What did you translate "whalepiper" to?
sage tangle
you don't
At first I went with something along the lines of 'idiot' but now they have a line when you find a lost pack 'Rest in piece whalepaper' or smth like that, which does contradict the idiot intention of the first cursing 'WHALEPIPER!' on friendly fire right?
slim verge
hmm it can definitely be seen as something along the line of "idiot" even after the "rest in piece whalepiper"
I guess it would be closer to "fool" in that regard but still
shell vine
We used a french expression that means both "flute player" and "fool/idiot", soit went pretty well with the mission name, tk voice line and lost pack voice line.

Jacob said Mikkel writes most the lines right?

We translated that into "idiot" and for the lost pack we used "rookie"

You are awarded a translation medal for that. Simple and elegant idea.
Sadly for translating the same word in two different meanings you're also sentenced to death for translation atrocities.

Because the game's currency is credits, the Finnish MS translated the currency to "lopputekstit"
Which means "end credits"
And not credits, as in a currency

Hello there !
I have a question. Could someone define me what the heck is ABLATIVE KEVLAR? ._.
shell vine
ablative defines a material that will loose pieces of itself layer by layer. Ablative kevlar is an armor that will absorb enormous impacts by using the energy from the impact to 'break' a small piece of itself, and therefor protect the wearer from this impact.
boreal quest
So, kind of like a dragon scale kevlar?
shell vine
No.
boreal quest
shell vine
The material is a single piece at the start, and every impact wil break it a little bit
dragon scale is more ablative armor, you loose a little piece of armor every impact, but the pieces are not ablative themselves, only the whole is
boreal quest
Oh, okay, I think I see.

The German Translations really suck Sometimes, Not all but quite a Few. The Levels names make No Sense. The First Word doesnt often have a Connection to the rest of the Words. Its Like you want to say "cave of the horrible Bugs" but instead you translate it Like "bugs flying Dog garage". I Hope you get what i mean. If you need good Translations, contact me.
Greetings from Germany

If you have issue with your localization and would like to help in fixing it, speaking with the German translators here would be your best course of action. The suggestions channel can't really help you.

Idk what you mean about posting it here, because the post I quoted came from an entirely different channel. Haven't seen anything posted in this channel relating to the German translation from you prior to my quoting you. As the game is community translated, the devs don't really ever go about asking specific people to help out; and with your post having been made in the wrong channel, it was being deleted, which is why I quoted you here to direct you to the appropriate channel where you could find the right people to talk to.
Hopefully now that you've been put in contact with the people doing the german translation, you can work together with them to make some progress on the localization. Good luck!

Is it a problem that the morkite is not translated?
shell vine
as long as you don"t touch what is between the {}, you can do what you want
boreal quest
First of all we have it translated to morkit for language reasons.
Second, it you want to refer to morkite to do something with it you have to put a suffix on it.
Morkite-ot even if it is not translated
To refer to extracting morkite.
Because 🇭🇺

@dawn helm This is why we really need all of the strings to be unique and in a single piece. Do you believe it is possible to do it ?

So to make the resources work we'll switch it around then.

Referring to extracting morkite, and the resource string can stay the same.

But I will have to check for more things. The mission objective descriptions had to be redone because of how it was structured code-wise, but it is all good.
sage tangle
for the record here the bugreport I did yesterday
Old translation bug, one of the last ones but really important, as it can be seen on any mission multiple times (basically at ALL times). It has an even higher priority when you take into account we will get new secondary objectives.
The Secondary Objectives for Fossils, Boolo Caps and Apoca Blooms suffer from this:
The string for them on the Spacerig (mission selection globe and bottom of the screen) is
Collect {amount} {resource}
{resource} has links to Fossils, Boolos and Apocas, but in SINGULAR.
The same (!) string is also used for in mission inventory (players bag showing the carried not deposited resources and minerals) and the pickup-text (+4 Nitra, + 1 Fossil)To give you an example why this is a problem, assuming I translate the resource string correctly as it is shown in the crowdin (singular each time), this will play out as follows
Spacerig: Collect 10 Fossil (singular) - map globe and bottom screen
In mission: Inventory: 3 Fossil (singular)
In Mission: Pickup something +1 Fossil (singular)
Two / three locations its wrong. The simple fix would be to seperate those instances where they show up. Please contact us in the #babelfish-lounge for details, some languages have special cases.
small kernel
when you select the OC for the breach cutter "return to sender"
@limber yarrow I selected but I can't find it...

