Karl sent me a sign
it's a miracle ! 
light cypress
slim verge
I'm so impressed by the shit people are making up and putting in the patch
like this sentence => - La direction a amélioré la correction des microcoupures des portiques près de l’Abyss Bar.\r
It makes no sense
and it's not even in the patchnote :
what the hell xD
light cypress
As long as it's somewhat similar to what's in the patch notes it's fine to put in
slim verge
not even close
light cypress
Right
light cypress
Why even translate it then?
slim verge
I'm not translating it
light cypress
If you can't translate it correctly why translate it
That line is not done correctly apparently
slim verge
the person who translated the patchnote just added this random sentence in the middle of it
light cypress
Yeah
slim verge
oh nevermind !
the base sentence was really here after all
Just, it was misplaced completely
and added multiples times through the patchnotes
I guess it's because it's fun to play hide'n'seek x_x
light cypress

wicked scroll
I won't be too hard on the previous translators, because their work still helps a lot
but damn, some times you wonder what happened in their head when they were translating
slim verge
You know what's terrible ?
wicked scroll
a good half of the time, the translation makes no sense

Yeah

@wicked scroll
when you validate new strings, will they change in every players game next time they launch, or will it need to be pack into an update first ?
Go here: https://crowdin.com/project/deep-rock-galactic/activity_stream
Select Build Project as 1st filter to see the times when devs renew translations in the game.
Select Source Strings Updates to see the times when devs add new strings for you to translate.
And there are other helpful filters... for example, to track other translators' activity on certain languages.

DRG is now 77% translated in French. Meaning we surpassed Polish, Ukrainian, German and Korean translations.
Next stop is 100%
light cypress
Next stop: 110% because something was inevitably translated wrong
short abyss
I've been translating for a year now
I revised everything I've done twice now
I kept finding little things and mistakes I would've missed otherwise
And I'm still afraid to start approving
When you're 1 guy you have no other proofreader other than yourself
And you might not have a degree for your native tongue
So I'd prefer quality over how quickly I'd translate it
But hey, if you're that good
I'm proud
wicked scroll
Different approaches
Current translation has so many mistakes
and since there is the voting system, you need to approve things if you want them to appear in game
I prefer packing everything into next patch, and then do minor corrections
but there was a lot of previous translations, we use them as a base to correct errors and harmonize it.
We couldn't work that fast without all the work from the previous translators
short abyss
:p I got no one to vote for me
wicked scroll
previous translations have 1-3 votes, and the only way to pass it is to approve yourself ^^
light cypress
lmao
And translation doesn't need a degree, just proficiency. That's why people need to approve instead of just push out translations like crazy

boreal quest
Szikla és kő, testvér!
Just one more question. Is there a dev-mode in the game to just do whatever in order to see what the prompts and texts are?
Sometimes a little bit of context helps, even if I have played the game a lot.
olive tundra
Most text is obvious and all of it has some code stuff right under it
And some have the context in the comments
boreal quest
In any case, I am going through all the ones that I can 100% say for sure it means what it means in the correct context. Translation percentage increased by 2% now, apparently.
light cypress
Progress!
slim verge
Every percent help ^_^
light cypress
Yep! Few lines every day m'dude
solid bough
wicked scroll
Good luck Stiny on your journey !
It is hard work, good thing we are dwarves
Also, I found quite interesting, it's like delving into the history of DRG
boreal quest
I can't say I am not anxious about the translations. I don't know if I should be strict and translate everything as it is, or translate it according to the context. A simple phrase like "success" can be done a few ways, depending on how it is presented.
What do you mean by history of DRG?
light cypress
Going through notes and other things. It feels like a trip through time almost. And most translations are probably done with context. Being literal is fine too as long as you're not 1:1 literal
Being 1:1 literal is how you get Google Translate to do things
boreal quest
All righty, thank you.
I am already kind of dreading the deep dive text updates. Hungarian is so wonky when it comes to localisation that I feel that I need to get it done as much as possible before the update.
light cypress
Nah you're fine. If anything, I'd probably prepare an update template looking at previuous updates and getting a gist of that. I don't translate so I'm not actually good at advice. Sometimes even the fool says something wise though
boreal quest
Also, I don't know how active the Hungarian translation is, but I found multiple approved translations for the same word, and it's confusing to decide which one to use.
light cypress
Ow, try and be consistent and build off what others have done
light cypress
dw You're working and approval is "all you need"
wicked scroll
If that could help you, first thing we did with Nito was sitting down and translating every "common" names, and deciding what shouldn't be translated.
We put up a list of every un-official translations to serve as a guide line for us and for future translators. When we will be dead of old age and people will still work on translating new updates for DRG.
looks like that
boreal quest
Oh, this looks neato. Would be nice to find common ground on phrases.
wicked scroll
auto correction from google, wanted to change the french word for "stunning" grenade into "antidepressant" grenade
that looks nice

