did y'all translate the beer names? I'm wondering that, because they all have their own beer labels that can't be translated.

slim verge Oct 11, 2020, 12:12 PM

in the french translation, we didn't 'cause those are brand's names

We left the names as is in the ordering sentences, same way you would say irl when ordering a foreign brand

slim verge Oct 11, 2020, 12:16 PM

Well, as I said, we didn't translate the name at all

There was one guy who wanted (or was?) learning german, please stand up 😄

boreal quest Oct 11, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

We did translate them

#

It's a cultural thing, mostly because a lot of 🇭🇺 can't speak any foreign language and can't assume they would know what the name means. With translated names they can connect the effect, and the original label also provides a little learning exercise.

mellow topaz Oct 11, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

the problem is there's no Finnish equivalent for all the different beer variant names

shell vine Oct 11, 2020, 1:30 PM

And it would not be possible to leave them as is ?

boreal quest Oct 11, 2020, 1:38 PM

If you want to translate just work around it and find synonyms.

Skullcrusher is 🇭🇺 Braincrusher
Seasoned Moonrider is 🇭🇺 Spicy Moon horserider
And so on.

I always like to bring up Dune as a great example of translation. If they could translate "stillsuit" as "cirkoruha," which is pretty much means circulation suit, then we can do anything~

"As long as it sounds good, you're doing a great job" That's how you are supposed to translate the names.

We (pretty much just me, cause I'm lone translator) translated/is in process of translating beer names for pretty much the same reason as Stiny said, although Czechia is supposedly better educated in English.

foggy pawn Oct 11, 2020, 5:12 PM

I didn't cuz it's really unique name and doesn't need translation for that

leaden sapphire Oct 12, 2020, 10:26 AM

Plus artwork displayed in the shop for the beer labels wont be translated, as its artwork, not strings. Pretty much the only reason for not translating them myself either (would have loved to transcreate beer names though, I admit) 🙂

sage tangle Oct 12, 2020, 11:37 AM

the only point where it makes sense is actually Voldemort for that damn anagram thing

#

'I am lord Voldemord'

#

In EN it's Tom Malboro Riddle or something, in German it's 'Vorlost' as it needs to read 'I Am Lord Voldemord'

#

mort

#

Which NEVER made sense to me, as
a) if you rearrange your letters, you want to use all of them for your name and NOT include 'I am'
b) if you hate your muggle name, why should you use their letters to make your new name?

Blonde ales are very pale in colour. The term "blonde" for pale beers is common in Europe and South America – particularly in France, Belgium, the UK, and Brazil

Hi, curious to hear how are people translating "roughnecks" in their respective languages.
Are people translating as describing a hard-boiled/badass/rough person, or as referencing the role/person who works in the drilling rig? (I'm imaging being the former, but wanted to check 🤔)

twin falcon Oct 12, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

sage tangle Oct 12, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

Leathernecks apparently

elfin venture Oct 13, 2020, 6:02 AM

#

Do you have any appropriate words in your language, that references a person who's work consists of hard manual labor? With that, you could keep the intended reference to oil drilling (mostly) intact, without using the word itself.

leaden sapphire Oct 13, 2020, 7:52 AM

#

We have used one of the translations of "worker", which is only used for people who work on construction, repairing and similar tasks. It brings by itself the feeling of a dirty person who works a lot, gets paid too little and others, like drinking beer so...pretty on spot, I would say.

slim verge Oct 13, 2020, 9:55 AM

#

roughneck is "supposed" to be translated as either "oil-rig worker" or like some kind of badass. We went for the latter because we have better words for those.

foggy steppe Oct 13, 2020, 9:56 AM

#

I translated it as something like toughman

slim verge Oct 13, 2020, 9:56 AM

#

we have something which can be roughly translated as "hard to boil" meaning that they are tough and experienced

For that reason I don't think there's a reason to capitalize enor

#

Ommoran is special though

#

It's not just a mineral

boreal quest Oct 18, 2020, 9:10 AM

#

Capitalising Enor makes it have focus, since it's a fantasy word.

#

But it's not grammatically correct for sure.

