But I had a really toxic "relationship", which brought me into a sort of addiction, so I stopped playing so much and started focusing on more important things

[sage tangle]

Soo why not play?

[kind shale]

Cause it did a lotta harm to me

No joke

Well, I like a bunch of other things too, not just games

Recently, I've translated for Minecraft. I even got some of my translations approved, and it was amazing

Can I upload a photo here?

[sage tangle]

you need to pick a role in #welcome-and-rules and then you can post to #drg-gallery

[kind shale]

I was going to post something not related to DRG

[shell vine]

If it's related to the translations, you can post it here.
Else, we have #non-drg-chat

[kind shale]

Should we translate the names of the DLC packs?

[shell vine]

You can, but they will still be displayed in English on steam, and this cannot be changed.
For french, we chose to leave them as they were because of this.

[kind shale]

Bah, then I won't translate

[kind shale]

I've got a problem with "Heavy Duty Fixer"
Should "fixer" be actually someone, a mechanic or engineer for example, that fixes things; or someone who "fixes" people's problems? say, if two dwarves are having an argument, the "fixer" comes up and tries to negotiate

[shell vine]

Could you send me the context for that string ?

[kind shale]

It's a headwear you get on Roughneck DLC

[shell vine]

That's the name of an equipment

[kind shale]

Yeah, but what does "fixer" mean?

Not an easy one

[shell vine]

Considering the roughneck DLC came out with the refinery update, I would say it's more in the repairing things sense

But, ultimately, it's just a name for an item, so you have free reign here as long as the name you give it still makes sense in your language. You don't have to stick to what the devs wrote if it's impossible to translate nicely.

[kind shale]

Ok, thanks

[short abyss]

former

[kind shale]

uh

[short abyss]

(imo)

just a heavy duty helmet for a fixer

[kind shale]

you mean the first, or the last meaning?

[short abyss]

former is 1st

[kind shale]

Right

[hidden dirge]

Looks & meaning > faithfulness to the original

[kind shale]

What?

[hidden dirge]

Nothing really, it's in reference to the discussion about the helmet and how having the translation being understandable and fitting in the context of that language is more important than keeping the translation faithful to the original English words

[kind shale]

Yes, absolutely

People put "fixador pesado" (I can't stand the cringe)

[hidden dirge]

I'm glad we agree ^^

[shell vine]

<@&296918282403840000>

omg he's coming after me

Why'd you call the Moderators?

[shell vine]

Scam message

[kind shale]

ah

[shell vine]

They often just remove the scam, and the ping later, so people know why there is a ghost ping in the channel

[light quest]

Well that maybe why you saw the at Mod.

[light quest]

Seems like "xxx has joined the game " cannot be translated?

[mellow topaz]

elaborate?

do you mean it remains in English, no matter the language?

That might be a case of broken translation ID then

[small kernel]

@mellow topaz it remains in English, I reported this but not fixed yet

[mellow topaz]

kk

[light quest]

btw theres no string related to that on Crowdin

[shell vine]

Didn't see it on the Jira subtask, so I added it.
https://ghostshipgames.atlassian.net/browse/DRG-3774

[small kernel]

In here: https://ghostshipgames.atlassian.net/browse/DRG-2716

Question
Should "backup" here be translated or just leave it untranslated as "backup"

[sharp dagger]

Since I figure GSG are only checking save files for the exact English word "backup", I would keep "backup" as-is, so no translation.

Translate every word from that string except "backup".

(At least my best guess)
(Add: Maybe even set the word like this in the translation: > ... "backup" < to make it clearer.)

[sage tangle]

Untranslated.
This is because the game automatically sets more invisible savegame files and names them 'Backup'.

Jokes on you, I name my backups BU ...

nobody got time to type that whole thing 😄

[kind shale]

Should this joker thing be translated?

[dry cradle]

well, a big chunk of the translators did it, so there can be no harm, right lol

[kind shale]

Why did the developpers include this?

They were just being silly?

[dry cradle]

maybe its a test string for now

mostly sure of that

[kind shale]

You're the one that has just translated those 34 new strings into PT-PT?

[short abyss]

imo i dont translate them because it's something not meant to be seen in the game in the end

[kind shale]

Ahh, makes sense

[kind shale]

Thanks

What doesn't make sense is why they'd put this string on the file lol

[short abyss]

just leftovers

[dry cradle]

I translated some lol

I'm mainly the one behind pt-pt

[kind shale]

Hmm

[kind shale]

Let me ask: how did you get the "Community Translator" role?

[dry cradle]

By translating a good chunk of the game's text. You'll get your role too when you get there, don't worry lol

My PT is at around 30% done, just to give you some insight. The majority of it was made by me

[kind shale]

Hm hmm

Yeah, I'm planning to reach 20000+ words, which may take around four months

[vital marsh]

So, is there any chance of the upcoming board game being printed in multiple languages?

[boreal quest]

I was actually thinking that.

[slim verge]

take your time, it ain't a race. Not burning yourself out is important

[kind shale]

Haha I know

[summer coyote]

hi, i found a typo. "Usefull" with two Ls. i would give the ID of this text message, but for some reason, the localization debug mode doesn't work on it

[slim verge]

good catch 👌

[light quest]

anyone got a idea for what this means? Plus {count} additional {count}|plural(one=Mod, other=Mods)

Kinda lost back there.

[mellow topaz]

It is a format to be able to translate the word "mod" into both singular and plural, depending on the {count}

I'll capitalize the parts that need to be translated. Leave the rest as is!
PLUS {count} ADDITIONAL {count}|plural(one=MOD, other=MODS)

[light quest]

Removing them is fine?

I mean, those behind the "L"

[mellow topaz]

Why would you remove them?

[light quest]

Not needed?

[mellow topaz]

Does your language just not have a different word form for plural?

[light quest]

Well I translated that as {count} mods enabled

[mellow topaz]

But that sounds janky if there is only one mod enabled

Which that format is there to fix

[light quest]

uh... I hope there would be a experimental version sooner so I could check that...

[mellow topaz]

I showed you which words are translateable and which are parts of the format

[light quest]

🤦‍♂️

Alright...

[mellow topaz]

What the format means is if {count} is 1, it uses Mod, and if it is more than 1, it uses Mods

[light quest]

uh. We dont have a plural for that

We may use X 个 Mod (X Mods)

[mellow topaz]

So 1 mod installed and 2 mods installed would be identical, with the exception of the number?

You could probably technically remove it then, but it's probably better to still keep it and just out the same word in both fields

Better safe than sorry

[light quest]

Well, leaving it there, also looking forward 4 a experimental build to check if that should be removed.

[mellow topaz]

Halloween should arrive soon

[light quest]

Lets hope there would be a experimental build otherwise that would be a Disaster

[mellow topaz]

There'll always be hotfixes

[light quest]

😦

[mellow topaz]

If you're not sure that you did it right, post the translated string here and I'll check

[light quest]

已启用 {count} 个 Mod

[mellow topaz]

I suppose that would work
With the full variable string, it'd be 已启用 {count} {count}|plural(one=个 Mod, other=个 Mod) I suppose?

[light quest]

I think that would be too long...? Still have no idea.

sigh

Still have no idea about why is there two {count}

hold on.

[light quest]

Well just saw a similar string, that looks exactly like this, it helped. thanks

[mellow topaz]

The first {count} is the visible one. The second one doesn't display because of the formatting after it.

