People Who Speak French, German, Swedish, and Dutch Needed

Collaboration Recruitment
#1

Howdy,

For my game I’ll be implementing language packs, they allow users to change all in-game interfaces to a certain language.
I’ll be using Google Translate to change the text, but obviously that doesn’t always have the best grammar.
If you can read/speak one of the above and you’re willing to help test the packs by reading through the GUIs when it’s implemented, then please post below and I’ll contact you.

Thanks!

You should include a txt file with all the lines that need translation and then people can just post their translated versions here (are there that many lines?)

I can do the Dutch one for you if it’s not a humongous amount of lines

PS: also please just don’t even google translate it, just let a Dutch person do it for you, it’ll turn out horrible otherwise and they end up having to change it anyway.

I’m Dutch and I don’t mind checking the Dutch GUIs.
I think most Dutch users don’t have problems with English GUI text though, since the rest of roblox is English already and UI text is very basic most of the time.

Finnish? nudge nudge

Since - you know - you have Swedish there…

@buildthomas yes, that’s a good idea, I’ll do that!

@Nawtz, I agree that most people won’t need it, but it’s nice to have, and it’s not going to take that long to do.

@Trioxide I’ll be adding more, I’m just starting with these on release. :wink:

Darn, beaten to German by the actual German.

I’m guessing you already have someone for spanish???

#9

Native swede here, I’ll be glad to help, especially since swedish is a seemingly rare occurance on ROBLOX :stuck_out_tongue:

@Crykee, I had not planned to do Spanish for the release, but I’ve figured out a way to change the languages very easily, so I probably will, and Finnish too.

@Woot3 I’ll post the files up here when I get them, more people checking are better than just 1.

If any of you have other language suggestions, that are possible to do with the supported characters (eg not Japanese) then please post them here.

I can’t stand reading/hearing finnish in videogames, I just cringe. I don’t know why.

(To people unaware: I’m finnish)

#12

How about the remaining Scandinavian countries’ languages - Norwegian and Danish? I know I could help with the Danish one, and I might be able to do a Norwegian translation as well :smiley:

#13

Well then we have quite a lot of people here that can speak Dutch ! Awesome :smile: Well if you want an other Dutch translator, let me know.

#14

This would be great if guis supported more than just ascii

#15

Yeah, a bunch of people have been producing their custom font guis recently, though, so I think a determined person could get foreign characters into one of those. It would be nice, however, to see the breakdown of languages spoken on this game so we could decide if getting into non-Latin scripts would be worth it.

If this thread is any indication, there’s a lot of representation of European languages, but not much else.

#16

Here’s another Dutch translator if you want.

#17

Let me know if you need another Swedish translator. I’ve got a good friend that would definitely be willing to knock it out for you.

#18

Thanks, I’ll probably be posting the files up here later today.

#19

I can help with the Norwegian as I am Norwegian :relaxed:

Cool!

I’m on holiday at the moment, so my development is slowed down quite a bit.
I’ll post them on here when I have them though.
