Title: I need a translator
Post by: Meow on May 31, 2011, 12:32:06 am
:mrgreen:
as the topic says i will need translators for all kinds of languages.
right now i am looking for someone who can translate english<->russian but to be honest if anyone of you guys has a native language that is not english and you feel like you can help out in case some language barrier is making conversations impossible please let me know what language you speak so i know who to contact in case someone who does not speak english needs help.

nothing official or anything but it will help for sure.

You fools it's a trap ! He doesn't need this so he can "help" you, he wants this so he can understand when we call him names and curse at him on our native languages so he can ban us. You help him and we lose our only chance to rage in peace.  :twisted:

I can help translate english to Norwegian. However, why do you want to translate stuff from english? This is the internet. There is supposed to be one language here. The more things that are translated to different peoples languages, the less english they learn. If someone cant speak english, they should atleast not be able to get a game/movie/etc in their native language, its important that they learn to speak english. However, if people speak english perfectly there is no problem with translating away from english for them, but then they wont need it will they?

And just one thing at the end. Guess how I learned english? Do you think I learned anything at school? Nope. I learned english before we started learning it in school because it was required to enjoy games and the internet(i guess it wasnt that much internet, since internet sucked then, but more SNES games, PC games, Magic cards, dungeon and dragons manual, etc) So if someone say they need a translation because they didnt learn english in school, then they really need to play more games and watch more shows/movies in english without subtitles.

Oh and also, if someone are french they also have to learn english.  :wink:

I guess I could translate some english/german or english/italian too if its very needed. (im not that skilled in those 2 since I only learned them in school)

basically this is so i have a list of people to contact in case people who are not good at english need help.

yesterday i had this russian guy talking to me on irc and although it kinda worked out in the end it was hard to actually get what the problem was.
all the stuff he said was translated with google translate and just didn't make a lot of sense :P

"I do not sit on the forum. I even go in there I can not hike the case."

i am willing to help people no matter what but it will be way easier with people online who actually understand the meaning.

Google Translator is fine for romanic languages, but Russian or Chinese differs in many aspects, so it's not easy to translate.

I could help with English and German (and Latin  :mrgreen:)

I see. Helping people is great. I thought this was about translating cPRG to an other language. Well if its just for understanding eachother I can help with Nowegian, italian and german. However, if it was needed to translate something perfectly to the other language I'd only be able to help with norwegian/english.

Allow me to offer myself as spanish-english or english-spanish translator.

And one question: have you devs thought in translating the mod to other languages?

I'd be volunteer to translate texts to spanish.

P.e.: the character webpage could have a tick to choose language and be in different ones.

No, never. What is it with those fucking retarded bitches who can't learn languages? And they keep demanding to get everything in their own language.

My opinion is exactly the same but, guess what ? French is my mother language  :lol: I'm from Belgium and as we aren't cocky enough to say any of our three (yes a little bit of german too) languages are prevailing in the world, most of us gladly learn other languages.

Many people from bigger countries that either have a dominant language or think they do are UTTER CRAP when it comes to learn other people's languages, that's just sad.

That Zapper guy here is the perfect example of that retarded attitude.

Nice fail, go read a bit from earlier in this thread. I'm Norwegian, sucka! I speak English and Norwegian fluently (both of them), not fluent but good German, basic Japanese and a multitude of lesser knowledge about most of the European languages. And to that Belgian guy. Check out before you make those accusations. Might turn out your completely and horribly wrong.

There's some people who just dreamed of being able to learn foreign language, but can't for various reason. This post is utterly rude to them. I don't even see a smiley or whatever, to lower the seriousness of your post. I'm ashamed of your attitude.

I'll just say one thing, and i'm pretty sure it's not only my opinion, but that others people shares it.

Your first post on this topic was RUDE to all the countries you involved. Of course, don't get all mighty thinking one person like you can enrage several countries altogether, but you're seriously ruining your homeland reputation with that attitude. And yours even more, but i don't even know if you had any sort of reputation on the beginning. I would also reconsider my own position versus your clan if they accept such guy as you in their ranks.

I don't wish you a good day, sir. And hope to slaughter you ingame.

And to all the people saying "this country is better than that one", just... evolve a bit. There's no such thing as "better", since a country got way more aspects than you can count. It may have : more population, more land, more water, more cities, being older (thus maybe more culture), but it's no way "better/superior" than others.

On a side note : I don't think there's any need of translations. You must be glad that this game is in english, when it's not your main language. This way, you can learn english for something that you like. And you know it will be usefull. If you don't agree with me... too bad... i could offer myself to help for french to english translations, but seeing as there's already enough postulants, i'll withdraw my candidature.

Another guy who doesn't read the thread before he posts. Not talking about the part about me. I get what your saying. I'm just angry at all those people who never bothers to learn English and then whines whenever people ask them to do so. Even if they are playing on English speaking servers with other English speakers. The rest was just correcting the ragers who can't read.

Also the "didn't read the thread part" was aiming at the fact that you think the translators are needed to translate this game into different languages. They posted a lot of times that what they want are people to help overcome the language barrier when they need to deal with players. Like in the ban/unban threads or answering questions or whatever.

And about the reputation. Ask Lansamur you damn guard. He knows who I am :P

And i also stated that i don't think there's any need of translations. And i can say it again ; "there's no need for translation".

But i still believe (just a belief) that your first post was a little bit too... crude. Too easily misinterpretated, misunderstood.
And... my message only concerned you for the 5 first lines, the 4 others were to all others.


Oh, and i'll add that even if volunteers do the translations, it will be hard time for devs to add them in, to make you choose a language, etc... Since it's a multiplayer game ONLY mod (cRPG), then ONLY english is definitely the best.

If it was single player, having different translations would be indeed needed, but it's not the case.

Thanks. Although you again miss the points of the translators. They are supposed to translate the Admin to player talks on the forums if people can't understand each other. If you've been watching the ban/unban threads you might have come across that Chinese guy who had to use google translate to convey his message. Shit was so bad it was hilarious, but annoying since the admins had a hard time understanding what he wanted. Same thing happened with a lot of Russians and poles so that's why they need people to translate. Again, not the game itself, just when they need to speak with certain players.

Post by: Diavolo on June 01, 2011, 11:27:15 pm
What reasons do people have for not learning english? I understand if people dont speak a perfect accent, or dont have an Oxford British english vocabulary. However, learning english is pretty easy with television and internet as it is. If someone is interested in computer games or the internet or something like that they have to learn english. Like I posted earlier in this thread, I didnt learn much english in school. (even though we had it some years) I already learned enugh english to get by before we started learning it at school. So I was like 10 when I was skilled enugh in english not to need a translation. So most people who want to speak english, should be able to. Its just like manual blocking. To be honest I'd say its easier to learn english than manual blocking.

I am not trying to be mean to anyone here, and its nice to get translators to understand some people who cant speak the language. Its just that I really dont like people who speak an other language than english on the internet. Atleast french people who I know are well educated.(they often know english, but some times they dont. or pretend not to) When you have an infant/baby, the first things they learn are:
1) walk/talk 2) read 3)write 4)riding a bike 5)english 6)santa isnt real 7)etc Thats how its supposed to be. How come some people just skipped the step about english?
