I just feel filthy for having butchered all those English species names

sage tangle Sep 24, 2020, 9:05 PM

We did not translate the alien names at all (the family names, glyphid etc)

#

I do want to help with the translation, but I'm pretty sure I want to wait until the experimental drops

#

so I get to try out the new missions before I spoil myself thru the new strings

sage tangle Sep 24, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

I actually think most of them spark the imagination

#

and you'll be like 'aaaah, that's what it is' for some things

mellow topaz Sep 24, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

then again, there are literally thousands of other strings to translate as well

#

32 654 strings

shell vine Sep 24, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

10950 at best actually

#

Are you sure this is not the word count ?

slim verge Sep 24, 2020, 9:25 PM

mellow topaz Sep 24, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

oh, it's words

#

where'd you see the completion percentage anyway?

slim verge Sep 24, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

On the language page

mellow topaz Sep 24, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

about 55% done on the main

#

the side textx are 100%, evidently

#

...gonna be a long wait 'til Tuesday

#

at least the oil rig mission is shown

shell vine Sep 24, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

They shoul stream one of the missions tomorrow,if you want

mellow topaz Sep 24, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

oh boy, I completely forgot how we already did the capitalization for many of the existing words

#

Finnish terms seldom capitalize every word

sage tangle Sep 24, 2020, 9:36 PM

#

BTW 1/3 of word count is patchnotes, just so you know ^^

#

you don't have to translate the old ones

shell vine Sep 24, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

The old ones are no longer visible, and therfore no longer count in the word count or the percentage ^^

mellow topaz Sep 24, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

plus if you translate something like "glyphid grunt", then you can translate a buttload of other strings with it

so is there a translator room where I can discuss translation of unreleased content?

sage tangle Sep 25, 2020, 8:59 AM

#

there is one translation-spoilers for community translators, and the lang-translations for each language

foggy steppe Sep 25, 2020, 9:09 AM

One string doesn't make any sense but I'm not sure if I can talk about it here since it's from the new update

What does 3A1D989842DB57738E59898BA5AEE3F5 refer to?

#

Is this string a part of the objective description?

#

Like "Kill 3 Dreadnoughts"

shell vine Sep 26, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

Maybe, I don'treally remember.
You could check by going in game and using the ctrl+o mode to check if it is the same as the one displayed.

mellow topaz Sep 26, 2020, 11:50 AM

I'm on my laptop and this can't run the game for shit.

wild jungle Sep 26, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

like, 'sercowiec' would be somewhat okay, but it reminds me of 'serowiec', which means cheesecake in polish so

mellow topaz Sep 26, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

how the fuck do you translate "weapons platform"

wild jungle Sep 26, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

also sercowiec is used to describe a person suffering from heart diseases

foggy steppe Sep 26, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

I think weapons platform is sentry

#

so something like tower

wild jungle Sep 26, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

translate it literally

#

platforma broni is actually a thing for instance

#

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_platform

Weapons platform

A weapons platform is generally any structure or system on which a weapon can be mounted. For example, a fighter jet is a weapons platform for missiles, bombs or autocannons. Other vehicles such as the Humvee are considered weapons platforms as well, such as for grenade launch...

mellow topaz Sep 26, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

goddamn

#

translating random, single-sentence strings is easy

#

but miner's manual entries? that's a chore and a half

#

BET-C's entry is a nightmare to try and translate

shy pivot Sep 26, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

Welcome aboard, I see you got yourself comfy already :^)

foggy steppe Sep 26, 2020, 2:11 PM

watch out random single word strings could be for name gen, do NOT translate those unless you know what you're doing

shell vine Sep 26, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

The day you come to the mission names generator, comme and ask, we'll help, but wait until the end for this, for they are a BIG thing to tackle

foggy steppe Sep 26, 2020, 2:22 PM

#

Well you have to make sure it's all the same "gender"

wild jungle Sep 26, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

oh, calling pumpjacks 'kiwon' is gonna look so out of place, lol

#

its my first time seeing this word tbh

#

kiwon i mean

mellow topaz Sep 26, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

@shy pivot I've been doing this for a while now
Just took a long hiatus

#

@shell vine I was the one to translate like 99% of the mission name generation

#

Took a goddamn while

foggy steppe Sep 26, 2020, 3:38 PM

#

I am so not looking forward to that :D

shell vine Sep 26, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

Not deleted strings, some of them are hidden and only available to proofreaders

foggy steppe Sep 26, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

yea I noticed it says hidden strings right after posting that

mellow topaz Sep 26, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

what does it mean to have a translation "approved?"

