We have a bot that gives these roles for reactions under Jacob's pin
It could just give langlocal roles when an approved commands it to do so
fresh wharf
And we had to ask Tater about that
wicked scroll
that's why community translator role should be only given to people who earned it
Jacob gave it to me
gray arrow
When i think of it making new role isn't even necessary, just make a bot give roles on commands not pins
wicked scroll
but i agree, anyone should be able to join a translation, with community translators managing each section
fresh wharf
At the other hand, they made working separate channels for translators quite quickly
hallow sundial
cream of the crop
boreal quest
So, what if I can't translate "Totally AXEceptable!" to keep the pun? Can I just make up a phrase to refer to the axe being thrown?
hallow sundial
the best would be an axe pun about an axe being thrown
boreal quest
I am trying hard to find a pun.
hallow sundial
which language
wicked scroll
some puns are really really hard to translate
boreal quest
Hungarian. I am trying to think of something, but I am not sure I can come up with something related to an axe.
hallow sundial
try your best but dont burn yourself out on it, some puns are impossible to translate
wicked scroll
if you can't use the word axe, try with something related to cutting wood
also, it's easier to think about puns when you haven't burnt yourself with 200+ trads in a row 😄
so leave them for later
boreal quest
I am the lone sailor on this boat.
hallow sundial
the best way to figure out puns translations is shower thoughts
boreal quest
Hard not to get burnout.
wicked scroll
word of advice, take it slow
hallow sundial
we cant really help with the hungarian wording but if you need help we are here for you
wicked scroll
i got a burnout after translating 20k words in 4 days
took more than a week to get back to it
hallow sundial
Mist and Ser are hardcore compared to me
boreal quest
I have this really really bad mindset that I want everything to be perfect from the start.
But I know I can't do that.
So I am trying to make it reasonable.
wicked scroll
hallow sundial
that you can take as much time as you want
boreal quest
But then I noticed issues with the general Hungarian translation and wording and I don't know where to go.
wicked scroll
translating 5k words/day is not the best way to deal with it
oh
and from the start, we did a list of every enemies, weapons, biomes, etc
boreal quest
The biggest is formal/informal language. It's massively different.
wicked scroll
it is a really HUGE help
boreal quest
And all the text are in informal, even MC's.
So I went with that, only to be told that MC should be informal towards the dwarves.
hallow sundial
are you the main translator?
boreal quest
I just started like a fortnight ago and I all the approved and submitted translations are months old.
Some almost a year.
hallow sundial
take some time to create ground rules like the names of things
so everything is the same
wicked scroll
a lot of the french translations were 2 years old and a huge part was some random bot translations
hallow sundial
it will make it easier in the future
wicked scroll
a huge mess
boreal quest
I might be the only one doing it, not for sure, but I settled with "Mélyugrás" as Deep Dive. Which is kind of literally what it is.
I have nobody else to discuss it with, so I am like 🤷
wicked scroll
we translated to abyssal dive
boreal quest
Eventually I can talk about it with someone.
boreal quest
Lootbug is translated to Treasurebug, which is weird, but it was approved once, so I am confused.
wicked scroll
well, approved translations aren't always right
hallow sundial
what does the words for bug and loot look like when written seperate?
in french its "Insecte de butin"
wicked scroll
à butin ^^
hallow sundial
je sais pas je suis pas chez moi la
but yeah, try giving everything names
we are here to help
boreal quest
I guess I should use that thing that was linked, where there was a glossary of approved term translations.
wicked scroll
best way to start
do a glossary, set up rules
ask anyone you meet on crowdin to refer to them
hallow sundial
hey mist, can you show him how to make a post similar to your where you have all the names for the things?
boreal quest
I am totally unfamiliar with Crowding, so any help I can get I very much appreciate.
boreal quest
Apparently there was one started two years ago, and that was that.
And I gave it a check, the proofreader for DRG had no activity of any kind on crowdin since Feb 18, 2019.
I have no idea what to do and if I should do it.
fresh wharf
Why did you suddenly start translating the whole game text with your friends, Mist?
Was there some good occasion?
wicked scroll
I started alone ^^
And I use the english version
never opened the french one
met ser pounce on crowdin and pock on discord
but no particular reason except i wanna help the devs
i was curious at the translation, saw it was a mess, so i rolled up my sleeves and get to it
hallow sundial
you deserve a medal
wicked scroll
I got a role, that's enough for me ^^
boreal quest
I noticed that the game has some core playerbase from certain countries, which is rather nice.
It's interesting to me where people play a game like DRG.
wicked scroll
"Sand storms is a necessary evil. They can peal a dwarf to his bones, but also shape precious Enor Pearls."
Is that a reference to anything ?
hybrid lake
Dunno but it should read "Sand storms ARE a necessary evil" to begin with :/
wicked scroll
not an obligation, it's for pinning/deleting messages in the french channel
olive tundra
Professional ones maybe 🤔
gray arrow
Crowdin project description says there once were some of them but idk when exactly
slim verge
Translator is actually a profession so yes
but it's very NOT well paid. For the record, at the (high) price of 0.12€ per words translated, the whole translation of the game already done (in every language) is only worth 193€.
It's 161 000+ words.
So to make a living out of it, you literally have to make people pay way higher than the normal price or you just won't have time to do anything else.
wicked scroll
it pays better when you work for a company than on freelance like that
translating official documents for gov/banks pays pretty well
but you need to speak fluently both administrative language
so, a lot of work before getting there, and it's not for anyone
slim verge
@wicked scroll there's no company for translation. It's all in Freelance. Interpret pays a lot better though.
Who you're working for makes the difference as you pointed out.
But you're still in freelance, with taxes associated with it.
You're still not making BIG money out of it most of the time. It's quite a struggle.
solid bough
I've done some translations - It's decent pay if you're good and fast, but your translations has to be near flawless.
slim verge
Well it also depends from where you live though.
honest sun
Generally, localization in top languages is paid normally. Depends of devs and publishers, of course. and the place of living either.
This game starrted from normal amount of words and they hired a localisation company, but something went wrong and they changed policy to freelance with 1-4 copy as reward.
Nowadays, when amount reached this line, I don't know… people just continues their work…
As for Ukrainian, most of work done by my friend and me (but, must admit, he puts 90%, when I'm a bit less)
Truly, he is a fan of the game)
And, putting such important topic away😂
Why is Nayaka Trawler got two string as a Sand Shark? @solid bough?
And is it he or she? some language is dependent of this.
honest sun
@warped whale, thats i saw, but he or she?

