Gear and Piston

Post by Teszt Elek »

There are 2 untransleted strings in the game:

One of them is:
“Un poco de todo”\\n
Cada jugador con un automovil que tenga todos los iconos en la carta recibe 3VP.


And the other one is:
${player_name} sumo ${sum}VP: ${investor_0} del primer inversor, ${investor_1} del segundo inversor, ${area} del área mas larga, y ${volatility} de la volatilidad

And there is a very strange one also:
This one:
Translation Comment Date Translator
“The larger the better”\\n The player that has built the automobile with the most parts receives 3 VP. Any players in a tie all receive the points.


The system doesnt accept the translation to other language if i delete the first 2 sentences. (i mean "Translation" and "Comment Date Translator").

The english translation uses many words for the same thing. Understandable since the rules are a little inconsistent as well.
All the following words are used as synonyms for the cards representing parts in the game. These are from the english part of the translation.

tile
part
card
blueprint
junk part
junk blueprint

In some places these words starts with a capital letter. I have no problem correcting theese inconsistencies, but wanted to hear your input before doing anything. I'm translating to danish and it seems important to me to have consistent language throughout all translations.

This is also pretty weird:

“It’s a hybrid!”\\n
Each player with an automobile that has least two different types of motors in their automobile receives 3 VP.

I would delete the red text

@Teszt Elek: is this in the English translation? I didn't find anything like it. Is this still the case?

@LizVanZanen: this is not specifically a translation subject (messages are originally written in English when developing). I think you would have a better chance to get an answer from the designer or developer about language inconsistencies by reporting them in the 'bugs' forum (even if it can be fixed simply by overwriting the translation and does not need the developer to change it in the code).
Thanks for your help on translations!

@LizVanZanen
As far as I'm concerned I think blueprints are plans, which become parts after being moved to the workshop.
It's also the same with junk blueprints and junk parts.
Maybe looking at the original rules may help.

There is a problem with G&P translation - strings that are already still come in original (English) version, even after a week since its translation.

Something was indeed wrong with the translation system for Gear & Piston. I think I fixed it, so the translations should become available under 24h (you may need to clear your browser cache for it to take effect).
NB: in the process, some more strings to translate have also been imported from the last changes to the game

Cheers,

bonjour

personnellement je trouve que les pièces auraient pu s'appeler "pièces d'origine" (ou pièces neuves ou pièces orignales) et "pièces d'occasion" et la décharge (sick) "la casse auto". ça ressemble plus à ce que l'on connait en france comme fonctionnement pour nos véhicules :)
nouvelle pièce ne traduit pas le coté neuf mais juste une de plus
et pièce de rebus, c'est plutot des pièces cassées qu'usées, hors là elles fonctionnent ces pièces, seulement elles ne sont pas aussi bien qu'une pièce neuve d'origne :p
mais bon ça reste juste mon petit avis de joueuse qui aime bien ce jeu (qui bug beaucoup dans les mises à jours de la ruelle malfamée soit dit en passant ;))