shell vine Sep 26, 2020, 4:11 PM

#

It means a proofreader came by and chose taht translation as the one that should be integrated to the game. It allows a suggestion to bypass the voting system.

sage tangle Sep 26, 2020, 9:16 PM

#

To make it more clear: Every translation gets added automatically, approving just means you can't change it any more with votes and newer translations, until you use the 'report to proofreader' and he decides to change it again

foggy steppe Sep 27, 2020, 7:49 AM

#

Can you delete someone else's translation by downvoting it to -1?

#

Because someone translated couple of namegens

shell vine Sep 27, 2020, 8:07 AM

#

You can make a translation go down and put another one before with votes, but only proofreaders can remove someone else's suggestion.

twin falcon Sep 27, 2020, 8:35 AM

Is there supposed to be a Lorum ipsum among the strings?

Aight, just wanted to bring some attention to it in case it wasn't on purpose

mellow topaz Sep 27, 2020, 8:56 AM

#

What was the order of acceptance with the strings?

#

Most recent < most upvoted < proofreader approved?

slim verge Sep 27, 2020, 8:56 AM

#

I think that's how it is yeah

shell vine Sep 27, 2020, 9:00 AM

#

yeah, that's it

sharp dagger Sep 27, 2020, 9:00 AM

#

yes, afaik thats the approval logic

#

question: in some strings for cometics ".NEW" is preceeding the actual description, do we just need to copy-paste ".NEW" and translate the following words?

#

📎 SPOILER_unknown.png

shell vine Sep 27, 2020, 9:02 AM

#

don't bother, the .NEW is a mistake from the devs and will be removed soon

sharp dagger Sep 27, 2020, 9:02 AM

#

ok, thanks azerty

should we even translate such strings then?

shell vine Sep 27, 2020, 9:03 AM

#

If you do, keep a note out of crowdin, as the .new strings will be replaced by the new ones, and these will be removed from the platform

sharp dagger Sep 27, 2020, 9:04 AM

#

Ok, so I will wait with the translation, thank you for the information.

foggy steppe Sep 27, 2020, 9:26 AM

#

I can't believe how bad some translations are (including mine from 2 years ago😅)

twin falcon Sep 27, 2020, 9:28 AM

#

So there is the ||Look at me, I'm Stony Rawk!|| string. Has anyone tried to match the pun here, or did you all just replace it with Tony Hawk instead, so the joke doesn't get lost?

shell vine Sep 27, 2020, 9:29 AM

#

We Lefrog tries to match them as much as possible, but I did not see what he put for this one...

mellow topaz Sep 27, 2020, 9:49 AM

#

@twin falcon probably wouldn't include names of real life people in the game for copyright reasons

#

better to just make a punny reference to the same celebrity

#

or to take another ||skater|| from your country and make a pun out of their name

twin falcon Sep 27, 2020, 9:52 AM

#

Does it actually bring up copyright issues?

sharp dagger Sep 27, 2020, 9:52 AM

#

for german the preliminary translation ist "Schaut mich an, ich bin Stony Rawk!"
Maybe we will translate the pun in a future revision.

#

so no "Tony Hawk" for german.

twin falcon Sep 27, 2020, 9:53 AM

#

I'm not a skater myself, and even if I knew someone, that person would definitely not be an icon like Tony that most people have heard of.

mellow topaz Sep 27, 2020, 9:56 AM

#

better safe than sorry.

#

you can reference 'em, but maybe don't do a one-to-one name drop.

#

but do you know any popular Hungarian skaters?

twin falcon Sep 27, 2020, 10:02 AM

#

No, not really

foggy steppe Sep 27, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

Better safe than stony.