Hello, how can I contribute with translation?
wicked scroll
You can go here https://crowdin.com/project/deep-rock-galactic
And propose your translations.
You might want to check with other translators of your country to see if they made a list for translating some names in the game
check pinned messages on this channel to see if there is a proofreader
dense valley
antidepressant grenade - sounds like an item we really need both in game and real life
slim verge
Good luck to you new translator ! Rock'n Stone !
opal basin
NGL the context section does not help with translation at all.
I did what I can but I keep running in to stuff that I can't translate without proper context or playing the game myself, don't think I can play enough in a free weekend enough to cover all basis for that either.
My suggestion would be to provide more context as to how the sentence might be used in game, be it, during a dialog or activity.
wicked scroll
This problem doesn't happen that much if you know the game.
also, as much as your contribution to translating the game would be appreciated, if you don't know the game and all the context, your translations won't be very accurate.
opal basin
I do wish to help where I can, but seeing as there isn't really anyone else doing translation for Bulgarian, there is no one to check my work and correct it, I could ask a friend or my SO to help with that, they are both fluent in both English and Bulgarian like I am, but then again, it's not grammatical and typographic errors that are the problem, it's when the translation is inaccurate due to lack of context.
It was a lot of fun trying to figure out how to translate something like "Fire in the hole" because a direct translation sounds so out of place and bizarre and at that point I found myself discussing various options and which one comes closest to the meaning rather than the literal translation.
All in all, linguistics is a lot of fun stuff, the simple fact that words can translate "One to many" and "Many to one" like relations on tables of a database, make for interesting dilemmas.
If by the time I can pick up the game, the translation is still incomplete, I'd be more than happy to contribute as I play along.
Cheers!
boreal quest
So, one of my anxieties come from suggesting a new translation to already translated things that are like 10 months old. I just hope it is not bad to do that.
Not 100% if I should.
wicked scroll
if translation isn't accurate, go ahead 🙂
boreal quest
It's that one of the approvers made a translation that is not right, so I am confused.
It is correct, but it's partially translated.
wicked scroll
you can create a new issue to signal the proofreaders
slim verge
Don't worry. In our language, one of the proofreaders, who was also translating, was doing very bad - we're talking about google translator level of bad. Those translations were 2 years old and were sooooo bad, they probably are the one who actually pushed us to come here to help with the translations.
So yeah, don't take those things into account. Do what you think is best. ^_^
boreal quest
I will just try to do the best then. If there is an issue I just want someone to inform me somehow.
But I do have an odd question. When mission control addresses the dwarves, do they do it formal or informal?
In English it's the same, but in Hungarian there is a big difference.
slim verge
Well, it's kinda up to you to choose.
You can go for either of those and it would make sense. Sometimes, translations are done to preferences.
boreal quest
The general translations are done informal, so I guess I should stick to that.
slim verge
Luckily, I'm working on it with someone else so we can discuss and agree with things. But doing it on your own can end up tricky of course.
Informal is probably the best bets anyway.
You won't have to change it either it's solo or not.
And everybody would feel included.
boreal quest
The reason I am asking is because as weird as it sounds, it would have an impact on the lore and the relations between the dwarves and Deep Rock.
It's a very weird thing. Deep Rock can be all casual and chill about how they address dwarves, or they can act like a big and important corporation.
slim verge
Looking at how the mission control talk to the dwarves through all their lines
I would say they would go for "acting big and important"
wicked scroll
they are also a bit familiar with the dwarves
slim verge
They are treating them like a boss would treat his employees
boreal quest
It's just something that popped up in my head while I am looking through the text.
slim verge
Gotta have lot of those popping up in and there :p
boreal quest
I do have to admit that doing it alone makes me question a whole lot of things.
short abyss
Treat all text as formal except conversational dialogue between the playable characters
foggy pawn
Finally we have update date and where's new stirngs 😄
wicked scroll
i guess when experimental hit the fan
dense valley
I think we can do some preparations right now. Hey, russian translators, do you have a suggestions how we can translate "Deep dive"? The literal translation "Глубокое погружение" seems a bit too long
Also, what about Overclocks?
short abyss
im gonna pull my hair out trying to think of a name for either of those
aaaaaaaaaaaaa
especially overclock
ok
after brainstorming
i have found the perfect word
so that's 1 down
fresh wharf
I think I've done all possible preparations translating those news that appeared earlier in steam
Last one has exact definition of deep dive and a lot of overclock context.
wicked scroll
I'm not sure we will translate overclock since it's commonly used in french
deep dives, hmmmm 🤔
fresh wharf
not yet
boreal quest
Oh jeez. I couldn't even finish all the untranslated stuff in the current game, and now comes this. I hope there won't be that many to work on.
In fact, I'd rather just do deep dive strings only, to full completion, and then work on the rest of DRG.
limber yarrow
There's nothing we cannot handle
Unless is a really weird word that only makes sense in english and makes us spent like 7 hours trying to think something that matches the original but those 7 hours turn into 7 days and you still cannot figure it out and you start to question why did I volunteered for this
wicked scroll
yeah