new strings appeared -> new strings translated

Wait wut
Does this mean that all changes made past that point will only be applied next patch after the update
Or is it just an internal build

where are the strings for mission titles
the [Noun/Adjective] + [Noun/Adjective]

is this that any sort of translation related 🤔

The first word is general therefore it has to be general
hallow sundial
It’s babel

ffs I moved it to drg chat thinking that was general
gray arrow
they are at the same level of general
fresh wharf
How unified stats strings harm localizations:
1 string stands after other strings or right in the beginning
so no way you make right decision about whether leave it with capital letter or with small one
And there is only 1 string that can be edited
And then it applies to different weapons
wicked scroll
Did the Breach cutter was renamed Linecutter ?
fresh wharf
yes, in the context bc is linecutter
but in the game it's still bc
but that 1 string about forge item is also called linecutter
fresh wharf
hallow sundial
How did you guys translate the string "angry stick part"
slim verge
Does anyone know if the strings are supposed to appear like that ?
"we forge the strongest Dwarves to face the darkest challenges.\n\nJoin us if you have what it takes to protect your fellow Dwarves and if you don’t fear the dangers that lay beneath!"
I don't know what the \n stands for but it"s a bit weird to have it like that in the middle
warped whale
@hallow sundial You mean "/Game/GameElements/GameEvents/GuntowerEvent/" parts? it's all placeholder for now, you don't need to translate it
slim verge
@warped whale that's good to know. Thanks !
honest sun
for god's sake, another 6k.
slim verge
😄
so close and yet so far
it's fine though
It's mostly the corrected strings, including the patch notes
that's why it's 6K words
Buut I've just realised they took out the patch notes so I can't C/C my translation apparently
...
for real ?
I wrote 26k characters and I just have to rewrite the whole thing now.
Awesome.

