The basics from part 1...

Project Details:

According to its official website:

"GDevelop is an open-source, cross-platform game creator designed to be used by everyone - no programming skills required."

Let your creativity run wild and create any type of game you wish!

The tools?

Plenty!

Use the revolutionary tool of "events" and create games from scratch without any special programming knowledge. You can publish your work to the web, iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux and even Facebook Messenger; and if you are using the app, you can easily export your game to Android.

Tutorials and guides are available to help you make your first steps, and for the more advanced users, some Javascript will surely send your game to the moon... and further!

You can either make your games online or download the program on your computer and... let the game begin!

Here, I will be dealing with the website and my next stop will be the program itself.

Our developer Language Manager, @dimitrisp, will be in charge of proofreading and reviewing this project.

Why this project?

After completing Mura CMS, the open-source content management system, I had to go through the whitelisted projects again and find myself another piece that would not only be suitable for my skills, but also close to my interests. GDevelop seemed like a fun project with lots of potential and benefits to offer, so I spared no second thoughts and started translating it into my native language.

I am a creative person myself, therefore a project that "feeds" on people's creativity and offers chances to promote it and have fun, while sharing the final results with so many other users, seemed like something I'd like to help and spread the word about. The fact that games created with GDevelop are compatible with almost any platform, raises the chances of it being adopted by new users more easily. Don't forget that it's like a "game creator for dummies", armed with guides and tutorials to help the average user who wants to experiment and create their own game to share with their friends and why not... the rest of the world!

For all the above reasons, I would like to see more Greek speaking users try this game creator out, and this is why I am translating the project into Greek.

Contribution Specifications

Translation Overview:

The original text contains 2318 words, an easily manageable number. This project will be completed in 2 parts.

When I first started working on the GDevelop Website project, very few strings were already translated and approved. My job is to read those again and make sure they are correct and follow the wording and writing style I use throughout the project.

Languages:

The original text is all written in English and it is my task to translate it in Greek (my mother tongue).

The current session...

Activity Overview:

In this second and last session of the Website, I finished the rest of the text. Following @dimitrisp's suggestions after a discussion we had, I translated certain strings in a specific way or left some words untranslated, because we believed that the English term is better understood by Greek gamers.

Have a look at some of the strings I worked on:

"See how to use GDevelop to add a trigger in your game in 90 seconds" ="Δείτε πώς να χρησιμοποιήσετε το GDevelop για να προσθέσετε ένα κουμπί ενεργοποίησης στο παιχνίδι σας σε 90 δευτερόλεπτα"

or

"Fierce and juicy 2d jet combat against masses of air and ground based enemies" = "Άγρια και πικάντικη 2D αερομαχία ενάντια σε εχθρούς από αέρα και ξηρά"

and

"Complex gameplay and controls" = "Σύνθετο gameplay και στοιχεία ελέγχου"

---

Word Count:

According to Crowdin's word count tool, in this session I translated 1153 words. After subtracting a rough 5% for untranslated words that were mainly gaming terms like "shooter" and "platformer" (I chose to leave such words in English as they are common words Greek gamers meet every day, so the original English word is better understandable for them); I can say that I have translated about 1095 words.

Note: The previous part contained about 1092 words.

TL;DR

I finished the second part of the GDevelop Website project. This piece is now completed and I can move on to translating the desktop version of this open-source cross-platform game creator. @dimitrisp will be the proofreader and reviewer of my work again. In this session I translated about 1095 words. This project was not very demanding, although there were some gaming terms that puzzled me, but all in all it was a "translator-friendly" project. The program version will not be that easy, as more complex terms will appear, at least that's the idea I got after going through a bunch of strings before "getting my hands on it".
