\o/ can't wait !
A translation of the Tryker lexicon has been available here. I could contribute to translating some of the others, but might best be done as a collective effort, as some of those are quite lengthy.gralen wrote:Any indication when/if the Fyros language guide (http://ryzom.kervala.net/Parler_Fyros.pdf) might be seen in a language other than French or when/if we might see such guides for other races?
Do you know of anything similar (in any language) for Matis or Zoraï? With the blessing of the Internet, I can dumb my way through translating from French to English (oh the headache). German to English is much simpler (although it's been years since I last spoke German).elthunim wrote:A translation of the Tryker lexicon has been available here.

Hey, Internet translations are what brought us those crappy InGame translations in the first place.gralen wrote:Do you know of anything similar (in any language) for Matis or Zoraï?

Bah...you had French speakers translating into English...that is frequently a bad process (native speaker => foreign language) unless the translator is incredibly fluent in the foreign language. You want a native speaker translating FROM the foreign language.acridiel wrote:Hey, Internet translations are what brought us those crappy InGame translations in the first place.
Thats what I mean, they seem to have used quite a lot of Internet translations, for the lack of an native speaker on the team. *sigh*gralen wrote:Bah...you had French speakers translating into English...that is frequently a bad process (native speaker => foreign language) unless the translator is incredibly fluent in the foreign language.
