I was looking at the word Loading... more than those 3

[frozen inlet]

cool now even my inbox notifications arnt showing these =/

[shell vine]

Wasn't it you that hammered the idiot ?

[frozen inlet]

no, discords getting worse when it comes to reaching notifications

i got like 3 and they arnt even appearing in my notifications so i had to come to drg channel specifically and the "Scroll to bottom" button has never worked

[young ferry]

maybe "rüstungsrahmen" should also be translated as "Rüstung" or something, as you wont say "xyz rahmen" in german

[sharp dagger]

Good idea, I changed it for the DLC Popups.

[young ferry]

also i think "missionskontrolle" should be "Einsatzleitung" as its the more proper term i think

and i have to admit, i did learn that nemesis has a female article, cause i thought it would be "der nemesis" cause its "der roboter" but its female cause of the goddess nemesis

thanks for that

[kindred remnant]

Throwing a cheeky question out there: Should we expect a translations pull for this Easter event? 👀 or is it way too early for that

[shell vine]

It's too late for that ^^ It already went through last week

[mellow topaz]

is crowdin being really slow for anyone else

[slim verge]

always

[short abyss]

Really hate the word "Nitra"

It is an uncountable singular noun

And I am really struggling to find an uncountable singular noun in 🇸🇮

That ends with a

For some reference

[slim verge]

I mean : do you even have to translate it ?

[short abyss]

I won't translate it

But I need to know how to apply declension to it

[slim verge]

ah yeah, fair

[boreal quest]

It does not help that Nitra is a city for you guys.

[short abyss]

you're really killing me

[boreal quest]

I thought you knew.

[short abyss]

You're my neighbour and you cant tell between 🇸🇮 and 🇸🇰

[mellow topaz]

"huuli" means "lip" in Finnish
so it was pretty much translated to lip hoarder

[boreal quest]

Oh fuck, I am dumb, sorry.

[short abyss]

smh smh

[boreal quest]

aaaaaaaaaa

[short abyss]

your punishment is to be exploded sry

[boreal quest]

That was a big L on my part. Super sorry.

[short abyss]

kaboom

then again my username has had me confused to be 🇭🇷 , 🇵🇱 , 🇸🇰 and 🇷🇸

i am none of these

so, its fine

then again 🇭🇺 borders both

so it can be fogiven

mans need to squint to see the difference

just like the US State flags

where 20 of them have blue backdrop + some art in the middle

[boreal quest]

I will czech myself before I make a dumb statement.

[short abyss]

ok you're being exploded twice for the pun

[boreal quest]

Thank you.

me when i want to translate a video game and end up on a sociolinguistic topic about a single word

[wheat wraith]

Silly Frenchie, you do not have to suffer with the intricacies of declination!

[slim verge]

that's true !

[torn loom]

I'm sorry if this is the wrong channel, but is this supposed to be untranslated and kept in English?

[vital marsh]

No. Do they show the string ID in debug mode?

[torn loom]

I turned on debug mode but how would I see the string ID for these texts?

[vital marsh]

Press Ctrl + O

[torn loom]

Nevermind, here they are.

[vital marsh]

That's a bug, then. I'll report it. Thanks!

[frozen inlet]

👀 need to.. "barrow" a korean translator

ah dangit the only korean translator we have is... tater? >: /

this is korean right? the forum say korean so im going with that.

[stiff spindle]

Looks Korean...?

[shell vine]

We have two, check the pinned messages.

[frozen inlet]

ah ok i gave them both the roles

[kindred remnant]

Oh now that I see that, @sage tangle can you update the Romanian one that's pinned there? I'm the only active translator atm 🥹

We are at 100% gamefiles, 65% total

(Screw patchnotes)

[dry cradle]

While youre at it.....
||please separate ptbr and eupt 🥲||

[rancid terrace]

I don't think it can be edited anymore, as it probably counts as mass pinging and triggers a bot

[dry cradle]

True

[kindred remnant]

It could be edited without pings I guess

[boreal quest]

Editing does not trigger a ping.

That list has been edited before.

Or at least I hope so. But it would be Fakiyo doing it, so it would be an exception, I would assume.

[short abyss]

correct

[slim verge]

while Fakiyo is at it, he could update the whole list, like he said he would two years ago

[shell vine]

He did say several times that he tried, but it gets blocked for some reason.

[kindred remnant]

Anyone could make a new list, just copy that and replace what is outdated

No need to ping even

[shell vine]

Good idea, have fun ;)

[vital marsh]

This wasn't mentioned in the patch notes, but uplinks and fuel cells are now visible on the train scanner, which is neat

[dry cradle]

Uplinks were already visible, from what I remember

[vital marsh]

Really? My bad then

[dry cradle]

Idr about fuel cells tho

[vital marsh]

Maybe new model then? Idk

Feels new

[vivid nexus]

Were cleaning pods? I noticed they light up now

[trail saffron]

Is the fuel cell line transferring liquid or electricity?

[dry cradle]

wrong channel to ask

[trail saffron]

It is not. My translation depends on what is being transferred.

[shell vine]

It should be electricity, but nothing in the game confirms it.

[trail saffron]

I'll go with that

[vital marsh]

Huh, I always assumed it was liquid, but now that I think about it, it makes more sense for a battery to die than liquid fuel to evaporate.

I just never heard of electricity being referred to as fuel; not even in the context of electric cars and the like.

[sharp dagger]

Below is the answer I posted in our German translator channel regarding the following question:

Question:

why actually charge and not refuel?

Answer:

Because it is a fuel cell. It uses hydrogen to generate electricity. However, a fuel cell is not used for refueling (despite the name).

So when Mission Control talks about "Fuel Cell", we currently assume that some kind of fuel (hydrogen) is used to charge the Drop Pod via electricity. Like roadside assistance the 12V battery in a broken down vehicle.

Therefore, we are talking about charging (hydrogen > fuel cell > electricity), rather than refueling (hydrogen > pump > drop pod).

If only fuel would be transferred, there would be no need for a fuel cell, only a fuel tank with pump.

Therefore, according to our current interpretation, rather the English original is somewhat questionable with the choice of terms.

So the current understanding for the German translation is, that electricity gets transferred not fuel and that "fuel line" is a bit misleading in this case.

[vital marsh]

Yeah, that makes more sense. Thanks for your input!

[sharp dagger]

Sure.

[verbal snow]

i dont know if its the right channel but my union badge on discord is still showing cave crawlers instead of mighty miners

[dry cradle]

This is the wrong channel. You want to go to #bug-discussion instead

[verbal snow]

ok, thanks

[young ferry]

leave it to the germans to be overly specific 😆

[dry gust]

i want to become translator but bot shows that im not eligible for role of my language, what should i do to become one

[dry cradle]

those roles apparently only apply to community translators. but you dont need that role to be a translator. you just need to go on crowdin, create an account if you havent already, and start translating

what language are you gonna work with btw?

[dry gust]

polish

[dry cradle]

@heady ermine @tawdry creek @wild jungle new miner joining your team

[muted valley]

finally translated that in polish somebody would check on that

[kindred remnant]

have they ever fixed a language's bug when the diacritics are a different font than the rest? Should I report it for RO?

[vital marsh]

If you mean the missing characters in the font, it's already been reported

[kindred remnant]

nnnnot that

languages with diacritics will understand

ț Ț are usually a different font and size

[vital marsh]

Yeah, that's because they're missing from the font

But there's already a thread about missing characters in Romanian

[sharp oriole]

hi

[small kernel]

@sharp oriole Hey, how can we help you?

[kindred remnant]

I'd say it's a different issue, but oh well

[sharp oriole]

I joined cave crawlers. But after i pressed join it was stuck in a loading screen.

[rancid terrace]

This channel is for the translation of the game.

There's a pinned message in #drg-chat from Ser Pounce that gives some possible solutions.

[kindred remnant]

🇷🇴 Happy to announce I've translated the rest of the patch notes as well! Romanian is at 100%. Feel free to remove the "WIP" tag for Romanian in-game. And announce it to be pulled in Steam & Consoles if possible~

[small kernel]

Wow you are fast, good work miner

[slim verge]

Congrats !!

[wise knot]

Hello, I wish to make some suggestions for the Romanian translation of the game as I've noticed there are some errors, how can I get started?