#

🚪 🏃 I'll see myself out

sage tangle Sep 27, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

just keep it as stony rawk? Should be understood by anybody who listened to game news in the past 20 years

wild jungle Sep 27, 2020, 12:13 PM

#

i have a hard time deciding whether i should treat ||Drilldozer|| as a proper noun or not

#

considering our record of not doing so here in the polish translation

#

its just a matter of a capital letter but still

mellow topaz Sep 27, 2020, 12:24 PM

#

Fast, efficient, and utterly horrible, the Mactera Spawn will do its best to overwhelm its enemies through sheer numbers, and then swoop in to liquify and suck out the remains using a proboscis the approximate size and shape of an old-war bayonet.

#

What the fuck even are periods

#

Finnish does not lend itself well to such long words

#

jesus

boreal quest Sep 27, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

Then don't.

#

I don't think anyone would mind if the translations are not mirrored.

#

In fact, there were times I had to just ignore the commas and period and reconstruct the sentences to be more appropriate for my language.

foggy steppe Sep 27, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

^This. Remember that people who use translation are not the ones who know how the original text looks like.

sage tangle Sep 27, 2020, 12:56 PM

#

Ehm, you should do that all the time. English has this 'He was eating sitting down listening to music' stuff

#

You dont translate the sentence structure if it does not make sense in your language, It sounds horrid

mellow topaz Sep 27, 2020, 12:56 PM

#

yep

#

I am quite happy with the goo bomber translation at least

foggy steppe Sep 27, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

Puns are hard to translate sometimes

#

Or slang

boreal quest Sep 27, 2020, 12:59 PM

slim verge Sep 27, 2020, 1:16 PM

I don't even remember

boreal quest Sep 27, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

The way I did it was I just used "small-scale brew(ery)"

#

Because it fits for both.

#

Space rig only brew and brewery.

#

ta-daa...?

mellow topaz Sep 27, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

I guess I should get something out of the fact that craft beer basically means artisan beer

#

and artisan beer means hand-crafted beer

#

but the bartender's a robot, so does it really have hands?

#

something like that

sage tangle Sep 27, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

oh the craftable beer translation is my child, along with golden bugs

#

anybody touching it will be bit to death 😄

I absolutely nailed lootbug translation if I say so myself (I cannot say it in english because I don't know how to express it)

boreal quest Sep 27, 2020, 1:26 PM

#

We just called it treasurebug

#

For some reason.

foggy steppe Sep 27, 2020, 1:26 PM

#

yea that was the translation in Czech too before I changed it to "lupík" like a lil' lootbug

gray arrow Sep 27, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

Is the patchnotes string complete? Seems to be awfully short on fixes. Would it be worth starting on translating that?

shell vine Sep 27, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

You can start translating it, but I highly recommend keeping an offline copy, as it will surely get changed quite a lot in the coming days.

#

They generally add the fixes and the end of the experimental period, so in a week and a half.

foggy steppe Sep 27, 2020, 9:08 PM

I translated mule when there's mule and M.U.L.E. when M.U.L.E.

small kernel Sep 27, 2020, 9:09 PM

m.u.l.e. is for missions and I think mule is used for subtitles

For example, this is for mission and it should be "M.U.L.E."?

I know the rudes are arseholes, but can the translations have swearwords, be they sort or hard?

sage tangle Sep 28, 2020, 6:59 AM

#

@mellow topaz on places where the game is rude, yes.
My favourite ingame voiceline is (because of how it is pronounced, not the insult itself)

You ugly son of a b!tch

#

I also remember 'arsewipe', 'idiot' in the voicelines too, for friendly fire.