[obsidian nova]

Since there is no plural in Chinese languages, I have been simply ignore the format and keep it as
Eliminate {count} dreadnaught
Salvage {count} mule
Collect {count} egg
for Chinese Traditional so far (leaving just one objectives name, all in singular)

Would there be trouble if I do the same for this one🤔🤔
Format-wise I mean

[mellow topaz]

if the grammar is fine when you delete the others, then it should probably be fine here too

[light quest]

Yea, I think leaving the format intact is also okay to do

[kind shale]

In that string, "additional" should have two forms too (at least in Portuguese)

In Crowdin itself, there's a full system to create singular/plural/dual/whatever versions of the same string already customized for each language

The way this string was written, only the word "Mod" will change, but what about "additional", or even "plus"?

[mellow topaz]

If that's necessary then plonk the whole string into the format
Though maybe try to keep the {count} out, it might break something

The translator branch does update daily so you can easily revert your mistake

[shell vine]

It's not public yet, there are still bugs to fix

The first part is independent from the second :
Plus {count} additional {count}|plural(one=Mod, other=Mods)

The way the plural stuff work (IIrc), is that the variable is repeated to tell the plural formater on what to base the test, then the options come after it. you can add or remove options as needed, from the following : one few many other

See the archived thread for more info

[mellow topaz]

Oop, right

[dry cradle]

like so? Plus {count} {count}|plural(one=additional mod, other=additional mods)

[mellow topaz]

Yes, that should work

[dry cradle]

arent the privacy tab texts not supposed to be translated?

i saw the other day on pt-br they werent, and idk if they are on crowdin

the ones explaining, for example, what granular data is

[short abyss]

why not

[shell vine]

They are on crowdin, you should be able to translate them (I remember doing them myself)

[kind shale]

Found a nice translation for "slasher": Mutilador ("the one who mutilates")

[shell vine]

<@&296918282403840000>

[dry cradle]

not a bad idea, iirc i put it as a "butcher"??????????????????????????????????????????????????? so inb4 i steal that lol

[kind shale]

No problem "stealing" my translation

I think it'll fit for both PT

[dry cradle]

no wait, i changed it to assassin

nvm lol

[gray arrow]

Is there anyone working on translation to Lithuanian?

[slim verge]

I don't believe so

Lithuanian is not even in the languages being worked on atm

Though, this could be opened if we have people willing to work on the translation

[gray arrow]

I've never done translations like this, but always wanted to give it a go. I imagine it'd be quite the struggle to do it single-handedly. I'd be down to do some work on it if there's other people willing as well

[slim verge]

Well, at the moment, you're alone in this. Which is normal, since most people won't even think about helping with the translation when their language is not even in the work.

From my experience, if you start getting some work done and people are made aware of the language being worked on, some people will show up to help

And yes, you're not mistaken, it's quite a lot of work.

but you can always start small and you're not forced to dedicate any time to it if you don't want to, obviously. As community translators, we don't really have any engagement toward GSG.
Ultimately, we're all just doing it to help the community 😄

[gray arrow]

Awesome, thanks for the info. You're right, someone's gotta start it before other people notice it being worked on. I'll sleep on it and if I don't change my mind, I'll message here to ask on how to get started 👍

[slim verge]

Sounds good !

hopefully we'll see you around here again

And if you don't, heh, it's still fine of course

[sage tangle]

In case you decide you're interested, GSG just added https://crowdin.com/project/deep-rock-galactic/lt for you 😉
No strings attached

Feel free to ask any questions you have here, we're happy to help any translator 🙂

[dry cradle]

I'm theoretically the sole worker on eu-pt, and don't worry, you'll get the hang of it in no time

[gray arrow]

Ah, nice! No pressure then 😅

Just had a quick peek (I'm at work) and the process does look fairly straightforward!

[gray arrow]

Fun fact - there is no direct translation to the word 'dwarf' in Lithuanian (that I know of). The word "nykštukas" relates to both dwarves and gnomes, there is no distinction between the two words without context.

If you said the word "nykštukas" to anyone, they would almost never think of the word dwarf and they'd imagine a gnome (most likely a garden gnome).

I'm having an internal giggle imagining that word on its own - nykštukas - in the game without context and it's honestly so funny to me. Not least because the actual word is also in a diminutive state (think piglet > pig)

(after I've written this, I now imagine it's probably not that funny to non-speakers 😅)

Just google the word 'nykštukas' and you'll see what I mean

[boreal quest]

Do you have a word for a very short person?

[fresh wharf]

he has gnomai too but it might be different

[gray arrow]

Gnomai is plural of 'gnome'

[sage tangle]

DeVito

[gray arrow]

Yes, it's a completely different word for humans though

[boreal quest]

It's interesting, because we have törpe, and that is both a person with dwarfism, a very short person, and dwarves.

[gray arrow]

It's showing that the word "žemaūgis" translates into dwarf, but as you say it's related to people with dwarfism, not dwarves.

(as well as people that are short in general)

[fresh wharf]

neūžauga is single form?

[gray arrow]

That is more of a derogatory term for small people, again, doesn't really apply to dwarves

[boreal quest]

Do you have LotR available in Lithuanian?

Maybe you should cheat a bit.

[gray arrow]

Yep, it's the first thing I checked! And indeed they've translated it as "nykštukas Gimli"

Which, honestly, is piss-your-pants material to me 😄

[fresh wharf]

the translation I have is just loan word that sounds almost the same as original "dwarf"

we have gnomes, your nykštukas as well but it's all different too

[gray arrow]

I'd be against using the word 'nykštukas'. It's got a very strong association to gnomes and it's something Tolkien tried to avoid in his books (dwarves/dwarfs). I suppose you could say "dvarfas" or "dvorfas", but... I dunno. Just sounds so dirty to me.

[gray arrow]

What's the loan word?

[fresh wharf]

A word taken into one's own language from another language, generally with slight adaptation

might be paskolos žodis in your language

[gray arrow]

Sorry, I didn't mean that - I mean what is the actual loan word you've used?

[fresh wharf]

"dvorf" - written with latin letters

we don't have w... and my lang is phonetic

[gray arrow]

What's the language? Lithuanian is the same - no W or X

[fresh wharf]

ru

[gray arrow]

Ja v shkole uchylsa mnogo let nazad) Net mne s kem obshatsa po ruskyi, vapshe zabyl kak gavaritj

[fresh wharf]

on crowdin you can check other's lang translation with just 2 clicks btw

I usually check the langs which are being the most worked on like French

the more people translating the more people checked the translation

[gray arrow]

Oh nice, yeah I see it! Good shout, I can refer to Ru and stuff

[fresh wharf]

ru is more like a sum of individual translations to me

[light quest]

Welcome to the team I guess.

[gray arrow]

Thanks, I guess! 😅

Humble beginnings

Warm-up done

Cracks me up that it says "Achivements"

Also, I'm gutted @fresh wharf that the Abyss Bar is not called "Bar ZajABYSS" in Ru 😂 (jokes)

[sage tangle]

A good start! Before you go for allgametexts, try to do 'Glossary' first. This will help you a lot in the long run 🙂

[gray arrow]

Thanks!

I've checked the glossary, but not sure exactly how it helps with allgametexts - do you mean, for e.g., you can just look up the glossary to ensure consistency or is it something you can use to auto-translate words from glossary or something?

