shell vine
Stay home, wash your hands, and you'll be fine
It attacks everyone, but only if you are not carefull
Back to the topic of this channel please
shy pivot
right
for crystal caves
there's Crystal and Crystalline
should it also be translated differently?
or keep the same for both
one being a noun and one an adjective
regal heart
Using a noun/adjective should be fine I thing
regal heart
Would need the context but in english the meaning is extremely close so using the same word may be possible.
shy pivot
one is basically "crystalline caves" (adj) and one "crystal caves" (noun) - basically "caves made of crystal"
regal heart
Then using the same should be fine.
Donβt think there is really an intended difference in english for that.
shell vine
Crystal caves is an old name that is only present as an error, it should be corrected to cristalline
shy pivot
see, now that does make all the sense
small kernel
there is two "drop pod" and "droppod" this is both same?
shell vine
Same, this is the original version having some difficulties about harmonization, try to keep a single term in your languages (and notify fakiyo about the issue, so he can add it to the List)
shy pivot
Azer
do you know about the term "Banshee" being present literally anywhere in the game?
wiki doesn't have a single article with the word and I don't recall seeing it anywhere either
wicked scroll
surely prototype enemies which we never saw
shy pivot
could be
or a weapon name
or anything like that
the counterpart to the Bulldog, the Banshee :^)
regal heart
Never saw it in the files so far (didnβt searched for it either for now)
not a single result in the fileβs name
shy pivot
HAH, I always thought I had a very dumb translation for "power drill" and then I see the germans have the exact same word
small kernel
this strings a little weird I hope I will translate correctly
shy pivot
which?
small kernel
I'm translating easy ones, I will ask after hard strings
small kernel
same with "Memorial Hall" I think?
shell vine
When will the Kaz Asrok Ale be added ? ;)
small kernel
it's a new beer?
shell vine
(I'm just trolling, it's a name that was added at the same time as the others, but never implemented)
@sage tangle : incorrect glossary string => "War Vetera"
shy pivot
^ => "Aquark"
small kernel
Aquark should be Aquarq yeah
shell vine
@sage tangle incorrect glossary string => "Deepcore GK2" (it should be DeepCore)
shy pivot
It's "Deepcore" everywhere on wiki tho π€
shell vine
wiki is not reference (unfortunately), but a majority of strings use DeepCore against the ones using Deepcore
You need to consider crowdin as prioritary against the wiki for matters like this.
shy pivot
Not a lot to work with tho
Since in the patch notes it's just "DEEPCORE" due to it addressing balance
let me boot the game and check
shell vine
@sage tangle incorrect glossary string => "Gotrek" unused
shy pivot
yeah, not even in game. It's just all in capital letters.
You think it should be DeepCore?
shell vine
We have more of these in general, so yeah. In the end, it's the devs that will choose. It's a problem since there is the two atm
shy pivot
you say that but there's 9 strings in total containing "deepcore", 2 for DeepCore, 1 for Deepcore and rest is patch notes in full caps
so something should be corrected in here π€
I'll trust you on it
shell vine
I might have gotten it the wrong way around then. In the the end, it will be the devs that decide.

