second day so far, it's definitely been tough but fun trying to figure out working translations for a lot of things, been having a blast and happy that i can make my impact on the game

shell vine Jun 19, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

Seeing how far back the vietnamese translation is, you're set for quite a bit of time working on it ^^
If you need help with a particular string, or can't figure out where a string is in game, just ask here, we are glad to help.

#

(Although beware of spoilers, not everything on crowdin is in the game.)

slow bison Jun 19, 2020, 3:47 PM

found a couple, but i didn't think id need to mention it since they've been commented on sometime back

slow bison Jun 19, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

1% so far 😅

#

how often should i expect localization updates for the languages?

shell vine Jun 19, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

rocknstone

#

They try to do some at each update of the game (but it seems something happened for the last 2). I'm trying to petition them for once a month, but nothing is certain.

slow bison Jun 19, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

ah, okay

#

i was thinking that if the updates were more routine then i could prioritise strings that are more prominent during gameplay (i.e. dialogue captions, hud, waypoints, etc) but if that is the case then i could tackle some of the larger strings as well

#

it is quite odd seeing half translated portions of text, though it is quite funny

shell vine Jun 19, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

I would recommend working on the most visible strings anyway (mission how to in the miner's manual, interfaces, etc.)

#

As you never know when an update might hit

slow bison Jun 19, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

right, just figured i'd acknowledge the other ones a bit as well

#

thanks for the info though, rock and stone! rocknstone

is there any reason why unsupported characters show up as "?" in rich presence and is there nothing we can do about that?

shell vine Jun 20, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

By 'rich presence', you are talking about the steam or discord ui ?

slow bison Jun 20, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

discord, sorry

#

you can check my discord rich presence for example

shell vine Jun 20, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

No, nothing that we can do, it's just the link between the APIs are not supporting the caracters, and they are lost in the exchange.

slow bison Jun 20, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

that's pretty unfortunate

#

is it only for accented characters?

shell vine Jun 20, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

Any caracter that discord's API for rich presence does not support (I don't have a list, unfortunately)

Yes, sure, but in attempts to find strings in crowdin I always fail

Then you can cross reference between the testing language and the one you are working on.

You go in the testing language from the front page, then the "All game text" file, then just use the search bar

hi all,
I've just written a lengthy message to all of you on Crowdin.
It's about how we are going to handle translations moving forward. Now, that we are slowing down on update frequency, it has become clear that we need a better solution for translations. Specifically, the need to see your results in-game as fast as possible.
As I write in the message, we don't have a solution ready yet, but now you all know that we are aware of this and will try to solve it.

dense mountain Jun 26, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

Really interesting piece of information, but some wordings kinda seem strange to me, not translation related but about the games future development.

echo storm Jun 26, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

@leaden delta can someone once a month just upload the translation hotfix?

short abyss Jun 26, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

tf2 has been doing that for years

#

📎 unknown.png

leaden delta Jun 26, 2020, 3:01 PM

#

@dense mountain what we are saying is that we are dedicated to supporting and developing Deep Rock Galactic for a long time, but just not with the same update frequency as in the Early Access days

#

@echo storm the issue is that syncronzation between crowdin and our code base is linked to our main branch
so as soon as we have moved past a release of an update, any sync will add a lot of unfinished text and easily create a lot of confusion on what the next update will contain
what we want to do is to link the crowdin sync with our release branch instead and then setup something automated so we can do builds for translators much more frequently and hassle free

dense mountain Jun 26, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

Yeah you earned my trust, so I wont doubt your words, just saying it was kinda strange to read that sentence.

pliant nova Jun 26, 2020, 11:05 PM

Hey yall. I leared that you guys are looking for translators. Thats why im here. If you published the localization files im sorry that i havent seen them. Im at my phone. Whatever i want to start to translating. How am i going to do it. (Im a translator at gmod store i translated nearly 50 addons)

shell vine Jun 27, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

The translation effort is open to all, you just have to go to https://crowdin.com/project/deep-rock-galactic and start working on it.
If you have questions on how to work the site, or how to take care of a string in particular, just ask.

Btw, what language will you be working on ?