[shell vine]

Hello, just head over to crowdin (link in the pinned messages) and you can submit translations.

You can also contact @kindred remnant to coordinate with him, since he is our main Romanian translator at this time.

[wise knot]

Okay, thank you for the response!

[kindred remnant]

Hellow! What we have in-game now is an unfinished version of our translation. You can DM me the line to see if it's been corrected already in the meantime or not!

oh thank you for the community translator role guys 🥹

[wise knot]

Da desigur, ticluiesc un document cu chestii care nu sunt traduse, sau care aș dori să fie traduse diferit.

[kindred remnant]

Let's DM, we should keep this chat in English 😄

[wise knot]

Okay.

[wise knot]

I'll (hopefully) send something when I am done.

[heady ermine]

I haven't been working on this project for a long while now. It surpassed community translation level.

[cinder oriole]

Hi! Why are there no Ukrainian subtitles on PlayStation consoles? I see that there are Ukrainian subtitles on Xbox and Steam

[gray arrow]

#babelfish-lounge message

[honest sun]

@cinder orioleXbox more agile than PS. I think we need to wait, or make #чемнийекспрес with asking. As far I understand, money is not a problem here.
Am i right, @shell vine ? Maybe you can tell us : who might be able to decide about forcing Ukrainian on PS (We have separate store, region, console localisation already) and which steps need to be done from translators side?

[shell vine]

From our side, nothing. The decisions about that is not tied to a money problem, but more to a workload problem. It will probably have to wait until they do another round of localizations on PS though.

[rigid zephyr]

I was fascinated to find out that the Polish translation is not yet complete, is there still room to contribute?

[dry cradle]

there's always room

you just have to create a crowdin account and start

[kindred remnant]

this should be localized

[shell vine]

You have #1079683089405591582 for that

[kindred remnant]

Good call. Btw, do we have any hints that there'll be a translation pull with season 4, or with a future patch? I don't remember if I asked that already

[shell vine]

There are translation pulls with every patch.

[kindred remnant]

Got PTSD since Romanian had a bug where the translations didn't get pulled in I guess, but they should be fine now

can't wait fixed so much stuff I wanna see in-game

[gray arrow]

This just makes it funnier, thank you for shortened message links discord 😂

[rigid zephyr]

notices that Polish translators couldn't decide what to name the Korlok Tyrant-Weed
I think I'll just go with the Community translator's version

[fading coral]

I can't really blame them - the name is hideous in actual translation to say the least.

[rigid zephyr]

I think it's more about the target language, Polish has a tendency of changing English nouns into adjectives and whatnot, it's a competition for who can come up with a cooler name at this point lol

[fading coral]

If it were up to me, I'd just call it Korlok tyraniczna jagoda and assume that whoever reads this gets at least a smidge of an idea that this is likely a plant name (in this case referring to IRL plant of Solanales order 'pokrzyk wilcza jagoda', which is 'Atropa belladonna' in English - Deadly nightshade. If you were to translate it directly from Polish, it would go somewhere along the lines of 'wolf banewort')

[rigid zephyr]

Were it up to me, judging by the lore and all other circumstances, I'd call it Korlok Tyraniczny Chwast. Again, it's not up to me to read the devs' intentions, unless they provided some insight

[fading coral]

And it would actually live up to its name, because Korlok is basically a banewort (only sentient and spewing acidic ichor)

[rigid zephyr]

Just think of dwarves who hate the thing, no wonder they call it a weed, not a plant

[fading coral]

They hate nature. I can't blame them.

[shell vine]

The devs won't ^^
I would recommend discussing a potential name change/update with the other translators though

[rigid zephyr]

No idea how to do it without a role though.

I don't have the access to that chat

[shell vine]

Pinned messages

[rigid zephyr]

I did what they asked of me, but Carl bot says I'm not eligible for that role

I hope it is not a feedback loop of not having the community translator role to gain access to the channel and not being able to get one for insufficient input

[shell vine]

I meant, contact the other translators for your languages. The list is in the pinned messages

[fading coral]

If it’s of some note, I was prone to start investigating the current state of Polish translation and contribute somewhat, given that there are quite a bit of inconsistencies in between the strings

[rigid zephyr]

That is, if they still reply. I'll give it a go then.

[rigid zephyr]

Proper names is a hell on earth right now, makes me doubt anyone proofreads this stuff, ever

You can see 3, sometimes more names for one type of enemy sometimes, same with event and mini-event objectives. I am certain people who were making those translations didn't even take their time to cross-check with other lines to check for consistency

[fading coral]

It’s quite possible they didn’t, not that they did anything wrong, but probably just lacked experience at the time (said the kettle, because I’m totally green in using Crowdin)

[rigid zephyr]

First time using it too, though I have some experience in translation itself as a 3rd year university student of English

Its not really about Crowdin, it's probably as easy as it gets in therm of joint effort translation online

[rigid zephyr]

I mention that because one of the first things they make you remember is to cross-check for consistency

I know it's a fan venture and all but we can make it better

[fading coral]

It’s definitely better than LocalizeDirect, I’ll tell you that much. Crowdin innovation-wise is still behind some state of art products like Trados Studio for instance, but honestly, for a ‘free’ software it’s decent enough to actually collaborate with different translators

Especially in community driven translation projects, such as DRG’s

[rigid zephyr]

Now that I look at it

You can also add missing capital names in proper names, that are capitalised in the English original to the list

There is just an absurd amount of refining to be done

[frank socket]

I'm not on the list in the pin, but cooperated some time ago with few of those who are. Not as much recently from lack of time, but I'm thinking about getting done what's left, a bit by bit. You can write me a message if you want. You can also try contacting Pantuternik and Infinity8, they were also active recently, I think.

[vital marsh]

It's the translation platform we use for the game. The link is in the pinned messages

[pulsar nebula]

thank you!!111

[tired dove]

Hey, I'm a Norwegian translator, and have translated a considerable number of words on Crowdin, but I've noticed that Norwegian isn't included in the language selector (while Danish, Swedish and Finish are). Is there any reason for this, and is there something I can do get them approved, or added into the game?

[shell vine]

There has been some trouble with the building of languages into the game for quite a while now, meaning that some languages that should not be included are, and some that should are not.
The devs are aware of it, but it is a somewhat priority issue for the moment.
Only thing you can do for the moment is to keep at it so that the translation is at it's best when it finally makes it in.

[tired dove]

Ah gotcha, that's totally understandable. Thanks for letting me know though, and I'll for sure keep translating until my language comes into the game :D

[wheat wraith]

New strings??

[shell vine]

No spoils in this channel, even masked, please

[wheat wraith]

Wh- why?

[shell vine]

Because public channel, and leakers

[wheat wraith]

Okay sure but this is publicly available, you can just open up crowdin and see all that easily

[shell vine]

And even though it is, crowdin "only" has 2k members, most of which are inactive.
We have about 500k people here...

[wheat wraith]

Well yes, but this is not general, this is a translators channel, if somebody goes here I think it's kind of a given that they don't care about being spoiled on stuff

[fading coral]

Do most people know they can find leaked stuff in here, though?

[wheat wraith]

Maybe not, but I did put it under a spoiler tag

[shell vine]

The problem (unfortunately) is not that people would stumble here and get spoiled, it is that some few repeat what they see here when they get spoiled into the other channels

[wheat wraith]

Is that my fault?

[fading coral]

But why risk it, still?

IMO this is a channel to discuss translations and related matters, not unreleased content which is contained within the files

[shell vine]

And the question then becomes not to prevent people from spoiling themselves, but to prevent them from spoiling others

[wheat wraith]

To be honest, what I was saying was not very translation related

So I'm fine with deleting that, but sometimes it might be needed to discuss such things for better reasons

[vital marsh]

Unfortunately, a lot of people don't know what this channel is for (be it because they don't get the channel name reference, can't read its description, or another reason), so they might just stumble into spoilers.

[shell vine]

No, it's the fault of the people that lack the basic common sense not to go and blabber on about unreleased stuff.
But not giving them stuff to go and blab about is a better policy to keep (don't feed the trolls and all that)

[wheat wraith]

Yeah, you're probably right

[wheat wraith]

Maybe we shouldn't have that ambiguous name, then, I mean sure there is TRANSLATIONS & WIKI right above it but someone not culturally versed might still get a little confused about this name ("babel? is that a religion channel? and what do fish have to do with it??")