On a quick note, I find it funny how one of the item's description is a mash of Revelations 6:6 and 6:8.
livid root
Hello dear translation nerds 😄 , i am a translator for the french discord community. We are currently translating the experimental patch note, but we struggle on the meaning of this sentence: "it used to kill spread per shot" (the original is in the 25th patch note, channel "changelist only for experimental" of this discord, under the Scout section).
Can anyone explain it please? It would be supa dupa appreciated !
I wish you all a good day/night, and also fun/success in your future translations !
eager rivet
If i understand correctly Spread per shot is a stat for a weapon and Used to kill means reduced. I might be wrong though
livid root
oh, if spread per shot is a stat, the sentence makes really much more sense
thank you dude
dense valley
@fresh wharf Can you share your translations here?
boreal quest
@short abyss Regarding what you said about formal language, the issue now is that almost if not all the Mission Control text would have to be redone, since they are in informal form.

@solid bough is it a good idea to create a new discord just for translators, with a channel/language ?

a whole new server?
fresh wharf
yeah, that guy just auto-translated my current string while I was looking for similar translations in database
wicked scroll
I was thinking a whole new server so we don't add 20 channels here, yeah
Because now everyone is doing the translation with private discussions, but that will leave no trace to future translators
also, it will be easier to create unified translation lists, because you can't edit a post on crowdin...
So i was thinking about 40 new channels. One for unified list, one for discussion, for each language.