Question guys.
On which points in the game does 'COMPLETED' show up? In german the lit. translation IS completed, (abgeschlossen), which is too long most of the time, and in german you would rather said 'Erfolgreich' (Successful) which would also fit better in reagards of Missionstatus: Failed (gescheitert).
It's on all assignments one checked in the assignment terminal, its on mission status (failed / completed) and on the HUD popup after a mission on the spacerig right?
So Successful would make sense on all of them?
shell vine
Not for the assignements, since you can't "fail" one, so saying succeded would not be correct...
mellow topaz
maybe when you finish the assignment?
on another note, I feel like translating some enemies will become a lot easier when the bestiary is added into the Miner's Manual
especially the spitball infector
that name makes zero sense

You can translate them, but you don’t have to, I know some of them were translated because it feel weird to say it in some language so they choose something that’d sound similar, but easier to say.

Yeah that was basically my idea, get some sort of phonetic translation
shell vine
Your objective is to make the name of the species sound "right" in your language. Wether you translate it or not is up to you, as long as whatever ends up in the game feels natural to say.
It is still better to go with something phonetically close, since the dwarves and mission control will say the species names sometime.

I love this game and sorry for making u sad. I appreciate the effort and commitment. Problem is in polish language. This word "wiertacz" just... hurts and yes this word exist unfortunately.
Its like in racing game instead of word "car" there would be "droshky". Both have wheels and drive but the meaning is completely different. Sorry again, i can help with polish translation if u want.
sage tangle
At least to google translate. Don't you use the word driller in polish?
odd holly
Wiertacz is someone who works on oil field. In polish language there is no proper word honestly. Closest proper meaning is kopacz. Someone who works in mine is a górnik=miner.
In theory yes, but seriously this "silly argument" about car and droshky is true in this case.
Problem with polish language is that u never translate words, u translate meaning.
Btw i love that żeszzkurw when u hit x in base. Its just beautiful xd
Its like shrek film translation. Polish text version is completely different but 100% accurate at same time.
And that a good think, polish dubbing wouldnt fit in this game.
Point is that when u translate to polish u keep meaning not exact words.

Please be aware of existing translations. Meaning: Let's say you want to change the spelling of a word like 'Matrix Core' to 'Matrixcore' - don't just change it in one location. Search for it to the top left and be sure to suggest it on every place it exists.

@stone trench may i just ask since i see that you are translating the game to croatian, what dialect are you using?
i've just noticed that the game has the option for croatian language and a lot of things just sound wrong
shell vine
Jerry has not been active on the translation effort since april. If you feel some thiungs sound off, I encourageyou to change them directly on crowdin, here : https://crowdin.com/project/deep-rock-galactic
primal lantern
ah, alright
oh, this site is very handy, I might as well start translating things myself
sage tangle
Informed him on Steam about this question here. I was unaware that you translated into dialect at all?
primal lantern
it's just that croatian has the main dialect called štokavski or shtokavian if you were to translate it to english, and i've seen that the translation doesn't fall mostly under that category
and some of the translations are a bit too literal where it doesn't make the most sense
primal lantern
to be fair that was my only impression from seing the space rig, classes, weapons and some cosmetics
it's done well but it can use tweaks to make it more in line with the main dialect
primal lantern
try translating "Increased normal shot damage" for me
sage tangle
Is there no main, accepted speech in croatia?
primal lantern
all dialects are accepted, just that shtokavian is used as a basis
it's more common than the other 2
primal lantern
let's see
this basically means "Join search 5000 points" if i were to translate it to english
kinda nonsensical
sage tangle
Strange. You don't accept accents here in Germany in anything translated.
primal lantern
it's not an accent, it's a way of spelling things too
i would say it's something like comparing swiss german to german
not that i know how much are they different
primal lantern