[sage tangle]

Consistency AND words like 'Glyphid Dreadnought' have a _ _ _ _ _ _ underneath, which shows you the glossary translation on mouseover

So once you settle for stuff in the glossary, it will show on mouseover. Technically you have TM (Translation Memory Suggestions) but they can vary if somebody screws them up.

[gray arrow]

Okay, that's helpful, thank you. I hope you can still override the glossary term for any specific phrase in allgametexts.

LTU, and other languages I'm sure, have lots of words that change their suffixes/prefixes depending on the sentence they're in so it makes logical sense to the reader.

Team - komanda
Help the team - padėk komandai
Team objectives - komandos tikslai

[shell vine]

The glossary will never fill a term in for you (not until you click on the word), and you can always change the sentence as you want before submitting it.

[fresh wharf]

that will matter for mission names

[gray arrow]

So mission names are always two words, and the first is always a possessive or an adjective, right?

Karl's Lament
Lucky Draw
Etc

[sage tangle]

We highly recommend skipping any {firstname} and {lastname} strings in the beginning

[shell vine]

Unfortunately, it's only most of the first that are possessives.
I would recommend not touching those for now, as they are tricky and time consuming to do right

[gray arrow]

Okay, thanks guys!

[small kernel]

Also if you need any context or something, you can ask here or leave comment on crowdin. Welcome to the team

#patch-notes-steam
- Added slovak language
@fading mirage @shadow lodge Congratulations

[shadow lodge]

yeaaa finally 👍

[shell vine]

<@&296918282403840000>

[fading mirage]

For Xbox too? Or only for steam version such as last update "modding update 34.5" (im offended to devs for ignoring MS 😤 ) Thanks for info

[sage tangle]

Microsoft has to 'approve' updates and they take at least 2 weeks, so.

Plus sometimes GSG 'bundles' hotfixes IIRC to not wait ages for MS

short: Xbox / MS sucks with patching

[sage tangle]

Plus Modding has to be an XBox thing, so also not possible

I mean you are playing on console, so obviously console does console stuff (lacking features, function, slower, yadda yadda. Nothing new)

[fading mirage]

from devs why they choose mod.io:

The key reason for choosing Mod.io was the Unreal SDK integration, support for the approval categories system that we are planning, and solutions for uploading mods to the platform. While all of the platforms we looked at had different benefits, Mod.io was the best fit for what we are trying to do. Mod.io also supports Windows 10 and Xbox

Few games have modding for xbox too...Fallout, Skyrim, FS19(21)...sure modding for xbox is more complicated but no impossible

[fading mirage]

This is true, but new gen. of consoles are enought powerfull, and DRG is not AAA game, he has low requirements

So, for 2 weeks we can start play on Slovak :) we re happy

[shell vine]

The other side of the problem is that GSG is still a small game studio, and they are regularly stretched in manpower to fix/do all what they want to...

[light quest]

hm, wheres the latest translatable patch note?

[shell vine]

Normally in the patch notes file, on crowdin

[light quest]

Didnt see that there

uh.

okay then

[shell vine]

I believe the devs forgot to update crowdin...

[light quest]

Probably so.

[light quest]

I think I havent saw that... oh wait, new notification....

duh, not new strings added.

[hidden dirge]

Haven't gotten an email, so I believe they did

[sage tangle]

You read your emails?

[light quest]

Last time that I received a "New Strings added" email is @ October 1st, 14:27 GMT+8

And the new ones that me and @lean ocean received does not includes "UNKNOWN" in mod filter and the new patch notes.

[hidden dirge]

Lol yeah, that's kinda how I keep track of when there's new lines

[small kernel]

"Show Only Modded Servers" is missing too

[somber gulch]

Hello there! Who's the one that aproves PT-BR translations? There some old ones that needs aproval. How does GSG uses the translations? Only the approved ones? Is it possible to become a Proofreader?

[shell vine]

Hello !

GSG takes translations as such :

Approved > most voted > most recent

As such, any time an update is made (and the devs don't forget to push the button), the strings are pulled from crowdin and added to the game.

As to becoming a proofreader, this is a trusted role that is given at the devs discretion if it is needed for a language.

(either because some very bad translations were approved in the past and the proofreader that approved them is no longer around, or because someone is trolling the language)

[shell vine]

Have you been working for long on the PT-BR translations ?

[somber gulch]

Yeah, For about a year. Its not constant but when i do i try to translate a lot.

And try to fix Syntaxis and Grammar error of already translated and approved strings

[shell vine]

Could you give me your crowdin handle, and the one of the proofreader that approved one of those strings please ?

[somber gulch]

Handle you mean profile name? If so mine is "hellpca (helderpca)". As for the Proofreader (The last activity) it`s "ethos"

[shell vine]

I took a look, and it would seem that ethos has not been active since may. If the issues you have made today are still around in a couple of days, feel free to ping me about it, but since proofreaders are mostly volunteers, we can't ask or expect them to be this reactive.

[somber gulch]

Ok, I get it.

[somber gulch]

Is there a crowdin app?

[dry cradle]

only on the web, afaik

[light quest]

Guess the devs forgot about this sigh

[crude relic]

[light quest]

Nice job but I think this is the wrong channel to post this

[west kite]

[crude relic]

oh, I completely missed what channel I was in.

[light quest]

Auto disabling outdated mods ...

well no string for that on Crowdin.

[small kernel]

They'll be added soon

[light quest]

welp.

[gray arrow]

Am I able to add notes next to my translation without it appearing to everyone on the comment thread?

For e.g. R&D - I want to say T&P but I want to leave myself a note that that refers to Tyrimai ir Plėtra somewhere without it appearing as a comment for everyone as it's not relevant

[shell vine]

I would recommend the glossary for this

The comments will always be available for everyone, as they are meant to enable communication between translators of different languages

[gray arrow]

Ok so I can do this then, is that right?

[slim verge]

yes

[gray arrow]

Thanks

[sharp dagger]

Sorry if this has been posted already, but the new "auto disable outdated mods" checkbox is not translated and has no translation-id.

• its the same situation for the tooltip.

[small kernel]

New build will be added soon

[hidden dirge]

Spoiler alert: ||They did not||

[trail gale]

@sage tangle you wanted to talk to me? 👀

[light quest]

Crist... Just noticed theres a mistake on currently live in-game build of sChinese translation. That was fixed after I noticed theres a build activity at 12:08 GMT+8...

Well, sigh guess have to wait 4 the next update then...

[light quest]

When does the strings for translator branch update? I need a exact time for that if anyone could provide

[shell vine]

5AM GMT

[light quest]

Thanks

[sage tangle]

You can also check the 'History / Build' in Crowdin

[light quest]

Copy that

[somber gulch]

Who do I talk to to become a Proofreader?

[slim verge]

That would be Jacob I suppose but this will have to wait until tomorrow since it's Sunday for the devs right now

[sage tangle]

Is there a need? Didn't pt have an active one already?

[somber gulch]

His last activity was in may

[kind shale]

Hey Helder

I also asked to become a proofreader, but there's actually no need

What I said:

also, I wanted to be a proofreader, how do I do it?
Because there's 95% of translations done, but only 17% approved

What Friendly Azerty answered:

We'll have to keep to english in the public chats (for the moderators) once the joke is over.
The proofreader status is given by the devs when there is a need for it (that being, when a language is attacked by trolls) as it is not needed to have the translations added to the game.
Most of the time, it has been given to translators that were present on the translation effort for a long time before.

