Community Translation Tool

[GF_Simon]

With your help we can provide translations for all the text in Folk Tale in as many languages as possible. To help achieve that goal, we've developed the Community Translation Tool.

HOW DO I GET STARTED?
Sign up for the email newsletter ( making sure to opt-in to receive the email ) and check your inbox. We will send you an email containing a link to the Community Translation Tool. If you can't find it, please check your spam folder, and add [email protected] to your safe senders list.

If you have any questions about the tool, we'll be supporting it in this thread. Thank you so much for helping making Folk Tale a better experience for non-english speakers at launch. We couldn't do it without you.

How should we translate human advisor, human farmer and so on ?
I think if we translate the word "human" too it would be very weird, showing this in tooltips.
Would it not be better just to translate the profession at this point?

[Pyro]

I would like to request another button next to the Save button.
"Save and next"
Now I have to scroll down after each translation I made and click the next item. I can work a lot faster if the tool would save the current item and show the next item to translate.

I did think about this, but I believe in some languages we can't just splice the translation for "Human" to "Advisor" to make "Human Advisor".

About the "HUMAN ADVISOR" in norwegian we never say something like human advisor although in english it sounds good. So I just translated it into the norwegian word for "advisor" and similar for the other professions. For the golbins and kobolds I tagged those along so we can tell the difference, but even then it sounds pretty awkward. Norwegian lack the fluidness of other languages, it is a hard language in my opinion. But, hey we can vote for what sounds best and even leave comments for you guys to follow up on

PS: I love the tool and the community getting a simple job like translation is one of the best ideas ever, not sure if its urs personally or taken from someone, but its the first time I´ve seen it Well done!

Human Advisor v Advisor is why we need your help

I'm sure we're not the first game to ask it's community to help with translations, and I believe Steam has a system for it. I've never personally used any tools though because I'm not multilingual - at least not to a fluent level. It was a learning experience building the app, and we couldn't have done it without a certain member of the community who advised us on linguistics.

You certainly are not the first one (Minecraft, Euro truck simulator 2 also asked community to help, those 2 i know from the top of my head)

I think it is great idea to let community translated in at least their language (let's be realistic 1 person can't know everything, and not everyone is great with multi linguistic skills)

I will try to help if it will be in my knowledge...
