Heya all i was away most of the week and i'm busy redecorating home, working and getting sun!

i have had not the time to go completely through the 2 threads about the game, i just had a look at the file.

what i have ascertained is that there are a lot of phrases without contest and not clear meaning that means that the translation will be SLOW :/

or i have melted.

summer summer where are thou?

[TCD]

Okay I need a little help with the ingame menu :




Can anyone of my polish friends translate it for me?

I also have another translation question

'ZIARNO PLaCZWOJU' -> 'ENTANGLEWEED GRAIN' -> 'SCHLINGGRAS SAMEN' (seeds of entangleweed?)

Edit : 'GlOWA Z PIoRKIEM' -> 'FEATHER ON A HEAD' -> 'FEDER AUF EINEM KOPF' (Okay I get feather and I get head , but does 'feather on a head' mean that the feather is in the hair of someone?)

Edit 2 : I think I found something that doesn't sound right, but I might be wrong

'A WY NIC TUTAJ NIE RUSZAJCIE GAMONIE JEDNE!' -> 'AND DON''T YOU TWO TOUCH ANYTHING!'

shouldn't that be 'and you two don't touch anything!'?

'ZIARNO PLaCZWOJU' -> 'ENTANGLEWEED GRAIN' -> 'SCHLINGGRAS SAMEN' (seeds of entangleweed?)

yes. actually ziarno = grain and nasiono = seed but i think that "seed" is better in this case..

"głowa z piórkiem" is "head with a feather" whatever that means...

as for 'and you two don't touch anything!' i guess you're right... "gamonie jedne!" means "you wusses/gawks!"

[TCD]

Thank you very much humble worm

Well, in polish (but I think also in english) there is a difference between GRAIN and SEED. GRAIN is ZIARNO and it is a dry fruit, mostly of the wheat, rice... SEED is NASIENIE. Seed is inside the GRAIN.

Edit : 'GlOWA Z PIoRKIEM' -> 'FEATHER ON A HEAD' -> 'FEDER AUF EINEM KOPF' (Okay I get feather and I get head , but does 'feather on a head' mean that the feather is in the hair of someone?)

Yeah, I know what you mean. I guess Shoonay has to explain it where the feather is (I don't remember right now).

Edit 2 : I think I found something that doesn't sound right, but I might be wrong

'A WY NIC TUTAJ NIE RUSZAJCIE GAMONIE JEDNE!' -> 'AND DON''T YOU TWO TOUCH ANYTHING!'

shouldn't that be 'and you two don't touch anything!'?

I think both are acceptable but let some native english speaker tell us the truth.

I would say that KIESZEN is rather INVENTORY. It is not common to say POCKET in games. The same goes to KONIEC GRY. I would rather say QUIT THE GAME.

yes. actually ziarno = grain and nasiono = seed but i think that "seed" is better in this case..

It depends...

"glowa z piorkiem" is "head with a feather" whatever that means...

Shoonay, you're needed here.

grain is to be grinded for flour

inventory -ok, sometimes in games inventory is called rucksack, or sack, so why not pocket?

the same about quit/abandon, encountered both versions

Thanks for the info mailman. Maybe the problem is that I don't get which plant 'PLaCZWOJU' is (and assumed there couldn't be grain on this plant). Anyway I changed the translation to match grain and not seed.

Edit : There is also 'GlOWA BEZ PIoRKA' -> 'FEATHERLESS HEAD', so I guess 'GlOWA Z PIoRKIEM' means 'head with a feather', because there is also an item 'feather'

'AND DON''T YOU TWO TOUCH ANYTHING!'

shouldn't that be 'and you two don't touch anything!'?

Not necessarily.
The "Don't you" is a very strong instruction parents usually give to their kids.

"And don't you touch anything there! Have I made myself clear?"

german: "Und fass(t) mir dort ja nichts an; hab ich mich klar ausgedrückt?"

Also if you happen to feel extraordinarily offended...

"Don't you ever dare talk to me that way again!" = "Wage es ja nicht nochmal in dieser Weise mit mir zu sprechen!!"

I'm still working on some names for all those stupid plants

no well I'm a little busy atm, but will get it finish in the end of this week

[TCD]

Yeah I know that 'don't you' has that meaning, but I wanted to know if the emphasize is on 'you two' or 'don't you' in the polish original. A bit difficult to explain, but I guess you get it with the german translation
'Und ihr Zwei, fasst ja nichts an!' (drohend) compared to 'Und fasst ja nichts an ihr Zwei' (ermahnend)

Both, I guess
There's two of them, and another person telling this.

Ah well, the difference in german is not big anyway. I think I got that now and will not ask so silly questions again... or will I?

But only this specific semen. The synonim is sperm. Personally in english I haven't seen anywhere that the botanical seed would be called semen.

I thought the same. This is just a matter of intonation and emphasis.

[Marcuz]

i'm at "ENTER THE WAGON" it's depressingly slow... mostly because i have not played the game and i don't know what's each phrase is about... i think that will not stop me from invent scenes and phrases not in the game. it will improve.

Ask Shoonay for the alpha version of the english translation marco. That helps a lot
Okay I'll do it for you : Shoonay can you send marco the alpha?

[Dizzy]

Do you got some kind of englsish version of a complete solution for the game
