Clues translation

[Safajones]

Hey Guys,

I was just wondering how the clue words are translated.
Is is automatically translated? Because I've seen some words that in my opinion could have a better translation.
And I didn't find these words in the translation center to give the suggestions.
There are clue words that seem automatically translated, it's not a word that brazilian/poruguese people would use.

Thanks for the clarifications.

Hello, same problem happening on me too. I want to translate clues to my own language but when I open "Stella - Dixit Universe" translation files, I can't find any single clue to translate.

The words are pulled from the official published version of the game.
Unlike other games on BGA, they are not translatable from the interface as they were already localized by professionals.

The language is set at table level, so everyone at the table has the same word, independant of player language; So I don't know what you are comparing translations to.

There are differences between languages to account for cultural/geographical/homonyms etc.

But some languages are not translated yet. I don't complain, I just want to help.

Hello, the clues are not translatable in BGA. This is not something specific to Stella, all games with clues/words are using lists from the publisher/editor (eg. Perfect Words, Concept, Haiclue, Just One).

And this makes sense.
As for a game like Codenames, the words were chosen separately in each language.

If you play with say English as the game language, you should *not* want the English clue to be translated to your language.
You want the original clue so that you can leverage all the meanings of the word. No 1 to 1 translation can achieve that.

If you aren't sure about a word, you should look up its definition(s) in a dictionary.
That's what I do when I play in Dutch as I'm not confident enough in my Dutch vocabulary.