that there's definitely equal string translated by our proofreader

Idk as for me, I never do that
hallow sundial
#non-drg-chat is for meme, this is to get stuff working well and smooth
kindred hill
Yeah it was just a bit of banter...we were discussing the fact that it was made in the first place,ofc it wouldn’t continue to be that
...mods...never understand humour...esp. through google
I guess I’ll have to spam people’s dm’s for the sake of asking them about translations then
fresh wharf
tbh I can deal with incompetent behavior if the work gets done, but if it was my server I would definitely have thoughts to bring this place in order
gray arrow
also i personally was lacking opportunity to chat around the game in my own language
for a really long time
so how could i miss out
fresh wharf
and once you got the chance you both turned it into the same spamming style as on main one
dense valley
@fresh wharf Can you give me a source of a patch notes you translated?
fresh wharf
dense valley
Thanks
fresh wharf
As for mutators look for it in other server I provided you earlier
And.. as for mods that were moved to the actual positions I'll check that one more time when doing actual patch notes soon
Like if someone noticed a lot of mods changes for gk2 were actually applied to Subata on experimental
gray arrow
look we can fet this solved
fresh wharf
"Our beards grew 6 inches just from writing these patch notes." lmao
Can't imagine our beards after translating those
slim verge
Well, at least the double of that !
wicked scroll
i already can't take a step without walking on it
slim verge
"Oh, I slipped"
dense valley
@fresh wharf it's done. we can use it as a guide for new translations
fresh wharf
yeah, already translating new full patch notes
(copying some texts from my previous work)
Almost forgot you may need to use it:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/186pl1wHxeYyrrQaBEevHikQdaJMDhT0PIxbOlMWe230/edit?usp=sharing
Now you can see it
I guess ru-translators channel will mostly be dead now lol
kindred hill
yeah pretty much
gray arrow
exactly, crit mass is higher
fresh wharf
Literally no message since it got limited
kindred hill
i mean...i never really...meant to be serious with it...i'll just disappear in a few days anyway
gray arrow
also if you post thingfs there we dont het it
kindred hill
to be serious as in actually work on it
...i do this stuff when i have nothing else to do...
so i don't think i even need it that much
short abyss
@solid bough Would you happen to know anything regarding if the special characters have been fixed
hallow sundial
just make sure you are proud of the work you do, if you arent sure at the product that you deliever, go back, and take some time to think it over to make it its best @kindred hill gl fam, hope you get better
kindred hill
the problem is that i can't really be trusted
and to some extent
i understand it
i'm not a very reliable person
but come on,saying so because of a bloody joke about my past is just
hallow sundial
#non-drg-chat or dms, lets not flood this channel
kindred hill
not fair
solid bough
Self-realization is the first step to improvement.
kindred hill
the thing is...again...it was a joke,i wasn't serious about those things
solid bough
@short abyss There's been a change to the fonts on experimental. They're a part of standard set now - they're not perfect, but at least they work.
short abyss
Awesome <3
kindred hill
it's always confusing
dense valley
"I don't feel so good..." - i see what you did here!
kindred hill
nice
dense valley
I need to find how exactly it was translated in the source.
kindred hill
я не очень хорошо себя чувствую
вроде
solid bough
They won't be in until Update 26, just FYI.
dense valley
But we need to translate them anyway. Or you have plans to change their names on some point?
kindred hill
well that sucks
hallow sundial
Im pretty sure we dont have to translate them
none of the french beers are translated
we keep them as they are
dense valley
We translate all beer names in Russian, because if we keep English names, it would sound bad
wicked scroll
in Cyrillic they need to
good luck with that guys
I'm happy that we can still keep some english names
fresh wharf
Well, we've already translated some beer names, it sounds ok at least
I saw you did some translations too, Paladin
among them
dense valley
Yep, i translated one
fresh wharf
I translated at least 4 lol
dense valley
it'll take helluva time, i'm afraid
fresh wharf
that's really convenient
dense valley
it'll take helluva time, i'm afraid
i'll check others when i start to review your suggestions
fresh wharf
that's really convenient
dense valley
Looks like Discord is lagging
i'll check others when i start to review your suggestions
hallow sundial
its a mess trying to transfer puns and names from different language
kindred hill
i've been translating quotes for now
dense valley
Looks like Discord is lagging
hallow sundial
its a mess trying to transfer puns and names from different language
dense valley
DRESS TO IMPRESS - well, i LIKE things like that
kindred hill
indeed
fresh wharf
russian suffixes break any rhyme for the verb
dense valley
yep
kindred hill
yeah that sucks
fresh wharf
how about НАРЯЖАЙ И ПОРАЖАЙ
dense valley
It's about dressing themselves, not someone else
fresh wharf
yeah but that postfix at the end of first verb definitely breaks rhyme
it's better without it
kindred hill
yeah that's kind of a bummer
dense valley
НАРЯЖАЙСЯ. ВЫДЕЛЯЙСЯ
dense valley
it sounds like slogan of the some dress brand
fresh wharf
however there are russian rhymes that randomly appearing after translation like 'Будьте сильными и стильными.'
dense valley
Azgaraz Ale - isn't that a reference to a Warhammer FB series?
fresh wharf
I saw reference to WoW, so anything may happen
Alright, just got to the weapon tweaks
dense valley
I think we can translate Flintlocke's Delight as "Услада Кремнестрела", because it'll keep the wordplay in a name
fresh wharf
OK, I just saw that lastname in some contexts
guessed it could be familiar to some people
dense valley
Well, it definitely has a wordplay in it's origins. Some sort of speaking name, like those in Terry Pratchett's books
fresh wharf
Mods patch notes are still messed up, but don't worry I correct it for devs
dense valley
Well, you actually "dive" under the rock in the Droppod, not by yourself. So yeah, it's more likely a miner
Just like in Helldivers, it's more like wordplay
hallow sundial
Helldiver is a good game rip tho
fresh wharf
lol they even made new mistakes when getting these patch notes done
like talking about bouncy plasma in cryocannon section
fresh wharf
Well, it's obviously a typo
My beard grew so long after translating those patch notes, whew!
wicked scroll
gj
fresh wharf