Are they short on words rn 🤔
slim verge
If you translated the patch notes, congrats
you have to do it all over again.
Hope you had a back-up version

well gg
I didn't
It thought they could just edit the whole thing
but apparently not
warped whale
they just added new line for assignment
fresh wharf
Patch notes are still messed up in mods part and don't contain some significant changes from experimental builds' patch notes
And if anyone's wondering - the only difference between Xbox patch notes and Steam patch notes is miners union part
limber yarrow
You can check the context and the string source
It says it is a shout
And the entire string is "Blast and Damnation, there's trawlers here!"
So I guess you're right

Hi, my mother tongue is french and I'm a developer irl, although I don't work in gamedev. Need any help for the french translations or you got enough contributors?
hybrid lake
@pseudo mantle all original content has been translated in FR so far (except for the latest patch notes, which will be handled by @slim verge if it goes as planned)
But with the massive amount of new duplicate french strings, I guess we could use some help confirming them
pseudo mantle
ok then :p I'll take a look later or during the w-e
solid bough
The new strings might be a bug in Crowdin. Apparently we hit a limit, but it didn't really stop anything. They're looking into it.
Please wait with any further translations, until we know what's wrong.
solid bough
Can anyone see if the issue is fixed and/or if anything has been lost?
hybrid lake
everything is back to normal on french translation
solid bough
We might have lost 13 strings that was translated in the last 24 hours, but that's it.
from the looks of it

this means I don't have to rewrite the patchnotes ?
nvm, I still have to 😄

were they lost? 😦

I lost the french translation of the patchnoites N°25 yeah

They're technically in the game. We might be able to recover that for you.

Hopefully, good luck Ser!

That would be nice xD
mystic nimbus
Is all the translating everyone has done updated with Update 25? Just wondering. Got a complaint from my Turkish friend saying she still sees a few untranslated. Getting images for it later.
slim verge
Can't really tell. We didn't finished approving everything on time so some strings didn't make it.
But it wouldn't surprise to see a few missing translation here and there
solid bough
@slim verge When did you add the translated patch notes?
slim verge
let me check
I think it was the 20th ?
double checking
Okay, I finished the patch notes the 21th at 05h45 am
I confirm
solid bough
we might be able to get it back, but we have to revert to an older version and then back to the latest one.

@honest sun Yes, unfortunately, some of Russian translators make a low-effort suggestions without even spell-checking them, and I simply can't look after all of them because of the lack of spare time. I'll be much appreciated if you or everyone else who find a suggestions with mistakes will notify me with a link on a wrong translation, so i can fix it.

A question to translators! When you translated "Deep Dive" did you literally translated it, as if a person is diving into a pool from a diving board, or does it have a connotation of going in deep trouble?
fresh wharf
I tried to translate this 2nd way but 1st option turned out to be correct according to:
As a promoted Dwarf you have been deemed worthy to get special access to weekly Deep Dives - three consecutive seeded missions, where ammunition and health carries over to the next mission. In Deep Dives you will have to complete two objectives in each stage and chances for encountering Mutators are very high. Each of the three stages of a Deep Dive will grant you rewards upon completion, ranging from minerals to the new Matrix Cores.
Each of the three stages of a Deep Dive
just translate it similar to diving into water, there you can have different stages in one dive depending on depth

Hi guys. New member here. I was wondering if there is a dev member here I can speak with about spanish localisation of the game. Do they often interact with you guys?
Would you advise me to contact anyone in particular by PM? I will appreciate any help regarding this 🙂
wicked scroll
You can ask here, I know jacob will eventually read and answer your question 🙂
leaden sapphire
thank you, @wicked scroll , good to know 🙂
I would like to know if there is any possibility to apply as a proofreader of a language. I have tried contacting the project owner and had no reply, and the spanish project is almost finished (a few strings with only a few context descriptions to be clarified). The proofreading is going somehow slow and the patch notes or event notes being translated never get to be approved on time so that they can be readable when appropriate. Having surpassed the 30k word barrier, I would like to know if there is a chance to bring this to a different level and start approving strings and correcting some consistency issues being currently present within the project.
Also, will suggest to close the Spanish (modern) project, since it will actually just translate the same as the spanish one (it only affects alphabet, nothing related to the writing...Spanish from Latin America could for example be a good choice to add, since most latin fellows wont agree on our spain translations, and giving them the chance to have their project would be a much greater advance towards that gaming community).
honest sun
@leaden sapphire i can grant you without Jacob. But you must give all your beer to me.
Anyway, can't resolve different languages issue thought.
If you agree, then whisper your Crowdin nickname
but, approving doesn't push texts into the game, you know? It's just simple mark of quality someway (not always)
wicked scroll
approving puts the translation above the one with the most upvotes, so it will end up in the game tho
limber yarrow
I am the proofreader for Spanish, and yes.. it's been quite slow because I wasn't very active, also because I was waiting for more translators to join here so we can discuss some names/strings etc
there has been a couple of times where the name of a glyphid is translated differently
but both make sense
and I didn't want to just delete some else's translation and use the other
and sometimes I go into crowdin to fix bad translations I come up in the game xD like "reviving progress" was translated as "recupera el progreso"
which was somehow approved by another proofreader almost 6 months ago
leaden sapphire
@honest sun thank you for that. I will be glad to be part o the proofreading team for sure. I will let you know about my nickname soon. Thanks for that.
I do know they are not out into the game straightforward. I am proofreader in other projects and know it's a slow process. But having them approved or having the chance to approve them once discussed with other proofreaders is always an advantage.
@limber yarrow nice to meet you! A pleasure to have you around. So then you are darklinux hehe. It will be my pleasure to discuss with you the translations before approval. I can help you with everything I have at hand so thst we speed things up. Please my apologies if it felt like I was calling your work "slow". Nothing like that was intended. You are doing a great job and will be my pleasure to keep helping you.
And yes, I commented that some approved translations were bad and had no coherence or consistency. Like the same word translated in two different ways and approved.
So @limber yarrow , do we ask for a Spanish channel to be created here? Do we create our own discord? What will you prefer?
limber yarrow
Check the pinned message from Jacob