Is there any specific place where i can suggest changes for already existing and completed translations?

shell vine Jun 27, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

For what language ?

ebon wolf Jun 27, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

pt-br

shell vine Jun 27, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

?

ebon wolf Jun 27, 2020, 3:13 PM

uh, brazilian portuguese

shell vine Jun 27, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

Thx, you can go directly to the site posted right above and submit the fixes yourself

ebon wolf Jun 27, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

hm

#

i was a bit curious whether a change was worth or not changing

shell vine Jun 27, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

AfaIk, there is no proofreading done for that language, so the latest submitted string should be applied in the next update.

ebon wolf Jun 27, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

something that always looked very wrong to me ( and had a better, literal translation ) but its a really popular term and its been like tbis for a long time

shell vine Jun 27, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

when did it change ?

ebon wolf Jun 27, 2020, 3:15 PM

#

i wasnt sure if it was worth changing at this point

#

It didnt

#

I mean, there is a translation for Bulk Detonators since the pt-br version became a thing, i never really found it adequate

#

It translates into " Strong Detonator " rather than " Bulk Detonator "

shell vine Jun 27, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

In that case, it would be better to discuss this with the brazillian community directly. There is a Brazil discord you could ask.

ebon wolf Jun 27, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

you mean the BR discord for DRG as a whole, or a translation server?

#

...only if i had access to the BR translation channel :wisp:

oh nvm there isnt ye

shell vine Jun 27, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

@ethos#0127 is one of the guys working it

tawdry zenith Jun 28, 2020, 11:11 PM

#

Does anyone here know if the devs monitor the English section of the CrowdIn even though translation isn't really necessary? I was curious if they were attentive to text corrections as I've contributed a few already.

shell vine Jun 29, 2020, 4:52 AM

#

The English section of crowdin is useless, as the game can not pull from it (thats how I understood it anyway).
If you find strings that deserve corrections, just post them here, we have a dedicated means to bring these to their attention.

#

@tawdry zenith

tawdry zenith Jun 29, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

Most of the corrections I have up to now are numerous but realistically minor. Formatting errors, casing errors, etc. Nothing egregious but enough small things that I thought it would be an improvement.

#

I would still be more than happy to list them out but I feel like the most productive way to do so would be to submit a list as a document with the string # codes + corrections.

#

I was primarily curious to see if this would be considered valuable enough of an effort to deserve the attention to detail.

shell vine Jun 29, 2020, 8:18 AM

#

If there are really a high number of these, can you send a list on three columns ? Key + source string + fix needed
But yeah, any fix, any mistake that is caught, even the small ones are worth noting.

tawdry zenith Jun 29, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

Sure, I can construct a spreadsheet and build upon it.

tawdry zenith Jun 29, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

Should I use the key listed for the string in CrowdIn or the # code displayed in-game in localization debug mode?

shell vine Jun 29, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

the one in crowdin

#

The ones in the game are only to cross reference with crowdin

tawdry zenith Jun 29, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

I've built up an initial list in a spreadsheet that will likely be a WIP, where should I submit it?

shell vine Jun 30, 2020, 5:51 AM

#

It's a reference to the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy by Douglas Adams

#

#

@buoyant dagger thanks mate. Completely lost on this part until now 😅

sage tangle Jul 1, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

Uhm isn't babelfish common knowledge, some thing like let's say a lightsaber? Everyone knows what that is, it's 30 years old. 😄

#

@ember bone

The Babel fish is small, yellow, leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own carrier, but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language.

#

A lot of services use it as a reference. Dictionaries, websites, etc. 🙂

#

Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation

solid bough Jul 3, 2020, 10:22 AM

It's not that common tbh.

who needed access to a pt-br channel?

shell vine Jul 12, 2020, 5:39 PM

You just opened a can of worms @solid bough , there are four accounts -crowdin accounts- with proofreading history (ethos ; V0ID ; thaisc ; armadorei), and quite a lot with a history of translation -too much to give a precise count of who did what-.
I would recommend asking @runic compass as he is a longtime and active proofreader.

Isn't that one used for the other portugese ?

Also, do the other pt br translators have access to it ?