wicked scroll
Ser pounce is pulling his beard on it right now
fresh wharf
Well, good luck to him, mainly they just rearranged some notes, and didn't forget to add existent features like throwing carriables
slim verge
Haven't seen much typo mistakes so far
but I'm concentrating on translations though so I might be missing them.
I'm halfway through.
fresh wharf
There was a bunch
fresh wharf
(in strings overall)
fresh wharf
Well, I just leave it to proofreader to check those one more time
slim verge
It really is MASSIVE
fresh wharf
I got 276 strings
fresh wharf
35959 length
slim verge
wait what
fresh wharf
(size)
slim verge
oh ok
fresh wharf
I mean.. amount of symbols
in cyrillic
it's obviously greater
somehow crowdin saying it was only 20226 symbols in ru and 16624 symbols originally
slim verge
okay
fresh wharf
we have a lot of passive translators who activate only during such periods
solid bough
like robots
fresh wharf
Indeed, some of them actually remind me of them.
vale geode

fresh wharf
Though they were answering there and were accepting criticism.
wicked scroll
A bit behind in term of pages left, 31 right now
I cleared some of the shorter to see more clearly

Well, I definitely should go sleep. Mb I'll join later so you still have the chance to be the first to finish.

Boomstick tweaks - Increased base stagger chance
Boomstick tweaks - Changed the stagger chance mod to a stagger duration mod
Boomstick tweaks - Blast-wave is now a base property of the Boomstick
Boomstick tweaks - The blast-wave mod now increases the base blast-wave damage
Engineer will carry 6 multi discharge grenades instead of 4
Mining is now forcibly stopped when you're grabbed by a grabber
Those might get into patch notes later

