[covert garden]

regular port

not brazilian

[shell vine]

Work in progress

Done

[covert garden]

ah ok 👍

[covert garden]

thanks

[glad scroll]

🗣️🔥🔥

My entire family except me is Brazilian.

[covert garden]

As I said before and I hope you didn't misunderstand (because I know that what I said could be misinterpreted): I have nothing against Brazilians, just in terms of language, there are indeed quite a few differences in many aspects 🤌

and these differences should be respected in their proper translations and regions as well 👌

[glad scroll]

i ddint misunderstand

if i did i wouldnt have said

🗣️🔥🔥

[merry trout]

I probably should stop picking random strings and look other languages translation for pure curiosity but for fck sake Japanese has the deposit line "Down the hatch!" translated into "Cheers"

[shell vine]

Wait, what ?

@foggy pawn , any idea on this ?

[merry trout]

https://crowdin.com/translate/deep-rock-galactic/77/en-ja?filter=basic&value=3#q=Down the hatch!

[fading summit]

its lonely in here lol

vietnamese translation doesnt get a lot of traffic

[green trellis]

Yeah the DRG devs are definitely hitchhikers guide to the galaxy fans, the Babelfish is a relatively niche reference

[vital marsh]

There's a lot of ‘niche’ references in the game, so I'm not surprised

[shell vine]

At least the one who named the channel, way back in time...

[shell vine]

You are working on Vietnamese?
What is your crowdin tag?

[fading summit]

FairP

[shell vine]

Thx, I'll check in a bit 🙂

[shell vine]

I agree that it's slower than some other languages, but there is still a consistent effort in its translation.

[fading summit]

one guy carried the translation for years

lol

there are other efforts but yea

[shell vine]

Better than some languages

[fading summit]

is spline just a program? just to make sure lol

[vital marsh]

That sounds like it might be a string for a debug tool that should normally be hidden

[mellow topaz]

Those strings are likely for a freecam tool that isn't implemented

A spline is a smooth curved paths made from points

It allows for smooth, interpolated movement and rotation of a camera, for instance

[fading summit]

o ok, ty

[steady pier]

Hello, guys. Did I understand correctly that I can report a translation problem in this channel?

[dry cradle]

either here or in #1062710911367925780 but yes

[steady pier]

Okay, then I'll write here first, and maybe you can tell me if I need to write somewhere else.
The problem is this:
The Ukrainian localization menu does not have a quit button, it is moved somewhere off the screen, and the disband team button is only half visible. I think the problem is with the font size of the text. Aaaaand i can't add screenshots here for full understanding

[dry cradle]

@honest sun youre still the ukranian pr, right?

[vital marsh]

Oof, yeah, I assume the merch button became too long with this translation in the last update

[steady pier]

Yes! Thanks for the screenshot

[honest sun]

@dry cradle@steady pier Thanks/Roger that/I'm on it

Was edited 25 days ago. I saw it too

I dont know when fix will be in game

[steady pier]

Thank you for your response. We will wait for the fix 🙂

[honest sun]

Perfect solution - running text between borders, when it overflows. But i don't know if it can be implemnted here

[velvet parcel]

@dense valley I think translating "Menace" as "Стрелок" is problematic, since the gunner class is called "Стрелок" too, and there are phrases/subtitles that do not mention the "Glyphid" part. So, "Стрелок убит" can either be understood as both "Menace down" and "Gunner down", which may lead to confusion.
Would you mind to revisit your decision?

[dense valley]

Usually, I'm highly against changing established translations unless they are outright wrong. In the case of Menace there were some discussions about proper translation as direct translation doesn't look good, so a neutral variant was chosen. I don't think players can really become confused with it because dwarfs can't die in the game, while changing established translation now will make them confused for sure

[velvet parcel]

I see, but I do think it's rather a major one. The "down" phrase isn't the only one there - there are also "We got the Menace", "Kill the Menace!" etc.
Also, I think many players do call the "dwarf down" situation a "death", especially the greenbeard ones

[shell vine]

Dis you use a \r in your attempt to fix it?

[honest sun]

Just use another shorter word — it means «goods/items/whatever can be sold in store» As I recall correctly in that category can be anything related with DRG Univers

[dense valley]

Not sure it's still worth it to change the established name for this one. Also, i don't really feel the replacement you suggested is a better one, honestly, it sounds pretty odd in Russian. On the other side, you can try to find somthing more fitting, as "Стрелок" is not ideal one, for sure. As i said, it was just consensus between active translators that it's a less awkward one.

[velvet parcel]

Yeah, I don't really like mine either - that's why I voted + for the current ones. But I still think it should be changed onto something more fitting

[dense valley]

We tried to find something that stays as close to original as possible and sounds normal too, but it turned out to be quite a challenge

Also, i'd like to ask you to refrain from changing established names and termins in general, it's not a good practice unless they are really wrong.

[velvet parcel]

So, would mind to revisit this one if anyone will find the actually good one?

[dense valley]

Yes, but i think other active translators would take a look, too, in this case. Changing old names usually requires some form of consensus that a new translation is indeed better and worth changing an old one

[velvet parcel]

The problem is that there are many inconsistencies in the current localizations, so sometimes I'm adding more inconsistencies... trying to select one variant of translation or bringing a new one and use that all the way through.
Anyway, from now on, I'll try to refrain from making new names. But do you mind if I ping you here when I see an actual issue with established translation? Or it would be better if I create an issue comment on Crowdin?

[dense valley]

We have a separate channel for ru translators in here, i asked Azerty to add you there. Until then, feel free to ping me here or on CrowdIn, im' always happy to see when someone is actively helping us to improve the translation :)

[shell vine]

Done

[merry trout]

🤔

[shell vine]

Yes ?

Is that text not available for translation ?

[merry trout]

no, i think this line is not been translated for japanese

normal for S_Chinese

[shell vine]

It'll probably be updated later then

[merry trout]

is Japanese translation still active tho
the "down the hatch" one are still unfixed

huh 🤔

[shell vine]

Certainly looks to be.
They probably just missed the build deadline

[merry trout]

but the recent update was 2 weeks ago...?

weird

[shell vine]

An update to the game does not mean a build from crowdin, and a build on crowdin does not mean an update to the game.

[small kernel]

@honest sun Uhm, looks buttons translations are long and exit to desktop button out of the game

[vital marsh]

This was brought up in the typo channel and fixed on Crowdin IIRC

[shell vine]

Yeah, this was fixed, and is awaiting an update

[honest sun]

yup Thanks. fixed month ago. found by my self but other report too

[frigid siren]

louadout

[rancid terrace]

#1062710911367925780 but don't post it there since it's been posted 50 times before.

[frigid siren]

Ah, thank you, didn't know what that channel was

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vital marsh]

It says report typos, but as much as I hate to say it, ‘common mistake’

[earnest eagle]

babelfish? like from the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

[merry trout]

correct

[inland socket]

What is the process for adding a new language to crowdin? I would like to translate the game to Estonian. I am not 100% sure if this is the right place to ask but discussions on crowdin seemed to indicate so. (Also how do you get the community translator role?)

[slim verge]

This is the right place to ask !
The process is simply asking for a new language to be added. @shell vine will pass on the message to the devs in charge of it.
The community translator role is awarded after some time and work on the translation, and if we estimate that the translator is trustworthy.

[inland socket]

Great, thanks! Then yeah I would like to ask for Estonian to be added.

[shell vine]

Alright, before I send in the request, you need to know that the game contains an **ENORMOUS ** amount of text to translate (a good novel worth of it).
I would highly recommend you tackle this project with friends or colleagues.
Also, your work will not be visible in the game until a substantial amount of translation is done, so it can feel very unrewarding at the start.
If you are sure you can/want to work on translating the game, simply answer to this message and I'll submit the request.

[inland socket]

Sounds good, thanks!

[shell vine]

Request is posted, I'll keep you updated on its progress

[broken path]

does GSG ever remove unused strings from crowdin?

like stuff that was replaced

[slim verge]

happens sometimes

[shell vine]

Yes, almost every time an update to crowdin happens, some strings are removed and others are added

[slim verge]

#translation-spoilers

[broken path]

wait, almost every time? odd, I see so many duplicates everywhere

[shell vine]

Duplicates often come from having the same string referenced by different elements of the code. UE doens't differentiate, it exports an instance for each displayed piece of text

[broken path]

yuck

[shell vine]

The request was approved, Estonian should appear on crowdin in the following hours.

[vapid lynx]

is "AoE %" , chance?
what AoE means?

