Translating / Estonian translator reporting for duty.
« on: November 22, 2012, 09:36:52 am »
Hello,
I have been playing ufo: alien invasion for few weeks now and recently changed to the 2.5 dev. Ver. Of the game. To say it out, then i love the game. In 2.4 i did see stuff that made me not want to play the game, but soon as i switched too 2.5 i found the console and started messing around with it. Soon as i started pushing stuff to the limit i found numerous things and bugs that made the game a bit wierd, but in a good way. Soon as i find some free time ill start posting bugs ja glitches i found. But now to my main reason being here. As the title says i can translate texts to Estonian. It came to me as a suprise that there is a Estonian language support. Only a few games have Estonian language support and this is the first indie game i see Estonian in. When i changed to Estonian the first time and read the texts, i was like really? I had a few good laughs while reading Estonian translations, cause some of them seem right out of the Google Translator and for me as a nativ Estonian it seems giberish or baby talk at best.
So in conclusion of the bigass text I just wrote is that ill be happy to translate estonian texts if developers are good with that. I have learned Estonian for 12 years ( nativ language, no shit) and English for 10 or so years. I know that lot of Estonian players prefer to play the game in English because the computers operating systems didnt had the Estonian language support form the beginning, but i would do it for the fun of it to translate the huge amounts of texts.
(sry if there are any spelling mistakes, random spaces etc. Its because i wrote the whole text on a ipod
)