But also make sure to obey your language's capitalization rules

boreal quest Oct 18, 2020, 9:15 AM

#

Those need the capital letter.

foggy steppe Oct 18, 2020, 9:16 AM

boreal quest Oct 18, 2020, 9:18 AM

Yup. I think keeping things like Glyphid Warden capitalised gives them focus when being read.

mellow topaz Oct 18, 2020, 9:18 AM

capitalization has always been a tightrope walk in the FI translation

boreal quest Oct 18, 2020, 9:18 AM

Considering how all over the place the subtitles are.

mellow topaz Oct 18, 2020, 9:18 AM

#

because even with enemies (like in Stiny's message), Finnish translations almost never capitalize anything that isn't grammatically correct to capitalize

#

even when the point is to draw attention

boreal quest Oct 18, 2020, 9:19 AM

#

Hungarian does not do it either.

#

The thing is, a Warden is very specific.

#

If we don't capitalise it then it could lose its meaning.

foggy steppe Oct 18, 2020, 9:21 AM

#

I for example kept Management capitalized because it's higher authority that has respect (like german Führer)

#

Not sure if you can apply this in your language

boreal quest Oct 18, 2020, 9:22 AM

#

It can be applied, yeah. It's a higher entity, and giving it a capital letter would make it have power.

foggy steppe Oct 18, 2020, 9:22 AM

It's not a management it's The Management :)

boreal quest Oct 18, 2020, 9:23 AM

#

Should I leave it like that?

#

To be fair, that word is also highlighted in the game.

foggy steppe Oct 18, 2020, 9:25 AM

I would definitely not leave that capitalized, mostly because we don't have word for cosmetics that doesn't mean make-up and shit so we/I use cosmetic items

Hah so it's pretty much the same for me I used šatník which is like your gardrób i suppose

This is nonsense right? (One of Smart Stout lines)
@foggy steppe Actually no, I had a friend of mine that knows these things help to translate the smart stout lines because they use specific words, and he confirmed it was true. (right @chilly orbit ?)

@foggy steppe @boreal quest @mellow topaz Capitalization in english is a bit of a weird cookie, since their grammar rules basically allow them to capitalize any word in a sentence to emphasize it (US english at least, as far as my lessons in that go *really way back). Most european languages don't have that as a thing at all, so you should always try to stick to your languages rules before sticking to what was originally written, because, in the end, we translate the game for people that don't speak or read english, so the goal is to make as native possible for someone that does not understand what is said in the game, and whose only basis of understanding is what you have written.

Although Management or management is a legitimate question in english as well (and both versions are present quite a lot in the game), both are actually fine since "Management" is an entity, not a person, so in english, they are allowed to emphasize it as they wish, whenever they want. In your language, you should go from the following : would you put a capital when a colleague of yours talks about your boss ?

Ping me if more questions, I'm a bit out of it these days.

boreal quest Oct 18, 2020, 4:46 PM

We have very specific rules about what sorts of things are to be written with a capital letter, one of them including if it's a poetic expression, if it is an emphasis of something.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold#Color

Whereas most metals are gray or silvery white, gold is slightly reddish-yellow.[21] This color is determined by the frequency of plasma oscillations among the metal's valence electrons, in the ultraviolet range for most metals but in the visible range for gold due to relativistic effects affecting the orbitals around gold atoms.[22][23] Similar effects impart a golden hue to metallic caesium.

Gold

Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au (from Latin: aurum) and atomic number 79, making it one of the higher atomic number elements that occur naturally. In a pure form, it is a bright, slightly reddish yellow, dense, soft, malleable, and ductile metal. Chemically, gold...

It really is up to you, the most important is that it seems normal for someone that would only ever know the translated version.
Our goal with the translations of the game is to make it accessible for people with no knowledge of the original text, and no way of knowing it else than what you give them.
In order, you should follow these guidelines (guidelines = not an obligation) :

Carry through the meaning of what is translated
Sound normal in your language
Respect your language rules
Carry the unique humor/jokes/tone in the original text

I know it's solved already, but if it helps, I'm a chemistry researcher as main job so the sentence provided for gold is correct. I just wouldnt describe it as plasma oscillations, but more as "emitted radiation", but the use of such terms could be somehow discussed, I assume (personal professinal preference).

P.S: Never trust wikipedia for that sort of stuff 😛

I wondered about that plasma there too, wasn't that some super-state of matter?
@sage tangle yes, it is. Something you would describe as a solid-liquid-gas mixture state, so to speak. But long story short: it's a field where discovering what happens 100% sure its impossible, and therefore any theory is as acceptable as the proofs you have. So calling it plasma oscillations or radiation emission is as true as you find info which supports it.