[vital marsh]

Area of Effect

[vapid lynx]

oh

now makes sense

[proper meteor]

Native Italian-English here - Spanish also

[merry trout]

hello "Native Italian-English"

[modern roost]

@shell vine may i obtain the dutch translation role

[shell vine]

Done

[modern roost]

thank you

[fickle tendon]

Time to translate

[shell vine]

There is a high chance of additional changes to those.

[shell vine]

By the way, what language are you working on ?

[fickle tendon]

I just started to work on the German translation, I didn't know that the translation project is on Crowdin until a few minutes ago

I used to translate games from English into German and vice versa on Crowdin as a hobby for quite a while until a few years ago, glad to see that Deep Rock Galactic is using Crowdin

[shell vine]

Glad to see you join the effort :)

[shell vine]

If you feel like doing more on the German translation, feel free to mention me here, I'll add you to the translator channel

[fickle tendon]

I'd love to, I'm already working on some strings and most likely will do so for a long time

[whole obsidian]

i know this probably isnt the place for memes but it felt fitting

[shell vine]

Memes that are directly tied to the game's translation are fine, as long as they stay sparse

And I feel you 🫡

[whole obsidian]

sparse it is then :)

[shell vine]

Hello @barren flicker , are you by any chance one of the Kazakh translators ?

Hello @gray arrow , are you by any chance one of the Lithuanian translators ?

[dusk gyro]

Tuesday November 14th will be the deadline for translations

[whole obsidian]

and instructs every employee to keep suited up at all times.
does this mean literal suiting up, or to just be ready at all times?

[merry trout]

be ready at all times

it should be referring to miner equipment

[merry trout]

;)

[gray arrow]

Hey! While I certainly translated a few words, I would probably not call myself a translator

[digital ivy]

Hi there !
New french player here 🙂
I discovered the game several days ago and I have real fun playing with my wife and my son (and sometimes friends) 😃 .
This game was made with real love, we can feel it.
I noticed nonetheless some errors and mismatches in the french translation, or expressions that could be much better rendered (for example "smartgun" translated in "fusil intelligent" doesn't exist in french. There is no match in french language, so it could be left as is).
Working as one of the main translators (english/french) and proofreader for the french roleplaying publisher (Black Book Editions) of the Shadowrun Sixth World game line, and I would really love to give some help.
I don't know how to proceed, and I don't know if it's the right place to do so, but it would be easy for me to give our dwarven fellows some better jokes or idioms.
Do you use a particular application to translate the text that is injected in the game ?
Anyway, I hope I can lend a hand in any way you feel right ! 🙂
Don't hesitate to ping me here or PM me anytime 😉
Hope to read from you soon !
Sylvain

[dry cradle]

we use crowdin for our translations, and theyre made in full by the community. you can find the link to the project in the pinned messages

but let the proofreaders speak first lol

[shell vine]

I'm a bit strapped for time right now, but I think @chilly orbit might have the time to answer you in more details.

[digital ivy]

No probs ! I'm happy to give some help if I can. We just need to discuss the way to do it right and point me towards the right tools to use 🙂

[chilly orbit]

Crowdin is the only tool we use for translation at the moment, if you don't include Discord for coordination/messaging.
I won't deny that we made some mistakes over the time, but we tried, and will try to give it our best.

For the smartgun in particular, I don't have the full thought process in mind, but we try to leave as few anglicism in the game as possible (with the notable exception of Rock & Stone).
There's also the fact that the Lok-1 is a smart rifle, but not a smartgun as we know in our reality (being a gun that can only be shot if it recognizes its owner in theory), and therefore has no equivalent.
This is why we decided to translate it literally as fusil intelligent, because it uses an AI to target mobs.
If you want to discuss further, about Crowdin, specific errors you're thinking of, or whatever, I'm available in DMs :)

[dusk gyro]

never admit mistakes - deny, deny, deny!

[slim verge]

By the way, the Crowdin link is in the pinned messages. Feel free to join and help us out with translation. Right now we're not doing a lot of work (because everything is translated) but we can always improve the existing translation.

If you're up for it, just join us on the translation.

[glad scroll]

Pounce since when are you a community tester? If you just got the role congrats.

[chilly orbit]

It's been a good while

[glad scroll]

It has?

Damn. I sure am blind.

[slim verge]

community tester ? a year and half 😄

for moderator, it's been a few months

[glad scroll]

I have looked at your profile numerous times I didn't notice the tester role ever.

[slim verge]

thanks regardless though

[digital ivy]

Just wrote you down a PM 🙂

[whole obsidian]

is it your birthday today or do you eternally have the role like tater?

[slim verge]

eternally

[whole obsidian]

happy eternal birthday then :D

[slim verge]

🥳

[kindred remnant]

It is mine though, could I borrow it for a sec? I'll give it back I swear

[green harbor]

The mods, much like Mission Control, age a year every day dealing with our insanity

[dry cradle]

totally ||not|| super fun

[whole obsidian]

bro warn me next time you write a joke like that i almost spat water all over my laptop lmaoo

it is undeniably true

[broken path]

I apologize to the devs responsible for fixing typos, but I'm sending a bunch of the new strings right back 😂

[vital marsh]

Odd, I haven't been getting emails about new strings lately

[fickle tendon]

I received an email about new strings earlier today

[vital marsh]

It's so confusing. I have email notifications turned on globally and DRG isn't disabled

[whole obsidian]

Maybe check the email itself? Unless you're sure it's an issue from crowndins side

[vital marsh]

That's the thing. I don't get an email.

[shell vine]

Spam filters maybe?

[vital marsh]

Nope, there are no spam filters set up that seem relevant, and nothing has been automatically filtered and put into the spam folder.

[vital marsh]

Apparently this was turned off at the very top.

[whole obsidian]

at least its fixed now

[vital marsh]

Yeah

[gray arrow]

How does the whole community translator thing work? Do you volunteer to translate the game under a specific deadline that they give you or?

[rancid terrace]

You just translate when you feel like it

Through Crowdin, there's a link in the pinned messages

[gray arrow]

Gotcha

[merry trout]

Question on LOK-1

Its a heavily modified SMG
and its under Submachine Gun category
but its called LOK-1 Smart Rifle

does that mean
LOK-1 is technically a Carbine...?
(short/compact, shoots im assuming rifle round)

[whole obsidian]

gun is gun

[dusk gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-bean-bean-rowan-atkinson-atkinson-bean-gun-gif-22134948

[obsidian nova]

HEAVY SMG

[mellow topaz]

I think you're severely misunderstanding the purpose of "sub" in "sub-machine gun"

[merry trout]

isnt smg/rifle are determined by the ammo it uses

full size cartridge for rifle and handgun cartridge for smg

[mellow topaz]

Indeed

sub-caliber ammunition

[merry trout]

then why LOK-1 is called smart rifle

[broken path]

so... you know that bug where sometimes the string will stay the same when changing languages?
this is not that
this string responds to changing languages just fine, but if I activate localization debug mode, this happens:

[slim verge]

@shell vine know anything about that ?

[shell vine]

Quite a couple of reasons for why this happened. First one being that I'm late in the maintaining of the debug language

[rancid terrace]

I got a ping from #crowdin-accounts , but I see no messages. Not sure if it was intended

[shell vine]

All normal, see the channel desc

[shell vine]

Check the desc in #crowdin-accounts

[wispy kestrel]

I noticed there is basically 0% translations for Latvian, and I feel I could help contribute to it, so I was wondering how I could get started?

[rancid terrace]

https://crowdin.com/project/deep-rock-galactic Make an account here

[wispy kestrel]

Alright

I did that now

[rancid terrace]

You can now select Latvian on Crowdin and begin translating, the best place to start is the Glossary.

[wispy kestrel]

Hmm so these are the names of things

Alright

[rancid terrace]

IDK if there are any other Latvian translators but if you want to coordinate with them you can ask for the Latvian translator role in here.

[wispy kestrel]

Should I make some contributions first? Or can I ask straight away?

[rancid terrace]

I am not sure, but @shell vine probably knows.

[shell vine]

Hello,
So far you are the only one working on Latvian. Feel free to submit strings to crowdin.
Please also read the description of #crowdin-accounts , and follow directions there.

[wispy kestrel]

Okay! tysm! :D
But wait really? I am? I saw there were like, 10 done in the glossary, so surely someone else is, but I guess that's not a lot and probably pretty old

But yeah that's fine

I got this, I'm not that good at translating some of the drink names but other than that I'm pretty decent at it, at least progress is being made in general

[shell vine]

I count the glossary in "strings"
I would recommend starting there, as it will greatly help with the rest of the project.

[shell vine]

Also, if you have trouble with the names, you can try other strings without those, to get the hang of it.
The project is enormous, so just be sure not to burn out.