thank you very much, @slim verge and @kindred hill ! hope you guys are having a good day
kindred hill
you,too
leaden sapphire
who do you guys think I should contact for such role assignment? any mod or is there an specific one?
@nova walrus sorry for pinning you in. I am a newcomer to this Discord group, and as a translator and proofreader in the spanish localisation of DRG I would like to join the spanish group for discussions. I cannot access it by clicking on spanish flag in the appropriate pinned message from the devs, getting "You are not eligible for roles from that message". Can I get any help from you on that matter? Maybe I need a role being assigned prior to doing that? I would be happy to receive any help on this matter.
wicked scroll
giraffey, I think you can give the role without the community translator role
nova walrus
ok
wicked scroll
but either works
also, I didn't saluted you properly, but welcome aboard @leaden sapphire and good luck with translating 🙂

@nova walrus no idea. Can wait if you cant make it work now anyway.

do you see the channel now? i just gave you the spanish translator role directly @leaden sapphire
leaden sapphire
yeah! I do. Thanks a lot!
nova walrus
you're welcome!

ight imma head out
leaden sapphire
see ya later then
tired bobcat
I can help with the spanish translation too if you need help
leaden sapphire
@tired bobcat we have the spanish (spain) completely translated, just needs approval. The spanish (LatAm) (called Spanish (modern) in Crowdin) still needs tons of help, so if you want to join that team, go ahead! Im sure @limber yarrow will appreciate a lot of the help you can put in that.
He wanted to take the approved strings from the spanish (Spain) and convert them to the appropriate dialects in LatAm, so I'm sure he will appreciate having good strings already when starting to migrate strings 🙂

i was bothered by the very poor quality of the danish translations, so i joined here and i'll see if i can get involved tomorrow
hi everyone
short abyss
yes
leaden sapphire
Hi @light kernel , hope you have a good time fixing errors there. I know the feeling, but remember it's not always easy to obtain high quality in crowdfunded translations. You dont have professional services, you mostly have players who know the language and that range from 10 to ¿60? years old. Their language is very different. And proofreaders are not paid for their role and most of the times they have a hard time fixing the mistakes from everyone getting no rewards.
Please do understand their situation. However, I agree that a product of bad quality has to be fixed, and if you know how to do it, then go ahead and highlight yourself as a great translator 🙂 🙂
Have fun!!

