's why Undertale randomly got a Japanese translation when it released on consoles, then.

I always wondered about that.

[shell vine]

Very probable

[mellow topaz]

Undertale was also massively popular in Japan, so it was probably not just because of Sony

[vital marsh]

Fair enough

[trail saffron]

It's a shame the ID isn't found in the metadata.

[shell vine]

It is something that we would like to have, but they currently don't have the work bandwidth to do it.

IDs are assigned through crowdin at the moment, so that's why it works through a dedicated language.

[young ferry]

could i get some feedback on this?

[trail saffron]

37 translation entries on the first day. Feels good.

[kindred remnant]

Anybody knows why CTRL+O doesn't work to show me the line ids?

I have a bug where this line doesnt appear, even though the variable on Crowdin looks fine. It only happens for the eggs mission

[vital marsh]

Is it only that string that doesn't show the ID or is the whole screenshot supposed to be showing the debug IDs?

[kindred remnant]

what I shared there is that the line "collect x alien eggs" doesn't show the "alien eggs" part

CTRL + O doesn't show any line ids to me

[vital marsh]

Do you have debugging mode turned on? It should be on the first page of settings IIRC

[kindred remnant]

Yess that was it. Thank you!

[vital marsh]

You're welcome!

[kindred remnant]

it appears like this with the debug, it has two (4) while all the others show one number... Idk what causes it exactly, but it's only in Romanian

[shell vine]

If it's only in Romanian, you should see on crowdin how the Romanian translation compares to languages that do not present the bug. If all languages are concerned, #1079683089405591582

[mellow topaz]

Has a single language benefited from the Miner's Manual bestiary splitting enemy names in two?

First the family and then the species
It just makes things a PITA

The entries should just be their own strings. That way changing them won't affect strings elsewhere.

Similar issue with the objective text using the same strings as the depository text

[kindred remnant]

I'm comparing RO to the others and I think it looks fine.. so idk what to do

[shell vine]

But are the other languages displaying the string correctly ?

[kindred remnant]

Yeah 🥹

You could check it yourself on crowdin, nothing looks out of place

I deleted the line and added it again just in case

[sage tangle]

Wasn't able to look it up, but there is no string for this in the first place no?

[vital marsh]

Yeah, I don't think it's great, either. We already have single-string full names for the above-head health bars, so why not just use those for the MM as well?

IIRC due to the Hungarian language's rules, all but one enemies use the species-family order, except the grunt, which is problematic in the Manual.

[mellow topaz]

Exactly

[small kernel]

@kindred remnant I checked the strings and fine. You should open report for this issue and explain what the problem is in the #1079683089405591582

[kindred remnant]

Thank youu will do

[young ferry]

i dont think so, but feedback would be apprciated nonetheless

[trail saffron]

@mellow topaz I was thinking of translating the plasma rifle upgrade "Hot feet" as "Tuli perseen alla". Could that work?

[mellow topaz]

What did the upgrade do again?

Also @frozen inlet pls, Managor needs FI translator

[trail saffron]

+Speed Boost During Overheat
The description being
"The burning hot gases motivate you to move faster while the weapon is overheated."
I couldn't think of any feet related idioms so that was the closest I came up with

[mellow topaz]

Levottomat jalat?

[trail saffron]

I'm thinking it needs to include a reference to something hot

[sharp copper]

kuumilla hiilillä / hiostava kiire / tulenpalava kiire / asfaltti polttaa

[trail saffron]

Nice

[sharp dagger]

Actually I like that suggestion. I changed all the translations from "Waffenrahmen" to "Waffengehäuse". Thank you!

[sharp dagger]

So if I read the conversation correctly it's about translating the three DRG keywords / slogan "Danger. Darkness. Dwarves.".

If that's the case then actually I'm not sure if we even should translate that slogan and/or if there is even a translatable string for that on Crowdin.

[shell vine]

I do believe this is a "Do not translate" case

[sharp dagger]

Agree.