[wispy kestrel]

Yeah, alright!

thank you :)

[wispy kestrel]

So far I've done at least 2 pages

This is pretty fun

[swift pilot]

So, is there now an exclusive channrl for Spanish LATAM?

@gray arrow

[gray arrow]

If there is one I can't see it

I can't see the old spanish one anymore

[swift pilot]

X2

We are banned for using the N word

[gray arrow]

nagasaki?

[swift pilot]

Norway ☠️

[inland socket]

Is there a translator role for every language in crowdin?

I've done a bit over half of the glossary to Estonian, so not a lot yet

[shell vine]

What?

You should see both... both roles should see it...
Gimme a sec to fix that

[shell vine]

Not all languages, since we don't have translators for all of those on discord.
But the roles are a good help to remember who is working on what

[gray arrow]

I can see it again

@swift pilot is it fixed for you too?

[swift pilot]

The role?

The channel?

[shell vine]

There's only one channel, but two roles

Somehow, some of the changes got ignored by discord when I did them (such as adding the second role to the channel)

[swift pilot]

Aaah

The role appears to me, then you should include us again on the Spanish channel.

[shell vine]

You are already in it?

[swift pilot]

Nop

[torn arrow]

hello, im a translator from chile, i was checking the spanish version, saw a lot of errors, as in, feels machine translated, was interested if you wanted help.

been playing this game for a whole year

[merry trout]

create a Crowdin account, choose your language and start editing
https://crowdin.com/project/deep-rock-galactic

[torn arrow]

Thanks, ill do it asap

[shell vine]

Hello, just to be sure, Chile uses modern Spanish?

So I can send you towards the right team.

[torn arrow]

Yes

[torn arrow]

Yes we do

[shell vine]

Done, please check #crowdin-accounts and #spanish-latam-drg

[shell vine]

Specifically, the description of those channels

[torn arrow]

Ok, will do tonight

[swift pilot]

We are not sure

Jk

[torn arrow]

very funny, srsly, i can barely understand some people here

[torn arrow]

made the account, just for double checking, username is my account name?

[shell vine]

Yeah

[torn arrow]

alright, slapping that on #crowdin-accounts

[shell vine]

Perfect.
Do remember to introduce yourself to the other translators

[torn arrow]

done, and i already found my first bump, i await an answer to provide the best localization i can muster

well, that was fast

[torn arrow]

Hello, I have a few issues with my translation.

[shell vine]

What's the matter?

[torn arrow]

Some of the content may be unreleased or may be S5 content, so I may not have avialable context for a proper localization.

So either I will have to wait for release to fix issues or be told what the context is for

[shell vine]

What strings is it?

[torn arrow]

Plus, found the word Yuletide, which while there is official spanish localization, wanted to ask if i should change it

[torn arrow]

Not at home right now so will have to answer this afternoon

[dry cradle]

up to you and your team

[torn arrow]

Understood

[vital marsh]

Yuletide is just a non-religious way of saying Christmas, so I'm sure it can be anything

[torn arrow]

Well, that actually clears a lot

Thanks, i will ask arround the spanish channel

[vital marsh]

Yeah, it used to be Christmas a few years ago, then they changed it

It's all the same, though

[slim verge]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule

if it can help

[torn arrow]

In Spanish its Jul

Or Júbilo

Which the second was already used before in movies and other media who wanted to be more neutral

Such as within Dr. Seuss

[torn arrow]

My guess is managment had to be corporate friendly

[torn arrow]

Gotta say, i have had more engagement here than in other games i have done translation for so far

[chilly orbit]

My guess would be not towards corporate friendliness rather than community friendlyness - Christmas is very occidental and Christian, and thus not everyone celebrate it.
Yule makes it less relatable for everyone - it's just the celebration mid-winter, being pagan and such.

[torn arrow]

Isnt that also occidental?

Nevertheless, i find it rather refreshing, if not, unique rather than just say holyday, its using yuletide

[whole obsidian]

ive made a quick tutorial on how to translate difficult words(ft. tom scott), should work for most languages :)
||(joke... well sorta :P )||

[mellow topaz]

This is amazing

[torn arrow]

hey, how do i resume the work i left unfinished

[torn arrow]

i cannot find it

[shell vine]

What do you mean by "unfinished"?

[torn arrow]

did couple of strings, was needed somewhere else so i turned off my computer

dont know where i left off

[shell vine]

You mean, getting the strings in the same order in the list?

[shell vine]

And finding the last one you worked on?

[torn arrow]

the same order of strings i was working before, they seem to have just scrambled

[shell vine]

Default order is untranslated first, then unapproved.
Order of the strings in this category is determined by upload order, and that is given by the engine.
There is a second thing : when you change the status of a string (translation or approval), the currently displayed list page (50 strings on the side of the editor) will not update until you ask for a new page (arrow button or reaching the end). But when you change the page, it will update the list with the new string status but still give you the next page of the list *despite the fact that the list just changed *

If you want to work on the strings in order, and find your spot again, you need to filter them, and remember at what page you stopped.

If explanation unclear, ask again in 18h. It's late, and I'm off to bed

[torn arrow]

aight, imma work on the ENTIRETY of the game files, cause let me tell you, some of the glyphid names in spanish are ..... not exacly accurate

[torn arrow]

also, what does \r means

do i leave it in the translation or not

[broken path]

leave it

it's a line break

[torn arrow]

thanks

[vital marsh]

Here's one of my own tips, too: If you want to work on a batch of strings related to each other, look at the context. For example, if I look at the ‘Hexawing down!’ line, there's this part in the context:

SourceLocation: /Game/Character/Shouts/NewJan2021/Implemented/Shout_Killcry_HexawingGniffer.Shout_Killcry_HexawingGniffer.Entries(0).Entries.Text

That means, if I copy and paste Shout_Killcry_HexawingGniffer into the search bar, it will return all killcries for the hexawing gniffer. If I paste just Shout_Killcry, it will return all killcries for all mobs.

[merry trout]

for those who don't wanna read wall of texts, here's the short version↓
READ CONTEXT WHEN YOU TRANSLATING YOU MUPPET

😎👍

very useful tip
much appreciated it

[whole obsidian]

Context is very noice

[shell vine]

Alright, up and ready, so I can answer more.

Two things pop up to my mind when reading your comment :

1. Be sure that what you are going/proposing to change is agreed upon by the rest of your team.
2. Check if the glossary is up to date on what changes you want to do first.

Also, be aware that sometimes, some translations are awkward because there is no other option, or because having a more accurate translation could go against what the given consensus is with the players.
(Example with the Glyphid Menace in French : Menace is spelled, pronounced, and means the same in English and in French. So the player base almost immediately took to calling the Menace just that. But that word is poorly reflective of the mob in French, so other translations were proposed. And yet, the argument was made that having a less perfect translation, but aligned with the player base was preferable, so Menace stuck around)

[torn arrow]

Fair enough, ill pester the spanish channel see if they agree or diaagree my proposals, the issue i see is mainly some pf the names can easily go 1:1 with their spanish versions while others feel like they were changed and became awkward to pronounce

Such 1:1 is the menace, since its easy to roll on the tongue

One that feels off is the slasher, since there are word that could've fit that bugger, instead its called assassin.

[vital marsh]

Anyone know how to search for special characters on Crowdin? Specifically ".
Some older translations just use " " quotation marks instead of „ ” and I was looking to correct that.

\" doesn't work, unfortunately.

[velvet parcel]

[vital marsh]

Yeah, that's a bug in all languages AFAIK

[rancid terrace]

No need to translate something universal

[broken path]

yup, reported a long time ago too, still not fixed

[vital marsh]

I have a perhaps unusual request. Does anyone know how to filter strings to only show translations that have words with capital letters (except the beginning of sentences)?
The source text often capitalises words like Drop Pod or Fuel Cells, and some of these carried over to the translation, but the other translators and I decided a few years ago that we'd drop this practice as it's nonstandard and, frankly, quite ugly in Hungarian. I've been doing my best to try and catch these on the fly and fix them wherever possible, but there's still quite a few and it would be nice to be able to go over every instance and fix them once and for all.

[velvet parcel]

Had the same issue, yet no solution.
Verbal Expression in the Advanced Filter settings could help... but it seems that the tool is just utterly broken.
The expression should go something like that:
start, anythingbut ".", then " ", range "A,Z", end
With "A,Z" being your range of characters. range can be changed to anyof with all the capital letters your language has.
https://support.crowdin.com/expression-syntax-elements/
Either way, it just doesn't really work with non-English letters when searching in translations and sometimes throws an internal server error. But, well, at least you can use it to search for original strings with capital letters... but there are 199 pages of them, so gl.

I'd guess it just a really weird underdeveloped regex builder designed to stop malicious regexes, so there's that

[shell vine]

One of the search icons allows for case sensitivity.

