the nature of volfoss is they will make translating proper nouns actually the most hellish thing int eh world.
#twist rambles#like. theres one location that has about 5 diff translations. the machine translation has it as lily june or liliegen. then i get the#physical map. ok. its lelie june. thats fine. and its the same when its shown in the in game map when ur travelling. and THEN i get a title#card in game. which happens w locations often. and it shows up as lelie jene. i nearly started crying. and there was one more machine#translation one but i also like. did not remember bc i recognize the kanji now. which is a plus to all this i think. but it is so infinitel#frustrating. i didnt have all the resources i did when i started it and shalvas' name translated to charbas/charbus OFTEN. so in my brain#that is his name. it is not. the only name i havent had issues w is uchidas and thats bc its like. actually japanese and not the scariest#spelling that they can inflict on man. some of the other things that are definitely SOMETHING translation wise is that like. a lot of the#official english on the map is misspelled. and im staying accurate to the map. so theres typos. not even to get into characters that im lik#sure appear once. and thats it. and i NEVER know what their name is. bc its not important enought o be in the gallery. rip to whatever the#official spelling of riggin/rigging is. i will never know.#♟#the amt of time chris has had to wake up to me having the WORST time bc the translation stuff is so inconsistent w proper nouns. the MANY#creature names spelled weird. iron meiden and like. 5 million others. the amt of times i have (sic) in my doc by their names is far too man#sorry i love to complain. it IS a labor of love. but i am also so like. worried abt some of the names. can you imagine having to write a#serious paragraph when a guys name is ax fart. because thats one of the guys names.
