I have 3 different version of DK which looks like russian language.

Can someone tell me if they're all really russian? Maybe one of these is Belarusian or something?

Sorry, cant speak russian. However, write don wht the text says in english and type it into google translate. See if the english to russian translation appears similar?

The third picture i think is russian. I translated options and it came out as "опции" it is the same in the pics.

Yes, thats Russian, where did you get that? =)

EDIT: awful translation :D some phrases look like they were translated with PROMT rather by a Russian. A lot of Lexical mistakes.

I'm crying. sincerely. Those are so hilarious :D

I especially like the 3d one where they translated "Multiplayer" as "Many players" :D And they translated "dungeon heart" as "center of fortress" and "load game" is translated as "call game":D Game! I'm calling you.... pathetic idiots :D

PWNZ. :D

EDIT2 : 2nd looks more or less adequate.

I don't really remember where I found these - I've got a lot of strange things in my DK collection... Probably emule or some strange russian site.

I'm from Poland, so I can understand the Russian a little. I just want to make sure those are exactly from russia, and not not from another country with similar language.

I could upload this somewhere - this way maybe you'll be able to pick out the best speeches. I'm planning to integrate russian into KeeperFX.

Ok, here's the link:

http://bitethebyte.com/dk1/dk_russian_translations_collection.zip

I've included only files that were different from english version.

Two of these are for standard DK, and one is for DK Gold (includes DD text messages).

what shoud I use to edit tab and dat files?

EDIT: jeez, all three sound so phlegmatic...

EDIT2: I wish we had a good russian voice. I can translate these properly from english and someone would record those. I wish A New Room could speak Russian =D

Me Too :(

Unfortunately the closest I ever got to learning Russian was reading A Clockwork Orange. :/

Editing DAT/TAB pairs isn't so easy...

I will probably have to write an exporter for these.

I've started translating the replicas into Russian. I copy what the mentor sais in english and provide a translation below. It is quite an amount of work, So I need a few days to finish those. After that I will ask some guys on the website from my signature, old-games.ru.

Need help?

Sure dude. I need you to write in a txt. or any other word file the phrases Mentor says for the beginning of every mission in DK. They are listed in folder sounds/ATLAS as GOOD. I'm now writing down all EVIL ones, those after the mission.

Write down as many as you can, be very precise. Some of those are quite difficult to hear correctly. I need a 1 to 1 correspondence. At least, do your best. Ideally, try to write down all 20 of those, and if you will, provide some translation if you want. Send those to me then.

When all is done, I'll put it on some forums asking people to voice over.

Those voicings in those 3 versions are too terrible.

Strange, there should be a root folder with English.

Okay, nvm here it is. Try to write down some GOOD side ones. Translate them if you can. I'm mostly done with the BAD ones.

Shouldn't you be discussing this over PM or something? All you're doing it this way is raising post count.

Hapuga
December 31st, 2009, 18:25
Yeah, that's what we're doing. We're rising our post count. Is there any problem with that?

Okay, my work on BAD speeches is 97.5% done.

I ask english speakers to look at the second sentence and tell me what exactly does it mean. I have some difficulty with translating it well.

Nacho, what is your progress?

quick corrections based on my notes:

Darkanna, The surviving citizens have more on their plates than a demon spawn with three dead adventurers to munch. Not that many citizens have survived as such... If it still doesn't make sense: It basically means that those who are still alive have a lot of problems, more than they can handle. and/or quite simply they have resorted to cannibalism :D

(Edit) Oh and hes also saying there aren't actully that many still alive.


hope that is helpful.

Yeah, thanks for the dead adventurers part. Besides, "deaded venturers" could be a correct one, meaning "killed adventurers". Well, that's a minor issue, I still do not understand the part with the citizens and the plead (plate)?

EDIT: ah, I think I got it. Thanks, Sire!

EDIT2: coud you check other lines aswell please?