#

You shouldnt call it "pieces of banana transfered between valency electrons" though

sage tangle Oct 19, 2020, 12:48 PM

#

But gold shines in solid ... there's no plasma in solid gold is there? <_< so that plasma line is off?

leaden sapphire Oct 19, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

The level at which those transitions happen is at nuclear level, where you can't speak about state of the matter ("state of matter" is something associated with a group of atoms or molecules). That's why I will never call it plasma oscillations, unless other people use the word plasma at atomic levels, which as I say I've never used myself.

#

In fact, I've just found that people call "plasma oscillations" to energy waves, which is completely out of what a chemistry would call it and most likely comes from a physician perspective.

#

In any case, we are transcreating sometimes here. A bit of mixed sciences never hurts, I'm sure you all have invented some nice science in your translations as well 😛

#

BTW hope you are all having a nice week so far and going good on translation tasks!

sage tangle Oct 19, 2020, 12:54 PM

#

German Gold Article on wikipedia has a STAR, but nothing specific about the colour except
'Due to relativistic effects on electronic orbital bla can't translate'

#

Oh no I'm mistaken.

So entsteht die gelbliche Farbe durch Absorption im Frequenzbereich der Komplementärfarbe Blau. Ursache dafür ist die auf Grund relativistischer Effekte vergleichsweise kleine Bandlücke zwischen dem 6s- und den 5d-Orbitalen.[73][74][75] Während energiereiche blaue Photonen absorbiert werden und zu Elektronenübergängen führen, werden die anderen, weniger energiereichen Photonen (grün, gelb, rot) aus dem Spektrum sichtbaren Lichts reflektiert, wodurch die gelbe Färbung entsteht.[76]
Means: A 'relativistic' (?) effect due to small distances between Oribtal 6s and 5d> blue photons get absorbed while red yellow green get reflected, hence the gold shine

leaden sapphire Oct 19, 2020, 12:55 PM

#

Anything with relativistic you should run away from it. It basically means "from my perspective I think there is an idea that points to the proposal of a scheme of a..."

#

Exactly! That is a good description of colors. Emitted radiation, and photons getting absorbed or reflected

sage tangle Oct 19, 2020, 12:56 PM

#

I like the english wikis description better. It's more pregnant and short, and a layman can understand it too with basic chemical knowledge.

Whoops, wrong chat

candid crater Oct 21, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

So the question is: is "Resources.Resources" for "full" phrase only? It just feels too generic

slim verge Oct 21, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

French did once manage to make the game crash with a wrong translation
@sage tangle when ? xD

candid crater Oct 21, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

NO

#

"Nitra full" and "Nitra" as shown in inventory are the same strings

#

FFS

signal prism Oct 21, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

I only think of a few things: ultrainappropiate stuff, unicode breakage or writing codebreaking stuff like writing "null" as a windows folder name

candid crater Oct 21, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

Probably just translated internal value

signal prism Oct 21, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

Oh, so basically he translated {this stuff}

#

Or similar to that

shell vine Oct 21, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

"Nitra full" and "Nitra" as shown in inventory are the same strings
@candid crater Yes, full is just added after the "full" ressource, health as well

candid crater Oct 21, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

Since both nitra and gold only appear on missions (Gold is turned into credits later), will I ruin anything by changing nitra>bag for nitra and same for gold?

shell vine Oct 21, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

probably, gold is also used on mission end screen, don't know if it is the same string

candid crater Oct 21, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

This is disastrous

#

Our lang has three gendera applied to anything: he she it
Nitra is she
Gold is it
Morkite is he
Umanite blah blah blah
And by default full is used as description and by default is 'he'

#

But even for morkite that doesn't work this simple

#

It sounds like you fill morkite, not the pouch for morkite

sage tangle Oct 21, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

ah yes, the old problem

shell vine Oct 21, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

We have the same thing in french (only two genders, but still, same root problem)

It sounds like you fill morkite, not the pouch for morkite < Exept for that part, it just looks bad in french because the grammar is wrong
We already asked the devs about that, but no answer, and we can be pretty sure it will not be touched in U32

what do you think should be done with the assignment anagrams?

like PRASAH being short for PrestigeAssignmentArmorHunt

some languages made new ones from their own full translation, but many kept them intact

twin falcon Oct 24, 2020, 9:30 AM

#

I'd say just translate the full thing to the best of your ability and make a short version based off of that one.

