A conversation in WHC today brought to light the fact that I would like to have things I can copy/paste into chat. Please contribute. If you see something that is not translated into your language, please translate it and explain to me any nuances about that phrase that I might not understand as an American. There is often cultural significance that can't be captured in a direct translation. Feel free to add phrases for people to translate as well.
Sample Format:
- "Phrase/concept to translate"
- Language
- "Phrase in this language" - Translators name
- English explanation of the meaning. For instance if you may not be a direct translation, you might be making a translation of the idea and you want to note what you're really saying
- "Phrase in this language" - Translators name
The list:
- "I don't know what you're saying, I'm sorry. Can you say it in english?"
- German
- "Entschuldigung, ich verstehe kein deutsch. Kannst du es auf englisch wiederholen?" - Sayod
- Literally: "Sorry, I don't understand german. Can you repeat it in english?" You actually differentiate two different "you" in german - the sentence uses the informal one, since it is a computer game, even though you are probably talking to strangers. The second sentence would be "Können Sie es auf englisch wiederholen?" if you want to be a bit more old fashioned/polite.
- "Alder, seh ich aus aus würd ich dich verstehen? Tipp englisch." - Dunar Dolorgiet
- ultra informal, aggressive (below uni standards)
- "Entschuldigung, ich verstehe kein deutsch. Kannst du es auf englisch wiederholen?" - Sayod
- "Hello! :)"
- German
- "Hallo! :)" - Sayod
- "I hope you're having a fantastic day!"
- German
- "Einen schönen Tag noch!" - Sayod
- Literally: "A nice day still" It is hard to translate "noch" in a sensible way - the "still" would be completely out of place in english.
- "Einen schönen Tag noch!" - Sayod
- "I didn't want that ship anyway"
- German
- "Ich wollte das Schiff sowieso nicht" - Sayod
Tranlators you can ping for a translation
Example Language