wicked scroll
yeah, the changelist on experimental might be added
don't look at it pounce, just don't
slim verge
guys
I have a question
There's this line for the GK2
"- Moved Quickfire Ejector mod to Tier 1 and increased its value for even faster reloads\r"
There's no Quickfire Ejector mod on the GK2.
(if you're wondering, I'm in the game right now looking at the mods)
So, is there something I'm missing or are the strings in complete disorder ?
because if that's so, I'm gonna stop translating the patchnotes 'til it's fixed.
I don't want to waste half of my time triple-checking everything xD
same again :
- Added a new damage mod to Tier 3 to take place of the relocated quickfire ejector\r
There's no tier 3 quickfire ejector mod. However, there's a high capacity magazine mod.
All this could have been coming from the boomstick, but the quickfire it tier 2, not 3.
So there's a bit of a confusion here.
@solid bough do you know anything about it ?
Is it related to some changes that doesn't appear in game, or are not implemented yet ?
or is it a simple confusion ?
solid bough
Might be confusion.
I know mods have been moved around
that might be for the Subata
slim verge
okay !
checking that RN
yeah
looks like it's for the subata
he does have the quickfire in T3
Well, I'm gonna add that to the Crowdin
Thank you and sorry for disturbing
solid nacelle
Any ideas on the "AS: " and "UL: "? "Unordered List" doesn't seem to fit within game context...
wicked scroll
so far no idea
slim verge
Okay
found something else
The string for the mod "Improved Ergonomics" doesn't exist.
Like
It's not showing at all in Crowdin.
I can only find it in the patchnotes n°25
Can a moderator make sure those little problems are also carried over to the ears of the dev teams ? (I don't know if they check every tiny bit of conversation on the discord so there's that)
wicked scroll
maybe more in #experimental-bug-discussion
slim verge
I'll do that, thanks.
fresh wharf
'We'll have a round of Tunnel Rats. And leave the tails in, Lloyd!'
lol
'Some Rats from the tap, Lloyd!'
dense valley
Dvarves can eat stones, according to some strings. So, rats aren't that strange
slim verge
You eat what you can once you're deep down there 👀
gray arrow
we should make a spreadsheet with approved name translations for all languages someday
dense valley
...and noone ever gonna read it. All the new translators always think they are know better how to translate things
wicked scroll
Dwarves love rats in terry pratchet's the discworld. I guess the inspiration came from there for that beer 🙂
dense valley
I think many inspiration came from there, Discworld is awesome
i'm sure i have seen some references before
wicked scroll
I have some books left to read. I took a halt and read some other stuffs because I would have finished reading them all in less than a year if i didn't.
gray arrow
I see that all the time you play lul
Also we should be able to pin things in our language local channels
To not cry for a mod to do it every time
wicked scroll
🤔 I don't know if you can configure discord to allow a certain role to have pin's right on only a certain channel
gray arrow
🤔
short abyss
?????????
wicked scroll
Okay just checked, yeah you can assign certain roles to have access to pin/deleting only on a channel
solid bough
how? 
wicked scroll
right click on chan, add an existing role and give privileges
but that gives pin + deleting, not only pin
gray arrow
Since we have to have a role given for continuous productive activity channel griefing is not a problem
Even though i did not really translate things before...
But it's just for u25 because of its size
wicked scroll
I'm pulling my air on a lot of the new strings
I will end up bald before I finish 😄
gray arrow
We need a counter of community's overall beard growth per update
Like, devs grew X meters of hair making the game, translators grew Y translating things, all scouts grew total Z kiting flying around without ammo at last stages of DDs
neon canyon
Hello people, do u know who is the proofreader for portuguese?
neon canyon
I asked because in one of the pinned message (of this channel) where it showed all the active proofreaders in discord I didn't find the portuguese one.
But anyway, thanks m8
gray arrow
does Crowdin subscription type limit number of files for a project?
olive tundra
Limits strings
olive tundra
Types?
gray arrow
different files for shouts, for OC descriptions, for MC guy lines
etc
would probably speed up error tracking
olive tundra
Aye
short abyss
Best thing you can do is search by context
gray arrow
yeah i can
but separation would decrease mistake rate for newcomers and probably not take that much time
i mean, strings in their original DB are already sorted by types and sources
wicked scroll
Question for the devs, regarding some new things we can read through the added strings and since it is rather difficult to come up with decent names without a visual, what are the estimated dates to push all the new translations into the game ?
Because I'm reading a lot of things for U26, but i can't imagine how everything look/work
I'm mostly talking about ||new enemies like the Kursite thing||
any additional descriptive or visual would hugely help for most of them I think.
wicked scroll
i was using spoilers for a reason ^^
gray arrow
ah who reads this apart from us anyways
wicked scroll
newcomers that are a bit lost ?
gray arrow
gray arrow
yeah
maybe they are going to release these in a month
so they decided to throw everything as a single piece
hallow sundial
||Probably the same for the beers, we may get beer recipes from the machine events and cargo crates||
hallow sundial
Yeah but we are supposed to put them as spoilers
wicked scroll
Okay, my dumbass just figured that ||Kursite are a new mineral-thingy and not an enemy|| Thanks to Pock
covert cobalt
Yeah that is for the ||machine events, it's the stuff shown in the trailer when they collected stuff from enemies||
wicked scroll
Oh in U25 trailer ? didn't pay enough attention
hallow sundial
||l’analyser is most likely that tower we saw in the trailer, with the lasers||
covert cobalt
Well there is voice lines refencing it in the game files already
Will try find them again
hallow sundial
ooh thats how its said
fresh wharf

hallow sundial
||Must ne that stone golem we saw in the trailer, the giant glyphid with rocks all over him||
vale geode
@neon canyon hey, there is no active portuguese proofreader atm
neon canyon
😢
solid nacelle
there also isn't a german one. doesn't matter, apparently if no "confirmed" string for a translation exists the most upvoted suggestion get's used. Which means: if you suggest something, it will certainly be in the game unless someone else actively suggests something else.
slim verge
"Jumbo Shells"
Found them in real life, but not sure it can helps with aliens though 👀
https://www.barilla.com/en-us/products/pasta/classic-blue-box/jumbo-shells
More seriously, I suppose jumbo is used in a way to mean "very heavy" or "very big" ?
Thing is : I can't decide which way is intended one.
slim verge
Dear Developpers, I love your game, it's very cool and funny and I also love word play...
BUT DAMN THOSE ARE SO HARD TO TRANSLATE (of they can ever be translated, that is)

@gray arrow, это DarthPointer, как слышно?