Pokerface.exe is the one translating PT-PT
He's the one who suggested that "Glyphid" should be an adjective

[dry cradle]

Can confirm

[kind shale]

thanks

[honest sun]

@somber gulch Crowdin works smoothly on smartphones and tablets. Other CAT-tools can't give such possibility.

Actually, PROOFREADING is very useful when you need to seek&replace same words in the not your own translations. or to change once approved translation.

[light quest]

Found a strange thing here, "Fuel Cell/r Incoming" is not... working?

That line should be the hologram text on salvage missions above the beacon of phase 2.

oh.

[kind shale]

What is this supposed to mean?
From Update 33 note, in the "MISC." part

[shell vine]

That was a bug where if you exited the drop pod at the start of the mission, and then went back in it, your O2 meter would not go down until you died.

[kind shale]

Hmm, a buff glitch I see

Thanks

[kind shale]

Should these collons be there?

[kind shale]

Also, I decided to make parody of a brazilian song for a string. Can I do that, or could that be subject to Copyright?

The string says "Question: what's worse than one [ENEMY]? Answer: two [ENEMY]."
I dunno if that's a reference to something, but I thought it'd fit to put one myself, keeping the playfulness of the original text

Ok, y'all ought to gimme da game, cuz I just beat 11k wordz hehe
just jk pls don't cancel me

[mellow topaz]

Should be fine under parody law
DRG already references a fair few other media

Hell, the Underhill Deluxe's description is an almost word-for-word copy of the beginning for the Hobbit

[chilly orbit]

I don't see why the colons shouldn't be there, but what bugs me is that space which is after the POD: and not after LEGS:

Join the cult German Translator Club

We have fakiyo

[slim verge]

no cults.

[kind shale]

🔨 ⛏️

[boreal quest]

Can we make a cult of banishing drive-by translators?

[kind shale]

I don't think that's a cult tho...

[mellow topaz]

I think that's just common courtesy

Did we get some?

[sage tangle]

I know we're joking, just wanted to point out: Mods are serious about that 'no cults' rule.

[sage tangle]

also, nobody is working for me and everybody is free to do so

[boreal quest]

For the sake of clarity and to hush away any assumptions about what I said: personally, I find the Fakiyo being the translator boss thing an in-joke. It's just a silly little thing a lot of us take as a joke and run along with it. I'm pretty sure everyone knows that you're just another translator/proofreader.

[mossy egret]

Yeaaa ||let them think that||

[boreal quest]

I am not going to say anything anymore.

[ember glade]

Hi there, I was directed here by @boreal quest because I want to help with the Hungarian translations

[sage tangle]

Yes, this is the den of the forsaken translators. Welcome

[ember glade]

so do I have to do some initiation process to get started?

[slim verge]

yes, the ritual

Nope, you just need a crowdin account. You'll find the link at the end of the translator list in the pinned message ^^

one it's done, you can start translating right away

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask

[ember glade]

okay thanks, will do

[slim verge]

in any case, good luck on the translation

[sage tangle]

Stiny will help and guide you, is a good reliable goat.

[dry cradle]

[buoyant dagger]

time to ban for cults again I see

[light quest]

I got some weird thing going on here... sChinese Strings has not yet been updated in the Translator branch for some reason?

That has not been updated like at least 3 days

Yup, can confirm that.

[slim verge]

<@&296918282403840000>

[shell vine]

I'll pass it along

[shell vine]

A dev just pushed a fix to the system to try and fix that (he could confirm that there is indeed a problem for Chinese)
Can you follow up on it tomorrow after the update ?

[oak birch]

Hey guys - how can I help with Polish translation? I've been playing for some time and noticed no new translations in game, and recently after update some of strings were reverted back to english versions. I've a lot of spare time, so I wanted to help a bit

[dry cradle]

Just create a crowdin account and get to translating :)

It's that easy

Feel free to jump in whenever you feel like it

[oak birch]

Thanks, on it 🙂

[sage tangle]

Polish translation at the moment is at 82%, with a bit of 'trickling' progress a few strings everyday.
Active translators for POL are @heady ermine @tawdry creek @wild jungle
You might want to talk to them 🙂

Guys, help out your new pol pal😉

[wild jungle]

[light quest]

I will do a follow up soon, like maybe a hour or so. Thanks for the heads up

[light quest]

Getting some weird crashes when mods are active...

#modded-drg-chat ? 😛

[light quest]

@shell vine Update: Strings are not yet updated. Also enabling a mod called Spawn Menu causing my game to crash

[light quest]

😆

[light quest]

For example: the sticky fuel's description should be 特殊的燃油混合物提升了火墙的持续时间和伤害，但是会让油箱容量和燃料总量减少。
but now it shows the previous verison which is 特殊的混合燃料增强火墙的持续时间和伤害，但是会减少油箱容量和总燃料消耗。

@shell vine Be Advised: due to the time zone difference, replies may not going to be instant but more likely to be HOURS before I could reply, sry for that

||Or maybe reply when I am returned from Work, Also was experimenting with markdown||

• FROZEN POLARIS THE KING SPIDER appeared!

[light quest]

uh, seems like the strings is sill not changed.

@shell vine Sry for bothering you, heres another status update: sChinese in Translator branch is STILL not up-to-date. Even though a dev may pushed a update, and that update is also causing my game to crash (with mods enabled)

[shell vine]

Then the problem is probably rooted deeper than what he fixed. I'll mention it to him again, but It'll probably need a bit of time before a fix can be pushed.

[light quest]

Ping me when another fix is ready. And if he needs some more info maybe I could provide more. Thanks for the heads up btw

[odd snow]

So what's left in the Turkish translation? And when will the fully translated ones get added to the game?

[sage tangle]

@small kernel is the turkish translator.
New languages get added after they reached a certain % translated and initial quality check from the devs.

[sage tangle]

Additionally, the turk translation is at 100% but obviously not done, as more people helping always means better and more eyes to spot errors or inconsistencies. Plus there's a new big update U35 looming in 2 weeks, which will bring new content to translate again.

[odd snow]

Thanks😀

[sage tangle]

We're happy for every helping hand. You're turkish yourself? Which languages do you feel missing?

[odd snow]

I'm Turkish but I don't play any game or use actually anything in Turkish. I'd like to contribute on my favorite games and translate them to Turkish.

I can do proofreading if the translation is already done.

[small kernel]

Hey @odd snow, the turkish language has been almost completely translated. I just left the strings that are not in the game, if you see an error you can look at the translations

[odd snow]

OK! I'll check it sometime. Thanks y'all 😀

[kind shale]

What is the difference between "Spanish" and "Spanish (Modern)"?

[dry cradle]

One Latin America Spanish and the other is European Spanish lol

I can only assume there are lexical, syntax and grammatical changes, just like European and brazillian portuguese for example

[cinder ruin]

Hi, I'd like to help with the Vietnamese translation. Do I simply start in crowdin?

[chilly orbit]

Hello, yes, the simplest is to create a crowdin account and start translating !
Sadly, according to the pins, there is no active vietnamese translator yet :/
If you have any questions regarding how crowdin works or on the translation itself, feel free to ask them here, and welcome in hell our little piece of heaven !

[cinder ruin]

there is no active vietnamese translator yet :/
Is it possible for me to be one?