shy pivot
either I haven't paid enough attention to all the beers (which is heresy), either there's quite a few scrapped beers
@sage tangle incorrect string -> "Berret"
^ -> "Google Cap" (I assume it's "goggle")
^ -> "Google"
obtuse beacon
can someone explain what do you mean by incorrect string ? unless there is a guide somewhere that I could read on how to help you guys with translation
shy pivot
a string
is basically a line that's said/written in game
correct?
incorrect usually means it has a typo
or something's wrong with it
"Aquark" instead of "Aquarq" for instance
that or I assume factually incorrect strings that got outdated with more recent patches
shell vine
@solid bough Shouldn't the 'spider webs' that are found in the radioactive zone be renamed as 'glyphid webs' ? Since spiders are yet to be found on that planet...
shy pivot
shit, that's a good point π€
shell vine
@shy pivot A string is an entry on crowdin
The name come from a coding perspective, because string is the name given to a text based variable in programs
shy pivot
yeah I know, but in his context I'd say only one thing could be wrong with a string and that's basically how it's written
And if it's a translation that's wrong, it can be more specifically adressed
shell vine
Hadn't seen hawking's message, my bad
shy pivot
ah, no worries π
shell vine
@sage tangle incorrect glossary string => "Glowtree" unused, there is "Glow Tree" in it's stead
leaden sapphire
Lots of text and update emails. To sum up... Glossary available in crowdin?
Anything else?
shy pivot
nah
that's about it
some things were added by accident few days ago and then removed
and now the glossary is here to stay I assume
shell vine
Kinda the point for that after all
shy pivot
would it be ok to translate "glyphid exploder" as "glyphid detonator" ? π€
since it's a mini version of the Bulk lad
solid bough
No
shy pivot
and the bulk lad has an adjective to suggest it's the massive one
shell vine
For this you're active Jacob ! :D
shy pivot
I am aware but it's the closest I can get to translating "exploder" :/
solid bough
@shell vine I've passed it on.
shell vine
thanks !
@shy pivot suicider maybe? It's what's written on the steam cards after all...
shy pivot
not particularly fitting in translation
the term mostly refers to humans
and self exploding eh...
shy pivot
nay
shell vine
splatterer ?
shell vine
I tried...
shy pivot
I appreciate it π
see
we do have a term for something that blows itself up
but I don't wanna get topical
and/or banned
shell vine
Check with the devs first then, maybe in PMs...
shy pivot
c'mon
just use your imagination
you know exactly what I'd say
and it wouldn't fit the game lol
shell vine
I know what you mean, I just don't want to get banned either
shy pivot
ok let's shrug it off then π
shell vine
and if it's the only fitting thing, theeeennn.......
shy pivot
yeah that's the problem
I can't bloody call it Glyphid Terrorist
or some other dumb shit
shell vine
terrorist no, I was thinking ||kamikaze||
shy pivot
YO
hold up
that might actually work
@solid bough babe is that allowed?
that would legit be fitting and make a lot of sense in the context
solid bough
That's a no from here. π
shell vine
You tried at least
shell vine
you did as well
shy pivot
I only tried to confirm
shell vine
Although, he might have only seen your proposition, since I spoilered up mine
solid bough
shell vine
you don't need to ping him he sees all
shy pivot
Glyphid akikmakze ?
solid bough
that brings up a whole new line of questions
shy pivot
solve the anagram for the fun word of the day
fuck me, I don't know what you can get banned for and what not anymore
so I'd rather not bite the bullet with rude or sensitive words
it's the fun word for the eastern plane people in WW2
so would Glyphid Kamikaze be allowed?
wicked scroll
that's completely unrelated to alien creatures
shy pivot
well the term kamikaze has been also used for suicidal soldiers
more or less
outside of the context of WW2
just someone doing something very suicidal
wicked scroll
yeah, but we don't call bees "kamikaze flies"
shy pivot
the crawling tumorous bees
wicked scroll
the work of the translators is to stay true to the original meaning
shy pivot
ok so hear me out
wicked scroll
adding another meaning or reference on top of it should be avoided
shy pivot
they already have more or less... combat oriented (not to say "military" inspired) names