Great, you are here
We now have separate channels for different languages
Tommygun gave me and coupla other guys translator role temporarily so we have acess to that, will ask to do same for you in a moment

nice!

Great, you have it. Check the pins now

We are done with russian strings!

proofreading is still a thing
kindred hill
i am still effing useless

dont get happy
kindred hill
yeah we should probably check it from time to time
will this finally get me the translator role
...eh...forget it
gray arrow
Bias ~= rotation
fresh wharf
🤔
gray arrow
I restructured that a bit cuz straight translation would look weird and awkward
Soviya's strings also need double check because she named Union chapters lije actual chapters of a book
kindred hill
Wouldn’t it be something like...direction-related thing
fresh wharf
'Путём смещения высвобождаемой энергии' sounds better

yeah, it's better

Not literal but close enough...I guess

@wicked scroll heya, we chatted on Crowdin. I followed the link you gave me (https://discordapp.com/channels/257785731072786435/407086800075489281/624654846934384695) but I can't react to the message to get the FR translator role. Carl-bot says I'm not eligible
wicked scroll
Oh 🤔 I will need to ask jacob or another mod on that, but since it's sunday, let's not ping anyone
their day off ^^
In the meantime, if you need anything you can ask me or Ser Pounce, we are the two proofreaders
hybrid lake
kk ! I'll wait to have access to the channel before continuing to translate
I already corrected several mistakes in my own translations by following the ruleset you sent me
wicked scroll
🙂
We will still need to do a full review at the end anyway, I know i let pass a few mistakes that would look better with some harmonization.
like plate-forme/plateforme, or s'il-te-plaît/s'il te plaît/s'il vous plaît for Lloyd
and too many capitalized letters too
won't take as long as the first proofreading we did with Ser Pounce tho
wicked scroll
Ser Pounce and I as frenchs, Radioactibe Pock as canadian
since there is differences it is harder for Pock
who speak mainly english
How many for you on Ru translations thalber ?
gray arrow
Seven i think
kindred hill
good question is do you count me,for example,
gray arrow
Sentro, Vooker, Paladin, me, DarthPointer, Soviya, Meem and Shrade
gray arrow
That's just me inviting every single rando i meet on crowdin here
wicked scroll
Yeah i send invitations too
kindred hill
i mean,that works,too
wicked scroll
easier to coordinate here and harmonize the translations
gray arrow
Tommygun will remove roles for me, Soviya, Darth and Shrade since we are not really supposed to have it
wicked scroll
before that, enemies had 3-4 names each, some drink were translated, drop pod had a few different names, etc
gray arrow
I think no
kindred hill
not yet,at least
digital olive
I say cuz I like to check out different audio translations for fun
kindred hill
even though that'd be fun
digital olive
and how good/bad they are
short abyss
imagine
gray arrow
I really hope they'll do it tho
kindred hill
same
short abyss
imagine how fuckin big the game would be
wicked scroll
oh so because of the accident you absolutely need the role to get into a language channel ?
fresh wharf
I'd say incident
digital olive
for that issue precisely
kindred hill
it was a misunderstanding...mostly
wicked scroll
don't know, wasn't here
kindred hill
google translate really doesn't work well with humor and mods rarely even care about such things
gray arrow
Let's not talk about such upsetting stuff in a service channel
Well not really service one, it's open, but still
wicked scroll
still related to translation only
but i thought jacob only restricted the access to ru channel
sucks that i can't get new peeps into fr
gray arrow
Because you have translator role lol
fresh wharf
Ah alright
wicked scroll
you need double role to enter a channel
meaning nobody can enter without a mod permission
fresh wharf
well that has its pros
it's either you give people manage roles permission in single hierarchy or leave it to mods
I think discord should use tree structure for roles
wicked scroll
I was happy with community translator being given only to people who earned it
gray arrow
Maybe a "trial translator" role would be a good thing