[chilly orbit]

Well, yes, if you start translating, you can ask Fakiyo to modify the pin and add you to the list

[cinder ruin]

Thankies

[sage tangle]

Hi there. As Drakoniid said, Vietnamese is currently abandoned, meaning you can just pick it up

[cinder ruin]

Got it, thank you.

[sage tangle]

Don't be shy to ask any questions you have here. We're happy to help.
Can be quite overwhelming at first

[mellow topaz]

the translator debug mode seems to be broken for me.

It just switches back to english instead of the debug strings.

[vital marsh]

☝️ Actually, something like this in addition to the ID language would be nice

[sage tangle]

Can you elaborate please? What do you mean?

[stiff tree]

Imagine a Madlad translates the game into Windings or some similar Image based Language XD (would be a nice easter egg though i guess)

[vital marsh]

Switching between English and your language with a hotkey

[sage tangle]

That sounds reasonable as well. I'll ask if we can have something similar to CTRL + O (Debug language) for Last not-debug-language and English

Good idea

[stiff tree]

But we would need the permission first from devs XD

[sage tangle]

That's whom I gonna talk to, yes.

[stiff tree]

Hope you meant me with good idea or i got it wrong :D

[sage tangle]

No, terrible idea 😛
We already have Esperanto @digital dawn

[stiff tree]

Oh ok ^^ Maybe as easter egg after you did a haz 5 mission wo dying and it stays until you restart the game but can be reneabled afterwards

[cinder ruin]

Vietnamese went up 1% after I did a few translations

Then I saw the 100k words remaining

It's good experience at least

[slim verge]

it's a long journey 😄

[sage tangle]

15 days until U35 hits. Thats only 7143 words a day, you can make it!

[cinder ruin]

I don't have much to do right now anyways

[cinder ruin]

Ngl, it's pretty nice to refresh on my vocabulary translating.

[sage tangle]

Random useless tidbit of fact:
Just checked crowdin, there are

4346 individual shouts / voice lines in the game
(looking for 'Shout')

[mellow topaz]

Jesus

[boreal quest]

Some are repeating though.

Used for other reasons.

[sage tangle]

To the guys just asking on the Dev Stream: You're right here 🙂 Report in

[fresh rune]

how does it work here?

[sage tangle]

@dry cradle is the main guy active on PORT at the moment, I think he may be even alone on it?
We work on Crowdin where you can help translate just so, and use this discord channel to discuss common problems or agree on translations

Translation on crowdin:
https://crowdin.com/project/deep-rock-galactic

It's rather easy and straight forward

[fresh rune]

ok

[sage tangle]

Every Language (except english) is done by the community. Currently we have
Port (33% complete) and
Port Brazilian, (100% complete)

[dry cradle]

@fresh rune like fakiyo said, I work in portuguese. IMPORTANT NOTE: I am from European Portuguese.

So, if you want to contribute with your knowledge, dive right in. If fakiyo's correct, and I think he is, br-pt hasn't had much activity lately

If you choose to work with us, just create a crowdin account and you can start working

[fresh rune]

There's nothing wrong with the translation as far as I've seen it, the problem is that with each update some phrases change language. An example is the speech of the dwarves, which were all in pt-br, but with the mods update some were in english. It must be a bug in the game, as the translation of the game is already 100%

[dry cradle]

If the translation is at 100%,its because someone has indeed been translating the game, and it hasn't been me. So maybe it is a translation sync problem or something similar, yes

[gray arrow]

how does one access translator builds? can't find instructions anywhere and it's not listed in public betas

[small kernel]

This is currently allowed to people with the community translator role

[gray arrow]

well someone give me that then

[shell vine]

The build will be made public later, once it has been fully debugged

[shell vine]

You should ask Jacob for that.

[gray arrow]

...oh right, you still gotta call the CM for routine operations

what's the reason for not having access key pinned here or something?

if someone is insane enough to translate this game they likely wouldn't mind a little jank

[shell vine]

It's currently heavily bugged, so it is restricted to limit the amount of bug reports, jank, and troubles (matter of fact, the build is currently broken)

[gray arrow]

oh lmao

is it broken to the point of the game becoming unplayable?

[shell vine]

I wouldn't know, I haven't used it in a while

[gray arrow]

or does it literally not fulfill its purpose rn

idgas as long as it puts shit into the game without me waiting two months for a hotfix

[shell vine]

Anyway, once it is up and running, it will be made public.
And the experimental U35 should be released soon, with manual crowdin pull at each update.

[gray arrow]

classic

[slim verge]

😐

[gray arrow]

ok does any translator with access know how exactly is it broken?

and whether you can use it for the intended purpose at all

[slim verge]

You can use it for the intended purpose.
It's not playable with people on the normal build without funny shenanigans.

[gray arrow]

and that's it?

[slim verge]

yes

[gray arrow]

well idunno you could just pin the key and say you gotta play solo?? again if you are translating you don't play for fun

being able to playtest shouldn't be limited to people with arbitrarily issued teal role

[slim verge]

🤔

there are very obvious reasons as to why playtesting isn't given access to everybody. But then again, experimental kinda are playtesting to some extent.

[gray arrow]

testing specifically translations

there can be people who are active on crowdin but not present here

[shell vine]

Again, the goal is to make the translation build public, but only once it is properly debugged.
If it was made available to only a specific set of people, their is probably a reason behind (might be that there are pieces of code that could be reversed in it, and they don't want to take risks 🤷 , or something)

[slim verge]

It's really not playable for now tbh

[gray arrow]

?????

what was that message then

[slim verge]

I said playable

not unusable

you can use it and "play" it, if you like mining invisible material and shooting invisible enemies

I mean, there's always solo I guess

[gray arrow]

what?

literally who gives a shit

what's the issue with playing solo for this

the only thing you are missing is some voicelines

[dry cradle]

Testing multi-player strings for example, like you just said

[small kernel]

In short, there are significant problems with multiplayer sync, so it is impossible for it to be public at the moment

[gray arrow]

how

no one expects a debug/test mode to be fully fleshed out god damn it

normal players won't even know it exists

[dry cradle]

But it's expected a good chunk of functionality, and it hasn't reached that yet

[gray arrow]

does it get the daily push?

[dry cradle]

Manually

[gray arrow]

i don't care what happens internally, does it receive the daily push?

[dry cradle]

"Manually" also infers that it's susceptible to being forgot or delayed

[gray arrow]

that's still heaps better than waiting for hotfixes lmao

i prefer having a tool that occasionally malfunctions over not having a tool

[dry cradle]

I understand your point of view, and I support it. But you got to understand, the tool is still not in that stage yet

[sage tangle]

Thalber the translator build is currently still being tested and this is still being kept for community translators until it is stable for public, believe me I'd be the first to ask to put it out if it was ready. It isn't, there is no need for you to discuss it further

it's done when it's done and currently the new patch has priority

You'll get the same answer from everyone

[gray arrow]

what was this message then?

[slim verge]

Alright...
Let's go into the very details then.

The build is usable for the primary intended purpose : checking strings daily.
No, it's not automated yet, as it's intended to be in the end. Strings can be forgotten as it's done manually.
It's supposed to be playable so people don't have to switch from one branch to another to check things out. This objective isn't fulfilled either

There's 1/3 of the whole thing working.

[gray arrow]

i genuinely don't see your line of thought here

1. why would you want to NOT use the build for its primary purpose?
2. why would I care what happens on the backend as long as I receive pushes every 2-3 days and it makes my work more efficient?
3. why would you think this is a critical flaw? i can work past this amount of jank no problem, and i bet you could too

[shell vine]

Let me say things differently : This build is currently in a closed beta period and you are asking the closed beta testers to breach the trust that was given by sharing the build outside of the target group.