The "Aa" I think

Or maybe the "exact match" one

If you want a regex search, I can send you the base translation file, and you can regex it up off crowdin

[vital marsh]

Yeah, I've been using the Aa button when searching for specific phrases, but that only works one at a time

[velvet parcel]

The issue is that we need to search for translations with capitalized letters, not the original strings. E.g. in Russian "Cluster Grenade" should be translated as "Кассетная граната", not "Кассетная Граната" (with capital "Г"). I could search the phrase with case-sensitive search, but that's just one phrase at a time, which is kinda painful.

Searching for capitalized letters in the original strings is somewhat helpful, but is already doable using Crowdin's VE tool, so plain regex won't really help here

[shell vine]

The translation file has the translations along the originals. It's only available to proofreaders though.
If you want to try with it, have a proofreader for Russian ask in your stead (here or the language channel, both are fine)

[vital marsh]

I was able to check this out now, and start, anythingbut ".", then " ", anyof "A,Á,B,C,D,E,É,F,G,H,I,Í,J,K,L,M,N,O,Ó,Ö,Ő,P,Q,R,S,T,U,Ú,Ü,Ű,V,W,X,Y,Z", end seems to have worked. Unfortunately, it's also returning strings where the incorrect version is no longer the approved / most recent / most upvoted translation, but it's a start. Thanks!

I'm thinking hard about whether to delete these incorrect translations. They are mucking up search, but they are somebody's honest work.

[shell vine]

Do you want to try with the file directly ? It only contains the current translations

[vital marsh]

Ah, yes please.

Guys, in one of the Assignments texts (I’m not sure exactly where) in the Russian localization of the game, I saw a typo. One of the letters was placed incorrectly. I don’t remember if I saved the screenshot, but if I did, I’ll send it. Is there any way to correct the typo?

[merry trout]

https://crowdin.com/project/deep-rock-galactic
creat a crowdin account, go to [whatever language your using] - AllGameText, find the string that has typo in it (you can search keyword at top left), fix the typo, save the new translation

IF the string was approved, creat an issue at COMMENTS section, itll send a notice to your language's proofreader

[fallow carbon]

Thanks, I'll try

[fallow carbon]

I found a problem in the Russian translation that affects DRG lore, and I'm not sure where to send a description of it. I already wrote about it in crowdin, but I would like to clarify it as fast as possible. Should I send a description of that error here, or should I wait for an answer in crowdin?

[slim verge]

you can share it in here

[fallow carbon]

It is necessary to bring the translation into Russian of the name "Outer Rim" to a single standard. All translations of this name are used differently in the game, and I believe some of them to be incorrect.

Let's start with the fact that, most likely, the name "Outer Rim" was taken by the developers from Star Wars, where the same word denoted a certain space of stars and which was officially translated into Russian as "Внешнее Кольцо". I've notices that there are different variants of translation of "Outer Rim" in DRG, so I suggest either to follow the Star Wars example and translating the name as "Внешнее кольцо", or translate it as "Внешний обод", as some translators in Russian community do.

Both of these options in English carry the same meaning, but in Russian the first option literally means “Ring”, and the second means a part of an object, device, etc. in the shape of a ring, an oval, enclosing and fastening other parts this item, in particular a barrel.
Since "Outer Rim" is an English word, the developers could play on the second meaning of the word "Rim", which I described before, and use it as an Easter egg. In this case, we should naturally translate "Outer Rim" as "Внешний Обод", playing on the dwarfen thematic that, for example, beer barrels have a rim, or something like that.
If they just picked it up from Star Wars, then we should translate it as "Внешнее Кольцо".

I ask competent people to clarify whether the developers put any special meanings into this name that I described above.
Afterwards, all other mentions of this name in the Russian translation should be corrected according to the chosen standard.

[broken path]

quality translation work: <this ☝️>
non-quality translation work: "My grasp of the language I'm translating to is poor, and my grasp of the language I'm translating from is worse. I'll just use Google Translator and ask no questions."

[vital marsh]

I remember Stiny once told me a horror story of him finding a stream on Twitch where someone was broadcasting themselves translating a game.
…Literally just by copying every string into Google Translate, then taking the output as-is.

Not only is that terrible ‘work,’ but I can't imagine it made for a compelling stream, either lol

[broken path]

that sounds horrifying

I wish Crowdin allowed me to filters strings by "Translated with Google/Microsoft Translator"

[merry trout]

streaming working on translation is just a bad idea in general
imagen you are struggle finding fitting words for a 3 paragraph long string while the only viewer keep spamming machine translations in chat thinking hes a smart ass

[vital marsh]

Tbh yeah

I have terrible with finding words in general sometimes (not just during translation)

[shell vine]

It does ^^

I've also diasbled the integrated option for machine translation in the project, too much crap came from it

[shell vine]

I ask competent people to clarify whether the developers put any special meanings into this name that I described above.
That would be @dense valley

[mellow topaz]

I'm getting some serious importer syndrome
Because I quite frequently use Google Translate and thesauruses to find translations for certain words that for some reason I can't think of
Not entire phrases mind you, just words

[shell vine]

And that's fine

What is not is to mindlessly let a machine translate for you. Using the machine to help your brain remember words is fine, you are the one doing the translation. And you are using the machine as you would a paper dictionary, no trouble here.

[broken path]

not only is that use of google translate fine, it's really the only thing it's good for

Hi! I really want to translate the game on classical Latin langiage. How I can do it?

[oblique garden]

The first thing you gotta do is have determination

The rest I dunno

[shell vine]

Hello, asking for new languages here is the right way to do it.

Before opening up the language though, I'm going to need you to understand that the game is a pretty massive beast text wise (more than a 100k words for the game alone, and there a couple more things on the side too), so it is not something you can do over a week-end and be done with it.
If you believe that you have the commitment to tackle this project, simply tell me here and I'll do what's necessary.

The other thing is that your work will not be featured in the game before you reach at least 30% of translated content on the main game file, and even then, there might be a delay before the devs have an update to include it.

If you still think you want to do this, just tell me here.

[chilly orbit]

My flawed knowledge on the declinaisons of Rosa, rosae, f. accompanies you

[iron umbra]

Hi I'm from Argentina, and I want to say in Latin Spanish are so many miss-translations and incomplete translations. (I'm compressive is a big game)

For example:

The helmet "Corporate Marine" in Spanish was translated like "Marino Corporativo". If the helmet is about Marines like soldiers, you don't have to translate It, is better If you say "Marine Corporativo" (Marino Coporativo is like a worker of a company who is in the sea but doesn't make sense in Spanish) another translate can be "Infantería Marina Corporativa" (soldiers that are in the sea).

How can I help with these situations?

[merry trout]

@iron umbra

[shell vine]

Hello, and thanks for bringing this up :)

I notified the proofreader for Modern Spanish that you had brought this up.

You can also make an account on crowdin (channel description) and offer suggestions directly there.
Do keep in mind that all of the work might not be from the current team, or that there might be good reasons for how some of those translations ended up.

[swift pilot]

Just like azerty said, you can use Crowdin and create an account to propose translations to go into the game.

[shell vine]

@iron umbra I added you to #spanish-latam-drg , feel free to discuss those issues with the team over there.
If you make an account on crowdin, please also read and follow the instructions in #crowdin-accounts .

[dusk valve]

Thank you for talking about the workload. Yes, it's enormous, I won't deny that. But I am crazy enough to work with it, because I am translating the Telegram social network into Latin.

In short, I want to do it, but I'm not promising to do it quickly, I think you understand that.

[tranquil hollow]

@shell vine Hi there
I've been a proofreader in a lot of other projects (Minecraft, ProBot, PreMiD, etc.) and I would want to take part in the project of translation as well. But because this project is so big, I have to ask a very important question first before beginning the translation.
That being said, would my language (Persian), which is a RtL language like Hebrew or Arabic, likewise receive appropriate font and visual support if it were to be translated at some point? After all, it would be a shame if it ends up nowhere when translating is finished.

[shell vine]

As far as I know, there is already a translation started for Hebrew and Arabic, and both have some support for their fonts.
The extent of the support would depend on the extent of the breakage :

• everything is broken would probably warrant a fast fix
• a character is not displayed here and there would probably not

In any case, a new language will not be integrated in the game if it does not hit at least 30% on the main game file, so there would be not quick and dirty checks for this.

[tranquil hollow]

Excellent, 30% completion would be a fair value for it to be added to the game.
Because Persian uses Arabic lettering with a few exceptions, it is likely that some characters will be broken.
In any case, I'd be happy if we could begin translating DRG into Persian! (From what I can tell, it appears that the project doesn't have this language for translation available as of yet.)

