Translation of the news

AuthorTranslation of the news
Story writer is cool and very helpfull. However sometimes even he doesn't know the difference between cape, mantle, attire, cloak...Hell even meshy didn't know right away. And even english man doesn't know...how could we? Small pooblems wgich take a lot of time to sort out bit can be very quickly critizied.
Perhaps it would be a kind of improvement,
- to make a really short announcement, only basic info as soon as news is on ru site,
- and later (even after a day or two) full story (translated properly).

I do enjoy reading full translated stories since this game requires a certain atmosphere and imagination. I am sure that most players do stick with it because of that and that alone. Keep up the good work translators and admins too :)
for avelox:
Exactly what I've said on post #7
I would recommend taking the following steps:
1. Get the admins OK to split the announcement into 2 parts: Briefing (as this can be done fast) and the story line (as this one takes longer). I don't think we would mind getting the briefing fast so we know what to expect from the event...and getting the story line a day later.

merlin36 said he will bring the idea to Lexa ;)
Unfortunately lexa's reply was that we should do that in general forum instead of announcements. Maybe not realising how inactive the forum can be here compared to .ru.. anyway, for now at least we can try it, start all event threads with a translation of the combat briefing
Great proprosals.
Thanks for the efforts to all involved

It's a start. Maybe later on you can tell Lexa that only a small % of the players visit the forum on a daily basis ;)
Thanks mate!
I haven't had much issue with the event announcement translation. I'm much more frustrated with the special ability translations for many creatures. Think about that even now the English description of vermins is not accurate, not even to mention that the English translations of special abilities for most "newly"-introduced creatures are still MISSING!!!

When do they plan to fix that?
If you can post the examples here, we can get the edits done, then its just a matter of sending and trying to get them to update it
After searching up the new creatures, I find that all the special abilities have already been taken care of. So my sincere apology for the outdated accusation here. Kudos to all the efforts from the admin and volunteers there!

The "mana siphon" ability for vermins, however, still needs to be updated. The current English version of description says the following.

"This creature can steal mana from an enemy lord and siphon it to allied casters. The stack steals 0.25 mana per creature in it, rounded to the nearest integer, but no more than 20 total. After that, mana is distributed among all allied 'Casters' equally."

The Google translation of the Russian version says:

"This creature can steal mana from an enemy hero and distribute it to friendly creatures (activated ability). Each creature in the squad drains 0.25 mana, but no more than 20 mana and no more than 25% of the current supply of the enemy hero. Mana is equally distributed between friendly spellcasting units."

Clearly, the key information of "no more than 25% of the current supply of the enemy hero" is missing in the English version.
for bp99:
Same for abyss demons, the sacrifice ability doesn't say the maximum damage. I remember reporting it here a year ago and then on RU forums but nobody cares
I dont even read them, just play and learn that stuff later
for merlin36:
Can you also do the talents? Special talent for pharaoh is still missing any description :)
Better late than never.

I started here on .ru after .com was neglected. Any translation that isn't google translate is fine with me.

Had 0 idea what was going on when I first started. Guessing events.
for mellor:
what ist actually the intension of this discussion?
for Diagnosis:
Read the 1st post of Mellor.
If .com community decides that translations are not required we can stop with it. There will be no news and new arts descriptions. Or maybe at best in russian. Your choice. Less work for everyone.

for vicky666:
for mellor:

is this forum the right place where the community can make decision?
Who decide what is the community decision?

Topic starts with a mix of accusations against one part of community and moaning on the hard destiny being a translator.

for mellor: when you need help, than ask for help.
for Diagnosis:

What???

Read all topics before you say anything like you are saying. Who is moaning eh? New account from some old player i can imagine. Topic is an anwser to accusations from part of community. So, you think i or other translators can not defend themselves. Good good. Nice world you live in.

And this topic did bring a good translator to translator team.

And one more thing. Level 6 player would not post this since he would know almost nothing about this game or it's history. So, who are you really?
for mellor:
who are you really?
I'm the one who didn't survived.
Peace, my darling
Well, the translations are definately lazy. Things like mixing up guild points are obvious mistakes that Russian translators can miss if they don't play on .com but should be editor's job to point out. What are you here for otherwise?

If you do a job and then make mistakes criticism should be expected. Several big ones already slipped in.
Translators do it voluntarily. You do what? Nothing.

Don't worry. I'm off the team. When other do it too welcome bsck to dark ages.Then whine to...whoever will listen to you.