@light kernel welcome aboard fellow translator
light kernel
i'm onboard with the duplicate strings, sometimes; the many strings that just say "kick" for every kickable object encourages some variety and wit
but if you can't tell from the filenames or whatever, you have absolutely no context for any of them
source strings that have been reported to have errors in them years ago haven't been touched
and i'm not sure how to agree on what to call things, but maybe that's the kind of thing that just happens over time
DRG, improve the quality of life for your translators!
leaden sapphire
I can feel you there
I dont even know much about devs, only the kind guy who accepted me as proofreader when reading me here. I'm sure we will be talking to nice people if given the chance. They might be overwhelmed with their own things.
Hopefully we can at some stage contact them closely and get to know more about their plans on localisation. That is, how much we need for the translations to be implemented, if we can test them and correct them in subssequent patches (about that, I would love to discuss what they mentioned it would be a "present" for those translating a good part of the files, since that "present" would be lovely to have to test)...
And I even would like to ask a few other questions myself about translations, to see if this help can somehow help me further in building my professional profile (perhaps other games to translate and so on...). Time will say, just stay around, Im sure they will look at us with great eyes 🙂
honest sun
@light kernel just translate correct into your language and test ingame.youu can contact Jacob here, he in charge someway.
@leaden sapphire they tried to make a professional localisation years ago and something went wrong > we appeared. On this milestone of the game things going such way, that probably we can't receive texts from test branch -> they are changing it very often. Maybe something will change next year.
leaden sapphire
Well, then let's wait and see then. Not like I consider my localisation efforts worse than a "professional localisation", I am just not paid but providing a similar service hehehe.
However, they displayed that after certain percentage, a copy of the game would be a prize for those reaching an importan translation milestone. And I feel like this could be a nice gift for my godson. Not sure if Ghost Ship people still have that reward idea in mind, but if I can gain professional experience and have a little gift to this little guy who's more intelligent that 90% of the rest of my family, then why not 🙂
Thanks for all the info, btw, Sergii
honest sun
@solid bough please, look up👆

Hi @leaden sapphire - we're still planning to reward the translations. Personally I'm voting to lower the percentage tier needed, as we've added a lot more text recently, which skewed the amount of text needed to reach it. It will take some work to fix.
In regards to our plans, I believe the plan is to have everything proofread professionally at the very end, ensuring the quality of the translations to the extent it is possible. Everyone is doing a real good job at contributing, and we're very happy with the effort and interest in getting the game to support more languages.
leaden sapphire
Thank you very much for responding, @solid bough . I am very glad to hear that, and I hope you can keep pushing the good work and getting a nice professional success out of it. I'm sure most translators will be very happy to leave their footprint on the game, and that will speed things up for you as well, although I know proofreading work is not easy when it comes to homogeinizing stuff (I am currently proofreading all by myself the Hypixel server in Minecraft, and Proofreading/QA is the most complex part of it, since it was also a Crowdin project and we all know how this works if translators do not speak with each other).
Now, speaking for myself, thank you very much for clarifying about the reward. I am happy to see I can still access it for a present.
I will be sincere with you: I havent bought the game just yet, because I usually tend to check if devs are really interested in the transation process and a subsequent QA/Testing stage. Some developers have never been kind to me, but most have. The products I deliver is, of what I believe to be of high quality (especially now that I am proofreader of the project), and therefore I would recommend not to re-check with professional services at a later stage. It might be a waste of time and money, but do as you wish if you doubt aout credentials.
Considering this, I am more than ready to continue with the proofreading of the project and subsequent testing in-game to correct possible bugs and others related to the translation. Would you be happy if I do that as well?
I would be happy to continue the talk in private, and provide further translation credentials if you need so 🙂 Thanks in any case for your time responding here. And sorry for the huge text. This is a great project and I want to be sure devs want me to stay here as a proofreader 🙂

translator question
do you translate names
or no
(Glyphid, Q'Ronar, Naedoctyte)
usually its a no for things like Windows
but im on the fence for here
buoyant dagger
If the devs made up the name or it's something like a brand, then no.
At least that's my opinion
honest sun
some of them have an equals, than whyNot?
leaden sapphire
I am translating those, @short abyss . But not losing the original essence so that its another idea. That means, "Glyphid" becomes "Glífido" or "Naedocyte" becoming "Naedocito". However, there are names like "Q'Ronar" which cannot be converted to my own language, and so they remain as such.
leaden sapphire
As I said, it depends on your language. If in your language, a word like "Q'Ronar-oid" would make sense, then go ahead, which is what its done on Glyphids and Naedocytes. If it doesnt make sense, leave it as it is. That's what I would recommend
It always depend on the way you can play with your language 🙂
honest sun
yup, we can localize everything that not in the guideline from devs... oh, we haven't them🤣
leaden sapphire
That would also help. It's usually very helpful for translators. I suspect they did not think it was possible that translation teams will build so fast and professionally, and will eventually use other professional translators with those guidelines. But it's clear that we can save them time and money, and hope they consider that positively 🙂
light kernel
@honest sun how do you test in-game?
honest sun
@light kernel after they pushing texts ingame) and I'm not a tester, my laptop can't play DRG. But we have strong community where streamers and gamers put our attention to issues

so basically wait until the next update

We are sure you have done your best to be available for the project. We all have a life, so take it easy and come back whenever you can. That will always help you giving the best for the translations (if you do it while in a rush, lots of mistranslations can happen).