[shell vine]

We do have some people ask about it from time to time, but most that are curious enough just read the description

[wheat wraith]

people with that level of intelligence probably wouldn't instantly click on a spoiler tag, though

[shell vine]

You'd be surprised

[long dawn]

Tbh I can't resist a spoiler tag, even when I know I 100% definitely will be spoiled by what it's hiding

I guess you are looking for me right? DM is replied. Sry I was being addicted to Destiny 2 for quite a while these days

Sry I dont actually check Discord msgs that often

[young ferry]

is there any way to see the gear tho? because a lot of times im unsure how to translate something
there are certain glyphids that are better translated when you see them

maybe add that for people who have a certain threshhold of approved Translations or similar

question about the beer: none of them get translated or localized, right?

also: creature names: i guess it would be beneficial to first set a precedent on how the name is translated for the other strings using said name, as to prerelase the names to find a fitting translation ahead of time

[shell vine]

Following your nickname, I'm going with the idea you are working on German, I invite you to contact @sharp dagger , as he is the current proofreader for the language and will be able to help on your questions.

[young ferry]

i contacted him, the question about the translation of beer names is universal tho

[shell vine]

It is more of a language by language question. For French, we have chosen not to translate them, as we consider those to be brand names.
Not sure how German does it

Haven't looked yet, but please remove the content of this string (no new content here, even spoilered)

I'll pass along the message and people will contact you if they have insight

It does look like some generic insult though, I don't see any meaning, but I could be wrong.

[dawn schooner]

yea i think it's just some sort of cursing words, just wondering what it exactly is

[dawn schooner]

understandable, removed

[dawn schooner]

where do i find people to ask about unreleased material? the devs?

[slim verge]

you can send me a DM about this specific string, maybe I'll be able to help you for context

[slim verge]

I'll ask them and see what we can share

Just give me a list of what you need in DMs

[shell vine]

Your language specific channel would be the best spot, as your proofreader should be able to help you

[shell horizon]

Any Romanian translator that can help me try out a fix for the ț not appearing capitalized?

[vital marsh]

Who was looking for this definition, again?

[fading coral]

That would be @dawn schooner

[kindred remnant]

Hey, I'm the only RO translator atm. I am not sure why this happens, maybe the font you're using in-game needs to have its capitalized version integrated. Should be Ț

Everywhere else it appears it either appears as a ? or it's capitalized but it uses a bit of a bigger font than the rest, making it look awkward.

like here

Let me know how I can be of help

[shell horizon]

Thanks, it's probably a mix of different issues. It likely happens in a couple of places because of the ToUpper function that capitalizes the strings doesn't handle special characters correctly all of the time.

For these 4 strings, could you try replacing the translation in Crowdin with all uppercase letters?

Then we can do a crowdin pull next week and check if that fixes it

[kindred remnant]

For sure!

Hope we wont miss any tho

[shell horizon]

Well, let's check if it fixes it, otherwise it won't make sense to change it in a lot of places at once

[kindred remnant]

Right, will get to it, thank you!

[kindred remnant]

Could this fix also the unsupported characters appearing as ?

[shell horizon]

I think that's more likely a missing fallback font

[kindred remnant]

That's the ugliest one by far, as it appears in very common places

[shell horizon]

Yeah, I've seen that bug as well

[dawn schooner]

that was I, tyvm

[kindred remnant]

I'll also fully capitalize this in Crowdin, let's hope it works 🥹

oh wait it is capitalized already

can someone help me? How do I find the line in Crowdin from the debug code in-game?

[shell vine]

Go to the testing language on crowdin, and type the full code in the search (with the # )

[kindred remnant]

merci!

[kindred remnant]

Just translated everything and I gotta say, a lot of "your efforts "our efforts" throughout these few lines 😅 gotta find a synonym to efforts at some point

[boreal quest]

A lot of your continued pain and suffering efforts. I don't see any issues with it.

[vital marsh]

Barely paid overtime

[shell vine]

Absolutely not paid overtime

[drowsy nova]

should this be missfortune and not unfortune?

never ever saw unfortune in any english class I had

[slim verge]

unfortune is correct

it's just archaic

[drowsy nova]

thx for edumacating me 😄

[rigid zephyr]

I can already smell an issue with world news in the Polish, but probably also all other Slavic translations. The issue is called declension. When we say, for example "X caught stealing nitra from Y", we won't use the basic, nominative case "nitra" but "nitry" in genitive case, "X złapany na gorącym uczynku podczas kradzieży NITRY od Y". The issue is that there's only one line to translate "Nitra", whereas we need like 3-4 to adapt to the {} variable. Do we just cope?

[long dawn]

Is there a way to reformulate without the genetive ? In Esperanto I had the same problem with accusative but I could avoid using a structure that required accusative without losing the meaning

[rigid zephyr]

That would require multiple lines with source: #. SourceLocation: /Game/Game/Text/News_WordLists.News_WordLists.Minerals(6).Minerals for used cases and extra coding so it would take {MineralG} for mineral in genitive instead of {Mineral} that is nominative

The issue is that it's really hard/impossible to translate those headlines for news without making them sound bad but having all of those in nominative

[slim verge]

I don't think there's a solution, sadly. It just ends up being impossible to translate in some languages I guess.

Well, the solution would be redoing the whole system.

[rigid zephyr]

Not really redoing, no

But I guess I know nothing about the code about this

[slim verge]

Me neither

that's not really up to us. All we can do is bring it up to the devs.

[rigid zephyr]

Just add those 3 extra strings for every language that needs it so that we can define the nouns in specific cases and then compile them into variables such as {MineralA} for accusative, {MineralG} for genitive etc.

I think factions don't need that since we don't decline proper names for companies of foreign origin (or we can at least get away with not doing so).

[rigid zephyr]

If we can, then can we do it? 😇

[slim verge]

we sure can

[rigid zephyr]

Would that go to #1079683089405591582 or?..

[slim verge]

I suppose it would fit in there

[shell vine]

Chinese tr temp thread

[fresh wharf]

Any particular reason?

If you're referring to the guy from #drg-chat, I was there and I'd answer if he wasn't just trolling. Other than that, machine translators are more than enough for not complicated stuff, which you don't expect to see from just anyone. Moreover, that's not the purpose of this channel either.

[lunar plume]

Is there anyone accepting the Dutch translations? I noticed that very little are actually accepted :v

I saw @autumn musk accepted one last month

[shell vine]

I think we have a single proofreader for Dutch, though I don't know how active they are.

You don't need them to be approved for them to make it into the game though

[lunar plume]

o

That's good, probably still good to actually accept them so you don't have to recheck a bunch though

[lunar plume]

Didn't think this was the case since the steam store still says Dutch is not supported. But ig that's maybe updated via a different method

[shell vine]

Some languages are not officially supported, but they still make it to the game (although that also has some bugs in need of a fix...)

[lunar plume]

Yeeee saw some

But aight that's better than them not being there 👍

[young ferry]

i kinda got no answer to the this question yet, i would love one tho 😄 im guessing @sharp dagger is currently at the mediterranean sea or something

[autumn musk]

I only accept translations that I feel are voted to accept obviously incorrect translations.

[shell vine]

Which part of the question ?

[autumn musk]

Since accepting a translation basically locks it down, preventing improvement.

[lunar plume]

Okay

Buuut 😅

[young ferry]

mainly creature names and also about extra context for translation

[shell vine]

Well, you can use the experimental build now to see those in the game ^^

[kindred remnant]

Gimme this build 😩

[kindred remnant]

oh thank you so much 🥹

[kindred remnant]

Do all drg translators get to test Survivor by default?👀

[vital marsh]

That would be great

But as it was stated before, whether Survivor will even support translations is up to its developers, which isn't GSG

Ngl I would love to see some more of Survivor soon, though

I've never played a survivorlike before, but the DRG theme might win me over

[shell vine]

Not translators(yet), only testers

[broken path]

• Updated the credit list to include new community translators

GSG has gotta split up those patch notes, they make crowdin freeze

[covert cobalt]

This is some misclick on some share thing for sure

[frozen inlet]

gross.