I want to find the traditional and simplified community translator for confirming the translated information I will put onto gamepedia

shell vine Jul 25, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

@tired geyser
@lean ocean is the proofreader for simplified. For traditional, you will have to ask johnnywu0000 (most active translator) on crowdin directly, since it doesn't seem he is on discord.

I would recommend getting an account yourself, as it will allow you to search for specific bits of text, and bring things in need of fixes directly to the translators attention.

If you look into the translation, you will find that all the beers have been translated, at least in the Abyss Bar's strings. Some shouts have not been done yet, but if you search for them then you will find that they are done.

boreal quest Aug 16, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

I have a question. Should any of the overclock or in-world game elements refer to player actions, like pushing the button on your keyboard?

#

Because the Cryospray has two OCs that outright say "pressing the reload button"
I do understand that the weapon has no actual reload but just reading through it felt a bit odd.

limber yarrow Aug 16, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

the cryo has an oc like the ice spear that lets you fire a proyectile when you press R

boreal quest Aug 16, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

Yes, that is what I am saying.

limber yarrow Aug 16, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

i did not understand your question then lol

boreal quest Aug 16, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

The description of the OC refers to "press the button on your controller" essentially.

shell vine Aug 16, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

I just checked the strings, and yes, you do refer to the reload button in these

boreal quest Aug 16, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

Which is not a big deal, but it's a bit 4th wall-y.

#

If there is no other way to do it then that's it.

shell vine Aug 16, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

It might be an oversight from the devs, but for now, it's referenced like that in the original string

boreal quest Aug 16, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

Maybe later on they'll flesh it out. Just thought I would ask about it, if maybe other translation teams worked around this or just kept it as is.

shell vine Aug 16, 2020, 5:10 PM

Well, for french, we kept it as it is

It's me, the dumb goat asking dumb questions.

#

I am not familiar with other language rules and whatnot, but what form did you translate Mission Control? Singular or plural?

#

In English you can get away with "you"

#

Can refer to singular or plural you.

#

Can't do that with Hungarian.

#

This is when MC talks to the dwarves. It just sounds weird when it's plural when you play solo.

#

Or vice versa.

limber yarrow Aug 26, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

Mission control always talks in plural, as in you're playing with a team

#

Even when you play as solo you have bosco

#

That's a team of 2

#

The thing is, one is not human xD

boreal quest Aug 26, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

But you can not bring Bosco

#

Then you are all alone.

#

It's not a deal breaker, it's just that English gets away with it so easily that I am just 😤

And let's not even talk about formal and informal speech.

#

That's another pain in the butt.

shell vine Aug 26, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

In french, plural is the same as formal, so we went with formal, and put everything mission control says in plural

shy pivot Aug 26, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

Informal for the dwarves

#

Formal for command control

#

Well, in most cases

@boreal quest the game is a coop game. The lobby has 4 cabins. The lore talks about dwarves. It has a bar. If you play the game, for whatever reasons (I know a lot do) in solo, you're playing it wrong nonetheless. He talks to the team, plural

boreal quest Aug 29, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

With the only exception, I assume, is the tutorial. All right, thank you. It matters a whole lot to get these things sorted, because Dumbgarian is very picky with a lot of things.

boreal quest Aug 29, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

And the reason I have to ask a lot of these is because of how the whole translation started with the old proofreader, who took nothing into consideration and did not even bother to do actual translation.

candid crater Aug 29, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

Hope now it's better Stiny :)

boreal quest Aug 29, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

So half the strings he approved was either out of context or just outright wrong.

#

It is getting better, but it needs an overhaul from the roots. Sadly, the current efforts of the translation are on a hold due to to some real life shenanigans.

candid crater Aug 29, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

Huh, basically you're doing the same thing I do. Our proof is mostly okay but sometimes you dig deeper and find rock tree translated into doom tree

boreal quest Aug 29, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

Not as fortunate to have a bigger team like the other languages, but I also understand to be lucky to have this many people care about it in the first place.

#

There is only so much I can do to make it decent, and I wish to do a good job.

