I'm looking for translators for a project I'm working on, not much, just like menus and options. If anybody knows another language other than English, I'd be very happy if you could translate this short list of words into that language. Swedish, French, German, Japanese, Spanish are all high priorities, although any language is help. It would also be a great help if you gave me the native name of the language too, like Deutsch, Italiano etc. List [ : PRESS ENTER : INSTRUCTIONS : SAVE : LOAD : START : SPEED : BACK ] End of list I'm not looking for Babelfish translations btw. Oh and you'll be credited. http://soundcloud.com/normbo - Listen to my music.

Matt Boothman The Nissan Micra of forum members Registered 20/09/2002 Points 109	22nd August, 2008 at 18:55:03 - Go on then, the words are all there. http://soundcloud.com/normbo - Listen to my music.
Eternal Man [EE] Pitied the FOO Registered 18/01/2007 Points 2955	22nd August, 2008 at 19:26:22 - Ha ha! Sorry! The language is natively called: SVENSKA PRESS ENTER = TRYCK RETUR ("Retur" is kind of out-dated, you could also use "Enter") INSTRUCTIONS = INSTRUKTIONER SAVE = SPARA LOAD = LADDA ("Ladda" is not always the more proper choice though, alternatively you could use "Hämta" which would translate as "fetch" or "get") START = STARTA (You could also use "Börja" which translates as "begin", whatever floats your boat imo) SPEED = HASTIGHET BACK = TILLBAKA There you go! Eternal Entertainment's Code'n'Art Man E_E = All Indie ...actually Ell Endie, but whatever.
Matt Boothman The Nissan Micra of forum members Registered 20/09/2002 Points 109	22nd August, 2008 at 19:34:04 - The word ladda; what would be the most usual term in a computer game for the load function? http://soundcloud.com/normbo - Listen to my music.
Eternal Man [EE] Pitied the FOO Registered 18/01/2007 Points 2955	22nd August, 2008 at 19:39:27 - Well, I would use "Ladda", "Hämta" can be confused with "Download" or something. Eternal Entertainment's Code'n'Art Man E_E = All Indie ...actually Ell Endie, but whatever.

Eternal Man [EE] Pitied the FOO Registered 18/01/2007 Points 2955	23rd August, 2008 at 17:16:42 - You just gotta love Dutch! It's so strange yet compelling... Eternal Entertainment's Code'n'Art Man E_E = All Indie ...actually Ell Endie, but whatever.
Deleted User	23rd August, 2008 at 20:28:21 - List [ Spanish : PRESS ENTER = PRESIONA ENTER (informal, the way you normally speak) or PRESIONE ENTER (more formal) : INSTRUCTIONS = INSTRUCCIONES : SAVE = SALVAR : LOAD = CARGAR : START = COMENZAR / EMPEZAR (either is fine; the former = to start, the latter = to begin) : SPEED = VELOCIDAD (if you want to say, for instance, "Speed: 8") or AJUSTAR VELOCIDAD (if you're looking for user input on speed, "Set speed: __") : BACK = REGRESAR ] End of list Edited by the Author.
OMC What a goofball Registered 21/05/2007 Points 3516	23rd August, 2008 at 20:59:36 - I suppose you wouldn't be interested in a Gibberish translation? I did write an article about it awhile back...
Matt Boothman The Nissan Micra of forum members Registered 20/09/2002 Points 109	24th August, 2008 at 11:18:17 - Thanks all for the help - English, Swedish, Finnish, Dutch and Spanish so far. Still looking for Japanese if any one can write it (tricky I know, but I'd really like it in). Oh and no, gibberish isn't necessary. Anywhere. Ever. http://soundcloud.com/normbo - Listen to my music.

Matt Boothman The Nissan Micra of forum members Registered 20/09/2002 Points 109	24th August, 2008 at 12:59:25 - No. Don't be ridiculous. http://soundcloud.com/normbo - Listen to my music.

Matt Boothman The Nissan Micra of forum members Registered 20/09/2002 Points 109	25th August, 2008 at 17:49:33 - Thankyou. I was thinking of leaving French out, just for spite, but I've changed my mind. Still need Japanese if anyone can speak it. http://soundcloud.com/normbo - Listen to my music.