Genuine, not dickish question: since Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish are so similar, would it not be easier to translate in those languages as a group effort?
I once saw a set of manuals for a board game and when I looked at these three they barely had any difference. There were differences, of course, but not nearly as drastic as Finnish.
slim verge
Not related to DRG but I think this is accurate, right ?
https://www.sssscomic.com/comicpages/195.jpg
(it probably is, given the work of the artist behind the whole language thing, and the fact that she's swedish.)
So yeah, I guess having a team working on those 3 languages at the same time would work.
sage tangle
Reminds me of
https://satwcomic.com/art/language-lesson.jpg
You could try to just make any of those 3 languages automatically include the translation of the one of them with the highest translated %.
(Let's say Swedish translation gets pushed to the other 2 if they have no translation for that string yet)
If I got their relations right, they despise that SO much that if a dane had a swedish translation they would translate it within 3 weeks time.
slim verge
No, it's more of an accent thing IIRC.
The "potato in the mouth" joke is overused apparently though because I've read it before.

i have to say, this is an interesting way of letting people translate your game

also can i ask, is it alright to take some liberties and translate longer descriptions in a slightly different way while they still make sense as if it was the original

yes, of course.

ah, that's good then

The important part is to keep the meaning and to make it sound good in your language

hello I'm looking for the hungarian translation representative
to add me to the hungarian specific translation channel
got a message from one of the dedicated translators saying that I could join it now

That would be @boreal quest, although he'll have to ask a mod to give the role.
boreal quest
Hello, yes
Should be done.
Somehow I am capable of giving a role, so I dunno?
I did.

Maybe not? I dunno.
I never did anything more than chatting on Discord.

No problem ^^
boreal quest
So, a question. Sorry for Hungaro dumbness, but I need to know a thing regarding objectives.
The "Kill 1 Dreadnought" is made up of a string that refers to other things, right?
It would be E65D053843FE9C602EAF15AF6765F5A1, yes?
shell vine
I think so, use the ctrl+o to be sure
boreal quest
This was mid-game, so I cannot really go back to it.
boreal quest
The point I am trying to make is...
If that string is E65D053843FE9C602EAF15AF6765F5A1 and it uses the description for the enemy, Dreadnought, then I do not think we can translate it to Hungarian in a reasonable way.
Ölj meg X Rettenthetetlent
That ending T is to refer to the Dreadnought
Refer to it with an action.
shell vine
If the "kill x {something} is only used here, you could change it entirely so it does not call the other one
boreal quest
To put is simply
Dreadnought - Rettenthetetlen
To ... a Dreadnought - Rettenthetetlent
I think it refers to a default description.
{target}
Which if we change then it will be To ... a Dreadnought
All across the game.
One way we could maybe do it is "Ölj meg X Rettenthetetlen -t"
shell vine
that's why we would need the #xxxx for it, to see if it is the same string used in the other places this string could show up.
boreal quest
It's either 8BFF69974752C8A13858FE83003BBEB1 or CF11FFD64B2BDEF5C0F6F094B1D2B077
shell vine
We checked with Mist, the objectives strings in the spacerig and in the missions are not the same, it might be a unique one for this case (we forgot to chack it that day)
boreal quest
The only singular Dreadnought strings in Hun
shell vine
Anyhow, I'm off to bed, might look into this more later.
boreal quest
All righty. Thanks for the support. 👍
shell vine
You can always make a bug report and send it to Fran, he is one of the devs working on the in-game text
sage tangle
Rettenthetetlen 🤣
boreal quest
Don't you go there, mister.
sage tangle
And thats the very same bug I reported to Fran about Boolo Caps, Apoca Blooms and Fossils
the mission objectives on spacerig use the noun of the thing in your inventory and on pickup. Similar with the dreadnought
and Rettenthetetlen is amazing