grunt, warden, praetorian, dreadnaught etc
so a kamikaze in the circumstances would be just another unit
a unit whose purpose is to go and commit self forever sleep as to cause damage to the enemy
solid bough
I have to double check, but the kamikaze reference is probably too heavy
leaden sapphire
That actually interests me
I'm Spanish it's translated as kamikaze, because that's exactly what they do
In*
So let us know if it is forbidden
In Spain there would be no censorship at all to use kamikaze
shy pivot
yeah, same in romanian
solid bough
It's not censorship as such, it's just something that's best to avoid if possible
shy pivot
yeah that's fair enough
solid bough
how about Exploziv @shy pivot?
shy pivot
am I fucking retarded
I fucking went over that word and went "Exploding Glyphid" nah, that doesn't fit, I need something else
local dane teaches romanian to native speaker
yeah, I'm a big fucking bobo, my bad, that was the word all along
shy pivot
jacob with the connections
Internationally known and locally respected
I did a big translation binge after the first day I got into it and I think that took a toll on my brain and now that I took a few days break, I can't bloody think anymore
shell vine
@sage tangle incorrect glossary string 'Salt Caves' => Unused term
shy pivot
hmm
"exploziv" works as an adjective
but not quite as a noun
for "Exploder" or "Exploder Infestation"
@sage tangle incorrect glossary string "Pudo Shell" -> unused/replaced
shell vine
Don't worry about that, once a word is used as a name, no matter what it is, it can be used as a noun as long as you are in the same context.
And Jumbo shells is used, it's an overclock
regal heart
OC for the scout shotgun
shy pivot
my wiki page fucked up when searching "jumbo"
yeah, you right
the things that naedocyte breeder shits out
shell vine
In general, try searching crowdin for the term first before the wiki. Some terms are not in the game per se, but are in the files and need to be translated anyway. What I call 'unused' is 'not in any string in the game', else I put incorrect/or the replacement I think is needed
shy pivot
are called Roe
shy pivot
Roe is the name of the fish "eggs"
shell vine
and yes, it's roe
shy pivot
would that name fit in this context?
shell vine
yes it would, french uses 'bag of eggs' by lack of a special word for it that would fit
regal heart
roe is the term used for fish eggs
shy pivot
yeah but that's not really a fish... and those are not exactly eggs...
that's why I'm asking if the same term should be kept
shell vine
Those are eggs, lots of them stuck together
shy pivot
as opposed to saying "naedocyte eggs" or something
leaden sapphire
"Walking bomber" would be allowed somehow, @solid bough ? If not, could you please specify what terminology should be avoided? It's not that easy to figure out by ourselves, our cultures are truly different and I cannot be sure about what should be avoided or not.
Never thought you will have such issues considering you have much harsher terms included in English
solid bough
It's mostly things like "suicide" or reference to it, that would be nice to avoid (yes, I know the steam card says suicider)
and reference to people killing themselves during WW2
but again, the word kamikaze might have evolved in other languages to actually transcend the original meaning.
leaden sapphire
I see. Thanks. Would be hell to avoid in Spanish. Considering that the guy explodes himself and does not drop bombs or so...
shy pivot
I'd say "kamikaze" would be nice to be avoided in Japanese and regular english
leaden sapphire
So considering that, walking bomber should be ok
shy pivot
but outside of that, it would depend on a culture to culture basis
leaden sapphire
Exactly.
shell vine
For french, the japanese word has gotten a more wide meaning with time, including any kind of attacker willing to die for victory (iIrc)
(But we don't use it in the game)
shy pivot
for the worse
not in regards to the word but for everything else
world's going to hecc
leaden sapphire
Have come out with a weird thing... Apoptosys is the mechanism for celular suicide, if you wanna call it like that. "Apoptosys Glyphid", perhaps?
leaden sapphire
I'm trying to find a way to describe something which bursts itself without mentioning it bursts itself
shy pivot
So you still need to find a new term for spanish?