#

🤷

sage tangle Aug 30, 2020, 11:23 AM

@candid crater as others said, yes. And there's nothing more satisfying than coming up with a good / better solution for a translation and seeing it ingame. And nothing worse than being unsatisfied with something but not coming up with a solution which is satisfying

slow nacelle Sep 1, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

(IDK where this would go, if it even matters at all)

In the Press Kit on the DRG website, the Game Fact Sheet lists the following:
...everything on the planet from the creatures to the fauna is extremely hostile.
Is this a typo? "Creatures" and "fauna" seems redundant. "Flora" might be a good substitute.

twilit ruin Sep 1, 2020, 11:10 PM

pff point out that but not the grammar error! u should also change IS to ARE in the same sentence. singular = is & plural = are (mike is hungry/mike are hungry :: boys is hungry/boys are hungry) u can see one just does not sound right in each pair

I think they would have some caracters of unicode included in the in-game text, since when I asked the same question for the drill's ammo screens, they added the jerrycan and the flame ones, but Fran did say it was better if these were not included in the crowdin texts, because it could break something if the caracter was not in the game before. Maybe you could ask him directly ? (not on a sunday of course) @boreal quest

@sharp dagger Kommt drauf an. Entweder filter nach 'unapproved' und hoch und runtervoten bzw. eigene Vorschläge machen, oder unter 'approved' Fehler suchen und unten rechts Haken setzen, dann bekomme ich PM für falsche Übersetzung. Oder du lässt einfach ungefiltert und gehst durch wie du möchtest.
Falls du die Muße hast und etwas Erfahrung, mir ist seit langem das Weapon-Mod / Equipment ein Dorn im Auge, weil die Mods usw. unterschiedlich übersetzt sind.
Wenn du dabei bleibst / da gefallen dran findest, gibt es noch einen eigenen channel de-translators wo wir deutsch sprechen können.

Since we hit 100% translation on release, german translation calmed down quite a bit. But it's not as I want it to be, but you know how it is. The last pieces of perfection take so much time and effort... But we can use any helping hand, and proofreading or alternate suggestions are always very welcome. If you keep it up and are interested, you can join the de-translators later. If you have any questions, just ask here or personally via PM.

sharp dagger Sep 6, 2020, 7:57 PM

Ok, thanks again for thorough introduction to the topic.

I will try to find some time in the coming days and contribute translations where they are needed.

Hope they will be helpful.

Until then rocknstone

We got 100% as well, I'm going through everything in need to be voted in order to fix some bad things nobody voted for/reported/approved. Just like doom tree...

sage tangle Sep 6, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

you can also just do a little here and there. everything helps. you don't need 3 hour sessions of translation @sharp dagger

#

and even errors or assumed 'bad' translation help. Like if you're not fixing typos but suggesting new or more fitting phrasing of existing translations, even if it has errors, it can be better than what's in already. Obviously I would then approve it (without the errors). That's why more than one or two translators are so incredibly useful

hey fakiyo, im in the middle of a translation/upvoting run for German (filtering "not approved"), if it suits you, feedback whether im doing it correctly, is welcome.

sage tangle Sep 7, 2020, 12:02 PM

#

Oh yeah, FYI:
The system is as follows, from top to bottom:
Red (missing) Translation: The first translation to be suggested automatically gets patched in with the next patch.
If there is an existing translation, a later (newer) translation will be patched in / replace the previous one.
If one translation has more votes than the other, it will replace those, regardless of date submitted.
Last step: Proofreaders may 'approve' a translation. This means any changes, new suggestions or voting is NOT automatically pushed into the game next patch, the one approved is 'fixed'.
If you find errors or something more fitting for already approved translations, you can comment on that string and check the options to the bottom right: 'Issue - Current translation is wrong'. This way, the proofreader gets a PM directly.

Ok, thanks for the info. Edit: I get the logic now. 👍

As far as I can see, there are no red (untranslated) strings for German on crowdin.

So when im now working (upvoting, downvoting, adding new translation) on the 60 pages of "not approved" strings in "AllGameText", they will eventually be patched into the next live build?

Quick question regading ENG to GER translation convention:

Mission objectives like "Locate Eggs" or "Exterminate Fester Fleas" can adress one single player as well as the whole team in English.