signal prism
A little insider fact
The name "Hungary" doesn't come from the Huns
It comes from the word "Ugor"
A larger language and tribe group
The finns and estonians were also part of it back in thousands of years
boreal quest
Hence Finno-Ugric
signal prism
This is why their language also sounds bollocks
And this is why german uses "Ungarn" and italian uses "Ungherese"
sage tangle
Kotlettenpalettenkadetten 😄
signal prism
Because we met them way earlier
So they took the byzantian pronounciation
"Onugor"
sage tangle
Whats the real world for hungarish? Mixed it up with german Ungarisch

Yeah, we attacked Byzantine at some point in history
Thing is, we call ourselves "magyar"
This is why turkish languages use "madjar" as our name

@cedar eagle
This would be the place to ask about that
shell vine
Hello @cedar eagle , what did you see in-game that was incomplete ?
mellow topaz
Dreadnought is always an issue with translation
It doesn't have a direct equivalent in Finnish
And for some fucking reason, MT translated it to "Kauhunautti", which transliterated means HORRORNAUT
Not horrornought
Horrornaut
Like an astronaut
shell vine
I kinda could see the machine translating dread to horror...
slim verge
Man, I wish @cedar eagle could tell us what's the problem with the french translation.
sage tangle
@cedar eagle Everyone is free to help and joinup, I guess the others were just pulling your leg, don't be afraid :D
Was there a specific issue you found, or do you just want to sign up with us sillies to improve the translations?
That's odd, do you remember on which string / quote / position in the game?
slim verge
But don't blame me for trying to help, just that
@cedar eagle We're not blaming you and I'm not being troll. I really wanted you to tell us xD
sage tangle
You mean the healthbar above its head? Pinging it with the laserpointer?

Don't hesitate to report those you see missing.
It's always useful.
I meant : If you find more 😛

We have also an office on the french community server if you struggle reporting precise stuff in english.

latent wadi
yeah, I really think you should be more mindful of the way you express yourself in. This morning, the way you put your sentence in is implying that the job is incomplete/need to be fixed.

slim verge
You just said "I wonder what is the problem with fr trasnlation"
@cedar eagle It was more along the line of : "Geez, I wonder if he's ever gonna respond" because we already had quite a few people saying it was bad translation but never responding in which way they thought it was faulty.
latent wadi
no big deal but be carefull 😛
slim verge
So yeah, I'm a bit defensive x)
sage tangle
Sure thing Mirror. Please hit us up if you find anything, if you translate for some time you tend to get blind to some things. (And pounce and lefrog are indeed nice fellas, even when they read otherwise <_<)
slim verge
@latent wadi We did start by not being very nice tho, we can acknowledge that.
latent wadi
Anyway, don't hesitate to report us any new issue you find and we'll fix it ASAP, or if you want to contribute, just make a Crowdin account and join the translation effort
sage tangle
wicked scroll
@cedar eagle We know that a few strings are still appearing in english, because they aren't on crowdin for us to translate. Reporting them helps all the language translators since we can forward it to the devs (and harass them until they add those strings into crowdin). So don't hesitate to post missing strings here.
If you have a doubt, you can enable the localization tool in the setting and press "ctrl + 0" to check if it's a regular string (it will be replaced by a number) or a defaulted string (which will not change when switching language).
As of now, every strings available for us were translated in french, but we always welcome any feedback or suggestion on how to improve or correct spelling mistakes 🙂
primal lantern
can i just ask, how did languages that have mostly gendered words do mission names?
i guess i could try and make them all specifically one gender, but i'm just wondering are there any other ways to do this
sage tangle
@primal lantern not at all. the words only have 1 translation, so you cant adjust a word to the nouns gender, as you don't know if the game adds a male female or neutral to it
so f.i. in German we did not <adjective> <noun> but <noun of something>
Not Great Pit but
Pit of Greatness
sage tangle
there's one string which is {firstname} {lastname}
shell vine
For french, we translated all the nouns to feminine equivalent or synonyms, and translated all the adjective to be accorded to female.
We also changed the order these words are shown in the game since in french adjectives come after the nouns.
with the string above in Fakiyo's message
sage tangle
and all the mission names are either firstname or lastname. so if you switch around that string to lastname firstname, you can do that
primal lantern
alright i'll write down all of them on a notepad somewhere, translate and sort in categories
sage tangle
Azerty has a list of them all
primal lantern
oh that's handy then
primal lantern
and i think i translated all of them well enough
will write them in after sleeping
sage tangle
You will notice when you see them ingame.
primal lantern
do they get automatically updated?
primal lantern
alright, the mission names should now be good, thanks for help guys, it would have taken way longer than this
sage tangle
Same for me, azertys list is a timesaver.

