Hello,

in this category we post request for help with translation and localization of miscellaneous texts.

Everyone can give a hand. It will be perfect if we get various opinions on each text.

Bye,
Marek

It is in my erudite position as curator of the intellectual mind of a certain individual, namely ZevN47. That I too may be of service. I allow my wisdom to pour freely from every part of my being. I also only use expletives in place of common social norms and often refrain from saying anything of consequence. Therefore it would be me to help you in your quest for a Miner Wars in every home, and 2 children in every pot.

/end nonsense

Yea I can help if you need it (I know English, Southern, Yankee, and can speak part Mid-Western).

It's hard to keep up checking all the new posts on the forums now compared to a few weeks ago when i first joined the forums. Lots of new people are joining and new threads are getting made wich make the more importent topic go down under. i can imagine how muggsbud feels about it;) The old guard ( Everyone who was here before me) gets a little bit snowed under underneath the new guys joining the forums.

I can read and understand French, but I'm not too good on writing or speaking it, perhaps better than google translater in grammar though. I can also read and write some Japanese however it's limited.

I could work on the English <-> French translation if you really want it as I'm from the French side of Belgium myself.
I'll correct whatever text you send too (if it hasn't been corrected by someone else already)
(Yeah, 3rd post, I never been a "Write 10 000 posts in a month" fan.)

Don't want to anger any 'old guard' types, but

Henk!'s dutch spelling is on par with average US forum spelling. Besides the anglic-terms used, a spell-checker would find more than five blatant errors in that small sample posed above.

'Miner Wars' is een 6DOF ondergrondse en ruimte shooter in een compleet vernietigbare omgeving. Minerwars bied een diepgaande verhaallijn met MMO elementen.

Als speler krijg je de beschikking over een geavanceerd mijnwerkerschip in een open speelwereld vol met asteroides. Je graaft kilometers tunnels, ontgint belangrijke grondstoffen, verkent het zonnestelsel, vecht tegen vijanden en ontrafeld buitenaardse mysteries. Het spel word begeleid door een episch verhaal en is een combinatie van een Singleplayer en multiplayer. Werk samen of vecht tegen iedereen die je tegenkomt!

Het verhaal introduceert vele types missies: Rescue (redding), Explore (verkenning), Revenge (wraak), Defence (verdediging), Thieving (piraterij), Search & Destroy (jagen), Mining (delven van grondstoffen), racen of gewoon alles vernietigen wat je tegenkomt!

Areyar, In your sample, it sounds like it just got translated using Google translate. some of these words for example, aren't used anymore in dutch language, or modern gamers wouldn't know what they mean. i prefer the translation of iHenk. i am dutch myself too.

English Lit graduate here, working as a copywriter as well. Finding the shortest, best way of writing something is my day job, and writing for a local videogame magazine is a sideline of mine.

I can also translate into Filipino (Tagalog) if need be.

If you need a practically unused language I could do some English->Danish translation. Personally I prefer my games to be in English, as would most of the target audience for this game I fear.

QUOTE: English <-> Spanish

Spanish is my native tongue and I'm good with English, I can help maneuvering through the nuances of Cervantes' language along with MemoryThief and whoever is interested. I'd take the effort personally, because I can't tell you how many horrid translations I've been running into through my gamer life, especially with X3 *shudder*