[shell vine]

I'm guessing you already have a crowdin account, and know how the platform works ?

[tranquil hollow]

Yes, and my username is FDg81.

[shell vine]

Please add this to #crowdin-accounts

[tranquil hollow]

Thanks! Looking forward to make this game available to all of my native friends.

[vital marsh]

Welcome to the project

[tranquil hollow]

I have a question about the glossary:
I've suggested some basic terms for the glossary, so when we hover over the words in the main file, it would show the term in Persian. (like this I guess: #babelfish-lounge message)
But now that I see, the actual English terms are replaced with Persian strings I've suggested, therefore no indication of the term when translating main files nor any result in terminology tab...
I don't quite get how it works...

[shell vine]

Could you provide me with a picture of where it __doesn't __ work as in the message linked above (full crowdin editor window please)

[shell vine]

I'll check

[shell vine]

Okay, I don't know what's going on, but you need to stop. You have been replacing the english terms instead of adding them as a translation.

I'll try to see what went wrong and come back to you.

But I'll have to revert it for now

(Not your fault, you should not even have the rights to do something like that)

Yeah, weird stuff...

[vital marsh]

I assume the English language is also open for ‘translation’

[shell vine]

Some of them were right though...

[shell vine]

It should not, I though I had that closed out quite a while ago

[tranquil hollow]

oh that's right
maybe I've gone to the wrong language for translation...

I think only global proofreaders should be able to change the main English glossary... but it seems I haven't actually translated my own language glossary, rather messed up the English =)

[shell vine]

That's how I thought I had it set up...

[tranquil hollow]

I'm sooo sorry
I don't know if I can revert it within the activity tab or not...

[shell vine]

Set an undo action on it (since it also broke the glossary for others).
You can see your work here, look for the entry where it says you changed strings.

[tranquil hollow]

okay hit the undo button for those actions

[shell vine]

I meant to say that I had hit the undo already 😅

[tranquil hollow]

wait... double trouble...

[shell vine]

Oh for f sake

Lemme grab the backup

[tranquil hollow]

I messed up, like reeeaally bad 😰

And fixed

And it should no longer be possible to mess it up like that

[shell vine]

Don't. I messed up when setting the glossary up, it should never have been possible for it to be messed up like that

I wanna help in a Hebrew translation

but first I need to know how many peopel actually want that, so react to this msg if you do

also something for the devs to keep in mind, Hebrew like Arabic is written from right to left, not left to right, a lot of games get it wrong, and then its unreadable, even minecraft does it wrong

[slim verge]

most people don't read this channel

[cosmic prairie]

should I maybe ask in general?

[shell vine]

Hello,
The general translation effort is entirely done by volunteers, so feel free to contribute if you want to (the links to the platform is in the pins).
Don't expect people to react, since this channel is not one the most popular place, and most people on the server don't speak Hebrew.

Doing the work would be more to make the game available for people that don't have a good understanding of English, so they could enjoy the game as well.

[cosmic prairie]

I have no prob to get started

il just make an account in the site

it seems someone already did some work in Hebrew

[shell vine]

Yeah, I can see that.
They are not on the server though, so you'll likely be alone at the start

[cosmic prairie]

one thing im interested in

is words that have no meaning

like Glyphid

do I just make it sound like the english word, but in hebrew?

cus I do know some games like to change names for some characters in other languages sometimes

[shell vine]

If you can, that would be best, since the game has a lot of voice lines, so it would help if you could "hear" the translation

[cosmic prairie]

oh also we have 2 kinds of hebrew

one that has symbols for vowels like (A,E,I,O,U) just like arabic

and another kind that has none, and mostly works off of people remembering how words are read

Im gonna use the second kind, but I could add both if you want, tho idk if the text boxes in game are built for the first one as it is more complicated

example for a word in style one:
בַּיִת
example for a word in style two (simplified style):
בית

[shell vine]

I would suggest going with the one that is most used in computer systems, as that would probably have more chances of working "out of the box" when added to the game.
If you finish the translation in a style, and still feel like it, we can add the second one then, no worries

Do remember that the game will not display the language until you have at least 30% of "AllGameText" translated though

[cosmic prairie]

so for example style 2 can be read as both "ba-it"(meaning house), and "bit"(meaning bit,like bit coin), people know which one it is based on context.
but style 1 can only be read as "ba-it".

[shell vine]

Please read #crowdin-accounts 's channel description, and follow the instructions there as well

[cosmic prairie]

ye il prob try the simple style, then do the first one if someone asks

[cosmic prairie]

It is one of the biggest team. Doesn't mean that new members are not welcome though

[finite basin]

yeah i figured

but it being one of the biggest teams like you said

i hardly think they need any more members

how many polish translators are there now?

[shell vine]

A dozen I think 🤔

[finite basin]

personally id say that's plenty

[hazy shell]

@opal siren Could you tell me the movie this is referencing ?

[broken path]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crouching_Tiger,_Hidden_Dragon

[hazy shell]

Ok, thank you.

[pastel fern]

do we have any new info regarding the Salvo Spawner?

[vital marsh]

Nope.

[rancid terrace]

Probably when we get closer to s5

[broken path]

they did mention S05 is getting new enemies, so that could reasonably be one of them

[shell vine]

It’s a temp string that got bundled to crowdin by mistake. From what I got, it’s not even the final name

[pastel fern]

oh ok thanks!

[clear jay]

How many hungarian translators are there?

[vital marsh]

Hey, currently there are three of us active.

[clear jay]

Well, if you guys ever need another one i can help out for sure

Ive been thinking about it nowadays

[vital marsh]

We currently have everything translated (save for four unused strings I decided I'll leave alone because they are for in-development enemies and most likely not final, so it's not like the TL will be kept anyway), but help looking over and improving old stuff is always welcome.

If you're serious about it, you can ask for access to the exclusive Hungarian translator channel so we can coordinate more easily.

[clear jay]

Well for sure let me know if i can help somehow sometime

[vital marsh]

Like I said, proofreading old stuff is always welcome. For new strings, you can sign up for notifications on Crowdin.

[clear jay]

Allright

[shell vine]

Sorry

[severe wasp]

Is it important to include the space after the translation, or is this a mistake in the source text?

I included it, but I was just wondering why the space is there.

[vital marsh]

I've never included it and nothing broke, so I assume that's a typo.

[shell vine]

It is a typo, and you should report those anytime you see them (on crowdin, leave a comment and tick the "issue" box while doing so. Select "Mistake in the source string" in the drop down menu so that it can land straight on the dev's desk (so he can rant at me that there are to many typos to fix))

[broken path]

ah good to know, I'll be doing that

[whole obsidian]

crowdin is being weird

ghost characters

its not halloween yet chill

[thorny brook]

Wait, so these were typos?

I've came across so many of them 🥲

[gentle rover]

English typo, not translation but just noticed it on the description for Randoweisser

"Louadout"

#1062710911367925780 but don't report this one as it's already well known

[gentle rover]

Thanks didn't have those channels expanded

[old forum]

Hi! Is there any way to get the "translation version" that was mentioned in this disscussion on Crowdin? https://crowdin.com/project/deep-rock-galactic/discussions/129

[mellow topaz]

I think you need to enable localization mode in the settings
after which you can just press ctrl + O in-game to display all text as translation IDs so you can easily search for a specific line you're looking for

[vital marsh]

No, they're talking about the translator branch that I've mentioned

That one is special-access. From what I remember, you have to be a community translator (with the role here) to gain access.

[old forum]

thanks for the answers. Guess I'm just gonna make do with the localization mode for now 😄

[shell vine]

And it is still broken anyway.

[vital marsh]

Oh rip

[rancid heath]

@shell vine
For 2-3 months I have been translating missing lines into Polish, voting and correcting translations on crowdin.

I noticed that I had already translated over 30k words (38k). How does the rewarding of volunteers work?

[shell vine]

The devs check (around updates mostly), and intact volunteers directly through crowdin

Could you follow the instructions in #crowdin-accounts please? It will help

[brave thorn]

Hi all! I was welcome to copy here the message that I have posted in other channel:
Hello all! Just a question from a new player. I am playing on Steam Deck and I found that in the first run during the language setting despite picking Spanish as my language the patch note settings were in a non understandable language for me. After resetting, the game looks in Spanish but the patch notes are in English. I don't have problem with English but I want to know if the patch notes are also translated or are only in few languages (English mainly). Thanks in advance!

[vital marsh]

From what I can remember there's a bug where the patch note translations didn't get applied to the game properly. I'd also like it to be fixed, since I've translated most of the remaining patch notes to Hungarian and it was a lot of work.

