German Translation
I am doing some german translations at the moment, and thought it may be a good idea to give the races different dialects as we have plenty of them here, and they can easily be used in written language. So here are my proposals:
- Human: common german
- Ork: "ghetto slang"
- Ukar: bavarian dialect
- Tritan: "Platt" (north-germany dialect, a bit tending to dutch)
- Raijin: elevated german language, the only ones using the official "Sie" instead of the common "Du" for "you"
- Demon: Berlin slang
Of course the intensity of using dialect may vary depending on the NPC.
What do you think about it? Any comments?

Re: German Translation
I'd leave the ghetto slang out for political correctness. At least in English, we're probably gonna avoid that. Raijin is not going to be a race - they will be a skin of Elves.Micksha wrote:I am doing some german translations at the moment, and thought it may be a good idea to give the races different dialects as we have plenty of them here, and they can easily be used in written language.

Re: German Translation
I think that this is a good idea, I leave it up to wildx to decide if it fits his current race plan, although, keep in mind that tritan already use an own-made slang with yeye and such.Micksha wrote:I am doing some german translations at the moment, and thought it may be a good idea to give the races different dialects as we have plenty of them here, and they can easily be used in written language.

Re: German Translation
Yes, keep in mind the Tritan's speech pattern as well. I agree with the idea in general though, so go ahead!Reid wrote:I think that this is a good idea, I leave it up to wildx to decide if it fits his current race plan, although, keep in mind that tritan already use an own-made slang with yeye and such.Micksha wrote:I am doing some german translations at the moment, and thought it may be a good idea to give the races different dialects as we have plenty of them here, and they can easily be used in written language.

Re: German Translation
This would mean lots of changes on already existing scripts. Are we sure we want to edit these entries and thus, force the translators to re-translate these sentences?