All those have no true way to be constructed in Spanish
They will sound weird

OK, thanks
shy pivot
nothing new so far
fakiyo has been asking him if they can release the new strings for the upcoming experimental build a few days in advance
so we have enough time to work on them
also keep yourself safe!
leaden sapphire
I see. Fakiyo is a tough guy who insists on this quite a lot to facilitate our work as translators. Hopefully that helps speed things up.
Thanks a lot delgado, same to you!
shy pivot
Does "Adhesive Flames" make sense for "Sticky Flames" ?
shy pivot
Since I'm using "adhesive" for the sticky grenade and in that context makes sense
shell vine
As long as it works
regal heart
You could also use something that means making a path of flame or flame remnant
shy pivot
don't think I have anything even remotely close to describing that concept
even less in one word
wicked scroll
just name it Explosivo Glyphido and be done with it
shell vine
@sage tangle unused glossary strings : 'cosmetic infused matrix core' and 'overclock infused matrix core' => the only term used is 'matrix core'
@sage tangle Possibly confusing glossary string : 'complete' with the description 'verb' => since the translation of a verb is mostly based on context, maybe this string could be removed ?
@solid bough Thanks for the help on the translation effort, but please keep the consistency with the capital letters, it breaks my heart when I have to downvote you...

jacob, we need more context about for new strings. Some of them really don't understand where they're used
shy pivot
weird as feck word
shell vine
They are not in the game, the glossary is all the words that appear with doted underlining, so that translators can have a better time staying consistant when translating the game
shy pivot
but I might at least force people to learn a new word in my language
so that works
what about "jury-rigged" ?
small kernel
oh glossary is like a translation book?
shell vine
Once translated, hovering your mouse on the translated words will show you their 'official' meaning, and a click on the underlined word will auto fill the translation,
exactly that, its a reference point for the global translation effort
Jacob opened it to translation today
shy pivot
@small kernel that definition is from the glossary
for that term
we're only translating the terms
shell vine
@sage tangle Obsolete glossary string : 'Search and extract' => this kind of mission no longer exists
@sage tangle consistency problem : 'bitter gem' and 'bittergem' both exist

@sage tangle unused glossary strings : 'white knight' and 'black crag'

yes ?
shy pivot
how did you translate it? Since I am not familiar with H.P. or what it references
forest guardian?
maybe it makes more sense with some context or in your language
shell vine
We took the official translation from the H.P. books (one of us had them)
shell vine
gamekeeper, litterally
shy pivot
like a campaign's GM?
shell vine
Ask around if someone has the romanian version of the books, it's in the first one (there is also the description from that book)
no, like the guy that watches over a forest to keep people not allowed to hunt there to do so.

yes

shy pivot
can "Head Honcho" be replaced with "Sheriff" ?
shell vine
what !?
shy pivot
not the cowboy type but the "boss in town" type
we have that meaning as well for the word "sheriff"
shell vine
isn't he head honcho the name for the DRG hard hat ?
shell vine
Yes, but how would a sheriff be linked to a hard hat ?
Isn't there something like 'boss man', 'chief', 'supervisor', something along those lines ?
@sage tangle unused glossary string : 'kicking' => No reference to the glossary with the word kicking, plus very ambigous since it could be a barrel or a player...

@sage tangle incorrect glossary string : 'droppod' => spelling mistake
limber yarrow
is it a spelling mistake? I mean, I think i've seen the same word on another strings
because mission control has many names for the drop pod
shell vine
It should be a spelling mistake, since droppod is not an english word
Also, couldn't find a single string using that glossary reference
shell vine
one sec
leaden sapphire
There's many like this, where words are fused together while they shouldnt. At some stage, one wonders if it is a mistake or an internal name somehow
leaden sapphire
@shy pivot doughboy is the name of the soldiers which used to carry that helmet
great pappy's is somehow a reference to the "helmet of your grandfather"
shy pivot
were they a specialised unit? or just another name for infantry?
leaden sapphire
just infantry guys
shell vine
Since they use 'DropPod' in the adresses for the strings, I would think it is a simple mistake. (this is also the point of the stickies, bring the devs attention to these strings)
shy pivot
I remember those being used by the british army in the sand regions
leaden sapphire
Not the UK ones.
shell vine
I remebered for british as well
leaden sapphire
The name refers to american ones carrying those, doesnt mean others didnt use them. Just they were not called like that
Not sure if you understand what I mean
limber yarrow
monorail gamemode is closer to being real
leaden sapphire
I can carry a hat here in spain and for wearing that hat being called "hat lord". You can carry the same hat in your country but it doesnt mean you will be called "Hat lord"

I might take a look at that and see if it needs to be translated too
leaden sapphire
It has been created, yes. However, it might be an issue somehow. Not sure how mixing both spanish dialects will work, since I am creating it with the strings from the Spain one.