#

And that goes as a general rule of thumb, for anything that has a full name and a short version

shell vine Oct 24, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

Debug mode is currently broken inside the equipement terminal, none of the strings that were modified for the balancing are shown as their #00000 number, and are displayed in english instead. I didn't have the time to check other terminals/places, but if you do find other places where the debug mode is broken, please tell.
The concerned strings are still displayed in the translated language, so there is that, I guess.

While it is a funny joke, it is my opinion that is has no place in a game localization

slim verge Oct 24, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

what's the joke ?

stiff canyon Oct 24, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

It looks a lot like the moustache of a fairly famous Russian film director, Nikita Mikhalkov. He's known for having a successful film director father, directing some pretty big Russian movies (if he plays a role, it's always that of an emperor/noble/good officer/a kind wise man, etc), patronizing and somewhat extravagant speeches, and getting all the contracts for state-funded movies, which lean heavily on propaganda.

#

So instead of "Watson", this moustache is just called "Mikhalkov's Moustache"

foggy steppe Oct 24, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

Maybe they thought it was better fitting that Watson (which I assume is meant to be watson from Sherlock?)

stiff canyon Oct 24, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

I will never believe that Mikhalkov is more recognizable in Russia than Watson from Sherlock Holmes

foggy steppe Oct 24, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

I don't know I was just spitballing idea

stiff canyon Oct 24, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

And even if he was, this kind of joke fits in a gag dub/gag translation, not a game localization.

shell vine Oct 24, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

It's actually the Watson's mustache from Tintin, the comic books (and then films, cartoons, etc.)

#

So, did some tests, debug mode is broken for all of the U32 text, as far as I was able to check.

sage tangle Oct 24, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

Tbh the cosmetics are just silly names to recognize them. Why I don't know the recognition value of both in that country, I did smaller iterations of this in German.

#

We don't have a "handlebar" translation. We don't use that image. It sounded totally wrong when I started out and it was just translated. I changed some of them along the lines of
Rotzbremse
Which lit means Snot-Break(er)

They're not a fluent text nor in universe thing, just funny / silly descriptions. So as long as it isn't obscene but fitting the beard or helmet, it's fine to adjust that translation to something more fitting

But I THOUGHT that it is about companion of Sherlock

At least this translation doesn't contain common issue 🤣

Nice

foggy steppe Oct 25, 2020, 8:41 AM

#

What?! Common! Issue!?

candid crater Oct 25, 2020, 9:09 AM

#

As I can see there are quite some people hinking it was Sherlock Holmes reference

foggy steppe Oct 25, 2020, 9:10 AM

#

Probably because it's the most famous Watson

boreal quest Oct 25, 2020, 9:15 AM

#

I wonder if the French folk recognised it and how fast.

shell vine Oct 25, 2020, 9:42 AM

#

0.2sec

boreal quest Oct 25, 2020, 10:06 AM

#

Reasonably fast.

boreal quest Oct 25, 2020, 10:23 AM

I would love to get some advice or examples how the "drill-by shooting" has been translated by others. I am trying to think of maybe a more non-english expression.

shell vine Oct 25, 2020, 10:27 AM

#

For french, it's "Fusillade en forant", which is a quite litteral translation of the pun ('Drive-by' => shooting out of a moving vehicule, has no direct equivalent in french, so we used 'fusillade', which means 'shoot out' or 'gunfight', and 'en forant' which means 'while drilling')

mossy egret Oct 25, 2020, 10:29 AM

#

I translated it to "Schießerei im Vorbei-bohren" which has the meaning of Shooting while Drilling past them

boreal quest Oct 25, 2020, 10:30 AM

#

It will have to be something like that, yeah

mossy egret Oct 25, 2020, 10:31 AM

#

I was quite lucky because Drive-by shooting has a translation in the german language so i just changed driving to drilling

#

German superior

You are just lucky for sharing a base language.

I can't hear you over the sounds of being superior

Mhm maybe

boreal quest Oct 25, 2020, 10:35 AM

Okay, good.