As such, I would suggest getting in touch directly with the CM, as he should be able to answer your questions more accurately than us.

[gray arrow]

or wait, if fakiyo says it's critical and he's a tester and you are not, maybe you just don't know what are you talking about and use second hand info?

[sage tangle]

Typo, should have read community translator not tester, I changed it

[dry cradle]

Thalber, the devs gave us, testers and community translators, the access to the beta translations build, for us to simultaneously test and check our work on a daily(?) basis. It made sense for the devs to make that choice, so they could hear our invoice on the matter

[gray arrow]

this chat is fucking senile

[slim verge]

Okay, what's your aim here exactly ?

It's not the first time you come here and spit toxic comments all over the place.

What drives you ?

I'm genuinely curious.

[dry cradle]

Pounce is not the only one here, actually.

[gray arrow]

i want to reduce the amount of fucking stupidity surrounding this place

ig talking to you people is not the most efficient way of achieving that, since you don't control much

[rotund geyser]

whatever the aim here is, it doesn't need attitude or this level negativity

chill

[solid bough]

What’s going on here?

[gray arrow]

oh look you actually exist without summoning for once
i'm trynna get the residents to give a valid reason for why translator build is still locked in the stupid way it's locked, but it appears their flesh has long since calcified

[solid bough]

My thalber sense was tingling.

[gray arrow]

have anything of more substance about it or are you going to copypaste a response too?

either way, i need access

[solid bough]

It's 9.30pm here, so slow down on the anger typing.

So, if you just chill for a bit, I can tell you that I am not really involved with the translator build, and the reason why it's not just an open branch that people can join, is because we already have had a lot of issues with people using beta branches or experimental without being aware, thus causing a lot of headaches for QA. It's not very stable since it's more of an experiment, but if you feel getting access to it will help you translate better, I don't see any reason why you can't get access.

[gray arrow]

a lot of issues with people using beta branches or experimental without being aware
doesn't seem unfixable
make attaching screenshots and checking build name obligatory for submitting a bug report, ignore everyone who doesn't do that or something along those lines

[solid bough]

It's not unfixable, but the guy working on making it stable has had other priorities with Update 35. It will get there.

[gray arrow]

alright, who do i call for access if not you then

or is it still you despite the I am not really involved with the translator build part

[solid bough]

gee, twist my arm, why don't you

[gray arrow]

failing to parse

[kind shale]

aight matee I'mma burst in happines

[cinder ruin]

I'm quite enjoying the translation, until I run into an untranslatable pun.

Unaxeceptable!

[tawdry ore]

I'm responsible for the translation build and it won't be public until our own team has switched to a new build system (where this build is currently being produced). Until then there are too many moving parts for us to guarantee a steady build pace and it increases any breakage surface area from annoying our internal team to annoying a lot of people. Since we only have one person on automation and on call (me) we have decided that it isn't smart to increase the surface area yet until we are consolidated in house. It's not you, it's me

[sage tangle]

You're here two days and already complaining about translating puns. That's the spirit! 🙂
You're a translator, Harry! hagrid.mp3

guys how i do remove or report the spamming account at DRG project? an spamming account is making messed up at Japanese

[slim verge]

@sage tangle who do we ping for that ?

I'm not sure anymore

[foggy pawn]

well I leave spam account here for mod or admin https://crowdin.com/profile/katya.dyakonenko/activity

Luckily i could UNDO for thats trash action by spam account but i hope ban thats account

[sage tangle]

Mhhh I guess nowadays it would be Alex, but @solid bough should be good, too?

[solid bough]

[mellow topaz]

if this is a spam account, how were they able to approve strings?

let alone over 11 thousand of them?

[slim verge]

good question but how did they approve 11 000 strings within a few minute ? 👀

[mellow topaz]

that would have been my second one

seriously, wouldn't you need proofreader to approve strings?

[shell vine]

@foggy pawn , could you check the quality of the submitted translations ?

[shell vine]

To proofreaders, five hidden strings were uploaded to the steam UI folder on crowdin, remember to approve them without changing them, they determine how the steam UI is displayed.

[mellow topaz]

I wonder if we'll get the update strings before experimental drops

[shell vine]

They don't plan on doing so this time, too much secret stuff in this new update

[mellow topaz]

hm

[shell vine]

There is a big||ger|| effort on marketing this time around (with the narrated trailer, the simultaneous stream, etc.), so they don't want to get their secrets leaked to the people that haunt crowdin just to get some insight on future updates.

[mellow topaz]

I guess so

U35 is huge

[shell vine]

You have no idea
||@sharp dagger neither, or he wouldn't boast of finishing it in 9 days||

[sage tangle]

Stop teasing Azerty, mean

[shell vine]

four days left to do so, it's now or never

new strings huh?

Looking forward to it.

[sage tangle]

Experimental brings those sweet strings, and the release of public experimental is in 48 hours

[light quest]

Woops

pretend that never happens

[kind shale]

Imma buy DRG by selling trading cards

Jokes aside, how many new strings will there be?

[dry cradle]

Expect a shit ton of them

It's a big update, after all

[mellow topaz]

four weapons and a mission type's worth at the very least

[dry cradle]

also the new npc's from the LeAkIeS

so yea, a bit more than weapons and mission text lol

counting its npc name and description on manual

[shell vine]

There is also a lot of unannounced content, so yes, very big update

[mellow topaz]

pretty sure the new creatures are part of the new mission type

[dry cradle]

not forcibly

i think

[fresh wharf]

just a few surprises...

[slim verge]

at this point I'm 99% sure it's the case

[light quest]

I am wondering if that actually happened, how much sets would you sell?

[light quest]

Get ready for tons of new strings.

[sage tangle]

From what I saw, I'd argue at least 9.

Seriously though it is very hard to put in numbers. But it is the biggest update of the game ever, so...

[light quest]

Lets see the almost exact number of strings after the new trailer, btw its nice to hear the good old Mission Controls' non post- processed voice. Again.

[cinder ruin]

9... thousand

[light quest]

I will be shocked if there will be that many.

[mellow topaz]

From the looks of it, it's been around 500 words per big update previously

I'm betting it's gonna be around 600-700 strings

[sage tangle]

[mellow topaz]

What?

[sage tangle]

I hope you are right

[mellow topaz]

Do you want there to be a lot or few

[sage tangle]

I don't mind for either, but I know smaller translator teams will

[light quest]

much of a oof

well theres basically only me and the proofreader is active these days, donno what SFGO been doing.

||And I send bunch of issues everytime I changed some strings. another oof.||

It's more likely to have that be translated by an external translator studio

Fair enough

Any idea if the new update's text is on crowdin yet?

[sage tangle]

it is 🙂

[eager kayak]

Wouldn't mind doing some French work if that's ok

[sage tangle]

Welcome! Feel free to team up with the current proofreader for IT, @glossy relic , you still around?

[eager kayak]

Anything but the patch notes I am scared of that section

[sage tangle]

Any help is welcome, though French is quite heavily worked on already, so helping on Greek would be more welcome 😛

[sage tangle]

no, look into the main game folder

everything is there

[eager kayak]

Ah if y'all don't need reinforcements in French is rather not put my hands in there

The whole 3 Greek people playing the game will be so glad once im done

[fresh topaz]

any help needed in Turkish? idk about technical stuff but i can learn.