[mortal arrow]

OK, had anyone tryed translating "Randoweisser" on other languages, especially non-latin based ones? I have found myself suffering quite a while, before I gave up and combined words "random" and "light"(as for beer) in my language. How are Yours` attempts?

[shell vine]

Please keep experimental discussion in the dedicated channels. I would suggest pinging your local proofreader there and discussing it with them.

[fading coral]

I’m not a translator, but the first thing I would try to figure out is what is the style of that beer.

Is this a weissbier or a Berliner weisse. Is it some other style entirely?

[shell vine]

Please use the exp channel to discuss exp content.

[fading coral]

I’m giving general advice for naming translating beer names in this game - where is the issue with that?

[shell vine]

Secondly, translation policies depend on languages, so having the proofreader or a veteran of the terget language is better.

[shell vine]

Most languages do not translate them, using the names as brands, for example

[fading coral]

Polish does translate them, the last time I looked. It’s not pretty to say the least

[shell vine]

Then that is a discussion to bring up with @rigid zephyr or @wheat wraith .

[fading coral]

I will, thank you, just not now - I don’t have the resources to get down to actually revisiting the translation

[rigid zephyr]

Polish translation has a lot of missed translations and it's been like that way before some of us came here

Trying fix that would mean just starting from square one

[fading coral]

That’s the course of action I’m most afraid of, but I’m not terribly dissuaded, just drained of productive time at the moment, so to undertake it and hold some thoughtful discussions with associated translators

[rigid zephyr]

The associated translators are long gone, mostly

[shell vine]

That just means it is now you

[rigid zephyr]

For now I am busy till July, sadly

[frank socket]

Well I'm also here, not doing that much, just when i find some time to do so. You can ping me too btw when talking about Polish translation, not doing much translation but i can try answering questions or help with some stuff if needed

[shell vine]

Sorry, the pin is outdated, so I went by memory 😅

[slim verge]

I would love to try to update the pin but it's a load of work and I know for sure I will not be able to get everyone on the list, unless I was able to ping every translator role for a round up.

And since this is not happening, I'm not sure it's worth the bother.

[shell vine]

You won't be able to, the bot bans on sight for mass ping.
We need a dev to do it.

[slim verge]

I know

this is why I'm saying it's not happening 😄

[frank socket]

Yeah, a bit tedious, cause the people on the list might not be active to answer when needed. I suppose we wont have a refresh soon...

[slim verge]

if the devs do it, it also means they are the ones who have to keep the list updated

so definitely not ideal at all

[kindred remnant]

Maybe just take those messages off the pinned section for now

[kindred remnant]

uf I'm considering removing the Ă ă diacritics wherever they create the ? effect, and replacing them with a simple A a.
It's not the best but it will be readable at least... I have some very ugly instances that can't be comprehended

Ș ș is affected too..

[rigid zephyr]

I see the curse of custom font that only applies to a specific set of characters that exclude those specific to the English keyboard or something like that. In Polish at least they are not question marks, they instead appear in default font that just makes words look ugly as hell, still legible though. So it looks kinda like "WSTRZąS"

It's weird that the default font doesn't have the Romanian special letters either

[boreal quest]

As far as I know, the localisation to other languages was not considered initially, so it is understandable that the devs went with a font that mostly has characters that focus on English.

[vital marsh]

I hope it will be possible to update the font in the future (or change to a similar one which includes the missing characters)

[light quest]

I hope I did not get this wrong: ... controlled by each client instead of host might be like this: if someone has streamer mode on, they are the only one whos gettin' their ambient music controlled by that option?

[vital marsh]

Sounds like it to me

[shell horizon]

Unreal has the option to make fallback fonts for specific character ranges. The trick is finding a font that has those extra characters AND looks close enough to the original font

[vital marsh]

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work well because the missing characters look pretty out of place

[shell horizon]

So, capitalizing it in Crowdin does seem to fix the instances where the letter isn't correctly capitalized. Still looks a bit out of place because of the different fonts used

[kindred remnant]

Yess, 2 out of 4 from the ones we looked at were fixed by doing this

I just did it to more lines and I'll see if those get fixed too

It looks so clean when all the letters are there I swear 😭

[shell horizon]

Yeah, it looks like it defaulted to Roboto. Tbh, that's the closest one to the original font I've seen so far, but if we find a better one we can try it

[shell horizon]

Yeah, it looks like two separate issues, one being specific characters not being upper-cased properly, and another with the fonts for specific character ranges not matching the original font completely

[vital marsh]

Is editing the included font out of the question? I can't speak for everyone, but I can say for sure that the letters my language (Hungarian) requires can be made by combining some of the already existing characters.

[shell horizon]

It's very unlikely we'll change the original fonts, but I'm looking at other solutions

[boreal quest]

I can get in touch with a person who does typography and can add the missing letter, if need be.

[kindred remnant]

I replaced the real ugly ones with A a, I'm waiting for the next pull to check them 🥲

But that doesn't work everywhere

[kindred remnant]

the exp branch got updated and ta daaa

i'll definitely keep them like this for now

better than this xd

[slim verge]

nice

[warped whale]

The font issue also exists on Korean, Japanese, and Chinese Forge terminals. Can we get it fixed too?

[kindred remnant]

this font seems to get Ă ă #notallfontsarecreatedequal

[flat belfry]

Hey, I'm a little lost. How can I help translating stuff?

[wheat wraith]

You go to crowdin, pick your language of choice and translate away

Hello! Sorry if I am asking in the wrong channel. What is the process to add Latvian language to crowdin, should I DM someone?

[slim verge]

Hello 👋
The process is simply asking and having the devs take a look at it.

Do you intend to work on the translation ? 🙂

[lavish carbon]

Yes I would like to try to translate it.

[slim verge]

I'll ask the devs

[lavish carbon]

Thank you!

[slim verge]

the commodore strings ? ^^

[broken path]

ayup

[kindred remnant]

they're here 🥳

although... old translations were taken for this, not the ones I revised

[shell vine]

Passed it along

[kindred remnant]

the steam page is still in english, as you predicted

and Romanian isn't one of the options on steam for the game.. probably should've pushed for that too

[shell vine]

That one is another matter entirely, as showing off a language on the steam page also means the devs have to ensure that all key art is translated as well.
Those are out of scope for changes currently.

[kindred remnant]

ooh didn't know the art part, got it

[kindred remnant]

no more pulls until release date?

[hardy kite]

Polish translations usually don't have sense

[shell vine]

Would you have examples?

[hardy kite]

Big boom bug

I forgot his name

[shell vine]

The glyphid bulk detonator?

[hardy kite]

Yes

His Polish translation doesn't have sense in polish nor when translated back to english

[shell vine]

@rigid zephyr @vague frost?

[rigid zephyr]

Im pretty sure I was the one to do it, feel free to propose a better translation. To me, it seemed like there was a few the things that couldn't be literally translated, so I looked for alternatives

Let me lay it here and now, I wasn't the one who came up with the polish name for bulk

And I only wrote the encyclopedia entry for it, other translations were made by others

You can see who's written what below the crowdin entry

Just as much as you are free to propose corrections. I agree that there can be terrible translations, it's just that we don't have enough dedication to mull everything over in search for corrections, nor do we play this game in Polish to spot them in game :p

[fading coral]

<@&296918282403840000>

Nevertheless, back to down-to-earth matters

[fading coral]

'Wybuszysko' is a funny name, although it does make sense to me. It's a hyperbole take on the name of regular exploders, so I would argue it is quite fitting.

What doesn't thoroughly make sense is how the Crassus Detonator was translated, because it is missing the link between the reference to the historical character of Marcus Licinius Crassus, but that's not to say that I don't agree with Nevbick that better alternatives can and should be suggested if available.

(i.e., I'm currently giving propositions to beer names and other stuff, but I will eventually make more of them to the rest of the glossary, and then actual in-game strings).

[hardy kite]

Żubr Tyskie Harnaś?

[fading coral]

There is one 'ful' ("Mocny Ful" might ring a bell to some enjoyers of "Świat Według Kiepskich" series) translation proposition that I've made

But no, I'm generally trying to avoid making references to IRL breweries/products. What is present in the game is the main context, and since DRG adapts actual beer styles in the names of beers on tap in Abyss Bar, it would be a waste not to creatively translate at least some of them.