@boreal quest with double dots? Like "Ölj: X Rettenthetetlen" ?

As you can see on these picturec, the same text has 2 different size. IG, it was rapidly flickering from one text to another. Do you guys also have this bug or is it just for the french translation ?

I'm not getting logged off after 10min but I do have to log back every time I go back to Crowdin after closing it. I'm using Mozilla Firefox.
The plugins I'm using probably have that effect so I think it would not disconnect me if I had them turned off.

I don't want to translate these things yet without context
there seems to have been a new secondary objective added for translation

@mellow topaz the strings you are talking about have sneakies on twitter this week, where you can see how it looks like (except for one...)
They're self explanatory I think, but yeh the names can get... inspiration once you see what it looks like. Brace yourself 😄

@ember bone firstly, yes you can duplicate classes in a match unless the host disables it for late joiners. Secondly, the here and evrryone pings are disabled on the server. Thirdly, you should not ever attempt to use those two ping commands unless you're looking to get destroyed by whatever community you're using them in. It's a terrible idea. And finally, this is the channel for the translators of the game to discuss things in, not the place for general gameplay questions. If you have questions about gameplay, you can ask them in #drg-chat .

I think the suggsestion in experimental with symbols instead of words is our best bet

Oh boy. When the word for "drone" in the context of the bugs is "here" which is also the word for ||testicles|| in your dumb language. The translation will make the game rated M. 😅

Don't worry, you already have the gunk seeds for that

not sure which one is better
that, or the Finnish MT translating credits (as in currency) to the finnish name for end credits

machine translation vs translation memory
first one is the google trad thing
second is what other translators put for similar strings (similarity is the % underneath)
slim verge
Oh boy. When the word for "drone" in the context of the bugs is "here" which is also the word for ||testicles|| in your dumb language. The translation will make the game rated M. 😅
@boreal quest The game isn't already rated M ?
slim verge
I thought PEGI 16 was the equivalent of rated M
slim verge
Since we all have different ratings, I have a hard time knowing that for sure.
slim verge
Yep
sage tangle
Germany: Tiddies yes, blood no.
US: Blood yes, Tiddies NO
Dunno if that Pegi think is international?
but with the new gunk seeds im certain GSG follows a certain agenda <_<
slim verge
I think each country has more or less his own way of rating things.
shell vine
There is a pegi 18, but you have to push to get it
dense mountain
I think that cigare could push it over the edge
The game refers to or depicts the use of illegal drugs, alcohol or tobacco. Games with this content descriptor are always PEGI 16 or PEGI 18.
from pegi
so beer is already the push to 16
"The game contains depictions of ethnic, religious, nationalistic or other stereotypes likely to encourage hatred. This content is always restricted to a PEGI 18 rating (and likely to infringe national criminal laws)."
dense mountain
so it seems elves are not worth pegis time
But that cigar topic shows that they dont want it to be 18 so I assume if the gunk seed would be a problem you can expect a redesign
shell vine
Not sure, the cigar thing is old, they might have changed course since then
And the seed's design is certainly not a mistake, they even added the hairs on it
wicked scroll
They said they didn't want to keep it pegi 12-16, so cigar might be on the table again.
slim verge
It's been reported already so it should be fixed soon I suppose
mellow topaz
An interesting point was brought up when discussing the Finnish translation.
The name Festerflea implies those bugs are fleas, but fleas don't have wings. They can't fly.
So is it appropriate to change the species to something like a fly or gadfly, if the translation is smoother that way?
slim verge
Nvm, I got my shit mixed up with something else.
dense mountain
I think thats a valid complain simply call them festerfly and call it a day
slim verge
So is it appropriate to change the species to something like a fly or gadfly, if the translation is smoother that way?
@mellow topaz Yeah, if you think it's more natural to change it to something else, go ahead with it. While fidelity is important, making things smoother and more natural is just as important.
mellow topaz
Mainly 'cos there isn't a very good Finnish equivalent for the word fester, and the words flea, fly and gadfly are all very different in Finnish (kirppu, kärpänen, paarma)
dense mountain
Kirppu sounds amazing