#

you obviously don't put unfitting swears where they don't belong. But when the game says SOB then you translate SOB

#

your job is not to censor stuff

but their translations have mostly been overwritten by what's been discussed and agreed upon here

I just wanted to issue a clarifying statement, so you don't get the wrong impression from above chat history:

As a freshly recruited German translator I can say that fakiyo is doing a great job as German translation "lead" and the German translators are a productive and good team. Also, I felt rather welcome in the team. drillmina

Or in short: Fakiyo = rocknstone

Happy Experimental later today!

lol that makes it even more forced to be honest. 😅

But Fakiyo is a great guy he literally single handed managed the whole german translation, mad respect for his dedication

Don't worry Imgi, we all know Fakiyo is a terrible person, forcing people to work on the translation without any resting time until it's completely done 👀

Is the "pun" in craft(able) beers really that important? I... I just can't translate it
Um... What exactly is the pun there? 😅

sage tangle Sep 29, 2020, 7:18 AM

#

'craft beer' is a type of beer, plus it is craftable beer which you will make yourself

#

so it plays on the name of 'Craft Beer' with the fact that you (ingame) craft it

#

A craft brewery or microbrewery is a brewery that produces small amounts of beer, typically less than large breweries, and is often independently owned. Such breweries are generally perceived and marketed as having an emphasis on enthusiasm, new flavours, and varied brewing techniques.

Point being a specific place

in German I went for
Bierrierefreiheit
which is a made up compound of
Bier - beer
Barrierefreiheit - which means something that enables disabled / handicapped persons to access their workplace unobstructed. (ramps, automatic doors and such). It is often required by law on certain workplaces, or for public transport.
And seeing the craftable beers give you a special ability, that makes sense.

solid bough Sep 29, 2020, 9:32 AM

maybe a light attempt at a pun

foggy steppe Sep 29, 2020, 9:33 AM

so in german it's disabled beer I see

solid bough Sep 29, 2020, 9:33 AM

#

but it exists purely because of the double meaning of the english word, so if that doesn't exist in the target language, you'd have to go out of your way to invent a joke.

#

so in translation it's basically not needed if it's not the same construction

sage tangle Sep 29, 2020, 9:33 AM

#

and because there is no good translation for the second thing
CORPORATE ISSUE
I went for a made up compound of
Biertriebsrisiko
Bier - beer
Betriebsrisiko - Work / Environmental Risk (Like: Firefighters tend to get burned, special known dangers related to that workplace)

Somehow the bot yesterday didn't get all strings which Azerty and I only noticed before I went to bed, so sorry for that. :3

#

Or is it not out yet? 🤔
@twin falcon The exp is out yeah

mellow topaz Sep 30, 2020, 9:05 AM

#

I have a couple of others

#

I've also tried coaxing some of the Crowdin-only translators to come to the Discord so we can discuss these things together

slim verge Sep 30, 2020, 9:06 AM

#

That's a good thing to do. If any of the other translators you're working with have access to the other channel, you can always discuss about things you need to know with them.

mellow topaz Sep 30, 2020, 9:07 AM

#

It's just a little bit of a hassle to get access to the FI translation channel

#

That's one thing they should change; Crowdin has a lot more translations than there are selectable emoji in the pins

sage tangle Sep 30, 2020, 9:15 AM

#

you can just show your fi-profile and ask to get in that channel

mellow topaz Sep 30, 2020, 9:17 AM

#

Still a lot more work than just reacting to an emoji

#

Side note: I'd love a mobile app for Crowdin

#

So I could just sit in bed and translate a few strings before I go to sleep

#

Sure, the web version has a mobile page, but those are almost never as good as dedicated apps

sage tangle Sep 30, 2020, 9:24 AM

#

crowdin doesnt even manage to make a good normal page.

#

permanent logoffs since a few months. since a few weeks it's laggy as hell

#

bad interface

#

now the filtering is slower than before too, where it instantly applied filter in the past

boreal quest Sep 30, 2020, 9:38 AM

#

I just enabled stay signed in and it works for me.

twin falcon Sep 30, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

I'm having the opposite opinion about the UI in crowdin. It doesn't feel like a setback for using it on phone.

#

Also, keep logged in works for me just fine also. And probably the filtering getting slower is due to the growth in the string pool it has to search in.

