Wrong Swedish translation in 7 Wonders

[Firtnelluma]

Hello!
In the swedish translation of 7 wonders, I have found 2 errors.
For the moment both the card "Apothecary" and "Dispensaty" is translated to "Apotek", witch is correct, but it very confusing having two buildings with the same name.

The same goes for "University" and "Academy", both translated to "Universitet".
I have read the thread about how to change translations, And I have not played enought games to make this changes, maybe someone can?

I'd highly recommend that you earn the rank of translators and do this change yourself. Otherwise, please state exactly what should be kept and what should change about the cards that you named.

I was just about to comment on the same mistake. It seems you need to have been employed by BGG for 3 months to earn the right to correct mistakes - so that's not happening so I hope someone can help with the correction.

The change needed is for the card Apothecary. It should be "Apotekare", not "Apotek". The Dispensary is correctly translated.

You don't need to be employed by BGA, you just need to have been a member for 3 months. So in your case, all you need to do is play 10 games and you will be able to change translations yourself. Once you reach 100 validated translations, the minimum number of games requirement is dropped as well.

Do be aware that what may seem like a mistake could come from officially translated rules, and it is preferred to use the official translation, even when it's not 100% correct (I usually add a comment for "strange" official translations). For 7 Wonders, you can check here (first edition, though): https://boardgames.stackexchange.com/qu ... expansions

In the linked rule translation above it is as following:

Apothecary - Klinik
Dispensary - Sanatorium
University - Universitet
Academy - Lärosäte

I entered changes according to the comment above, based on the official rules printed in Swedish.
See e.g. https://www.bastaspelen.se/storage/ma/e ... S13136.pdf

I don't speak Swedish, but I do know my way around Excel, so I've extracted the card names from the PDF.

If anyone feels like going through them, this should make your life easier (pure text below): https://www.datawrapper.de/_/LqgrC/

This is for the First Edition though, someone will need to track down the Second Edition for fully up to date translations: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamevers ... ic-edition