Yet, in German one has to decide if they translate them as a singular or plural form.
("Finde Eier" or "Findet Eier", "Töte Fester Floh" or "Tötet Fester Floh")

Who should be adressed by this mission objectives (one solo dwarf, or always the whole team)?
(Both ways make sense for me. Though I would prefer the solo dwarf like "Finde Eier", since it's displayed on his personal HUD)

sage tangle Sep 7, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

Depends on where it stands. Tutorial has singular as explanation to a new player, while ingame objectives always are for team, as this is coop and makes more sense in the majority of places @sharp dagger

#

sharp dagger Sep 7, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

there were some (but very few) errors in some (but very few) translations.

so most translations seem grammatically sound, at least to me.

if there is an adaptation needed (in my eyes), most often its just a rephrasing of a word or word group to make it sound better lore-wise.

Can a brother get some synonyms or ideas for "Potency" in the context of alcoholic drinks?

It's not exactly "concentration" and I don't think we have a word for it

it entirely depends of the language concerned. The translation teams for each language determine themselves the "genders" of the made up aliens depending on what will sound better in their language.

Übertaktung. Don't you have anything like for motors, cartuning, or maybe PC tuning / overclocking? @foggy steppe

foggy steppe Sep 14, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

we do "přetaktování" which is basically increasing clocks

#

but that's more of a verb (performing action) than noun

#

so I can't really used that as "Overclocks" as in things that overclock

We use "overdevelopment"

Since overclocking is such a tech specific term, we had to decide on something that does not have that connotation.

pirateo is the action of pirating

pirating meaning committing "criminal" actions against a property

#

possibly stupid question but when does the translation update in game? is it automatic or added with update?

sage tangle Sep 16, 2020, 12:57 PM

#

Every patch and experimental

#

Sometimes GSG forgets an experimental, then Azerty and I give them evil looks

#

(if it's quick experimental hotfixes in succession)

#

So when the experimental hits, there normally is a daily experimental update (hotfix), and each of those gets a translation update. So let's assume Update hit's on XX.09.
That means experimental is usually one week before, so 7 days. With experimental come the new crowdin strings. Until then, GSG usually has 3-5 hotfixes for their experimental. Each of those has translations updates.

#

After the update is in the live build, we usually get 2-5 hotfixes over the next 1-2 weeks after official release, which also update translation

#

and sometimes, some language teams ||~~coughfrench~~|| break their translation, making the game crash, so they even got their own special hotfix patch.

foggy steppe Sep 16, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

Cool, thanks

sage tangle Sep 16, 2020, 1:05 PM

And you know how the update mechanism picks strings?

#

like, automatically? Translation > no translation. Newer translation > older translation. Most votes > less votes. Proofread > anything else

should be the same as the top translation on crowdin, right?

It is important to 'protect' some jobs from being done by just anybody

#

Germany is internationally praised for it's (dual) apprenticeship model, especially with 'hands on' jobs (workers). Some jobs like carpenters and stuff like that NEEDED you to have a successful apprenticeship or 'master' (not the studied one, just called like that here) to have a store and offer your services.
Just recently the german government tried to make work force and prices even cheaper as it is and open up. Meaning anybody could call themselves carpenters, or plumber or else.
Crafts and Service quality plummeted, prices were dumped and complaints and structual damages rose sky high in only a few months, so they went back to the old system we always had.
Surprise, nobody could have seen that one coming.

So, I only know one professional translator personally. While I agree that you can learn some skills on your own, I think it still qualifies for a job / branch where you want a 'professional'. If you're really interested in it, if you have prior experience, you should do just fine aquiring the needed degrees or papers whatsnnots.

@gray arrow
What is your language? Yes, the translations are done by the community. Game is natively made by Ghost Ship Games in English, everything else is fanmade translation and we love us some help from volunteets
@sage tangle I can do translations in Czech and Russian

#

Mostly in Russian

@candid crater is one of the new RU translators, can you chime in Bebe? 🙂

Russian is translated, all we have left to do is polishing. Anyways, @gray arrow, DM me when available

sage tangle Sep 18, 2020, 12:12 PM

You can help by voting for existing translations, or add your own, or flag already approved ones with errors to be reconsidered 🙂

There is no "official" status per say. Everyone can go to crowdin and help.