#

Speak of the devil, 16 new strings as I just wrote that 😈

Beware, new strings are only in after Devs patched them in tomorrow, some may be missing completely

mellow topaz Sep 30, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

the finnish translation isn't nearly finished enough to worry about such things

sage tangle Sep 30, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

f.i. that's why
Boolo Cap is a PING string (when you ping them with laser pointer)

#

but the mission objective is 'Collect SAME STRING'

#

which makes 'Collect Boolo Cap' instead of plural

#

which sucks

#

this also helps you to look up if you're missing a string, f.i. each terminal has 'Deep Rock Galactic - Employee Terminal' on the header, if you use the debug mode you see that there's no number, meaning devs did not push a string do discord to be translated yet

candid crater Sep 30, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

These strings actually exist in crowdin

sage tangle Sep 30, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

they are very old and have no #number

mellow topaz Sep 30, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

where on discord do you actually see it, though? I only see the huge key IDs that seem to be exclusive to Crowdin.

#

if a string has a typo in English, should I translate it?

mellow topaz Sep 30, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

Finnish doesn't really have a good substitute for the word drone.
Yes, the literal translation works well for the drones OMEN spawns, but for Bosco and Lloyd it's not at all fitting.

#

What others could you suggest?

boreal quest Sep 30, 2020, 7:43 PM

Robots?

foggy steppe Sep 30, 2020, 7:44 PM

You can see all strings, don't worry.

If you are on Crowdin then you should see all the things.

mellow topaz Sep 30, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

where does CE9C0DAF4338CA95B773E18A107015E2 show up in-game?

#

for when you've slotted in a matrix core in a machine event and ended the mission without reclaiming it?

sage tangle Sep 30, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

That string is 9 months old and not used so far.

#

I assume a scrapped reward mechanic for machine events how to get your cores

#

No wait

#

that string IS used

#

when you enter a matrix core but do not claim a reward on the core infuser

#

you get that line on the space rig

#

@mellow topaz no, typos are not to be translated :)
Plus you don't see the #12345 on discord, it's just for you to see in game and on crowdin and compare which is which

mellow topaz Sep 30, 2020, 8:05 PM

sage tangle Sep 30, 2020, 8:07 PM

#

Yeah azerty and I pestered Jacob and Soren for something like that, we got it half a year ago 🙂

#

Either he or I run his bot over those strings to make unique IDs (other than the automatic ones which are way too long) so all languages have something to look up if unsure about double strings and not yet included strings (basically everything ingame you see without #12345 is not in crowdin as string, else it would have a number)

FYI
https://steamcommunity.com/app/548430/eventcomments/2941371547489340450/

The second piece of news is about the release date. We’ve previously aimed for launching Update 32 on October 8, but after some closer scrutiny, we have realized that we have to push the update two weeks to October 22. The content and missions needs a bit more refinement and a safer escort to a release ready state.

.

Update 32 - DLC reveal and delayed release date :: Deep Rock Galact...

I've accidentally created the best flippin' translation of gunk seed possible

#

It's got gunk. It's got seed. It's got balls and it's got caligula reference (sexually perverted roman guy)

wild jungle Oct 1, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

alright, 5k words left and the translations done

#

shouldnt take too much time considering the latest patch notes are rather lengthy and easy to translate

#

if only there was someone to help me out

small kernel Oct 1, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

@wild jungle You're not alone, I'm the only one who translates the Turkish language

#

I mean, we're both lonely people who translate our languages and it's so hard I know

wild jungle Oct 1, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

technically speaking i also got Dragon that helps with choosing most fitting words so

#

like we had a solid debate on how to translate ||morkite wells|| since theres a bunch of different terms for that in 🇵🇱

small kernel Oct 1, 2020, 6:03 PM

#

That's good, I'll look at your language and try to help a little as much as I can

wild jungle Oct 1, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

I'm fine, thanks, the translation would be done before oct 8 with no sweat anyway

#

patch notes alone take 2.5k out of 5k words and its like 2-3h of work tops

@small kernel what does one need to do in order to help out with translations? I can try to help out with the Turkish one if needed

small kernel Oct 3, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

@native bramble alright good question. I don't know the German language but if there are pre-translated strings or TM and MT suggestions, I help by looking at the translation again according to them

#

and are you from turkey?

