Translations Forum Thread

Here's a thought for when v2 comes along, and if we can get it started now all the better.

A forum where modders can post something in any language, and have it translated into English (e.g. for mod profiles). This would have to be strictly moderated, and wouldn't be used as much as others, but would still be useful.

Proposed title format:

[ DE ] Title
[ FR ] Title
[ E ] Title

where the first letters are international standard country codes. This means people can only find what they can translate. Once something has been translated and any problems with the text die out, leave threads alone and they float to the bottom.

Tadaa!

Just need to hire someone to go through the thousands of lines of text and translate it all.

Too much work I think. Although, in the future, I may be able to translate Chinese.
/me feels special

Why, are you taking Chinese classes?

I know spanish and latin fluently

latin is irrelevent but I thought I should throw that out there

Havent you guyz ever used a translation bot? not that hard to use.....
search it in google....not many will need a translation forum...

wow, whats it like to know another language fluently?

not wierd whatsoever...cept for when you start thinking in spanish or even dreaming in spanish...

I will walk up to someone I meet and start a conversation in another language and they just walk off....

no muy bien

AH its so wierd to know another language! but another thought is to think, people find it hard learning english

You wonder how, say you say "bonjour" to a french man, what goes threw his head? "bonjour" or "hello"

both...comparison

English is a very tough language to learn with our rules over rules that cover rules that insite rules....

i know what you mean, once you have learnt the words you need to learn the grammer and how is all formed, and english is meant to be so akward and silly

yet our slang overules all of that

english is simple to learn but a bastard to master. You can throw together words in more or less any order with a few basic rules and it works. It's the exceptions that bugger it.

No doubt we dont need a translator. I imagine with the opening of a foreign forum we'll attract foriegn members that will hang in there.

We could even let them have it as an off-topic and mod/game discussion forum!

english is not too hard to learn in compare to other languages like french or german, and personally i don't imagine anybody to learn perfectly polish (except russians, their language is very similar to polish in many ways)

jacksonj04 youre right: english is VERY HARD to master, and i'm an example
