View Full Version : Russian changelog has multiple translation mistakes
Dryden
21st Mar 07, 12:25 AM
Examples:
1) Original:
» Hellhound
» Reduced the Hellhound accuracy on the move penalty from 40% to 15%.
Translation from Russian changelog:
Reduced accuracy on the move from 0% to 15%
2) 1) Original:
» Flayed Ones
» Decreased Flayed Ones special attacks damage to buildings.
Translation from Russian changelog:
Now Flayed Ones have special attack that damages buildings
These are worst and there are more of them.
The last one was a shock for russian players that waited for FOs to be fixed, not buffed.
I understand that wrong changelog is better than wrong patch ;)
But it seemed to me that russian changelog was written by a person that didnt play the game itself and hence made a stupid mistakes.
Thanks for the game, and good luck!

Given the past issues with the Russian publisher that wouldn't surprise me at all. Could you list some of the other typos please, maybe we can get Allie to forward this to them.

I'll try to when I am not busy.
I'll skip little mistakes that say 'damage nerf\buff' instead of 'accuracy nerf\buff' or 'detection level' instead of 'detection radius'. Also I'll skip changes where they didnt translate words 'slightly' or 'significantly'.
En: Increased Tainted Auspex Ward detection radius to 17.
Ru: Increased Pestilence damaged area radius to 17.
En: Chaos Projectiles Research has been reworked. Now allows individual Predator weapons to be upgraded to Lascannons
Ru: Upgrades individual Predator weapons to Lascannons
En: Added Mark of Khorne ability to Tier 3:
Ru: Added Mark of Khorne ability to cell 3:
En: Increased Defiler Battle Cannon disruption radius from 4 to 5.
Ru: Increased Defiler Battle Cannon radius (here was the word that means influence or action or work) from 4 to 5.
En: Horror squad armor type has been changed from Monster Medium to Heavy Medium.
Ru: Horror squad armor type has been changed from Monster Medium to Monster High.
More later.
en: Increased the disruption radius of Vypers from 4 to 6.
ru: Increased the radius of splash damage of Vypers from 4 to 6.
en: Farseer Hero research and Farseer Veteran research now increases Guardian Warlock health by 150 each.

en: Dark Reaper knife penetration to Infantry Medium reduced from 45 to 27.
ru: Dark Reaper knife damage to Infantry Medium reduced from 45 to 27.
en: Modified Call of War research to account for the Banshee Tier 1 health upgrades (Tier 2 Banshees still have the same health).
ru: Call of War research modified to modifie Banshee Tier 1 health (Tier 2 Banshees still have the same health).
en: "IG Weapon Specialization has been fixed" has 3 changes
ru: 5 changes with "Kasrkin GL do additional 50% dmg" and "GMs GL additional dmg decreased from 200% to 100%". Looks like they didnt understand that GL upgrade was bugged and fixed.
en: Assassination Scope no longer increases the Assassin’s line of sight.
ru: Assassination Scope no longer increases the Assassin’s range of fire.
More later...

tho I am not sure that few of the changes just were not included into English changelog and were included into Russian.
Thank you, I'm forwarding this to Relic. No promises, but maybe they can do something.

I dont think that they will replace this patch :)
But maybe they'll consider that for future.

While doing that I understood that russian translators do not need me to list their mistakes in Engligh. They rather need someone to check and correct their translation. So I'll stop with this for now.

I am working on fixed version of russian changelog for russian forum. I'll post it here when its done.
I changed my mind about translators:
I see now that translation was done by someone who knows the names of units well and understands some concepts of the game. Some stupid mistakes could be done by a tired person who is not native speaker. Some things could be translated right only by person who spends enough time on this forum to understand terms that were not used in game but used to describe game mechanics. Like "sync-kill" or "special attack" or armor types.

Here it is (http://www.warhammer-forums.ru/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=5543). Maybe it will be even included into patch if they will release a new version with fixed entries (to replace "no key" with proper names)
B-Typo