Spanish people also "pretend" they speak english.
shy pivot
God bless the danes in this regard. They know english from the youngest to the oldest.
leaden sapphire
Which doesnt mean they actually can engage into a conversation
Yes, I believe most nordic countries do. And the Netherlands
shy pivot
But like... basic english tho... being able to tell the time, some basic directions, building names (hospital, museum etc.), basic greetings etc.
And in the older people you'd understand but the younglings?
People in their 20s and can't put a sentence together in english?
No matter where you're from, I believe you still get exposed to a bit of english...
obtuse beacon
I think it's more a generation thing you know ? I feel like the youngest are getting better and better in english (different countries at different speeds, sure, but better anyway)
shy pivot
I feel like my generation was when we started to take english in stride
And all generations going forward
But I'm surprised seeing a lot of people my age not being able to converse in english at a basic level
obtuse beacon
same here, some french teens are still unable to speak in a correct english for more then 5 minutes (and i'm toning it down...) but this is different from past generation where the english language was dispise all together, now people are willing to learn it.

you're toning it way down. Some french teens can't make one proper sentence in english

DRG deserves some thank you indeed, but you know what? I think we deserved that big thank you as well. We have great teams, wonderful chats and incredible efforts to get things done right. So guys... I also clap hands for all of you.
Well done
shy pivot
Man don't make me cry out here

Cry if you need it, that won't make you any worse. Feelings are OK, they are part of us, and we deserve feeling great.

At least until experimental patch notes are officially out I guess
Assuming that's how it works

Do they release the patch notes at the same time with experimental build?

sage tangle
Can we agree to not post 'spoilers' for others, if we stumple upon them?
shy pivot
Yeah, I think that's the most reasonable thing to do.
shell vine
@solid bough where should we report potentially problematic strings ? (like spelling mistakes)
shy pivot
Mark with issue or ping fakiyo for it so he can add it to the pins?
Isn't that usual procedure?
sage tangle
Oh god I'm still missing the last 3 days
shy pivot
Well most of the pings I think are from yesterday's glossary
Don't think there was much stuff reported besides that, if any.
fresh wharf
I'm still amazed how quickly I found wrong translation when casually checking translations for some old strings
(wrong glossary translation)
I'm like hovering upon word and see: kOrsite
instead of kUrsite
like how anyone can translate that wrong lmao
fresh wharf
U (sounds as 'a') and O are kinda different
and correct would be to type a instead of o π
shy pivot
Nah nah, I mean on the keyboard
fresh wharf
our a is placed where F is placed in latin layout
shy pivot
Oh right, good point
fresh wharf
so it's kinda far from any of o
shy pivot
Wait you're a translator for both French and Russian?
fresh wharf
no, just checked once if I can access other translation channel
shy pivot
Ah lol
fresh wharf
besides, French guys are always active and tell nice stories
fresh wharf
translators are good enough nowadays
if you know what to use
my nationality is ru ofc
sage tangle
@shy pivot when you click on a name, you usually see the language role. Split: ru-translator
fresh wharf
I have 2 roles accidentally π
fresh wharf
but it's fine, mb that'll make me learn French some day...
shy pivot
Fair enough
fresh wharf
ru is not active for a while...
if anything wrong is spotted I can see that on the ru fan-server that can be found in #fan-communities
and I push it here for fakiyo afterwards
also once I entered French fan-server and got instantly greetings from one of the members
shy pivot
Ru translations or just the chat?
fresh wharf
we have channel to report everything's wrong with translation
you know there's a lot of things which don't fit, placed and so on cause of cyrillic font
and there were some bad translations in the past also
Ru translations or just the chat?
ru-translators is not active for a while, actually I only use it to call proofreader check my patch notes translation
fresh wharf
yeah that one looked like issues with actual meaning
sage tangle
God all those sweet details in the translations. :3