If you noticed some issues with this spanish, I would recommend discussing these with @limber yarrow when he'll be online

What's wrong with my approved translations? loads shotgun

limber yarrow Sep 19, 2020, 2:07 PM

Odraza and I are the ones who translated the most. To be completely honest, I wouldn't give the proofreader role to anyone else except him (though he never asked for it) because there has been times when someone came out of nowhere, suggested translations that were wrong or literally just the same as the one that was already approved, and many times we had to fix/undo a lot

#

Feel free to suggest a new translation! I was approving some a few days ago but i can't sit and approve all of it because i'm very busy all day because of work or irl stuff

#

But i'm active in here most of the time, so feel free to dm me too

#

And i'll check crowdin

#

I'm gonna try and approve most of it on my day off

Oh this is brilliant, when the management is speaking I changed the Rock and Stone translation oh so slightly so It's something along the line "Rocks and Stones" rocknstone

Mhh you should try to keep the tone and style / feel / lore of the game as close as possible to the original

foggy steppe Sep 19, 2020, 3:00 PM

I know, I don't think it really interferes with the original style, it's just lil' easter egg that adds spice imo

weary herald Sep 21, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

well ores that end in "ite" most of the time will very likely translate to "iet" in Dutch

#

EN = Pyrite -> NL = Pyriet

#

EN = Stalactite -> NL = Stalachtiet

#

so I'm assuming the same can be said with materials like Magnite and Umanite

#

when the material ends with "ium" nothing changes between the languages

boreal quest Sep 21, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

We did that based on what our based proof reader said. He said that not every person who plays the game knows English at a level where they would know or care how to pronounce the English terms, so we Hunglified them.

#

While "umanite" and "umanit" does not look all too different, the way to pronounce them is very different.

sage tangle Sep 21, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

yes, minerals are also not translated (for german)

#

you can see it for yourself when you translate, just expand OTHER LANGUAGES and see what they picked

Translating the Hoarder was a difficult one to choose what word I'd use for that one as there are multiple words for that with the same meaning

#

another one that's difficult to choose is whether I stick the words together or add a dash inbetween because unlike English, Dutch usually sticks words together whenever it refers to a singular entity.

sage tangle Sep 22, 2020, 8:15 AM

#

oh boy you have all the strings in the world to yourself ❤️

weary herald Sep 22, 2020, 8:18 AM

#

for example with the hoarder: if I translate it to "verzamelaar" which technically isn't a wrong translation, I think it more refers to "Collector" rather than hoarder but that's what the original translations were on crowdin. I however think "Hamsteraar" is a better translation as this more focuses on gathering stuff in large quantities.

#

oh yeah, I had that too with Dutch

#

I think dashes are a good compromise inbetween because technically they're not used wrong and it makes long words/names easier to read.

sage tangle Sep 22, 2020, 8:19 AM

#

Hamsterer could be a possible if odd translation for german as well

weary herald Sep 22, 2020, 8:21 AM

#

I also think I found a much better name for the beer ingredients because from the looks of it I believe other translaters must've thought Barley and Malt are names of fictional ingredients but they actually have a translation so I switched that too.

#

Barley is not a brand or name of a beer. it's a grain, just like malt. in the translation they translated the "-bulb" and "-star" part but not the Barley or malt.

sage tangle Sep 22, 2020, 8:31 AM

#

As Dutch you can orientate yourself on German if I'm not mistaken?

#

weary herald Sep 22, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

I can pick out a few words in German because they sound very similar to Dutch or are almost or exactly written the same in German but not always

#

applying germanic language family logic kinda helps but most of that falls out the window when you speak English 😂

#

Dutch and German sentences are structured almost exactly the same

#

NL: "Hallo, mijn naam is Beef en ik vertaal naar Nederlands"

#

DE: "Hallo, mein name ist Beef und ich Übersetzen zu Deutsch"

I pride myself on that translation with the leaflover used as insult which I translated to "Bladlikker" which sounds very similar to "Bootlicker" and almost has same negative connotation, because the implication is more or less the same except for the entity

How would one translate "Resupplier" the perk?