[rigid zephyr]

Most of those glyphid names were translated like 3 years ago, with different people negotiating the names back then. Same for beer names and other stuff that should be left not translated. I think we could try to revisit and refresh them, but we would have to do it together, in one swing, so that leftovers of those translations are not left in a single string or two, unnoticed

There are a few names that refer to ancient Rome

The name Praetorian raises my brow the most because it seems as if it was sort of misused in source itself

I gave it a brief read and I dont think you use praetorian as a noun

[fading coral]

Come to think of, it would be the most optimal way to approach this matter

[vital marsh]

I believe that's an issue with all species names in the game. Names should be reversed, like in real life. For example, the glyphid praetorian should be the praetorian glyphid, just like how the ‘saber-toothed tiger’ isn't ‘tiger saber-tooth’.
We've inverted names in the Hungarian translation for this reason, which causes some minor issues in the Miner's Manual (since it insists on using combined strings for species instead of a single, full-name string like overhead names), but is overall a way more readable solution.

[rigid zephyr]

Well, for Polish we have an easy solution, noun "Pretorianin" which works perfectly fine, unlike in English, where a noun for Praetor's soldier doesn't exist in form of a single word noun. I guess reversing is another solution.

[kindred remnant]

someone here knows of an efficient way to filter these lines to only show all of the messages on this screen in the cabin? Some are motivational quotes, some are something else. I wanna make sure I corrected them all

[shell vine]

Find one, copy it's context, paste context in the search bar

[kindred remnant]

doing that doesnt show them all, they are duplicated, and some appear with one set of context lines and others with another

[vital marsh]

I believe the search term should be ConsoleScreen_MotivationalQuote

[kindred remnant]

even that, the motivational quote won't show some of them 😅

[vital marsh]

Oh

[kindred remnant]

one is motivationalquote, the other is this one

and some have 3 duplicates

I tried to search terms from all 3 so I hope I corrected all of them

The advanced search should allow you to use an or condition in the search

[lavish carbon]

Thank you!!!

[whole obsidian]

finished the last bunch of words left in richpresence and glossary for the arabic translation, now theyre both at 100%

[unique hawk]

Devs, translators team, or other responsible team. Why does some of the texts are left untranslated to Russian?

[shell vine]

Because the translations are done by volunteers, and they did not have the time to translate everything before the update went live.

[unique hawk]

Oh ok

[kindred remnant]

I wanna say Romanian doesn't have that issue, but I see there are some hardcoded lines we need to report

[worthy ibex]

How is the world today?

[dry cradle]

getting more and more infected by rockpox as of today

[whole obsidian]

steampages.csv is now also done!

also what happened to the guy previously translating arabic?

[broken path]

so... is there a particular reason the patchnotes aren't translated in-game?

[rigid zephyr]

mostly because translating patchnotes takes more time than actually writing them in their original language... 🥹 maybe, probably, quite likely.

unless you mean you guys translated them and you don't see it in game... in that case bravo to whoever put effort to that, jesus

[whole obsidian]

i can imagine how painful that is... i tried translating one and gave up

[rigid zephyr]

Doesn't help that crowdin dies when you open patchnotes tab

[wheat wraith]

"Don't have sense" is such an obviously Polish mistake, I'm sorry but it's hilarious to me
It's supposed to be "make sense" in English. You can't own sense.
As for the bulks, I think "wybuszysko" is a good translation, since even in lore these things are iirc exploders that have somehow survived long enough for their unstable bodies to turn into something much, much more dangerous, and the suffix "-ysko" usually suggests that something is huge and abominable, which the Detonators certainly are. And it is pretty funny, if I do say so myself.

[lone moth]

suffix "-ysko" is absolutely what Dwarves would use btw

[wheat wraith]

Yea people often don't even feel like translating even the miner's manual description, which by comparison are pretty short...

[wheat wraith]

Why's that?

[lone moth]

it sounds colloquial enough plus it sounds like something made up on the spot

and so it got adapted to the point where even MC uses that term

[wheat wraith]

Fair point

[lone moth]

i study eng-pol translation so my bread and butter essentially

[vital marsh]

Hungarian has all but 13 translated and it's only a matter of time 😈

[wheat wraith]

Time to raise your bar

[vital marsh]

But yeah, my strategy to doing them is don't do it all at once

[wheat wraith]

It seems it's trying to tell you

[vital marsh]

Also, use Notepad++'s split view to save your sanity

[wheat wraith]

Yeah, in general when I translate I try to focus on some specific things like "hmm, let me translate all of the lines for the Septic Spreader!"

[wheat wraith]

le what

[vital marsh]

Notepad++ is a text editor

It's like the built-in Notepad on Windows, but more powerful

[wheat wraith]

Yes, I know

But how do you use it for this

[wheat wraith]

Oh

[vital marsh]

Open 2 files, drag one tab down over the editing field, and click ‘Move to other view’

[wheat wraith]

You copy them in and them work using that

[vital marsh]

Also, this function is very useful

[wheat wraith]

And then copy-paste the complete text into crowdin

[vital marsh]

Yup

[lone moth]

Holy hell that's actually useful

[wheat wraith]

Clever

[lone moth]

For like
Actual translators

[long dawn]

Use gvim with split tab if you want ultimate performance

or just vim if you are on a superior OS

[wheat wraith]

what

are gvim and vim

[vital marsh]

Looking at Google Images, it just seems like another text editor

[long dawn]

Text editors where every key of the keyboard is a shortcut

like you have a normal mode with all the shortcuts

and an edit mode where you can type

and it's incredible

[wheat wraith]

it sounds absolutely insane

[long dawn]

once you learn it, it's an increadible tool to edit documents fast

[long dawn]

it kinda is but it's not that hard honestly

like you don't need to know 100% of the thing to use it

you can just know the basics to get around and them build up knowledge

I use it daily to code and it's incredible

I wouldn't change for the world

I could use 100% of the computer for the whole day without a mouse

everything from the keyboard

and gvim is just a graphical interface for vim

like instead of launching vim inside a terminal, in spawns a window in which there is vim

[wheat wraith]

also what is that superior os

[long dawn]

I was thinking about Linux-like OSs

operating systems

https://youtu.be/d8XtNXutVto < if you want to learn vim :^>

[wheat wraith]

maybe one day

[shell vine]

Also because the patch notes tab in-game is broken and has trouble pulling in translations

[broken path]

yes, that's what I'm talking about. I submitted fully translated patch notes yesterday afternoon, and then when I went to check them in-game today.... yeah

[broken path]

well, fuck, I'll know not to bother next time

[wheat wraith]

Well, they do tend to take some time to get into the game, I know that there was an update today but it might've been too late for them to get put in there or something (just theorizing)

[broken path]

no

I checked crowdin, the project was built after I submitted it

besides, it's not just the latest one that shows up untranslated, it's all of them

[wheat wraith]

Then it's probably what that evil keyboard said

What, that creation of the devil (who is obviously French) can mess up your google searches and make you call a blackout "qcute" and not acute

[lone moth]

"gówniak" is what we call children soo uhh no

"gnojak" perhaps, like the beetle?

[wheat wraith]

Rozsiewacz szamba/sepsy, for example

[lone moth]

but i think u guys are confusing the semantic meaning of Septic here
its meaning is not scatological but infectious

[wheat wraith]

That's kinda true, too

[lone moth]

But i understand where ur coming from since "septic tank" rolls off the tongue quite well

[wheat wraith]

but as I said, he can be "rozsiewacz sepsy"

[lone moth]

sounds quite alright

[wheat wraith]

You know @shell vine how about giving everyone who does even a bit of Polish translation work and asks for it that role so that it's easier to talk about translation in our specific channels

...zakażeń

[lone moth]

It would be cool if we could get some alliteration like in the original but no hope for that im afraid

unless we go with "siewca sepsy", but then its not really accurate

[shell vine]

Ask the mods, I don't have those perms

[wheat wraith]

Well... it's not bad, actually

[wheat wraith]

are you for goddamn real

I thought you... okay, I don't know what I was thinking

[lone moth]

nvm it turns out "sepsa" pertains to infections so it may be fine

[shell vine]

You called me evil, I don't ow you anything now 😛

[wheat wraith]

I mean you like do most of the management work here

I thought you could do stuff like that

[wheat wraith]

I regret nothing

[shell vine]

Nah, I manage crowdin, but discord is only mods and devs.