lean ocean Oct 3, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

@sage tangle ||Mandarin translation was perviously outsourced to NetEase, Soren just helps upload their translation.||

native bramble Oct 3, 2020, 9:57 AM

#

and are you from turkey?
@small kernel yes I am

#

And if all I have to do is check or write corrections that should be easy

#

Although I am up to learning a bit of coding even if that’s needed

twin falcon Oct 3, 2020, 10:23 AM

#

There is no coding involved in it

shell vine Oct 3, 2020, 11:11 AM

@native bramble No need for coding or anything fancy to help on the translation, all you need is an account on : https://crowdin.com/project/deep-rock-galactic and you can start

Another boring question, because 🇭🇺 is a complicated language: when objectives are displayed such as ||Crack The Shell|| should that be translated in a way its meant to be said to a group or to individuals?

shell vine Oct 3, 2020, 11:38 AM

#

if possible, try to translate it as an indication, like what would be written on a road sign.

twin falcon Oct 3, 2020, 11:40 AM

#

Then that would be singular, as its meant for each driver separately

I learned QWERTY so fast that I wish it were my native layout

shell vine Oct 3, 2020, 4:41 PM

There is a debug mode for all the text in the game, intended to allow a precise identification of which string (a piece of text) is which, and to give an insight to translators which ones are not currently available for translation.

To activate the option, you will have to go to the escape menu, in the UI tab, and tick the box saying "enable localization debug mode (ctrl + o)"

Once this is done, pressing the CTRL and the O key at the same time will switch the game's layout to debug mode, where all strings on screen are replaced by their unique ID number, in the form "#XXXXX".
Some strings in the game may change depending on the context by calling another string, these ones will be shown between parenthesis, like so : "#XXXXX(#XXXXX)"

EDIT : Since the patchnotes were moved to be in their own folder, the strings from said folder have IDs following this pattern : PXXXXX

Underneath are screencaps showing the menu and the box that needs to be ticked, as well as an example of what the game looks like in debug mode

The example picture has two strings not in ID mode : The "BESTIARY" one, in the list on the left, and the big "*MINER'S MANUAL" in the middle.
- The bestiary one is an example of strings not available for translation (most of the time, an oversight from the devs), and must be reported as a bug, see the pinned messages in #translation-spoilers (or ask a community translator if don't have access).
- The miner's manual one though, is not a bug, but is instead an image, and as such are not available for translation, but, there is a but, they can be translated by editing the image and modding the game to replace the original with the translated version. These (quite rare), should not be reported.

I'm gonna translate all the old patch notes after I'm finished with everything else since they are low priority imo

Good luck, you'll need it (Also, you'll need a proofreader access for all patchnotes before 1.0, they are now hidden on crowdin)

Someone suggested a good solution: save both english and translated version, then compare english ones and add sth to your former translated

shell vine Oct 5, 2020, 8:27 AM

That's basically what I do, I just use a text comparator to spot the pieces that changed, And I'l focus on these. If needed I have all different versions of the patchnote for U32.

@copper iris taken down capital letters and space before punctuation are not mistakes though. French and English have different rules on the matter and we're applying the french ones in the translation. Telling you that so you can ignore those and write as you would in french.

copper iris Oct 6, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

But It depends on the context for the capital letters

But It depends on the context for the capital letters
@copper iris Yes indeed.

copper iris Oct 6, 2020, 2:34 PM

And for the punctuation you need to put a space after I think

Like this. You need to put the space after

But there were string with punctuation like this .

Yes but I'm taking about those spaces in particular => "Hello !"

Hello, guys. I received a message from EmpereurGano1 to give a hand with English to French translation and vice versa. I'm new to the Discord (just joined yesterday). If you have some questions or want more details, feel free to contact me.

@opaque frigate Hello there ! I'm one of the french proofreader for the game.
Is there anything specific you want to know ? ^^

#

Hi, I'm new too, can I help with english to french translation ? I'm not a professionnal, I'm just willing to help 🙂

slim verge Oct 8, 2020, 7:28 AM

#

@gleaming bay Hello ! Don't worry, we're not professional either. ^^

#

If you wanna help, you can get into Crowdin, make an account and translate from here.

#

We'll ask a mod to give you the translator role as well so you can coordinate with us.