japanese seems to get special treatment for fonts that can't display it, while korean doesn't
this is also visible in the startup screen, where the supporter strip under the updates has a different font in japanese, but on the korean one it just has some awkward spacing and a single "!" because it can't render the korean symbols

Hello everyone, wanted to do something for the game, and so, I would like to participate in the french translation of DRG. You can find me as (newly created account) LeFrogPilot on crowdin. Rock and Stone.
leaden sapphire
@latent wadi welcome to the group. Do your best to give your best translations to the game. I'm sure you will provide a nice new gameplay to french players. I can help a bit if necessary (my french is not perfect, but have lived for 2 years there so I consider myself quite ok in translating for a game hehe)
Rock and Stone!!
latent wadi
Many thanks for the warm welcome. Do not worry, I think I've got the grasp of things. I've been 'dusting' some simple translations this afternoon, and i'm slowly watching page after page of translation. I got the idea after one of my friends complained about some minor issues on the french client (I played on an English client until now so I wasn't bothered) and so I decided to assist the DRG community
leaden sapphire
Good job, that's the spirit and that is how things advance for a game
latent wadi
Also, you can talk to me in English, i'm fluent 🙂
leaden sapphire
Your community will be very happy with your work, I'm sure
However, do consider that we are not sure about how do the language updates happen here. We all translate, but we dont have a way things are updated on the server. So take your time even when finished, it make take DRG team some time to upload them
In any case, welcome! Work hard on it! Rock and Stone...and a beer, please 🙂

@wicked scroll / @Nito#2914 hi guys, I've been roaming the french translation section this afternoon, and put in some propositions, could you have a look please?
oh, it appears Nito left!
wicked scroll
Hoy, thanks we will look into that with @slim verge
Was it related to u25-26 strings, that aren't confirmed yet, or previous strings? With so many in the games it gets kinda hard to find them again.
you created issues for each new translation ?
latent wadi
i'm actually going through the entire french translation as of now, and pointing out errors, or proposing minor modifications
i'm fairly new with the crowndin tool, but it think i didn't mess up too much 🙂
wicked scroll
@native token could you give @latent wadi rights to the #french-drg channel please ?
Crowdin is pretty straight forward, but it lacks option to sort strings
latent wadi
yeah there's a lot of false positives, like "L 2" or "12"
wicked scroll
like if i sort by issues, it will show me every strings with an issue, disregarding the language where the issue is
wicked scroll
but it's still easier than reading again 6000+ strings trying to see if there is a new translation proposed or not 😄
latent wadi
:^)
wicked scroll
LeFrogPilot ?
latent wadi
okay, i'm at page 16, I'll leave it there and call it a day. I'll resume tomorrow my journey towards page 44 of the translation
yes?
what is it?
wicked scroll
ok just checking
wicked scroll
i have reports of every issue you signaled, so it's all good 🙂
I hope a moderator will give you access to #french-drg to discuss each case, it's easier
latent wadi
i imagine
buoyant dagger
No u
native token
isn't there a bot giving out translator roles?
wicked scroll
only if you have translator role already :/
community translator is needed to access the bot

oh yeah so we don't have another MeeM situation

something like that yeah
don't know what happened in that channel but first time i saw jacob angry

I think I make him angry every second day

but jacob's a sweetheart
slim verge
Be nice to Jacob 😐
buoyant dagger
What's that you say? Bully jacob with sad cat pictures?
latent wadi
Not for the faint hearted!
thorny snow
How do u interpretation "Just...handle with care, they're liable to take your eye out."?
Does this really mean take the eye ball out?
Or it means that something you saw or are doing has, in some way, become so painful that you would rather not see it?
buoyant dagger
No it means it will literally destroy your eyeball to the point of it either being physically removed from your skull, or it no longer being of any use.
wicked scroll
what's the context of that phrase ?
leaden sapphire
It must be a weapon or an object with a particularly destructive power that, if you don't handle with care, you might trigger its power (press the trigger, the wrong button, the zone of the object you shouldn't press...) accidentally.
And you know what happens when triggering something accidentally: you might get hurt. And getting hurt means, for example, that the accidentally fired bullet ends up in your eye, destroying it.
So yes, it must mean "handle with care or you will get hurt badly if you don't"

Hello everyone, I have a question on a topic that may be important for players : Is this string about the warm "Rock Oasis" that you find in the glacial strata?
Currently, when you ping one of these, it's written "common rock". If this is indeed about these warm spots, I find that naming it simply common rock prevents players from indicating to their team mates where to warm up

@sweet mural sorry im busy nowadays. cant translate new stuff. some1 else need to take over the turkish language.