#

Same for "Frenemies"

#

I got 0 clue how to even approach these lol

foggy steppe Sep 23, 2020, 9:07 AM

#

It's easy in czech because I can do something like (not)friends which translates to enemies

shy pivot Sep 23, 2020, 9:08 AM

Yeah but Frenemies is more like... friends and enemies at the same time

shy pivot Sep 23, 2020, 9:09 AM

Is enemy just friend with negation in front? In czech friend is "přítel" and enemy is "nepřítel"

Yes

But "resupplier"

means smth else

"Supplier" means providing to someone/something.

"Resupplier" would imply more like... restocking

Recharging

sage tangle Sep 23, 2020, 2:50 PM

Brand Names.

#

Plus I feel it's one of those things, which if you play together with other languages, you need to be able to communicate by just saying the name.

#

You can go your own way ofc.

#

When I started some were translated and it felt... urgh. shudder

foggy steppe Sep 23, 2020, 2:52 PM

I see I see but then I feel like it hinders translation in other places like translation for Leaf lover

But I can see your point, I'll have to think about the trade-offs

Brand names are not to be translated in French so we kept it that way

something.

foggy steppe Sep 23, 2020, 2:57 PM

you can always communicate the original name because the label stays in english

sage tangle Sep 23, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

I know exactly what you mean. Leaflover = leaflover, but the insult in the voicelines says 'Baumkuschler' which means lit. Tree-Cuddler and is actually used in german

#

Before BOTH were just lit. translated to 'Leaf-Lover' which did not make ANY sense neither for the beer nor the insult

foggy steppe Sep 23, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

To me it seems like a waste, making translation of leaflover and use it only in 1 or 2 voice lines

#

I'll try and see if I can come up with great translated names for every beer and if not I'll keep the originals

sage tangle Sep 23, 2020, 3:02 PM

Unless we get the original logos, edit them with photoshop and turn them to DRG again for translation in the files 😄

foggy steppe Sep 23, 2020, 3:06 PM

No, I think that's good because that way you can enjoy the translated name and still refer to the english name while in game with others

weary herald Sep 24, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

I just ran into a brick wall with translating a mactera 'Spawn'. I just come to realize there actually is NO proper translation for 'spawn' in dutch in the way it is implied in game. from what I believe, "spawn" implies something that has just recently come to existence without implying an infancy stage like newborns. now I was thinkin, would it make sense to use a word somewhat similar in context without it being the exact translation? I thought about using "Dar" (Dutch for a male bee aka 'drone') instead of "Broedsel" which sounds lame.

#

anyone else has input how they circumvent difficult translations like this?

slim verge Sep 24, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

Yeah no you don't have to go for the exact translation

#

sometimes getting around is better

#

Just keep it as close as you can (IF you can)

#

In french there's also no real translation for "spawn"

#

so we used other terms, sometimes completely different

#

For exemple, for the mactera spawn, we used "hunter mactera" basically

#

Stick good enough with what the monster do

#

Unless we get a "Adult Mactera" in the future

#

it's okay to take a completely different route if there's no way to keep it close

#

You'll probably have to do that with a lot of playwords too

weary herald Sep 24, 2020, 1:44 AM

#

then I'll stick to Mactera-drone for now

#

drones to be fair would be a good name for a unit that comes in a pack/swarm

slim verge Sep 24, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

yeah

#

sounds a bit robotic to me though

weary herald Sep 24, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

that's only because they now call unmanned/autonomous flying vehicles/robots "drones"

#

when at first drones are actually male bees

#

macteras fly, so it kinda makes sense

slim verge Sep 24, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

yeah i know but in my natal language, "drone" is not something you hear a lot, even for insects

#

it does exist though

#

it's just pretty rare

#

but anyway

#

it works ^^

#

that's the important part rocknstone

#

youngling or hatchling perhaps 🤔

sage tangle Sep 24, 2020, 7:08 AM

#

@weary herald Drone is fine, could also be possible for German 🙂

#

~~maybe I'm stealing this~~

solid bough Sep 24, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

what if we add actual drones?

