Translation in German

[Samuel]

Hi. Translation of content_questlist.xml is done! It is based on revision 221.

I'm looking forward to your reviews...

You did a really good job! I reviewed 1/5 of the file. It has excellent quality.
Have some improvements - will report about them later.

Hi, I started work on content_conversationlist.xml. If some of you want to take over some parts of the translation, let me know per PN. After that I'll send you back a PN with the ID of the conversation list.

@samuel: sorry, but I really think that's the fastest way to get a translation of this file.

Its ok. IMO both ways will work.

Could you publish the file whenever the conversation lists of a town or location have been completed? Would be easier to review and we can publish some well translated conversations in 0.6.11 if we don't manage to translate them all.

I just updated the patch including the questlist here: http://code.google.com/p/andors-trail/i ... ail?id=300

This sounds good to me too with one exception: stunned was translated earlier to Benommenheit (see strings.xml -> skill_longdescription_resistance_mental for referrence [line421])

Thats not correct. "Dazed" has been translated to "Benommen" and not "Stunned". This is what the resistance skills refer to. However earlier this has been translated as "Benommenheit". I fixed this.

Bomber, I completely reviewed your well translated file. I made around 50 changes (small fixes, better sound, typos) to it, so it would be hard to list every change here. Please use Winmerge to see all the differences. However I will try to list the main changes here:

• I used the proposed translations: Wucht, Treffsicherheit, Lindwurm, Kazaul-Maden, Irdegh-Gift
• "Glow of the Shadow" has been translated to "Das Leuchten der Schatten" instead of "glühende Schatten"
• renamed the quest name "Uralte Geheimnisse" to "Geheimnisse aus alter Zeit" (Ancient secrets)
• renamed the "Oberwärter" in Flagstone to "Aufseher" (former warden)
• translated the code "Daylight Shadow" in Flagstone with "Licht und Schatten"
• translated the location: "Foaming Flask tavern" with "Taverne 'Schäumende Flasche'" - other locations are still not translated
• renamed the quest name "Düstere Absicht" to "Düstere Absichten" (Clouded intent)
• renamed the quest name "Verlorene Schäfchen" to "Verlorene Schafe" (Lost sheep)
• renamed the quest name "Einschnitte" to "Schlachtung" (Cheap cuts)
• renamed the "Quelle" to "Brunnen" in Loneford (well)

This is a temporary patch. If you have any suggestions or think the original translation was better, just leave a note here. (its easier to manage the changes like this - otherwise some corrections might get lost)

ToDo:

• content_questlist.xml (review the file)
• content_itemlist.xml (itemlist_v0611_1, itemlist_v0611_2)
• content_monsterlist.xml (monsterlist_v0611_monsters1, monsterlist_v0611_npcs1)
• content_conversationlist.xml (Bomber works on it - PM him to help translating this big file)

Ok, no problem.

All your other changes are ok, except this one:

renamed the quest name "Uralte Geheimnisse" to "Geheimnisse aus alter Zeit" (Ancient secrets)

Certainly your translation is chosen more literally, but mine sounds, well... more mysterious!

You and my wife agree on that one.
> I will change it back.

Did you Winmerge all the changes in the files or did you only look through my post.

I only looked through your post. I now have looked through diff of your file and mine too (with PSPad ). Like i said before, your corrections are legitimated. I would like to adhere to my translation in this quest:

{thorin:40} "Ruhestätte" in German has - in my opinion - the meaning of "grave" respectively "the last resting place". I think "Bettstatt" sounds good in a rpg, we also could use "Lager" or simply "Bett".

I would prefer "Lager" then. Anyone else thinks we should use "Bettstatt"? I never heard that word.

[Bomber]

... "Bettstatt"? I never heard that word.

No need to feel ashamed!
According to the Duden, this word is more popular in the south of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

As Remgard is in the north of Crossglen we should not translate it with "Bettstatt".

Samuel,

You probably should have put this a "spoiler" tag as you just gave away a broad location of Remgard.