[brave thorn]

Hi @vital marsh ! Thanks a lot. Then, I am suffering the same bug. I hope this will be addressed soon.

[brave thorn]

Yep! I also speak German and switching to German also set for the patch notes random language

[obsidian nova]

New strings

[merry trout]

wrong channel

[covert garden]

you right, sorry

[steel kelp]

hi everyone. i have found a mistake in the russian description of the sludge pump for driller. is there a way to post screenshot here?

English description says : A COMPLICATED NETWORK OF PIPING ... this means pipes which is (трубы) in Russian, but if you switch to the Russian description it says : ПРИЧУДЛИВОЕ ПЕРЕПЛЕТЕНИЕ ТРУД ... ТРУД in English is (work). To fix the problem you just need to correct one letter [' Д' заменить на 'Б']

[velvet parcel]

You can always suggest a translation on DRG's Crowdin page - https://crowdin.com/project/deep-rock-galactic/
The issue you've mentioned is already fixed there, but translations are updating only when the game is updating, so all we can do for now is to wait

[steel kelp]

Thanks for the explanations

[merry trout]

...any mod available rn?

[vital marsh]

<@&296918282403840000>

[buoyant dagger]

that's really not an all mod ping situation

[vital marsh]

Oh, sorry

[buoyant dagger]

scam bots, porn or other nsfw spam, people flooding out the chats or breaking people's discord clients, that kind of stuff is an emergency that warrants an all hands on deck ping like that

somebody putting a screenshot in the wrong channel is something you can just dm or ping an online mod for help with

[vital marsh]

Okay

[velvet parcel]

Is that plural thing will finally be fixed for other languages or it's better to stick to workarounds?

[shell vine]

For now, I would suggest to stick for workarounds.

[obsidian nova]

So how would these look like when they appear in the game

[vital marsh]

Judging by the other strings in the group, I would say probably something like this:

NEW SEASON BEGINS IN:
02 DAYS, 13 HOURS, 43 MINUTES, 58 SECONDS

[obsidian nova]

Also as there are 2 exact same variables in wach of them, what do they stand for🙈

[shell vine]

#881865240336285777 message

[covert garden]

what I understand about this translation is that it seems to be 2 translations in one. As if it were a line of code that displayed a certain text in front of the number according to the number it displayed. In other words, I would deduce that it would be to translate what is in front of "one=" and "others=" 🤔

_Edit: I just saw azerty message now. The one just above this one. 👆
Sorry about that _

[kindred remnant]

Hey soo, after months of having the game be fully translated into Romanian, can we get the Steam tag saying it is playable in this language finally?

DRG: Survivor has it already 🥹

[wind breach]

Im checking Polish site of project and there's plenty of stuff unapproved. Is anyone currently supervising the polish translation?

[shell vine]

We have Polish proofreaders, yes

[wind breach]

Because I decided to give a try with translating and I wonder if someone is proofreading the stuff at this moment. Maybe I could get feedback or tips how to maintain translation whenever I'll peek into Crowdin

[shell vine]

Please follow the instructions in the #crowdin-accounts channel description, and I'll give you access to the Polish chat

[wind breach]

Ok, thank you

[shell vine]

You should have access to the #polish-drg channel now.

[wind breach]

Yes, I see it now ^^

[kindred remnant]

can we make this happen?

[vital marsh]

Adding Hungarian would be nice too

[covert garden]

and Portuguese (Portugal) too

[chilly orbit]

@shell vine could you contact the appropriate dev regarding this ?

[shell vine]

Il ask (again) once I am back from my trip. Remind me next Saturday please

[chilly orbit]

@mossy egret sorry for the ping, but this has been reported over Reddit, could you check if the traduction in German does not miss a variable ?

[mossy egret]

sure

[modern lance]

I think it should be called data cell, not data core. This happens only in those two strings.

[vital marsh]

Aren't these supposed to be Core Stones?

Or is a Data Core extracted from a Core Stone?

[slim verge]

most likely a typo for Data Cells

[mossy egret]

Warkay got to it 8 hours ago, some randoms meddling in the Translation and translated the variable names.......

[chilly orbit]

Thanks for answering and looking at the issue ! :)

[mossy egret]

No Problem :)

[dawn schooner]

@shell vine Can I get translate for chinese role please

[vital marsh]

It's the description for the sienna skin tone. I'm not exactly sure what edifice means here (Google says the word stands for a large, imposing building, or a system of beliefs), but the pun seems to make a joke about the writer not knowing which form of plural it uses in English, so you'll likely have to make up an original joke for it.

[chilly orbit]

@shell vine Second ping of the day !
It's Saturday, and you asked me to remind you of this

[buoyant dagger]

Sure, just follow the #crowdin-accounts ' channel description, and tell me which version of Chinese you are working on.

[shell vine]

@kindred remnant and @vital marsh, I have attempted (again) to make it happen.
I shall let you know of any feedback I get on this.

[vital marsh]

Thank you very much

[ebon kiln]

I'm new to crowdin, is there anyway to check if a certain word has already been translated (or is there a user made dictionary somewhere)? I'm interested in words like rockpox and drillevator that don't really exist so I can keep the translation consistent

[vital marsh]

Some things like rockpox should already have glossary entries. These words are underlined in the source text and can be inserted with a click.

For other things, you can try searching the TM (translation memory) by opening the second tab in the right sidebar, but instead of this, I tend to just open a second Crowdin tab and use the regular search function

[ebon kiln]

oh, thank you very much, that's exactly what I'm looking for

[vital marsh]

Glad I could help

[ebon kiln]

this type of thing we usually translate or leave it like that?

asking cuz if I translate the words it would be absolute nonsense and if I do an actual translation it would need articles to make sense

[vital marsh]

Anything that starts with ‘Converted cascade module’ is a leftover debug string and can be ignored.

[ebon kiln]

got it

what's the standard for idioms (like this one)? or there isn't one? 😅

[vital marsh]

What do you mean by standard?

[ebon kiln]

like, do I use an equivalent expression (if there is one) and potentially lose the pun or do I translate the phrase and forget about the intended meaning?

[vital marsh]

For jokes without any gameplay relevance, you can basically do anything you want.

Just make it sound good in the target language and keep the approximate meaning, if possible.

[mellow topaz]

I would use a relevant idiom in my own language that is sort of in the same vein as the original

[vital marsh]

Yeah

[shell vine]

All "cascade" strings should now be hidden

[strange thistle]

Is the skin "Dicey" the dice inside the drop pod?

[slim verge]

no but it's related

for all intent and purpose, translate it as in relation to die/dice

[strange thistle]

alright

[broken path]

the "edifi" thing is an old joke about not knowing how to apply "-i" as a plural ("-i" is the plural of "-us", i.e. the plural of "fungus" is "fungi", among other words of latin origin)
now, why is this brought up to begin with? Idk, probably some sort of pun that's going over my head

[dawn schooner]

simplified!

[shell vine]

The info concerning the new update are not yet released, meaning that people that could answer you are not allowed to do so (at least not in a public channel)
I would recommend you ask in #chinese-drg , or wait for a dev stream to go other these.

[kindred remnant]

sorry when is the deadline for these new translations?

[velvet parcel]

Damn, congrats DRG Testing Language Italian localizators on finishing the translation part

[shell vine]

Fun fact, it took way longer for me to do the testing language this time around, as the platform was bugged.
(total time ~1h of support chat, instead of the usual 3min)

[shell vine]

At least a week, I think.
There is no public timeline yet

[kindred remnant]

no feedback yet on adding languages to steam?

question for azerty, I don't wanna ping you xd

As for the approval : only proofreaders can do that, and that's not tied to the community translator role.

[young ferry]

what are ||Bha Barnacles||? is is some new enemy type? i am not sure how to translate this, need more context

anyway, can we look at the models and stuff in advance, cause some translations are hard without that context, looking at you ||Goated Stubble||

[vital marsh]

There should be a public test version dropping a few weeks before release where you can try everything out. Or at least, that's how it was before.