I dont know if it's the right place but can I give a subjection of translation of one enemy in the French version of the game?
in the french version of the game, the glyphid warden is name "glyphid gardien" it's really close the french name of the glyphid grunt guard "glyphid gard" in french, so suggest to rename "glyphid gardien" into "glyphid sentinelle" for be less confusing for the french players

we'll be keeping in touch with devs for the missing strings.

yeah, I received reports about that untranslated line this afternoon on the french-speaking DRG discord (I rarely play scout so I didn't notice until now 🤷)

Yes, I think that is the best way to proceed. We are doing that as well with spanish: first translate what is uploaded, and then do an exhaustive QA

All Gantries on the Space Rig finally play footprint sounds!
What are those gantries?
@solid bough it seems like that guy Google translated U26 patch notes for lots of languages, did a lot of english to english translations and uhmm... it seems like he also autotranslated strings In Dutch, French and other langs
https://crowdin.com/profile/boby23/activity
latent wadi
Yep, we were talking about him yesterday on the French translation channel.
I was planning on translating the patchnotes, and when I saw that this guy proposed a translation within hours of the update, it was clear that he used a translation software (not mentioning the mistakes).
Maybe it comes from a good intention.
But the issue is, it doesn't help or do anything besides of being a bit annoying.
But heh, whatever.
It's not a big deal
fresh wharf
What may that good intention be when he does lots of same english to english translations then
latent wadi
🤷
"Maybe"
Provided everybody is aware of these translations, it's not an issue. But if it stays unchecked and slips into the game, yes it's an issue.
fresh wharf
He also translates regular strings so you just HAVE TO check his translations manually to finish translations
instead of just translating untranslated
it'd be way better if his translation could be just deleted
latent wadi
Then, may it be possible that this is a bot and not a person??
fresh wharf
bot needs to be written and it also has some purpose
what's the purpose of google translating stuff besides stupidity
fresh wharf
someone who thinks that number of translated words is all that requires for getting reward
latent wadi
Oh snap, that's a good point
fresh wharf
but since english to english is so popular case to cheat words everyone is aware about that
and we don't really have many translators so it's easy to spot new ones and check them
latent wadi
That's so dumb...
But yeah, I guess some people are capable of anything for some street cred'
That makes sense
slim verge
It's also a way to grow profile stats and say "look, I have worked a lot"
latent wadi
That's sad
slim verge
big level of translation
between the HORRIBLE mistakes and the sentence not translated.
Nice botting indeed.
Wish I could kick people botting in the Crowdin project.
It's just adding more work to fix their mistakes.
latent wadi
He is not downvoting other translations I hope?
slim verge
he's not
But there's so many mistakes
I still have to translate
AND on top of that, I have to watch out for mistakes
some of them are so bad, it's very obvious it's just a bot translating.
we have them with each new patch notes.
latent wadi
At least, this guy did not broke the pagination 😂
solid bough
Is he responding?
slim verge
No, he's not been around since a few months now
I just hope he won't come back. He was utterly destroying the layout on every patchnotes
it was terrible
(and the translation was completely off, of course)
Anyway, @latent wadi I'm putting some translation in priority
See it in the channel
Btw, does anyone know what "CRSPR" stands for in the flame-thrower name ?

okay, thanks

This type of translators are everywhere
They use translation machines or Google suggestions
Thst way, even if not accepted, it counts as words translates for their profiles
What I usually do is to delete their suggestion if it has very clear mistakes based on machine translation
Proofreaders can take care of that
But yes, it's a nightmare to work with those

He was nuked.
We could see he was also contributing to other projects - apparently Crowdin lets you see his entire history.