緑葉 Registered 24/08/2008 Points 145	25th August, 2008 at 22:12:44 - I'm new to Japanese (some of them are mine, the rest are internet translation ), but maybe you could use these :S List [ : PRESS ENTER : 来光圧搾器 : INSTRUCTIONS : 訓令 [] 訓令 : SAVE: 除いて : LOAD: 載荷 : START: 初め : SPEED: 速さ : BACK: 背部 ] End of list Edited by the Author. n/a

DeadmanDines Best Article Writer Registered 27/04/2006 Points 4758	25th August, 2008 at 22:22:42 - PORTUGUESE - Wouldn't 'Save' be 'Gravar'? Salvar is more to do with saving someone's life, I thought (i.e. Salvacao - Salvation; Gravacao - Recording). I'd have gone for: List [ : CARREGUE 'ENTER' : INSTRUCÇÕES : GRAVAR : CARREGAR : COMEÇAR : VELOCIDADE : VOLTAR ] Edited by the Author. 191 / 9999 * 7 + 191 * 7
Matt Boothman The Nissan Micra of forum members Registered 20/09/2002 Points 109	26th August, 2008 at 19:50:16 - I didn't think the Japanese thing through, all I see is boxes, even if I change the character encoding in IE (and Firefox). Thanks for the Turkish and Portuguese people. http://soundcloud.com/normbo - Listen to my music.
緑葉 Registered 24/08/2008 Points 145	27th August, 2008 at 12:09:15 - The Japanese characters look normal to me :S I'm using Firefox 3 and Unicode for character set. EDIT: you may not have japanese character set installed on your pc Edited by the Author. n/a
DaVince This fool just HAD to have a custom rating Registered 04/09/2004 Points 7998	28th August, 2008 at 20:12:30 - Most definitely. It's not smart to use a half-machine-translated translation, though. Old member (~2004-2007).
緑葉 Registered 24/08/2008 Points 145	28th August, 2008 at 20:25:59 - Well because most words are short, they won't be that wrong. But it's your choice n/a
Alket Registered 02/04/2008 Points 4	8th October, 2008 at 20:28:09 - In Albanian Language (for Albania, Kosovo , Half Macedonia and local albanian cities in balkans) : PRESS ENTER = SHTYP ENTER : INSTRUCTIONS = UDHËZIMET : SAVE = RUAJ : LOAD = HAPE : START = FILLO : SPEED = SHPEJTËSIA : BACK = MBRAPA n/a

nim Registered 17/05/2002 Points 7234	26th October, 2008 at 12:53:59 - Japanese PRESS ENTER = エンターを押して INSTRUCTIONS = 説明書 "Save", "Load" and "Start" are most commonly written in katakana in games: SAVE = セーヴ LOAD = ロード　 START = スタート "Speed" can also be written in katakana (as above) but if you want to use the kanji you could say 緩急自在 which means to alter the speed of something (I'm guessing that's the correct context for your game.) I think most games would just use the katakana, though. SPEED = スピード BACK = 戻る Edit: If you're still only seeing squares where the Japanese characters should be, make sure you have Japanese fonts installed (duh) and try changing the page character encoding to Japanese in the browser. Edit 2: If you're copying and pasting those characters into MMF, make sure the String object is set to Japanese encoding, otherwise you'll get the boxes again. Edited by the Author. //
nim Registered 17/05/2002 Points 7234	26th October, 2008 at 13:13:53 - Just a warning: things can get a bit crazy when you use internet translators: Originally Posted by 緑葉 I'm new to Japanese (some of them are mine, the rest are internet translation ), but maybe you could use these :S : PRESS ENTER : 来光圧搾器 The "Enter" used here means to enter a new day/month/year, and the "Press" means to compress/squash (from all sides) Originally Posted by 緑葉 : INSTRUCTIONS : 訓令 [] 訓令 This one's OK I think! Originally Posted by 緑葉 : SAVE: 除いて This "Save" means "except for". For example, "They ate everything save for a few cookies." Originally Posted by 緑葉 : LOAD: 載荷 "Load", as in the one a truck would carry. Originally Posted by 緑葉 : START: 初め "Start", the noun ("the beginning") rather than the verb "to start". Originally Posted by 緑葉 : SPEED: 速さ This implies quick/early ("the car was going at great speed") rather than "the speed of something" Originally Posted by 緑葉 : BACK: 背部 Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. And "Back". Edited by the Author. //