[young ferry]

ok cool

[strange thistle]

||i assume they are a new secondary and from the strings you can shoot them. treat them as an enemy||

[wind breach]

What does the ||bha|| stand for tho? Anybody has an idea? It confuses me the most

And from the other hand, I see lot of strings that I'm not sure if are worth translating. ||I mean mostly strings of titles and descriptions of weapon overclocks, which sources have "PROTOTYPE" in it. I assume, they don't need to be translated by default, but some of them might as well get implemented at the end.||

[chilly orbit]

Prototypes are to be ignored

If they are implemented, they lose their prototype "tag"

[wind breach]

ok

[chilly orbit]

Repper

[rancid terrace]

Spotted in the wild

[vital marsh]

FYI, I found an automod rule that should block all invite links. It might be worth adding:
(?:(?:https?://)?(?:www)?discord(?:app)?\.(?:(?:com|gg)/invite/[a-z0-9-_]+)|(?:https?://)?(?:www)?discord\.gg/[a-z0-9-_]+)
Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/ylmj91/automod_regex_to_block_server_invite_links/

[rancid terrace]

In the DRG:S server we just use *discord.gg/* and have discord.gg/ drg set as an exception. But the regex probably works better

[vital marsh]

discord.com/invite is apparently also a valid format and this should account for both

[rancid terrace]

Good to know

[wind breach]

Anyone has an idea what ||bha|| stand for in ||bha barnacle||? I feel like it's acronym like "IFG" for Inhibitor Field Generator, but I need clarification if possible

I couldn't figure it out from the strings

[merry trout]

its just called "||bha barnacle||", least I dont think theres any special meanings to it

[ebon kiln]

I think it's just supposed to be like a repeating syllable for comedic purposes

[wind breach]

Ye, I saw one string using it for humour, but thought it's just pun built on name, not vice versa, lol
Even if there's nothing big behind that name, I wanted to have it clear

[broken path]

yeah, it's good to know cause if the name has no particular meaning, it could be tweaked to facilitate the pun

[buoyant dagger]

You'll likely end up getting an explanation on release

[chilly orbit]

Even before, on public experimental

[buoyant dagger]

Yup

So maybe hold off on making jokes just yet with translations

[broken path]

"before" would be ideal, so that we don't have to either leave it untranslated or change it after release 😛

[wind breach]

or we can ping devs to give more context
no, I'm just joking, but it would be nice to have all possible strings translated before season drops

[wind breach]

I've read this command should be enough to filter out anything with "prototype" located in string or source or stuff. But I still stumble upon those I wanted to filter out (see image 2). What do I do wrong?

[south flume]

@shell vine Hi, I worked on some Polish translations for DRG: Survivor, could I join translation crew for Polish for regular DRG as well?

[shell vine]

Sure, fill in #crowdin-accounts please

[kindred remnant]

@ devs set RO, HU and PT as playable languages on steam it's an order

[shell vine]

It has been requested.

[kindred remnant]

I tried the nice way

[shell vine]

And I shall ask again this coming week (since we are still on the week-end)

[kindred remnant]

Well then

I think the main steam desc for the game needs to be updated as well in RO

If that's pheasible

Both the small desc and big.. they have a legacy grammar mistake

Crowdin account
https://crowdin.com/project/deep-rock-galactic
And post your Crowdin nickname on the #crowdin-accounts channel

[wind breach]

Can someone pls help me with this? It's about advanced filter expressions

[velvet parcel]

Try limiting the scope to strings

[shell vine]

Please ping me (or a mod) in this kind of case, as the access to #crowdin-accounts is dependent on having the translator for role

[wind breach]

still doesn't work
I tried other filter with "then "prototype"" and I checked for every scope option and every time it returned nothing
The manual of website is so vague, what the heck??

I want the filter to also include the quote in source location, if that's possible, like here

[velvet parcel]

Yeah, it's quite annoying to work with and is actually buggy.

They've released CroQL searching, which is more reliable and quite flexible, but requires a bit of research:
https://developer.crowdin.com/croql/

You can find the CroQL filter in the same menu just below the advanced filter

*this menu

[wind breach]

I'll give it a try, but if the instructions for CroQL are as vague as for expressions, then I give up
Thanks for help, mate

[shell vine]

When they could have simply enabled regex...

[wind breach]

regex?

[shell vine]

Regular expressions is a "coding" language specifically designed for text search and match

[wind breach]

my problem is their manual doesn't give deep insight into how all the commands work and what's their capabilities
they just say "use then "text" and it will work", but they won't say if that text is checked as separate word or as a part of longer phrase like "marmaladetextchampion" or if it differs lowercases and uppercases
It's sort of guessing, that's not how programming should work, especially for newbies

[velvet parcel]

I guess this should work to find non-prototype overclocks
(context contains ".OC_") and not (text contains "Prototype") and not (context contains "Prototype") and not (is hidden)
According to the documentation, there's no sorting yet, but date ranges are available

[wind breach]

it works! I also added tag for non-translated string

is there a way to save the expressions, to not type them over again?

[velvet parcel]

Crowdin doesn't have that. I just keep this kind of stuff in my notepad app

[wind breach]

okay, thanks a lot!

[merry trout]

Hi. Having any translation-related questions?

[wind breach]

it will take while to wrap mind around CroQL, but it may be really helpful with combing through certain groups of strings, since they are sorted randomly in file
I can do some quality check of already translated stuff 😎

[finite basin]

reading this chat never disappoints

i mean

people can still cooperate in 2024

[wind breach]

This is Deep Rock community, mate, what else did you expect?

[finite basin]

yeah thats fair enough

of all communities out there ive seen drg is one of the most friendly, accepting and full of cooperation

[chilly orbit]

I believe you are lost, as this is a channel to discuss translation of the video game Deep Rock Galactic

[bright wadi]

Ah, wasn’t sure where a ‘general’ chat was since i’m mostly here for the memes

[chilly orbit]

#drg-chat for a general about the game
#non-drg-chat for a general about everything else

[bright wadi]

Ah, thank you

[wind breach]

CroQL question
if I want to filter strings that contain either "rock" or "stone", can I combine in one expression like (context contains "rock" or "stone") or it must be separate like (context contains "rock") or (context contains "stone")?
CroQL manual doesn't explain much of when and where can operators be used and examples don't explain everything imo

[velvet parcel]

It seems that and/or operators are purely logical/boolean, so you have to separate them

[mellow topaz]

CroQL? Does Crowdin not use standard SQL?

[velvet parcel]

It probably does internally, but for the users it uses CroQL
#babelfish-lounge message

[wind breach]

I dont like how vague it all is
One operator has "{{collection}}" and uses translations as example
But it wont explain what counts as collection besides translations. Does context and strings count? Guess yourself

[wind breach]

Idk why, but when I try to filter by CroQL, it shows me strings that I probably shouldn't see or even its said they are deleted or something.
I dont know it its problem of website or of the project.

[shell vine]

Website

[wind breach]

hope they'll fix it quickly :/

[shell vine]

https://tenor.com/view/peanuts-charlie-brown-lucy-van-pelt-prank-run-gif-4119647

They also had no restrictions to use the is hidden query, which was showing all the hidden strings - I've reported that, and yesterday they emailed me that it was finally fixed. I feel like the new bug was caused by this fix lol
Anyway, reported that as well, they're working on it

[wind breach]

[vital marsh]

I…huh?

What can you even use this for?

‘List every killcry for the hexawing gniffer’?

[velvet parcel]

It has no information about the project or its strings/contexts, so, that's a no

[vital marsh]

Oh

omg

It's literally just an interactive sentence to CroQL query converter

I noticed it yesterday, but I couldn't try it out because of overall messed up filter
but seems useful for people, who don't quite understand the system or something

[young ferry]

i mean i see them, but i honestly have no idea what they do, they dont seem to respond in th stream, not like caveleeches at least, do they just puke out some explosives when shot?
nonetheless, thanks for the link, much appreciated

ahhh nevermind, just saw they are just a secondary objective and dont have any more pupose than that

It seems to be a stationary alternative to festerflea, glows and does nothing. Seems to be a creature, but then it should have entry in miner's manual, but it doesn't.

[obsidian nova]

Should this one be translated
https://crowdin.com/editor/deep-rock-galactic/77/en-zhtw?view=comfortable#430378

[slim verge]

doesn't look like it

[obsidian nova]

Been wondering
Does Thermal damage represent a new type of damage
or just a different name for existing damage type, i.e. heat/fire

[wind breach]

I think the Latter
Devs explained oc for pasma rifle gives bonus to damage from fire, ice and temp shock

Also enemies affected change temperatures faster

[rancid terrace]

I think the new OC just gives a boost to heat and cold generation on the targets you hit

I thought they also said it increases electric damage though

[wind breach]

You mean shock?

I think they mean temperature shock

Like, when you freeze burning enemy, it gets large damage due to rapid temperaturę shifting

[rancid terrace]

#drg-chat message

Anders happened to be in chat

[wind breach]

Oh shoot
I need to fix my translations then, becayse I put temp shock there

[solid bough]

It's not "Thermal damage" but "thermal damage bonus" and is a status effect that will give bonus damage from cold or heat.

(is what I am told)

[wind breach]

The wording may be a bit confusing, I jumped to conclusion it means temperature shock
I think I get how it all works now

[obsidian nova]

So uh
what about Temperature Bonus

[wind breach]

wdym?