[sage tangle]

we don't have an active greek translator yet, so work is welcome

[sage tangle]

@small kernel will enjoy some help I guess 😛

(Yes)

[snow scroll]

welp, I can't even launch public branch now

¯\(ツ)/¯

[cinder ruin]

welcome

[fresh topaz]

so, how do i help?

[cinder ruin]

@sage tangle Can you add me as the active Vietnamese translator please?

[slim verge]

type -disablemodding in the launch option

[snow scroll]

it's solved

lmao thanks

I totally forgot that mods exist

[sage tangle]

Yes I keep an eye on your progress 😛

[cinder ruin]

[sage tangle]

I'm sure @small kernel will contact you once he wakes up with details 🙂

[small kernel]

Hi. You can help on crowdin site but remember, there were people who wanted to join before but they used google translate and they made me mad

[sage tangle]

||don't make vasquez mad||

[cinder ruin]

||what happens if you do||

[snow scroll]

||use deepl™️ instead|| ||I'm not using that though||

[sage tangle]

||dunno, the last guy never showed up again||

||kebab?||

[snow scroll]

btw I'm wondering why there's a dedicated Chinese Simplified translation channel, our language even has 3 proofreaders

[lean ocean]

afaik there's no dedicated channel for Chinese Simplified

[light quest]

wait, do we got some duplicate strings?

[lean ocean]

we only have 2.5 active translators

[light quest]

I think thats why we got mixed language stuff

[light quest]

wait, who is the 0.5?

SFGO?

[lean ocean]

mike_smith

[fresh wharf]

mb it's two 1.25 😄

[light quest]

alright

[light quest]

Any possible way to bold a specific text within the strings?

<bold> ?

[shell vine]

I'll update the debug language this evening, so the new strings should be available in debug mode on the next build.

[stiff canyon]

#suggestions message
Shots fired?

Or does the exp branch actually use machine-translated strings?

[mellow topaz]

That just sends me to #suggestions with no particular message

[wild jungle]

heh, seems like ill roll with Haksio as Hacksy

as its a rather simple localization and works as a decent name for a pet ('Reksio the dog' was a popular cartoon back in the 70-80s, and still is present and recognizable in our current media)

[sage tangle]

@slim verge is finally muted, what did he do this time?

[mellow topaz]

odd

[slim verge]

nothing

[sage tangle]

petition to dounce pounce

[slim verge]

I have transcended to maggot

behold my power !

[buoyant dagger]

poopy

[slim verge]

but still a maggot

[fresh wharf]

I see people having fun with those translated mission names, they share screenshots with stupid names so I think it's in good state rn

And it's definitely not Google translated

[light quest]

Anyone got any idea what "WRCK.T.RVL" means?

[slim verge]

what's the context ?

[light quest]

"CP_Mission_Unlock_Facility.Default__CP_Mission_Unlock_Facility_C.TitlePrefix"

[sage tangle]

the short for the assignment?

on the assignment board I assume?

[light quest]

ehh. I dont think I saw something related to that back there.

While playing on the experimental build of course

Gosh, 0235 in here now

gonna head to the bed, nighty guys

[slim verge]

good night 👋

[dense valley]

I think, random mission names in a good state now - as much as it possible for stupid randomly generated names ofc.

[stiff canyon]

Oh, right. Those combinations have the potential to look weird

Goddamn падежи, right?

[digital dawn]

La diablaj gramatikkazoj

[sage tangle]

Klar, hab ich auch schon immer gesagt.

[digital dawn]

I always remember what my grandpa said to me when he passed. But I couldn't tell you what he meant, because I don't speak [insert language]

[summer coyote]

found a typo. this text is not effected by CTRL + O, so i can't give you the number for this, sorry

[light quest]

hm. what if fakiyo changed his nickname to dootiyo?

[shadow lodge]

i see there is quite a lot of new work for me 😎

any kontext for string 17902 (burst turret!) ? .. like, is it broken or does "burst" mean fire mode ?

[mellow topaz]

It's the name of one of the new enemies

I would recomment playing through the new gamemode at least once to see some context

[shadow lodge]

Agree but i cant on xbox yet

[mellow topaz]

Ah, right

Was the glossary updated?

[shadow lodge]

i dont see any changes in crowdin

[shell vine]

It's the firing mode

To see the new gameplay, you can watch the dev stream from yesterday

[dry cradle]

Can't see the typo, where is it? Sorry for bothering

[boreal quest]

Theese

[dry cradle]

*blind mf sounds*

[sage tangle]

@shadow lodge @fading mirage new strings are up btw 😛

[dry cradle]

Watch le speeeeeed

[shadow lodge]

yea i alredy translated few :D

[dry cradle]

What a gamerminer

[fading mirage]

No problem

[kind shale]

String 361361 in All Strings, typo projecitle

[sage tangle]

Yeah just had this discussion, too. Must read Projecticle
@small kernel

[kind shale]

Projectile, or projecticle?
It's the same thing, right?

What about those special map names? Should translate or not?

[small kernel]

He love to teasing me 😄

You mean missions names, right?

[kind shale]

TestMapJonas

[small kernel]

You can translate them

[kind shale]

Who's Jonas?

[sage tangle]

A dev

those strings are not used, but automatically in crowdin. Devs have their playground maps to test stuff in, the corresponding strings automatically get into crowdin

[kind shale]

Ok

Imma take second vaccine now

then, I'll keep on translating

[sage tangle]

Biontech?

[small kernel]

Rivaltech

[sage tangle]

Enjoy your new 5G

[boreal quest]

K-TEK69

[lean ocean]

@solid bough Could you grant the community translator role to @light quest please?
And maybe transfer my proofreader role to him?

[light quest]

or maybe adding me to the proofreaders.

His been busy recently

[lean ocean]

He's been really active for months and is over 15k rn.

[light quest]

Almost there for the role if I posted the patch note for U35

[sage tangle]

There are no hard criteria to 'get' the role, it's a multitude of factors, the role is a bit more gated since 1.0 release.

[light quest]

Copy that.

[dry cradle]

Then copy

[light quest]

I guess if there could be two, thats the best result, otherwise I am always ready to transfer that back to you if you got the free time.

[dry cradle]

There can always be more than one proofreader. Actually, it would make sense, at least for me, to have more than one proofreader, so they could all discuss and approve consensually the text

[light quest]

Well, all of the active member for sChinese, @lean ocean, SFGO and me discusses the best result for a specific text. But sadly unifyh will gone afk for a while.

[dry cradle]

Sadly I lack such experience

[light quest]

😦

[sage tangle]

also proofreader is unrelated to community translator 😄

[light quest]

Well, thats that. but sChinese do need a active member with that role, for now at least.

[small kernel]

I wanna ask one string, "WRCK.T.RVL" what does it mean? Wreck rival or something?

[light quest]

Same here.

[small kernel]

I found the context but I don't know the meaning

[solid bough]

now you tell me

😄

[sage tangle]

Work Travel?

[solid bough]

what's your username?

[light quest]

Username for Steam or...?

[small kernel]

Crowdin

[solid bough]

yes!

[light quest]

I am already a proofreader, seems like.

[solid bough]

you still need the flag

[light quest]

FR0Z3 or OV3RWR1T3_

[solid bough]

chinese... simplified or traditional?