I guess because it was featured in the stream is should not be a spoiler, but the Oppressor and the ||Tyrant-weed|| are the same in name. Just synonyms. Have to find a different name for the latter.
And using synonyms for them in 🇭🇺 won't be easy, since they both translate to one word.
wild jungle

willow mauve
In Finnish we went by what translates to Cruel Weed, because it conveys the image and sounds better

Sorry this isn't related to translating the game but I'm having a real hard time understanding this
I need some help with German, Japanese, Chinese, German, Dutch and Swedish text and speech
Let's say there are two cases:

In what order do you say and write those information and how do you do it?

Verbose is
Guten Morgen. Es ist 8 Uhr und 25 Minuten, am 25. November 2015. Es ist 25 Grad Celsius bei einer Luftfeuchtigkeit von 30%.
Or it is X degree (Celsius). Die Luftfeuchtigkeit beträgt 30%
Personally, if I had a talking clock I would expect and want the first verbose version.
Maybe 'es ist 8 Uhr 25'
bronze copper
Is this correct?
"Guten Morgen. Es ist 10:34 Uhr. Heute ist Montag, der 18. November 2019. 26 Grad Celsius, Luftfeuchtigkeit 33 Prozent."

How does it say 10:34 Uhr?
bronze copper
Oh the example text is incorrect
It should be "Guten Morgen. Es ist 10 Uhr 34. Heute ist Montag, der 18. November 2019. 26 Grad Celsius, Luftfeuchtigkeit 33 Prozent."
Germany uses 24hr time, right?
sage tangle
Yes
Above is correct, except the temperature does have an 'introduction' 90% of the time. So
Es ist 16 Grad Celsius (bei einer Luftfeuchtigkeit von 33 Prozent)
Die Temperatur beträgt 26 Grad Celsius (bei einer Luftfeuchtigkeit von 33%)