@leaden sapphire that's what I was doing but it's faster to just get rid of them if we can.
leaden sapphire
@slim verge indeed
slim verge
@solid bough Yep, I saw that. It's helpful to see who's botting. Also, thank you for banning him. It's going to add some "work" but we won't have to rewrite what he has been translating and his "work" will not get in the game at the very least.
fresh wharf
Didn't it cancel his translations
solid bough
I'll also look into doing a purge at some point - if we have a lot of profiles that's just there
they might as well go
leaden sapphire
BTW great job on catching those guys
fresh wharf
oh yeah I'm now the only patch notes translator again
solid bough
If you spot anyone submitting dubious translations, let us know - we might as well get them sorted out as soon as possible.
slim verge
Will do
fresh wharf
should we contact Soren instead next time
solid bough
I should be able to do it too - I was just recording, and Soren has done it before.
slim verge
So we can contact you or Soren for that. Got it.
leaden sapphire
We are not having such an issue yet on Spanish, but we will report it as well if it happens
slim verge
I'll report if I find anything
and I think I just have another one in mind
gotta double-check though
but the 1st proofreader in french might have been botting
or using a bad translating tools
fresh wharf
is he active?
fresh wharf
then it's not worth

Another one
2 minutes and he's busted
Apparently since creating bot is too much effort you may just not translate at all

Yeah, I often read several times the strings, to get some context, and launch the game to try and find the source material and its context... it's lengthy, but sometimes, It just makes the whole thing work as a whole. but when I have no idea... i check other languages too

Excuse me, @solid bough
I am a proofreader to Chinese Traditional.
I wanna know why i need to approve what i approved before?
Such as "Dark Morkite", i had approved this at string No.101647 which was deleted, and u build the same new one at No.133512 which need to approve again? I don't have so much time to reapprove the same strings again and again. How about doing this renwe / update smarter?
And I also wanna know Do I lost my record of contribution?
Someone used the same translation as TM at the same but new string.
slim verge
So...
Some bots were banned. It might causes translation to disappear.
One question though to the dev team : We have translated the patchnote and approved it two days ago but it seems the translation is not here IG; the whole patchnote is still in English. Looks like there's a bug of some sort. ^^

gonna check if both translation are still there or got deleted too...
latent wadi

slim verge
Hmm the patchnotes n°26 is not deleted
yep
They are just not ingame for some reason.
latent wadi
I FULLY BLAME THE ELVES
fresh wharf
Did you post it on French server?
latent wadi
?
slim verge
You mean the french channel for translation ?
fresh wharf
no, drg france
latent wadi
heeeeeh....
i submited it to the staff, but for some reason, we can't do it ourselves 🤷
slim verge
I don't see what he has to do with it being in game or not anyway.
latent wadi
true
fresh wharf
Well, even if patch notes are not translated in-game I can ensure people are able to get patch notes in official fan-community server in the same channel and category
slim verge
Yeah sure. They already have it anyway so whatever
The problem is more like : There's a bug in Crowdin that prevent translations from being implemented ingame
Even though it's been translated and approved.
It's not just limited to the patchnotes
fresh wharf
it's just all that matters on release day besides beers n victory poses
and since you can't unlock any of them straight away patch notes is the only important thing to read in your native language today
slim verge
ideally, we would want that fixed so we can get the game fully translated. Hence why I'm reporting this problem :p
Most people don't even bother reading the patchnotes anyway
fresh wharf
it's just the mater of time
slim verge
That's why we got dozen of them taking screenshots and asking "what's this" while talking of machine events.
fresh wharf
but when people go to my server and ask questions that I've already answered in translated patch notes I just link them to channel
#patch-notes-steam read
that's it
latent wadi
just checked in the latest iteration of the experimental branch, and same issue than what was reported previously : this string is currently displaying the old translation, not the new one that was voted weeks ago...
latent wadi
Suggestion : Can we have this screen's content available for translation on crowdin please? 😉
wicked scroll
It might be just a picture :/
wicked scroll
yeah, different pictures :p

Hey! I’m here to ask you if I can join your translation team 😁 I was translator for the official fr discord so I’m an hold hand, somehow lol
So, I hope that will work!

Salut @jade storm
We should summon moderator here. Maybe @native token could help you
wispy zinc
@jade storm
jade storm
It’s the same one @native token

I can't find any contributions that you've made, we usually give out translator roles after some time of activity
latent wadi
Oh great! If you're familiar with crowdin, I suggest you search in the "need to be voted" section... there's a lot of not-so-great machine translations there 🙂
also, @native token i'm pretty sure what they meant was to give Zombinoclar access to the fr-translator channel, not the translator tag 🙂
fresh wharf
Doesn't manually giving fr-tranlator role make channel visible for people?
latent wadi
can you really do this? I don't think so
fresh wharf
like why would you wait people to translate smth to give translator role so they'll be able to get role by clicking on emoji reaction
