How about ”seltsam“, ”sonderbar“, ”fremd“ or ”fremdartig“? I feel like I just don’t have a good idea… Two is the oddest prime. Top Quote

You forgot to mention ‚‘ which seem to be fairly common, too. Two is the oddest prime. Top Quote

But I won't use them, either. @Venatrix: Could you add a list with all open issues to the first post in this thread so we don't lose track of it ...? Something like: Open issues Translation of “ancient castle” Quotation marks Appellation of characters in campaigns Solved issues Translation of “resource” Translation of “button” Single-digit numbers Translation of present continuous Empire_01 Use of the same punctuation in the translation?

I have used them in translation whenever I recently did one and I was on Linux. "Only few people know how much one has to know in order to know how little one knows." - Werner Heisenberg Top Quote

So I had a look and found some more or less interesting questions (not all given by him): Building Space → I’m not sure, if we really need that. I found it once and decided to go for „Bauplatz“. Normally it’s in connection with showing the building space, so it’s „Bauhilfe einschalten“. Gilded Armor → It wil replace the Plate Armor (Plattenharnisch) from the Empire. How shall we translate it? Goldener Harnisch? Goldharnisch? Vergoldeter Harnisch? Schmuckharnisch? Geschmückter Harnisch? Host → The comment says, Gastgeber and Host are used, so we should decide on one. Not sure, which one, though. Immovable → Unbewegliches Objekt? Too bulky, imo. Junction → Um… It’s a Kreuzung, I guess? Come on, do we really need that? metaserver → Metaserver, I’d say. Story Message Window → I’m not even sure, I understand what he means… The phrase is used just once in the tutorial 01, so I would delete it from the glossary right away. tab → The question in the comment is „Tab, Reiter oder Kategorie?“. Kategorie is the wrong word as it’s about the buttons you press when you look for the workers in a house for example. If we want to translate it (pfui denglisch), I’d go for Reiter, though that may be more work. Vision range → Used twice (building help window and tutorial 01), so I would delete that too. Two is the oddest prime. Top Quote

Ich hab das mal im Kommentar ergänzt. Junction - Prom added this, he probably needs it to help him for his own translation. Just ignore it. metaserver → Metaserver: Richtig. Story Message Window: I think the comment will tell everybody that it's not that common. tab = Tab oder Reiter. Kategorie paßt definitiv nicht. Since vision range is in more than 1 spot, just leave it for now. All the "official" entries have comments on them, so if you see something without a comment, it's up to you if you wish to fill the entry or not. I also recommend that if you add a new entry or see one without comment, that you add a comment. Busy indexing nil values Top Quote

For example I have added „food“ and don’t know, what I should write in the comment. Two is the oddest prime. Top Quote