(except for the exp channels, testers have limited perms there)

[wheat wraith]

ehh

...is it that idiot again

No, this might be because of the way the glossary works. Ima look into that later

Yea, same thing happens with the new enemies...

[lone moth]

lito what now???

[mellow topaz]

I really don't like the syntax that the bestiary uses

it makes it impossible to translate them into Finnish

[vital marsh]

IKR

We already have single, full-name strings for overhead names. Why can't the Miner's Manual use those?

I get that the "{family} {species}" system was probably designed when English was the only language, but I think it's time for an overhaul

The list on the side uses species names only (so it can use the family name as a section title without repetition), then uses full names when you open a monster's page, so

Just make new, manual strings for the list, then use overhead names for the bestiary pages themselves

I guess, currently the only workaround would be to take the bestiary syntax string (41BA633C451ED5391F39519D5ED3D6DB), change the translation to just "{name}", then change all the strings it calls to full names

The only quirk there, I think, is that the bestiary list will have full names as well

So instead of being clean like

• Glyphid
• Grunt
• Slasher

it'll be

• Glyphid
• Glyphid Grunt
• Glyphid Slasher

But I might try implementing that and see what happens, actually

[obsidian nova]

My solution for zh-TW was just like that
Omitted the {family} part and leave the string translated as just {species}

[vital marsh]

Ah, your characters really do fit neatly on the side, huh 😅

The only issue with the idea, is some names already overlap with the pictures and adding family names would just make it worse

But I guess that's the price to pay for having the wording look good

[vapid robin]

first of all, I'm very happy that this channel exists. I appreciate the willingness to cooperate with the community.
here's the issue I'd like to adress:
in the accessibility settings, "Photosensitivity mode (WIP)" is translated to Russian as "Режим фотоцветокоррекции (В разработке)". The word "фотоцветокоррекция" does not exist and is extremely confusing to any Russian speaker, thus conveying absolutely no meaning. It must be changed to "Режим фоточувствительности (В разработке)".

[vital marsh]

I don't think there's a way to set systems

The only similar thing I know of is setting how thousands separators and decimal points are arranged and used

[bright prawn]

Guys are you hyped for the BUFF lootbug

[dry cradle]

buff lootbug?

[hushed fulcrum]

I'd swap "obrona" for "wytrzymałość" - seems more natural and fitting for showing stats of the alien, assuming english meaning is like how much armor does it have

[strange thistle]

For Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, does GSG already have translators from the other studios they are teaming up with, or will we be able to help them again through crowdin?

[vital marsh]

It would be nice if we could help out with Survivor, but like GSG said before, it's up to the devs

[wheat wraith]

<@&296918282403840000>

fun gi here

Also, while I have your attention, we have some people that translate in Polish on crowdin, but they don't have the pol-translator role, meaning their efforts often end up not meeting our standards, or just being very chaotic and differ from one another, such as one enemy having 3 different translations. Can you help out with that?

[buoyant dagger]

If you don't tell us who the people are how can we help by giving them the role

[wheat wraith]

Well, that's just the thing, I've messaged them on crowdin but they haven't responded yet. I can DM you later with their names on discord if they're willing to

[vital marsh]

I think that's probably something you need to talk about with them on Crowdin first. Crowdin DMs are a thing.

When I first started translating, I submitted a few contributions, then messaged a proofreader. He then redirected me here and we could start coordinating the work properly.

[shell vine]

If people are on crowdin, but not on discord, there is no real way to bring them here apart from using crowdin DMs, or opening a discussion (open chat) on crowdin.
Do invite them to come over.

And if they don't, and the translations are still hectic, we can apoint a proofreader to sort the mess up.

[wheat wraith]

That's what I did. I'm gonna wait till tomorrow for them to reply.
We should get some new proofreaders here anyway, the old ones are long inactive and that will definitely contribute to more order.
If you want suggestions, well, y'know... I generally tend to ask before making important contributions and I am active so uh...

Draco and Nevbick are also pretty good

[queen cradle]

I can help if need be.

[wheat wraith]

Did you do some stuff already?

[shell vine]

Sure, on what language ?

[queen cradle]

For Polish

I have a translated draft of the Septic spreader descryption but if you mean experience then no. So far I was only translating for fun and not for any project.

[shell vine]

Experience is not needed, all can help.
We do require that you try your best though, and accept criticism (constructive) from your fellow translators ^^

[wheat wraith]

No, I mean did you do some stuff on crowdin. if you did then @buoyant dagger we got a guy here

In general, if you did some things and aren't sure if you did it right, ask a mod to give you perm for your language's channel, this goes to everyone new

[queen cradle]

No, i thought of throwing that draft in there but i decided against it.

So, @buoyant dagger if you don't mind I would like the Pol-translator, please

[buoyant dagger]

I already gave it to you

[wheat wraith]

the channel should be below #1079683089405591582

[fading coral]

Hey, thanks for typing the message to me on Crowdin

Should I reply to you there? My nickname on Crowdin is identical to the one I have on DC

[wheat wraith]

No, it's fine here

As you can see, when Tater comes back they should give you the role

That's kinda the point of this, messaging people on crowdin is a pain

Almost as bad as messenger

[vital marsh]

I think it's okay

[copper saffron]

Hey, I saw discussion about polish translation. Can I get a role to join said channel about said translation? @buoyant dagger

[frank socket]

wrong channel btw, didn't pay attention

[shell vine]

Please remember that the glossary is editable by anyone as well, it's just a tool to help along the way, but how that tool is set up is left to the translators

[frank socket]

I was going to ask in our channel, what version we are going with, just a slight inconsistency

[fading coral]

On that note, is Tater the only mod who can grant this access/is delegated to these matters, or can any of the mods be asked to grant it?

[whole obsidian]

Also on that note, if y'all are giving translator roles, is there an AR channel?

[shell vine]

AR ?

[whole obsidian]

abic

Arabic

[shell vine]

I don't think we've ever gotten to that, since we never had more than a single a translator working on Arabic at a time...

[whole obsidian]

Yeah that's what I thought lol

[wheat wraith]

No, but they were the one who first responded

[mellow topaz]

can this text be made scrollable?

[shell vine]

=> #1079683089405591582

[mellow topaz]

thank you, I was wondering where the thread was

[shell vine]

three channels down from here

[queen cradle]

I could use a crossreference with other translations.
Should we translate the Septic Sprear by relating the word septic to waste disposal (like in the septic tank), or to sepsis like the medical term of the effect of the overreaction of the immune system?

[vital marsh]

I went with the latter

Although, truth be told, I didn't know about the former until it was pointed out to me after the fact

But I think the latter still fits better

[broken path]

if both together isn't an option, I'd opt for the latter

[wheat wraith]

I know it's a quick change of heart but uh... so how about that proofreader?
Only one person whom I've messaged actually replied, and sure it's weekend they might be inactive that's alright, but another person popped in, changed a translation that was already established so... yeah, having a proofreader would really help. I don't care if it's me or anyone else, as long as they're gonna be active in the foreseeable future and discuss important translations with others, like how we do in our channel.
We can't have everyone being on the #polish-drg channel, it's just not gonna happen especially if someone pops in for 5 translations and then disappears completely.
So where do we begin?

[shell vine]

During the week

And I want to discuss some points with the devs first, to futur proof this general matter

So, next week

[wheat wraith]

Okay, I'll be waiting til then

Also, stole your joke

[broken path]

can't wait to see the results of that

[serene jungle]

One thing I noticed in the polish translation:
In the Arcade Machine (the flappy bird knock-off one) the "High Score" is translated to "Wysoki Wynik"
This is a literal translation, but should be instead translated to "Rekord" or "Najwyższy wynik"

[frank socket]

I'll check the "High Score" lines, but honestly a lot of text is pending some kind of review with the new update coming out and new people translating

[vapid portal]

Do you know if there are any careers for translator for this videogame? 🙂

[shell vine]

If you are a professional, and want to work as such on the translation, you will have to contact Coffee Stain Studios, and get into a contract with them, if they have a need for your services.