So I've been pretty actively in this day for the translation in the Hungarian part (2500+ in 1 day) and even proofread a few older translations that was left for dead since 10 months now, I was wondering how could I "approve" or how will something become "approved" there? ._.
wicked scroll
there isn't a regular way to pass proofreader. Either the proofreader of your language endorse you or you've worked long enough on the translation and you can ask Soren to give you the role on crowdin
remote urchin
Oh I see. The proofreader was not around since a few months now.
solid bough
Approval is not necessary for it to be in the game
I believe it's included by default, based on votes
shell vine
it is
It is the most recent/most upvoted string that will be taken in (approved strings bypass this system)
remote urchin
Hm
Okay. I'll keep translating tho
c:
I actually tried the game out at my friends pc, and fell in love with it. He doesnt speak english well, so I wanted to help him and others out by using one of my native languages. c: I hope one day I can get the game too
leaden sapphire
This type of interest in the game and its translation, together with your activity, will bring you to a good stage soon. Just keep going and speak with the devs once you feel you are definitely the most established translator and non-official proofreader in your language.
But as they said, creating good translations and receiving votes on them would be enough to pull those on the game. If you have issues on bad translations not being removed, let us know and explain reasons for the change, and we can vote you to pull yours up. Only if really necessary though.
remote urchin
Thank you for your guidance! I appreciate it
solid bough
@remote urchin We'll actually give out game keys as a reward for translating a certain amount of the text, as can be seen on Crowdin (disclaimer; it's been a while).
I can imagine it's hard to properly translate without having the game, though.
remote urchin
Not really, I play everyday with his steam account π haha. He hates the scout so I level it for him when he is not home. π
Actually I'm pretty sucked-in by your game. ._.
What I noticed in the Hungarian translation (learned english and hungarian from my parents since I was born) that people translate with google and not paying attention to the context or the source where you can clearly see its a Shout in combat, etc.
So i fixed the steam stuff, and the glossary, now I'm looking through the main strings and proofreading them before I continue to translate
(I'm learning game dev, so I try to translate to stay true to the atmosphere of the game but still understandable)
shy pivot
So young and ambitious
Reminds me of myself about a week ago
You're doing great work mate and a great mindset for the job!
remote urchin
Its not hard when the translating community backs me up like this
solid bough
Haha, you got old fast @shy pivot
remote urchin
Its dwarf aging. Faster then you think Jacob π¦
shy pivot
My beard grew thrice the size since I started translations. Same as my chest hair. This job takes a toll. :(
If you got the glossary nice and tidied up, that's excellent for others who might decide to join you in translation down the way to have a handy translation going forward.
remote urchin
Yeah I have to fix now the 98 page of OLD translation of the game strings, since the glossary changed stuff up because of me. I mean they left Glyphid as it is. But for a hungarian it absolutely a nightmare to pronounce. So it became Glifid which sounds exactly the same just more Hungarian. Same with Resources and Minerals
shy pivot
I'm not sure what was the policy about those
Beers for one should not be translated since they're brands
I think it was basically "try to rename/adjust names if they are more fitting in your languages"
But someone else would need to confirm this
plucky dagger
Translation can be horrible. Can't count how often I switched from German back to english...
short abyss
There's also this one thing
Each lang probs did their own thing when it comes to translating certain things that could be debated
Would you consider that an inconsistency issue
Things like "Glyphid" for example
Some translate the species name, some don't
remote urchin
yeah well "ph" in english is pronounced as "f" in hungarian. So if a Hungarian without english knowledge reads Glyphid it will pronounce it with "p" instead of "f" π
wicked scroll
sounds fair
short abyss
I mean same here
But still unsure whether to not to change it
It would be good to change for the sake of understanding
But also good to keep for the sake of consistency and the fact that names are usually not translated
Let's put it into different terms
Let's say Borderlands
There are "Skag"s, "Rakk"s, "Spiderant"s and many other creatures
How would you translate those?
I mean one thing is changing letters a language doesn't use
Like y's to j's and whatnot
But would it be good to change those names so they seem "readable" to your native language
Example:
There are "Ratch" in BL3
I wouldn't say it would be fair to change it to "RaΔ" for me (Δ is basically "ch"), because in turn it does kind of "change" its whole namesake of it
mightve gone a bit too far oops

@leaden sapphire Hey, I'm translating the new text and I saw that the Party Hat - Year 2 text is wrong, it says it's year 1
The core infuser text also has an extra tilde mark on the Spanish translation
Can you change it?
leaden sapphire
Are you translating in Spanish (Modern) or in Spanish? The party hat - year 2 string has not been translated in the second one, so I think you are mistaken
lavish pier
This is what it shows on the Crowdin page, am I missing something? It's in the spanish (modern) though
leaden sapphire
I am not in charge of doing changes in the spanish (modern) one
This that you are showing is the suggestions, based on previous strings
lavish pier
Ohhh
leaden sapphire
It shows the year one because it suggests you that this string couold help you, and tells you that you should chnge the green label for the red one
On the second one though, you are right, somebody translated it incorrectly a few hours ago (seems like we are having some active people in spanish at last). I will correct it, no worries. Thanks for pointing it out!!
lavish pier
Yeah, I was wondering since it says English -> Spanish, thought it meant to the Spanish version (the european one), so I wanted to let you know
But yeah, that makes more sense that it's a suggestion

