Translations / Multi Language Support

Exactly, I dont want everyone speaking their language because the game have been translated into it. Keep it english, so the chats will be english only, if they're too stupid to learn english, then they're too stupid to play Empires.

 

Well, that's one way of looking at it.
Do you speak Spanish?

 

not from what im hearing

 

His point was that we don't dub movies, therefore, we hear English all the time, unlike France and Germany.

 

im willing to translate things aswell

il talk to empty about sorting out the code since i have a small base (prob enough to do copy paste and small edits and to know what the fuck i am doing) in c++

 

Everything should be translated. Those are things that are more important to be translated first though - there is more that actually matters; Research/Weapon/Descriptions - better want people know what these do - or Hints - useful for new players.

@Empty: You probably need to look out for values dynamically fetched too. A lot of the strings seem to be in the script files (skill, weapon descriptions etc)

 

has anyone, just for a split second, thought about all the fixes valve had to give out for their broken translations in TF2
Like, when a translated word doesnt fit into the box where it belongs, because it is just too long etc etc...

anyways, I still love the idea!
Empires Schwarzenegger Edition,
Empires w00kiee Edition

 

If someone is going to redo voiceovers, just DO IT!
It's unlikely any of them will be added officially, it's a large amount of files for a small percentage of the fanbase, but you're welcome to mirror it as an alternative, I'm sure most servers will happily whitelist voice comms.

 

Imagine Empires translated into Bavarian.
Or into Saxon.
Juckjuck.

I can do a clean High German translation.

 

I'm also willing to translate stuff into Hungarian.

 

Approve as long as 'turrets' is spelled 'turrents' in all foreign languages.

 

If this game gets translated, I quit!

we already have a big wave of newbies brought by america because this is their language pretty much anybody can play it. I dont want even more retards to be on a game that need cooperative and smart moves.

DO NOT TRANSLATE IT, NEVER!

 

basically... you are using the inferior of other-linguals as an argument to translation

i could see an argument if you would use the not being able to speak English in chat as an argument, but them being inferior seems more a purely racial statement in the broad spectrum of the word

if you did this on the forums i moderate i would have given you an infraction for that

i didnt quote that part so you can edit your text before anyone sees it that does have the powers and would act the same as me if you would like that

 

Wow what the fuck.
Are you like retarded.

You know what I don't want retards like you on my forums.
DO NOT COME BACK, NEVER.

 

This. This.

 

I don't think this was an racial statement, but rather plain arrogant and insulting by saying that less knowing ppl are at the same time equivalent more stupid.

 

For the record, Xya is French. Quite frankly, I think that explains a lot about his statement.
