Translations

[evdk]

I would love to have Czech translation. I know it is probably not worth the costs, but you could leave the translations to community.

 

I support this for morbid curiosity's sake. Projekt: Věčnost FTW!

 

I don't see how that's so radically different from Проект Вечность.

Well, I can't read azbuka

Clarifying edit: I can read this, but that's because of the context.

And they say it's difficult to learn languages. Three languages - three almost identical phrases: Projekt Wieczność

The difference is that for the life of mine, I can't read your version.

In Serbo-Croatian: Projekt Vječnost.

 

 

But hey, judging how difficult it is to learn languages by comparing Slavic languages is kind of cheating.

How about we start comparing Finno-Ugric languages?

Finnish: Hanke Ikuisuus

No matter which language translations Obsidian will provide/support, there will always be players who will want the game translated to their "obscure" language.

 

So, I wonder if Obsidian will either accept/allow volunteer community translations to those languages, or make it possible for modders to add additional languages somehow.

 

If that's the case, I might volunteer to do the translation for my country - there is no chance if will make any business sense, but it would be a nice project.

See? Now we can talk about difficulties in second language acquisition

(you don't happen to speak Finnish or Hungarian, do you?)

Update #16 - "We also plan on releasing localization tools to let communities around the world create localized versions for languages we are not translating Project Eternity into."

I hope they will release this tool before game is published.

Err... Then they'd have to release all text strings too. Would you really want to spoil the game this way?

For Finnish Projekti Ikuisuus is better translation and you can always go with Projekti iäisyys if you want to use difficult word's to non-finns to say

 

I can't say anything about Hungarian version.

I was just going by what Google Translate spat at me for "project" and "eternity". XD

Google translate don't know Finnish very well it usally does very funny translations even for simplest phrases. As it nearly always uses wrong translation for context and in wrong grammatical case.

I know, machine translations always do that, but since "Project Eternity" is basically just two words on their own, I was hoping it would be able to correctly translate each word separately.

You can translate project to hanke, suunnitelma, heijastaa, projisoida, projisioida, langeta, työkohde in Finnish, but contextually projekti is best translation in case of Project Eternity. So it is understable that machine translation don't get best possible translation (as you said) from only two words which preffer to not commonly know subject as it can't determine context where they are used.

No Sir, i personally not talking about a strange and obscure language like Congolese or old Babilonese, i'm talking about a language (Italian) which is inside every ****in MULTI5 format in videogames industry.

You cannot compare those things.

I would like to listen to germans or french if their language would not have supported.

 

If italian language is not so important, why 80% of the translated games have it supported?

ahahah you're right, IMHO what you said is as much fun as disconcerting. I no longer know what to say about it, except that our language is the most beautiful in the world, with or without the obsidian's consideration

That's why I wasn't entirely serious

When Italians make a game I would like to play I will consider it. Until then not interested.

 

EDIT: And DaWu, I used this troll first, find your own shtick.

whatever dont delay the game because of translation PLEASE

[Pshaw]

Considering that Obsidian has said that they would welcome help as far as translations are concerned I'd like to see it get translated into as many languages as people are willing to help translate it into. I'd like to see Italian, Latin American Spanish and Portuguese translations first and foremost so long as the money for it is there. If the money isn't there I hope they help out fans who are willing to help translate it in anyway they can.

GIVE US ITALIAN PLEASE!!!