@foggy steppe the host guy of this show speaks in a palóc dialect, which even we normal hungarians find ultraweird

@lean ocean Just wait, they can only be updated by a manual action from the devs. It's sunday, we'll remind them tomorrow

foggy steppe Oct 25, 2020, 12:39 PM

#

Oh no I gotta translate it

#

Eyy, nice one.

foggy steppe Oct 25, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

It appears I shouldn't translate rich presence

📎 unknown.png

#

It's supposed to say Inženýr

#

wait, there's not discord rich presence only steams, does it use the same strings?

shell vine Oct 25, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

yes

#

Discord taps directly from steam

foggy steppe Oct 25, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

What do you think is better, normalizing the text so it has no special characters or leave it untranslated?

signal prism Oct 25, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

I would leave it be with special characters

#

Cuz its the problem of discord and steam to not handle these well. It works right in the game, right? Then dont remove them for the sake of outside programs

foggy steppe Oct 25, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

Well steam handles it fine

#

it's discord that's yucky

signal prism Oct 25, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

Even better then

#

Keep them all

#

We dont cater just for the sake of discord

foggy steppe Oct 25, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

hmm it appears discord doesn't take it from steam rich presence strings, but directly from in game

📎 unknown.png

#

📎 unknown.png

#

wait no

#

I have no idea where those strings are coming from because they don't match with even month old ones on crowdin

#

Alright so it appears both steam and discord take it from Biome names from game localization not steam rich presence

#

So that makes it impossible for me to try to fix...

boreal quest Oct 25, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

Discord is just dumb.

#

Although, it could be something else.

#

The mission ending screen does not like accented characters in the game.

foggy steppe Oct 25, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

There's something wrong with steam too because it showed I'm doing deep dive while it was escort duty

regal heart Oct 25, 2020, 3:43 PM

The Beam DPS for the Breach Cutter doesn’t display the good value (ei the good numbers) in most languages.
The only languages displaying the real DPS values are English, Chinese (both), Japanese, Spanish (Latin America), Korean.

foggy steppe Oct 26, 2020, 8:00 AM

Damn steam achievements haven't been update in a long time, there's more than 5 months old strings

One man team isn't that bad actually
I mean two or three is better but anything more than that requires some methods to be used in order to prevent misusing words, a team needs a QA as well

Agree, as long as you have enough time to translate everything on your own, working alone is great since its the best way to keep all terms, formatting etc consistent across all strings

foggy steppe Oct 26, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

If only I had time 😅

sage tangle Oct 26, 2020, 2:20 PM

placid rapids Oct 26, 2020, 2:21 PM

not like they add that much new material every update

candid crater Oct 26, 2020, 2:25 PM

Quick question, do you guys keep your lang auditory in touch via social media whenever hotfixes come out as news rather than strings to be officially in game?

sage tangle Oct 26, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

tbh i think the game is to small for that many translators
@placid rapids
Not sure if trolling? Until a language is translated 100%, you can't have enough of translators. After it's good to have at least 4 active ones to keep up and come up with improvements, proofreading, alternatives, opinions

#

A translator team is doing work for thousands of players of their language

placid rapids Oct 26, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

no

#

i mean for a single language

#

like do you really need 4 people for a single language in a game this size?

copper iris Oct 26, 2020, 2:42 PM

#

He’s trying to say, that’s there’s never enough translators

#

Yes

#

Yes you need as much people as possible

#

So it’s faster and the devs aren’t waiting after you

#

And it will be more precise and there will be more brains and ideas

leaden sapphire Oct 26, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

Also the perspective from a single translator could be biased. What you think it's correct it might not be what players want to read. You might be missing something if you only compare your work with yourself.

placid rapids Oct 26, 2020, 2:44 PM

#

ah fair point

leaden sapphire Oct 26, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

As far as I know, for example the german and the french team usually have discussions to find the best word, and I'm sure all of them have the translation right on point by themselves.

#

But their team polishes it so that it's not only good, but perfect. Jokes, sentence tone...lots of things your mind can escape from when translating tons of lines.

#

At least that's how I see it. But you can indeed do it alone, with time and experience, and time 😛

sage tangle Oct 26, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

Oh yes, that's very helpful. Before I had to discuss it with myself.
We recently changed the system the enemies are named. Had bothered me for months, but I couldn't be assed to do it, low priority. Thanks to the other german translators now it was done within a week and I'm happy whenever I see a nametag of an enemy ingame now.
