While doing the portuguese-br translation I also had problems with this line (later I will check what was my decision) but the thing that bothered me the most was the fact that intelligible/smart and aggressive are not mutually exclusive. Maybe the best compromisse would be to translate it as the equivalent of: They are capable of communicate effectively (capable of speaking) but are agreessive, this would mean that even though they can speak, if our hero tried to comunicate with them, he could be attacked.Mayweed wrote:While I played the Aulowenn & Tiqui quest some weeks ago I regarded the word "intelligible" as a variation of "intelligent" and so understood the phrase "[The creatures ... are] intelligible, but fierce" as "they are no dumb animals, they have wits, but are fierce" - what made totally sense for me. And so I translated it in this way lately ("verständig", "vernunftbegabt").
When reviewing the translation, Moerit remarked that it actually means "verständlich", "understandable", so the phrase would mean "they are able to articulate themselves in a way we can understand, but they are fierce" and we asked us if that really is the correct meaning. And what is the connection to "but fierce" here.
So, how did you understand this sentence, especially native english speakers?
Could you transcribe it in some "simple english" words, please?