It was more of a slight critique of the editor, that there are not a lot of options to it.
Not that it's a fault of anyone.
sage tangle
I highly recoommend saving the original and translated patchnotes into separate documents. We had removed and reworked strings a lot of times
boreal quest
That is good to know. Thank you.
I will do that without translating the Naughty-weed, since there is no agreed consensus about it yet.
sage tangle
once done copy and paste your translated thing into the editor.
shell vine
@shell vine he didn't know how to do it 😄
@small kernel
Go to the test language, sort by date added descending, check highest number, then continue going up on the new strings
Now you know ;)
small kernel
but some are skipping numbers?
shell vine
Wdym ?
small kernel
example: there's #10943 but the previous one is #10941, where is #10942?
shell vine
Probably deleted by the devs
I'll do a rewrite after the update (when I'll finally manage to find a way to stop the bot by itself when reaching the end...)
small kernel
oh well... I guess this job is not for me, I will find other typos 😄
shell vine
You mean you'll find more work for me ?
small kernel
Lol 😄 I don't know now maybe this will in next times
wild jungle
I've noticed some minor inconsistencies when it comes to translating M.U.L.E. to polish
MUŁ M.U.Ł M.U.Ł., not to mention declension stuff
Same goes for biome names, e.g. Magma Core sometimes is referred to as Magma Caves (both words are capitalized)
just some very minor details ive encountered, nothing that breaks the game in any way :p
shell vine
You can fix these directly on crowdin, and give a hand with the translation in general here :https://crowdin.com/project/deep-rock-galactic
wild jungle
Yeah im aware of that, been translating stuff for a couple of days already
Im just kinda surprised that noone has noticed it over the last 2 years
shell vine
What is your crowdin handle ?
shell vine
I would suggest asking @tawdry creek directly, as he is one of the most active on polish.
fickle ivy
mission names are terrible to translate to polish
so that I never touched
but yeah, I was saying for a long time polish translation is all over the place
there still is lots to translate from the next update, so you could definitely help
wild jungle
well id argue with that
sometimes the OG text doesnt end with a dot while polish translations does

One minor inconsistency I noticed while translating the bestiary is that sometimes the creature is referred to in plural. From experience, I found that it is usually singular. I don't know if this is something to be considered, but translating them I sure did notice.
shell vine
It might be worth noting a dev with that, is there a lot of occurences of these ?
boreal quest
The Bulk Detonator is a 100% plural.
Web Spitter is half and half.
It's a bit weird.
The Grunt is singular
Sometimes it is they, sometimes it is it, sometimes both.
Way to make more work for translators later on if this gets sorted, you dork.

you are Translation? Oh no it's evolving! Quick, we must contain it before it's too la......
sage tangle
Yes, we infected quite a bit of people to become translators
Azerty was patient zero and not shot quickly enough, he infected me, and I was... very successfull turning people >:)
shell vine
no remedy known to this day...
boreal quest
I regret nothing
dense mountain
TBF many of the stuff given from the devs in english isnt... very good... lots of ", and" and "blabla - more blabla" and dont get me startet with all those commas....
I try to stick to their versions but sometimes its really... yikes

could someone please provide more info on this one?
https://crowdin.com/translate/deep-rock-galactic/77/en-ru#146854

This is one of the titles for the point extraction miner's manual entry.
@dawn helm Is this a pun ? (The string is "Carry on", and is the title for the third part of the PE how to)

@queen tide That one

Oh thanks a lot, i need that

Is any hungarian translators here? I translated some words, you can check them
small kernel
I'm good thanks, how about you mate?
boreal quest
Pretty good, chill day today. Imma have a look at your translation, but it is not me who can approve of them.
shell vine
Someone pinged me ?
small kernel
That's good yeah I knew it, I don't know hungarian language but I'm translating what I'm sure of from tm and mt suggestion
Someone pinged me ?
@shell vine I guess Fran pinged you and then deleted
boreal quest
Looked at the context even, so it looks decent.
small kernel
I'm glad to hear that
shell vine
Oô
weird...
boreal quest
Try string FA5E9A4346E49469F16960BF6DD96C57 maybe?
small kernel
Im missing the strings for attack, defense and speed
@gray arrow they're not added yet, same for everyone yes it's missing
boreal quest
But speed is missing for sure
dense mountain
Literally untranslatable
sage tangle
And I didn't proofread, welp
shell vine
The string 41BA633C451ED5391F39519D5ED3D6DB is the one you need to change to reverse the names of the mobs : glyphid grunt will become grunt glyphid
shell vine
Also, expect a crowdin update in a couple hours with a new patch note.
If you already translated it, MAKE A COPY as the update will erase your previous work.