sage tangle Sep 24, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

Then we rename the new drones to UAV

#

Mactera UAV, MUAV

weary herald Sep 24, 2020, 9:46 AM

#

for example, we call them "darren" as to imply they are insects, but we'd still call those flying things from the omen exterminator "drones" despite it not being a dutch word

#

For mactera spawn I went with moth 😀

shell vine Sep 24, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

But moths don't sting 😧

#

(I'm just kidding, moth is fine as long as it sounds nicely in your language)

foggy steppe Sep 24, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

Yea I could figure out anything better

#

Also since when do mactera spawns sting? 😀

shell vine Sep 24, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

Wifi stings

foggy steppe Sep 24, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

Fair enough

shell vine Sep 24, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

They send you a paquet, and it stings if they manage to ping you

#

^^

foggy steppe Sep 24, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

@solid bough confirm or confirm that this is true

solid bough Sep 24, 2020, 10:54 AM

#

that they don't sting?

#

Well, they shoot

#

guess that's not stinging?

latent wadi Sep 24, 2020, 11:05 AM

#

tameable macteras, WHEN?

sage tangle Sep 24, 2020, 11:08 AM

#

Imagine wasps remote-stinging you

#

they're bastards already

mellow topaz Sep 24, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

oh heck

#

I feel bad for not having contributed more to the FI translation

#

been busy elsewhere

limber yarrow Sep 24, 2020, 3:06 PM

#

I was right

weary herald Sep 24, 2020, 3:07 PM

#

so uh, with any update, do new translations get added, or how does it work?

boreal quest Sep 24, 2020, 3:09 PM

#

The new strings have already been added.

#

If you go to Crowdin and you click the message...

Click on the 848 strings, and you will see all the new, added strings.

weary herald Sep 24, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

No I mean, the translations that were contributed.

boreal quest Sep 24, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

Oh, right. The current way is that once the game updates the translations get added.

#

But there will be a new, better way of updating the translations soon.

weary herald Sep 24, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

I changed a whole bunch of translations that sounded wrong/odd into more sensical translations

#

so that means my last translations very well could be in there before the game's last update just now?

boreal quest Sep 24, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

It will be in with the update.

#

When the update happens the translations go with them too.

weary herald Sep 24, 2020, 3:15 PM

#

I see, because so far I see no translations that I contributed. I know I did a whole bunch of descriptions in the bestiary that weren't translated at all yet

boreal quest Sep 24, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

There will be a new system with, apparently, daily updates to translations, but we'll see how that will turn out. For now, the translations update with every update the developers put out.

It's funny how everytime there's only one active translator for czech because they always burn out fast (including me 2 years ago)

#

Honzas who was active around 1.0 looking back is no longer around

I know I got burnout because of no support from the proofreader back in the day.

signal prism Sep 24, 2020, 7:58 PM

#

I got used to having no proofreader

#

Except the flashgame preservation project, where I AM the proofreader

It gives extraordinary freedom of speed

(Althought the amount of lines are far-far less)

mellow topaz Sep 24, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

for help with some translation: are there any inspiration for some of the names?

#

glyphid, q'ronar, nayaka etc.

boreal quest Sep 24, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

If you are looking for some translation advice, try to translate them phonetically, if that is what you are looking for.

#

We did glyphid to "glifid"

mellow topaz Sep 24, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

we did try it once

boreal quest Sep 24, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

Because that is how you pronounce it, and that is how an everyday person could sort of get into the world.

mellow topaz Sep 24, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

but changing "q'ronar" to "kroonari" doesn't exactly sound good

boreal quest Sep 24, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

It does not, but my proofreader said something wise.
Think of the person who knows not one word of English. I know, unlikely, but that is a shoe that we are trying to be looking things from.

mellow topaz Sep 24, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

I guess?

boreal quest Sep 24, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

And if you translate it, it's great world building.

#

It makes just as much sense in Finnish as it does in English.

#

But that is just one view.

#

We do it because Hungarians can't speak English for shit. 😁