[rancid terrace]

I think drak OC increases damage taken from fire/ice/electric (thermal damage bonus) and also increases cold/heat generation of enemies so they get frozen/ lit on fire faster by heat and cold sources. (temperature bonus)

Experimental releases soon so you'll probably be able to find out soon

[wind breach]

I think the descriptions should add "electric", because "shock" can me misinterpreted like here

Because I frankly thought it means temperature shock, since enemy shifts temperature quicker and gets more damage from fire/ice

[obsidian nova]

Confusing wording
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1028650827201654844/1039539315232997416/123901239012903190.gif

[wind breach]

What is that for

[solid bough]

Proper context here:

It might be changed though

designers are looking at the wording

because it also covers shock as someone said

and then "Thermal" isn't sufficient

[merry trout]

(shoudnt we discuss this in spoiler channel)

[solid bough]

Whoops, that's where I thought I was.

well, experimental is out in 2 hours

[wind breach]

it was discussed on dev stream anyway, so no big deal with spoilers
now we just need to get a better grasp of how it works, and your reply really helped

now pls tell us more about bha barnacles

I found out something disturbing when I was doing research to fit translations for bha barnacles
their appearance is very close to pictures and description of ||larvae stadium of tapeworm ||
there's no description of what they are, when they seem to be living creatures
@solid bough can you tell more about it?

[obsidian nova]

What does P&C mean

[vital marsh]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%26C

Ig property and casualty insurance?

[south briar]

I think it's People & Culture but I'm not sure ofc

[chilly orbit]

Now that the experimental is publicly released, I'm gonna pay closer attention to the channel here.
If you, for some reason, can't or won't access the expe version, and still need help with context on something, just ping me.
I'll reply whenever I can

[wind breach]

Question
Im now checking translations in experimental build
If I stumble upon missing translations, should I post them individually, one per forum post, or it's better to pack them in one forum post?

[shell vine]

One per post please

[wind breach]

I already posted them in Group :|
Should I split them at this point? They all same type (missing in Crowdin)

[shell vine]

Nah, it'll be fine

[wind breach]

Im not sure if they are supposed to be translated? They look like debug tags
Theres more of them, for Ommoran drilling and Core Stone's phases

looks like those can be ignored

[merry trout]

dont think so
just "being chase by (cool) shark" I think

[broken path]

I haven't seen the item, but the way it's worded, it's probably more like, the glasses have a cool picture of a shark, and that picture makes you swim faster

[young ferry]

what german translation for bha barnacle to use? i would suggest "Rha Rankenfuß" but we need a call for that, so we can translate the rest accordingly

[shell vine]

Could you complete the instructions in the #crowdin-accounts channel description ? I'll give you access to the German channel

[young ferry]

done

[covert garden]

@native token @twilit mica @light breach sorry to ping you but I think we have a problem above. (I don't know for sure...)

Kinda sus, not gonna lie

Edit: Thx!

[slim verge]

just ping the mod role next time, you'll be less likely to get automuted for multiple pings

[covert garden]

Sometimes I get confused because the rules change on different servers. But thanks for the information

I'll ping that next time

INFO RE: SEASON 05 RELEASE + MISSING TRANSLATIONS

We have angered the machine spirits that is our build system - and we've been unable to make the builds for translations -push/pull to crowdin (and consistently make builds in general) the last couple of days.

This means that todays release build of Season 05 will not have translated strings that have been submitted/approved after June 10th (12:00 CET).

We will pull/push strings today (after the release), so that the 1st patch/hotfix of Season 05 will contain whatever strings have been updated/approved between the 10th and now.

You don't need to do/change anything. Just some info if/when you are playing DRG today and wondering why your translations are missing.

Thank y'all for all the good work on the Season 05

[slow elk]

Hi i want to be a translator for translate DRG in french
Do i have to do something first before doing translation on crowdin
(I did a bit of translation in advance but it's not finished yet)

My crowdin username is "GB_GAS_83"

and i think i have to ping @shell vine too

[shell vine]

Please follow the instructions in the #crowdin-accounts channel's description.

[obsidian nova]

Fellow zh-TW members kept asking about text showing up in English so uh
Has the pull/push happened yet

[chilly orbit]

Crowdin broke

[shell vine]

Should be, check the hotfix 1 patch notes

[obsidian nova]

Just checked, there still are few strings shown in English
Can someone help check things up pz

[velvet parcel]

Yeah, some things just aren't on Crowdin. And patch notes are translated, but still English in the game too

[summer oak]

Hi Guys, has anyone translated the word "Ikari" for Armor paint job: Ikari yet?

I found this SS on this discord, it looks like Neon Genesis EVANGELION's Robot though I am not familiar with EVA

If it is homage to EVA, I translate Ikari into 碇 in Japanese as the last the name of the boy pilot is 碇

[vital marsh]

It sounded Japanese, so I just applied my language's romanisation rules

…Which in this case didn't change much, so I guess Neo-Tekya would be a better example, which became Neo-Tekja

[summer oak]

Thank you so much! I understood

[summer oak]

@shell vine Dear Azerty, good day! I have just heard from KotoK that you are a guide for the people doing volunteer translation.
It would be great to have a role in the community for them or for Japanese translators.
FYI:My credit name is in game mineko, was mineko mine before, and is Mineko Fuji DbD in clowdin.
Thank you so much.

[vital marsh]

He's currently offline, so I'll tell you what he usually says: Please follow the instructions in #crowdin-accounts. There's also a Japanese translator channel which you'll be given access to later.

(Later as in whenever someone who can do it notices)

[summer oak]

Hi smileyhead, thank you for your reply. Though I cannot access that channel now, I will follow the instructions. I am not in a hurry, so I will wait for a while.

[shell vine]

Hello @summer oak , glad to hear from you !
As smileyhead said, please follow the instructions in #crowdin-accounts channel description and I'll give you access :)

[summer oak]

Oh I just replied to smileyhead, I am sorry for that.

[shell vine]

You should be able to see it now

[summer oak]

Yes, thank you. I posted my crowdin name

[mellow topaz]

[slim verge]

[vital marsh]

I got it after searching gunner mk4

[slim verge]

actually, I'm a dumbass

didn't realise there was a new filter on

[vital marsh]

lol

[slim verge]

that's why I couldn't find it lol

[covert garden]

@shell vine any update on the "possible introduction" of the new languages in the game? Like HU, RO and PT-PT?

[shell vine]

Not yet unfortunately.
I'm in full exam period, so I can't be as proactive in annoying the Devs as I would want to.

[covert garden]

I understand. Pls do it when you can

[burnt basin]

good luck on your exams!!

[shell vine]

Thx !
Currently cramming for mine while watching over another one

[covert garden]

Don't forget to drink a beer when you fish each exam ||(if you have more than one to do XD) ||

[shell vine]

🐟

Only one

[covert garden]

That's nice! Good luck

[jaunty scroll]

Can I know how does this channel works? :3

[broken path]

there ya go

[wind bough]

Anyone know what the locres string table link is for Dread Cocoon (5C9234CB474311595C2FD88ECA8A29C2)?

[chilly orbit]

Why do yo mean by locres ?

What**

[wind bough]

the localization file type for drg

If not, no worries, I wasn't really able to figure it out like other string table texts. I'm probably just missing the tables based on what I have.

[shell vine]

They use .po files for the crowdin API, don't know if/what they would have in addition to this.

[thorn raven]

Hello folks,
I'm actually making a mod that makes a Portuguese Dub for DRG.

I'm not good at UE, so I made a example with some audios how I want that mod be:

[chilly orbit]

What are you using the voices ? Yours, another VA, IA ?

[thorn raven]

It's my own voice, both for the Player and the Mission Control

[chilly orbit]

That's nice ! I love that kinda raspy tone you have for the scout :)

But also, how can the translators help you with that ?

[rancid terrace]

Are you looking for help making the mod?

[thorn raven]

I'm looking for the maximum accuracy of the portuguese text present in the game

[rancid terrace]

https://crowdin.com/project/deep-rock-galactic check out crowdin with current translations

[thorn raven]

Yes! sadly, I'm not familiarized with UE

[thorn raven]

Thanks!

[rancid terrace]

https://mod.io/g/drg/r/using-the-shout-framework This might help. I am not familiar with UE either but you could ask #modded-drg-chat or go to the modding discord

[thorn raven]

Ok!, many thanks!

[dry cradle]

Like others said, the game is actively being translated to portuguese by the community. By the sound of the mod you're making, I recommend you want to get in sync with @somber gulch, @burnt basin, @pastel fern and @broken path. They're behind the current pt-br translations

@covert garden and I are behind portuguese too, but ours is the European version lol

[covert garden]

[covert garden]

Nice mod bro!