Anyone who previously translated "Turret Whip", can you provide a more literal explanation?
short abyss
You whip a horse to make it go faster
You whip shoot a turret to shoot a charged shot
So I translated literally
shell vine
the turret whip is a mod for the engie's shotgun taht allows you to have your turret fire an overloaded projectile when you shoot it with said gun
shy pivot
Yeah I was wondering if people used a different translation for "whip" rather than the literal one
shell vine
let me check
leaden sapphire
I used "turret booster", it loses part of the original intend of "whip" but transmits the correct meaning

I believe there could be a tuning of one term in the game: molten magma. Magma is already molten, no other state for this matter. It might be somehow redundant. Perhaps "ardent magma" or "molten rock"? Any comments to this, guys?
shy pivot
I think magma has a nice ring to it so it should be kept. So maybe work around adding something to it instead of molten.
ardent is a good one imo
@leaden sapphire
actually
I just had a look on the wiki
"Among the deepest of our mining sites, the Magma Caves are a mellow 250-400 degrees and helpfully lit by the churning, molten innards of the planet. We advise that you do not touch anything not mandated by the mission objectives, as your employee insurance does not cover burns."
how much sense would it make that the place where we're adventuring
is a core made of magma that has hardened?
shell vine
@leaden sapphire I know what string you are refering to. Best we can do is add it to the list and hope the devs will update it.
leaden sapphire
Here or in the spoiler one, azerty?
shell vine
spoiler
leaden sapphire
@shy pivot , it would make sense, indeed.
leaden sapphire
So yeah, it depends on how you feel it should be done in your language, @shy pivot
shy pivot
it'd prolly be 99% with lower letter
leaden sapphire
Like us then. You are on a safe side like that. There are things I have kept in uppercase though
Pending revision but still like that, such as terminal names
I believe it makes a better image to say "terminal de ModificaciΓ³n del Dron" to highlight which part is specific to the terminal, and which one to the object in the game (terminal)
remote urchin
Guys if I want to be able to check my strings in game, just to make sure it does not clip out of its position etc, what is the interval for the build to update? I mean I'm translating the Miner's Manual right now on experimental and want to double check it ._.
Or am I stupid?
Am I making stooohpid questions here?
shell vine
The devs will manually pull the strings from crowdin before a build, the last time that happened was this morning at 9 am GMT, so your strings wont be in game before the next hotfix at least
remote urchin
Oh I see. I never didnt know that the system is manual string pull or a server refreshment pull :))
Now I see
Thanks!

I don't think that's what he meant

@sage tangle The 'mastery unlock' has been on crowdin for a year +, but is still not implemented. Can you add it to the list ?

What kind of issues?
fresh wharf
he was translating all that amount of words alone like he wanted

so instead of suggesting translations on top of his translations like we were doing before and since he's translating strings mostly alone now it's better to have him here to discuss things
in ru translation we have lots of anonyms translating the game on crowdin
we even beat french guys in endgame race once π
but after that we had to edit lots of translations in respond to people's questions
twilit mica
Alright, sounds good
fresh wharf
so he's in respond of doing lots of translation of upcoming u29
and I'm pretty sure if I check activity I won't see all or almost all translators that are currently in rutranslators channel

The current translation for Hazard X is Gefahrenstufe X
So Danger level X
I already changed the 'description' (deadly, extreme etc) a little in earlier patches, so the words fit in between the selecting arrows
< Gefahrenstufe 1 - Einfach >
Now they changed the arrows again and two hazards wont fit in between.
I just compared to you guys and realised that you went with the simple 'Risk X' or 'Danger X'
Does that sound good in your language?
Because Danger X (Gefahr X) sounds shitty in german
Risiko X may be fine I think
shell vine
We took danger

Yeh I saw. Does it make sense to just tag a number behind that?
Because Gefahrenstufe (level) <number> makes sense