[light quest]

Simplified

[solid bough]

There we go

[light quest]

Alright, thanks Jacob

[solid bough]

Congratulations on the promotion. Now get back to work, Miner!

[light quest]

I will.

oh, I forgot something. Rock and Stone!

[hidden dirge]

Alright, time to get to work

[hard sky]

FYI: Objects that are "game elements" that the player needs to interact or engage with in some way during a mission, e.g. Pumpjacks, the Refinery, etc. should all be titlecase. I agree, it looks a little weird but that's the decision anyway 😅

[boreal quest]

That is a rather nice info to know after we've made sure to stay faithful to our grammar rules.

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-face-palm-seriously-exasperated-gif-7304550

[mellow topaz]

oh boy

[buoyant dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/nothing-to-see-here-explosion-explode-bomb-fire-gif-4923610

[chilly orbit]

Oh boi. We have a lot to correct then x)

[boreal quest]

If only highlighting text would help with this issue.

[slim verge]

I personally don't see the point of putting titlecase on those but alright 😛

[solid bough]

Turbo-pump of Poop?

[mellow topaz]

You sure that was done by us?

[solid bough]

Think it’s placeholders

Language is hard.

😂

[slim verge]

It's definitely done by the french team on purpose

[mellow topaz]

And here I thought I was being a bit too creative by naming the Thunderhead "Ukko-Pekka"

[slim verge]

(for context, we thought that we would have fun with the names during the experimental)

(because why not)

[mellow topaz]

which is a nickname for an old Finnish god of thunder

[boreal quest]

Dix points pour les Français

[solid bough]

I lol’ed.

[solid bough]

Ship it!

[solid bough]

Waaaait a minute…

[mellow topaz]

It is also a regular person name

right, correction
Ukko-Pekka itself is not a nickname for the god, but the nickname is based on the name of said god, Ukko

the name is usually a nickname for powerful people and items
there's a gun, steam train and a steam boat with the nickname

I think the best English equivalent would be something being called Duke

[leaden sapphire]

Interesting. One never goes to sleep without learning something new 🙂

[mellow topaz]

it just sounds beefy

[solid bough]

Does sound like a firing.

[fresh wharf]

uncovering french secrets...

[slim verge]

We change them again in the evening, stay tuned for more funny names

[boreal quest]

Per-update weapon name changes.

[mellow topaz]

another zero-effort translator?

[gray arrow]

pmuch

to another 2 sent a cease request

[fresh wharf]

if only there was redirection to translation team channel before giving access to crowdin...

[gray arrow]

myeah probably shoulda been semi closed with comms being a requirement

[mellow topaz]

eh, we don't get those crappy translators too often

[fresh wharf]

otherwise it's like wild west and thalber plays sheriff role

[mellow topaz]

thankfully

[light quest]

HELP!!! Cant STOP Laughing WHILe Looking at This!!!🤣

[small kernel]

I guess I didn't understand the joke

[boreal quest]

Warhammer 40K orcs go…

[small kernel]

Oh lol 😂

[slim verge]

we need more dakka

[sage tangle]

dakka dakka dakka?
Jacob! French has a drive-by translator, can we ban that guy called @shell vine ?

[gray arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/can-we-ban-this-guy-gif-21304842

[gray arrow]

is "benzoquine" a typo of "benzoquinone" or is it deliberate

[light quest]

Dakka Dakka Dakka

Well just cant help it for saying that out loud

Wait... is adding <bold>textHere</> allowed... right? even if theres none of in in a string?

[slim verge]

not sure

[shell vine]

Try it ^^

[light quest]

Tried. and maybe that has already been built.

bolded a text in the briefing section, awaiting for the next update.

I mean, the next experimental update.

[hard sky]

Me neither 😛

[hard sky]

You don't have to go back and change stuff nessecarily. The only reason I'm telling you is because I saw some bug reports on the Refinery and Pumpjacks being titlecase. But those are intended to be titlecase.

It was at least last time I asked. I'll ask around again just to be sure.

[sage tangle]

Thanks German

Where all subjects / objects are Titlecase anyways.

[hard sky]

It's not all subjects / objects, though. It's only "names" of game objects, so to speak.

[sage tangle]

Thanks German
Where all "names" so to speak are Titlecase anyways.

[hard sky]

😂

[light quest]

What does the "PCF" means in "Overcharged PCF"

[dry cradle]

Something something charged fire(ing) or among those lines

[boreal quest]

Projectile charged fire?

[dry cradle]

What's in the context string?

[light quest]

a upgrade for drak 25

[dry cradle]

I thought it was for epc lol

O well

@Developer

[buoyant dagger]

Banned

[dry cradle]

O SHIT

[light quest]

Well... Have to bury myself to the strings for some hours... sigh

[obsidian nova]

Hmm
Someone in my server thinks terms like “season” and “battle pass” shouldn’t directly appear in the game
His reason is those terms break the fourth wall and thus does not fit in DRG’s world

[slim verge]

lmao

[boreal quest]

It's not exactly a bad opinion, to be honest.

[obsidian nova]

Well narrative trailer is clearly narrated by mission control

So ye

[light quest]

For me, I translated that to ”绩效通行证"

[slim verge]

I mean, it's just funny lol

ultimately, it's up to your translation team to decide anyway

[light quest]

You can get your own translation for the BP

and the PP

depends on how your guys translating "Performance"

[slim verge]

pretty easy to go around but that might give people the wrong idea too.

[obsidian nova]

Was considering 戰季終端機 for season terminal

[light quest]

Choose the one that could be easily understand

[obsidian nova]

Since there isn’t seem to be PvP element in the game

[light quest]

Well... I just translated that to "赛季终端", so I hope... I wont get bashed. Planned to check peoples' reaction on bilibili

[obsidian nova]

So the word 賽 is kind of misleading
I think

[light quest]

Making people believing PvP element was involved？

[obsidian nova]

Nah it just doesn’t feel right for me

And yes I also use 績效通行證 for PP
The problem is Season

[light quest]

uh, ”季度" is soo dang off. Frankly I cant think for a better... name.

[obsidian nova]

Is Season used here in DRG something like Campaign🤔

[light quest]

You do get a Briefing that tells you about the story of this Season

[obsidian nova]

If so I’d just use 戰役 for that

🤔

[slim verge]

think of it like themed seasonal stuff

not really event but you get the idea

[light quest]

Donno when we will get the dakka and doot

and maybe, yeet.

heck, why cant I stop laughing while seeing that

Okay. done.

[fresh wharf]

season is one more thing you need to do before putting the game on mood mode till the next update and believe me the new grind really lasts

[stiff tree]

@obsidian nova i think there should be alternative words like: season= Era and Battle Pass= Bonus Rewards / Veteran Rewards

@slim verge So you could choose similar words if it still fit the context and not the literal translation?

[gray arrow]

there are leftovers of some actually interesting OC concepts huh

thermal explosions on m1k

phero darts

[small kernel]

@foggy pawn and @uncut arch can you check this please? https://ghostshipgames.atlassian.net/browse/DRG-3940

[fresh wharf]

that's the content for DRG Historian if not for the future updates

[light quest]

Thats a relief, I thought there will be a new useless OC

I'll check it

[foggy pawn]

@uncut arch could you check reported issues too?

[chilly orbit]

Looks like a cut overclock to me

[gray arrow]

i am pretty sure it is still in

it's the one on LOK that slows down shit you currently have locked on