How do I find parallels between in-game Ctrl+O and crowdin?
lean ocean
There is a specific language on Crowdin called "DRG - Testing Language"
Search the in-game #number in that language
boreal quest
You know how I said a dumb thing about a side by side view is crowdin? Well, there is one. I now feel even more dumber. It displays all the translations in a list form with side by side view. 😅
boreal quest
It's pretty neat to do shorter strings.
It also does in-engine spell checking, which I did not see ever in the comfortable view. Kind of odd.
sage tangle
it does that in all views
boreal quest
Then I did not see it before.

There is a typo in the english description of the fester flee: Any employee that does not elliminate a Fester Flea on sight is liable to fines, reprimands, and worse.elliminate

hmm....hello guys，I'm a new player from Taiwan .
DRG is the first game I bought from Steam , and I have to say I enjoy it a lot!
Since the game gave me a lot of fun time ,I wanna to contribute my effort to translate the monster index in this patch,but how can I upload the translation?
Uh,I see the crowdin project
slim verge
Hello there, do you have any question regarding the translation work ? I see you already saw that we're working on Crowdin. Anything else I can help you with ? ^^
@crisp canyon
sage tangle
Do we have an active taiwanese translater at the moment?
slim verge
Dunno
I can check on Crowdin
I think there's none actually, at least from what I'm seeing.
crisp canyon
@slim verge
Actually after checking the website I found one who make the most traditional Chinese translation in this patch,and I'm able to get him and ask my question.
Thanks for noticing me anyway XDD
sage tangle
I don't think everyone on crowdin is active here. (Which annoys me)
lean ocean
Also, expect a crowdin update in a couple hours with a new patch note.
If you already translated it, MAKE A COPY as the update will erase your previous work.
still no crowdin update 😦

Hello, i am a Brazilian player and i see that the game don't have a full PT-BR translation, me and my fiancee are interested in translated the rest of the text.
But i don't know the process, if someone can contact me to talk about this, i really apreciated
small kernel
Hello, you can do translation from the crowdin. It's better if you see the words from the game. If you have any questions you can ask us
rocky glen
Thanks a lot @small kernel!
small kernel
You're welcome, you can check the activities in your language by selecting the language from the Activity tab

That's Pretty Cool, thanks again.

If you have any questions with how to translate some pieces of the game, feel free to ask, we probably already the same problems in our own languages, and we are always happy to help.

I just noticed a bug report in the JIRA but it seems language related so I thought it might be worth reposting here: https://ghostshipgames.atlassian.net/browse/DRG-1603
Sounds like "ebonut" is not very appropriate in Russian
shell vine
That has been told to the devs already, but we don't know if they want to do something about it.
boreal quest
Has it been reported that some screens/strings do not support accented letters?
shell vine
Not that I know of, if you have a screen shot, send them in the bug report channel
slow bison
ah, ive been wanting to work on helping translate for sometime now since early access but i definitely plan on trying to soon, it looks like Vietnamese doesn't have much completed yet and i would love to make my contributions to the translation and to the game
shell vine
Sure, we're always happy to see more people joining in. Just head there : https://crowdin.com/project/deep-rock-galactic and you're good to go.
If you have questions on how to translate some strings, just ask here (and if you find a mistake in one of the original strings, post it here with it's key, we'll bring back to the devs)
@slow bison ^
slow bison
so, i am curious, i have never really heard the term "Point Extraction" outside of DRG, is there any proper definition to it? i understand what it is in DRG of course, but as a means of translating it, i am not sure if i can properly and accurately translate that term without understanding its full meaning
thanks in advance ^^
short abyss
you extract things in a certain location or "point"
slow bison
so i can effectively translate it like the term "extraction point", why didn't i think of that lol
thank you

hows the german translation?

Pretty active, but new translators are always welcome.
Ask @sage tangle for details

What is your crowdin handle ?
slow bison
same as my discord user
figured it wouldn't be awfully necessary since there are very few active vietnamese contributors on crowdin currently and it doesn't seem that there are too many vn translators here either but i am not entirely sure
shell vine
The tr roles are given when someone has spent a significative time, or did a very big amount of work on crowdin, as some people only try it for a day or two before quitting. Keep at it and you'll get it.