#

(You can get the link to the project in the pinned messages)

gleaming bay Oct 8, 2020, 7:32 AM

#

Thank you for all these informations

slim verge Oct 8, 2020, 7:34 AM

#

You're welcome

#

Granted, at the moment, we don"t have much to do.

#

It doesn't mean we can't use help though.

#

Even though our translators are doing incredibly fast and efficient work, having more people in the team also means more ideas and less work for the whole team.

#

We don't have any imperative either, except sticking around on discord and crowdin. ^^

#

@gleaming bay Tell me once you get that crowdin account

gleaming bay Oct 8, 2020, 7:42 AM

#

@slim verge Just finished my inscription

slim verge Oct 8, 2020, 7:43 AM

#

Nice

#

You can now "start" the translation 😄

#

Ask away if you have any questions

#

Guys, non-language related bugs can be reported here or we do it through JIRA? Its related to a textbox going out of the screen if certain strings are too long, so it sort of concerns the translation part. How are you guys doing it in these cases?

candid crater Oct 8, 2020, 4:21 PM

#

Our team tries to shorten strings

leaden sapphire Oct 8, 2020, 4:22 PM

#

In our case it wont be possible, and I have seen that in other languages is also not straightforward, since they have the same issue.

slim verge Oct 8, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

Pretty sure you can report it through JIRA

leaden sapphire Oct 8, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

Will do, just wanted to know when the bug is in between a common bug and a linguistic bug if we could report it directly as we usually do in here. Thanks pounce.

sage tangle Oct 8, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

Do you have a Screenshot of it? (Maybe + #12345 Number?)

leaden sapphire Oct 8, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

I have a screenshot, but not of a debug mode. Want me to post it here and explain with debug mode?

#

Just a sec

#

So the issue is that in the statistics box of the oppresor (I guess in others as well), the weakpoint sentence does not show up.

#

That happens because the combinations between #08669 , #09835 , #08670 , #10446 , #09833 , #10443 and #10637 are too long to fit

#

In english, "melee" and "bite" go in one line, but in Spanish (and in some other languages, as I have checked right now), it is not possible to make both attacks fit in one row, or three special attacks fit in two rows. It therefore displaces the last row, which cannot be seen.

#

I will delete all this if you believe it's spam, jsut wanted to know how to report it properly to avoid being thrashtalked afterwards

shell vine Oct 8, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

That definitely counts as a bug Mira, you should ping Fran as well as reporting it on Jira. Great job catching it !

leaden sapphire Oct 8, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

How does the "ping Fran" thing work?

#

If I may ask?

#

No problem, you know...sometimes just playing it through weird things show up 🙂

#

Should I delete it to avoid thrash talk here?

Nice catch petbug

copper iris Oct 8, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

Idk if there are english correctors in here but there is an error in the fester flea page

foggy steppe Oct 8, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

You don't have to delete imo, it's related to translations

copper iris Oct 8, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

@copper iris There's no english translators. The english version is all done by the devs.

#

Just report it on crowdin

copper iris Oct 8, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

Ok thx

#

It’s not on crowdin

#

Is it on the wiki page? Idk

#

@slim verge

slim verge Oct 8, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

Just found it on Crowdin

#

It's been reported already anyway

@copper iris In any case, when you find one of these, chack on crowdin if there is a comment saying it was reported or not. If not, just post it here, we have a way to push these to the devs.

I meant in a general way, there are probably more of these lying around

copper iris Oct 8, 2020, 6:42 PM

#

Yes surely

#

I’m translating French but someone in #bug-discussion that saw it

#

I didn’t saw it myself

shell vine Oct 8, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

Same thing, don't worry, the important part is that it was reported.

slim verge Oct 9, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

@native token Hello there. Could you give the translator_fr role to @gleaming bay and @opaque frigate please ? ^^

native token Oct 9, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

apologies for the delay I was recording, done

slim verge Oct 9, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

No problem ! Thank you !

If I recall correctly, typos are reported here, right?

I think it should be "received"

#

Also, I need to get a screenshot for it next time, but there was one instance that a dwarf said "I can't breathe!" when low on oxygen. But instead of "breathe", the text said "breath".