Otherwise, the community effort to translate the game is still ongoing (link in the pins)

What language would you work on ?

[vapid portal]

Sure, thanks. I would work with Spanish Castilian

[shell vine]

Is it a different language from Spanish, Spanish (Modern) and Catalan ?

[vapid portal]

Is Spanish (Spain)

[shell vine]

Also, I don't work for CSS or GSG, so this is wasted here...

[wheat wraith]

It's a nerd term for the "standard" spanish

Something like Metropolitan French if i understand it correctly

[shell vine]

That language is already fully translated. Feel free to propose improvements over on crowdin, but it is very unlikely that you would be hired for it.
You can still try contacting CSS of course

[vapid portal]

Sure, really appreaciate your time ^^

Thanks in advance

[swift pilot]

Siempre hay cosas por corregir en español, puedes comunicarte a algún traductor de la lista para español España y dar tu sugerencia.
O crearte una cuenta en Crowdin y hacer la sugerencia por ti mismo

A veces nos omitimos los acentos

Crowdin deberia ser usado solo para juegos indie de poco presupuesto

pero intentare ponerme en contacto con algun traductor profesional que ande en la plantilla del juego

[wheat wraith]

If you want to talk in spanish do it in DMs

[vital marsh]

@formal quail
For translation requests, please refer to here. #1062710911367925780 is, as the name might suggest, only for if you want to report typos in existing languages.

People have already worked quite a bit on Thai support—the main game's text is already 64% translated, but there hasn't been any activity since April. If you're serious about this, just head over to Crowdin and start contributing. I would recommend getting in contact with the other translators so you can coordinate your efforts.

[urban flower]

oh yeah sorry dont know what I was thinking there

[wheat wraith]

speaking of mistakes like these, so you don't make them in the future, care to join the #polish-drg channel? you just need to ask a mod for the role to get access, we discuss troublesome lines there

[urban flower]

i mean sure

[wheat wraith]

@frozen inlet can you give this guy the role?

[wheat wraith]

With the right kind of cooperation I think it isn't impossible, man

[placid junco]

Hey, I don't really know if it works like that but I have 2 feedbacks on the french translation :

• When your health is full but you try to take red sugar, it's written "SANTÉ PLEIN" but it should be "SANTÉ PLEINE" as it's a feminine word
• At the end of a mission, it's written "résultats de mission" and "terminée", so the "s" is useless (the only result of the game is "terminée")

[shell vine]

Thanks for the feedback !
For the first point, it's a technical limitation, as the game is building the string from two separate parts, and they are reused in other cases.
I'll look at the second one.

[wheat wraith]

Y'know I wish there was some clearer way of telling new people how to get to the language-specific channels

That banner is not the first thing people look at when getting into a new channel, especially since the part about the channel is only partially shown

And I know it's not a big issue it's just that perfectionism, that drive for order in my head that makes this irk me

[shell vine]

Again, this is in discussion. I'll get back to you guys once (if) I get news on this

[wheat wraith]

Couldn't you just make it Plein/e or whatever other way you use in French to not mistake sb/sth's gender?

[vital marsh]

In these cases, Hungarian uses brackets, so it would be PLEIN(E)

This is a common issue with us, since the Hungarian ‘the’ works like the English ‘a(n)’

[shell vine]

It would just be worse than nothing

[wheat wraith]

Why?

[shell vine]

Most of the combinations are working fine as it is, and having the () would be jaring on most working combinations

[wheat wraith]

<@&296918282403840000> Can you give @muted valley the @ pol-translator role?

[muted valley]

CosmicWrench didn't get it neither

[wheat wraith]

Yea, he needs it too

It's hard to cooperate through crowdin alone

[muted valley]

true

[wheat wraith]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Can I have pl translation role?
I gave some cool translations that i think fit more on crowdin

My name on crowdin is jezomysz

[fallow wind]

Would it be possible to get the Lithuanian/Norwegian translation role? I am fluent in both Norwegian and Lithuanian and would love to help the game out

[shell vine]

Feel free to jump on crowdin and start translating, as I'm not sure we already have that role created.

[fallow wind]

I have started 👍 , only thing I suffer with is translating stuff like "Totally AXE-ceptable!"

[shell vine]

As we all

[fallow wind]

But its fun

[gray arrow]

🙂

[brittle salmon]

I tried to see if there was another way around it like "jauge" or "barre" or "points de vie", but the only thing I can see that might work is "niveau de santé". Turning it into a masculine phrase seems to most logical solution

[shell vine]

Yeah, we had a similar debate a while back, and figured we might have it use "max." instead of "plein", but it ultimately is a small enough detail that we are willing to overlook it for the moment in favor of the rest of the game.

[kindred remnant]

reminder that the devs didn't update the steam achievements for RO with the latest lines. Also the store pages are in EN.

[shell vine]

Remind me in 12 hours, I'll push again for it

[kindred remnant]

I'll try my best to remember, thx!

btw if the argument for not translating the steam pages was that they need localized art, the other languages don't localize their art either

or at least other games don't

[kindred remnant]

Reminder~

[loud plank]

Is this where I might offer my assistance translating for the dwarves?

[vital marsh]

Indeed

You can just head over to Crowdin and start translating

[surreal mural]

I've noticed that in the rig the "Invite friends" text below your selected dwarf isn't translated anymore (in my case it's italian). Does anyone else with the game set in different languages have the same issue?

[broken path]

that's because they replaced the string on crowdin

a new version of it is up for translation, and they built the project without waiting for the replacement strings to be translated

provided people go there and translate the new one, it should be back to normal by the next update

that's not the only one, btw - if you have the year 5 party hat, you can check that its name is untranslated as well, among other things

[vital marsh]

Yeah, every string that got pushed then will be untranslated again until the next update

And given we got another update and push today, it'll be the case for those strings as well

I just checked and unfortunately, it seems there was no pull before today's update, so the last push's strings still remain untranslated in the latest build

It would be really nice if they at least waited a few hours after the push to do a pull and build the update, but alas…

[surreal mural]

Oh, thanks for explaining!

[radiant hazel]

[slim verge]

so, to become a translator, all you need to do is make an account in Crowdin (link is in the pinned messages in here) and start translating !
The community translator role is awareded after some time and work done (there's no hard "goal" to reach for that)

[radiant hazel]

I see! And I reckon it’s voluntary correct?

[slim verge]

yeah

[radiant hazel]

Alright! I’ll give it a try later today

[vague quarry]

Me and my friends can help translate this game to persian

[slim verge]

You can join through the Crowdin link in the pinned messages. Feel free to jump in and help out

[shell vine]

I don't think we already have Persian available...
I'll ask for its activation if it's not already available

[slim verge]

I thought we did

my bad

[shell vine]

Hello, it would seem we do not have Persian available for translation yet. I put in the request to have it added to crowdin.
For the moment, you can already create an account there (link in the pinned messages).

Please be aware that there is nothing yet done for Persian, and that the game is enormous in content to translate. I encourage you to start with the glossary, and to try to find good translations for the names of the different game elements.
Keep it slow and don't burn yourself trying to finish everything in a single setting.

Feel free to ask here if you have any questions, or need help with specific parts of the game.

I also recommend that you do not try to work on the patchnotes folder, the mission naming system, and the mineral ticker news system.

[rigid zephyr]

Good luck brothers 🫡

[fading coral]

Well said, good luck, miners.

[leaden sapphire]

[vital marsh]

[wild sorrel]

Hello, I made a crowdin account recently to help with the Czech translation of Deep Rock Galactic and I just noticed there are specialized roles on this server just for this task. And I would like to ask how does one get corresponding role?

[fresh wharf]

You ask one of the moderators or Jacob.

But these roles are there to provide you a way to communicate with fellow translators.

[wild sorrel]

Yes that is exactly what I would like to do 🙂

@twilit mica Hi, could I please get the cz-translator role?

[cunning trench]

I can help translate in Polish language

[fresh wharf]

You can start translating on the portal that is linked in the pinned messages. You can see some of your fellow translators there as well.

[buoyant dagger]

@wild sorrel You've been updated

[gray arrow]

Tater could you give me pl translation?

[cunning trench]

for me too

[near scaffold]

Is translator a paid role?

[shell vine]

No, all the current translators you can see here are volunteers.

[near scaffold]

Im sorry to hear that

[shell vine]

There is a possibility for being paid, but you must set it up with Coffee Stain Publishing first, and have a corresponding structure.

[shell vine]

Why would you be, we like doing it.

[near scaffold]

Thats great for you 🙂

I just think that work done benefiting a company enabling them to reach a larger audience, deserves being monetarily compensated for!

thanks for answering, was just curious

[shell vine]

The scope of the translation (when it was started, in early access) is/was so big that it would not be a logical business decision to pay for it, especially since it only benefits to a very small subset of the players.
Having it available for translation by volunteers (although the studio pays for the service enabling it), is a much lower cost, and enables people that want to help to do so.

It allows for translations to exist in a small (at the time) indie game, instead of being stuck in English.

[near scaffold]

yes 🙂 !

[vital marsh]

It's volunteer work, we're not forced to do it.

Also, we do get stuff in exchange, like keys for otherwise paid DLC, so it's not like we're uncompensated for our work.

[kindred remnant]

And credits

[vital marsh]

Also, this is my personal opinion, but I'm not doing it for GSG but for the players

If I can help more people play a game I love, I'm happy

[hard ocean]

I could help with correcting some mistakes in Russian localisation

[fresh wharf]

Feel free to do so, you can find the portal in the pinned messages and translate there.

[hard ocean]

Ok, thanks

[hard ocean]

Look like it's access restricted 😦

[fresh wharf]

Crowdin? You can just authorize via Google, no?

[hard ocean]

I mean.. it says Crowdin is used for typos in the original text only, doesn't it?

[fresh wharf]

It's the main portal.

I recall it is used to report such stuff, but it's where we all translate too.

[shell vine]

Crowdin is the only interface between the game and the translators. It is also used to report typos in the source since it already has the entire source listed by string.
You can simply propose fixes for a language by submitting a corrected version of a string (if that string is already approved, it will prompt you to notify a proofreader)

[hard ocean]

Oh, now I get it
Thanks for help

[strange thistle]

wait what? where?

damn im stupid. i thought you talked about currency (though i still haven't been put in the credits even though i reached the tier)

[sleek plover]

how can I help with PT-BR translations ?

[dry cradle]

you can sign in to crowdin and help right away.

||@somber gulch package for you ||

[shell vine]

And now Poker is answering for PT-BR even when we don't mistakenly summon them

Success !

[dry cradle]

||at this point i have to 😔||

[loud plank]

Regarding the translation on crowdin. Is it possible to upload and revise as I go or will I need to make a local document to and have everything finalized before uploading the finished work?

[broken path]

you submit string by string, so unless you're planning on taking on a huge string like the patch notes, that shouldn't be an issue

[loud plank]

Working on the steam page and the page in question is one large string so I think it best I make a local document to work with

[broken path]

yes, that would be best in that case

especially seeing as, if strings get too large, it starts freezing the site, and having the text off-site is extremely helpful in those scenarios

[urban lance]

Hello .. how i can join the pot calls ?

[boreal quest]

This is not the place to ask, but pick a role in #welcome-and-rules

[vital marsh]

||If you're looking for pot, this is the wrong server||

[rancid terrace]

Legaly speaking, rocking is more legal than stoning

[shadow goblet]

i found a strange wording on spanish, it transliterated "keep suited up" to "keep the suit on"
in my useless opinion "mantenerse en alerta" would have flowed better

[leaden sapphire]

Doublechecking it. Thanks!

And opinions are never useless if they are respectful and with context. So feel free to drop any suggestion about improvements you think might be needed (as you have already done in the past), as certain lacks of context or ambiguities, or even the attempt to make a joke, can make expressions difficult to get in one shot. Either here, or through PM, I'm happy to get your "never useless" opinion

hey, I don't know who takes care of the portuguese translation, but I have a little suggestion for one of the helmet's description "Nascido para cavar" description's sounds super formal, I think it could sound more natural if it went somewhat differently

[gray arrow]

Does anyone know a good translation for Bootcamp in Croatian? Can't find any good translations...

Also completely lost on how to get community translator role. Ping me if anyone knows how please.

[broken path]

Community Translator is given out manually to trusted individuals (I agree, all involved could do a better job of making that clearer)

[gray arrow]

Huh, well thanks, I am translating the Croatian version right now, when can I expect the role?

Is there some limit I have to reach?

[broken path]

you can have the language-specific role, if there is one, by asking a moderator, which then gives you access to that language's channel to allow you to organize with that language's other translators

but the Community Translator role proper will only be given out with time

[gray arrow]

There are no other Croatian translators 😦

[broken path]

😦

[gray arrow]

Yeah no I can't get it until I have the community translator role, I saw the lil' flags on one of the pinned comments and the bot says that I can't respond to it.

Guess I'll continue translating and just wait until a mod gives me the lil' flag.

[broken path]

ignore that comment, it's old and outdated

if there is a croatian translator role, you can just ping a mod and ask for it

[gray arrow]

Alright

DM or ping though?

Also thanks for the help

[broken path]

ping

there doesn't seem to be any mods online right now, so...

<@&296918282403840000>
is there a croatian translator role, and if so, may @gray arrow have it?

[gray arrow]

Thanks chap

[buoyant dagger]

Haven't got one at this time, jacob would have to add it and a channel

[broken path]

makes sense, seeing as they're apparently the only one

Guess I'll have to do the Croatian translation entirely by myself.

Eh, I have too much time anyway, it's summer

[gray arrow]

Does anyone know what TM and MT suggestions are?

[nocturne ember]

Trademark maybe..? Or like Translation Mode?

[gray arrow]

Fair enough

Just a side note;
I am reviewing the 4 year old achievement translations, most of them are fine but some of them are poorly translated using English words instead of Croatian words. I will mark the good ones with an Upvote, while re translating the ones I deem incorrect.

[slim verge]

Machine Translation

It's just crowdin remembering past translation

[broken path]

☝️ that

anytime there's a similar string to the one you're viewing, crowdin pulls up that strings translation, and tells you how similar the two strings are, and what the differences are, to help speed up translating

you can either just use the suggestion wholesale, or tweak it to better fit the string, instead of having to type the whole thing out

can also help with consistency or finding out there's mistakes in other strings that need addressing

[gray arrow]

Ah that's pretty cool, thanks!

[fresh wharf]

TM is Translation Memory, it's on the right side remembering all the user input over time.

[gray arrow]

Cool, thanks!

[gray arrow]

Am I allowed to add company names to translation or will there be legal issues?

[vital marsh]

What exactly did you have in mind?

Generally, I would avoid any straight-up naming of trademarks, but if it's appropriate for a wordplay (and not exactly the same as the trademark itself, so more like a pun), it should be okay

That's only my opinion tho

Not actual advice

[gray arrow]

Its a company name

One moment

Randoweisser
Currently Nasumično Pivo (Random beer)
I wish for

Nasumično Karlovačko (Random ((Popular Beer Company in Croatia Name)))

Nasumično Karlovačko would really roll off the tongue and be a nice ryhe

And its local so people would get it

[shell vine]

Sorry for the delay in answering, but if the devs did not put themselves a reference to an irl company or trademark, please avoid doing so.

As a general rule of thumb, we are not supposed to add anything to the game. We can adapt and twist some strings to make them fit better without problems though

The general focus when you are translating is first to preserve/convey the meaning, then to make said meaning sound "natural" in your language, and finally, if possible, to keep the humour (and this is the spot where we have the most liberties, as adapting a pun can often require to change to butt of the joke to make it work).

I would recommend you to start by focusing on strings without puns or jokes, and if not already done, to look at the glossary, as it is a good tool to help being consistent later on

[gray arrow]

Hi, @gray arrow and I have recently started translating into catalan, is there an existing channel/role for catalan and if so could you add us please? Thanks <@&296918282403840000>

[tranquil mantle]

Personally, it feels like a very akward phrase and something along the lines of "Você falará quando falarem com você!" ou "Você falará quando te permitirem!" feels more natural. It's less literal, but, personally, it feels more right, just a thougth, tho

[broken path]

Aaaahhh, I see what you mean

[tranquil mantle]

But, anyways, knowing the translation is fan-made is awesome! And its really well done

Must be a lot of work, so thank you and the others that work on it
