The Curious Expedition - Greek Translation Part. 27

(credit)

Current Session

Yeepy! This contribution brings me to the completion of 33 % of The Curious Expedition. Only a gazillion words left to translate:

It's been a couple of days since I finished this translation but I was too lazy to proof read my strings and prepare this post. I guess today was the day to stop being lazy!

Like always, here are some of the strings I translated for this session to give you an idea of what I am dealing with:

• "[I refused the proposal|This was unacceptable|I could not lose a precious animal]. $name [got very angry listening to my reasoning of why I would not sacrifice the animal|was incensed by my decision|became irrational and not open to any discussion]."

• "[$name set up $his equipment|$name agreed to create a painting of this wonderful sight] and [started to paint|began $his work on|employed his skills on|began to capture] the [landscape|location|view|magnificent vista]."

• "[Glorious Continue!|Victory!|Triumph!|Onwards!|History books, here I come!|Return Home!|To England!|Success!|Become a Legend!|For Fame and Glory!|Leave the Horror behind!|No Regrets!|Don't Look Back!|Never Return!|To History!|Endless Fame Awaits!|More Adventure Awaits!|Farewell!|To the Explorers Club!|Fortune and Glory!|This is History!]"

• "A [master crafter of saddles|expert saddle builder|pack saddle artisan] offered to improve the carrying capacity of any of our animals. [Her price was rather steep|Her high quality work demanded a high price|Her work was quite pricey], but [we could surely use the additional crates|the additional carrying capacity would certainly benefit the expedition]."

As you can see, it's easy peasy stuff :)

And like always, here's a small taste of what I was listening to during this session:

Project Details

The Curious Expedition is a rogue-like expedition simulation set in the 19th century. It's the first game by indie developer Maschinen-Mensch. The game is available on Steam, GOG, Humble Store and at the official homepage http://curious-expedition.com. The game has been regularly updated through out the last 2 years. A list of all the updates can be found here. For information on modding the game, go here . [source and more info]

Gameplay

Here's a video showing some in-game footage from the game to get a good idea of what to expect. Maybe it will convince you to give it a try:

And here's what I believe to be the official trailer:

Why Did I Choose This Project?

Well, to be honest, I chose this project because all the other options were applications with boring names like Freecad and Jabref. I thought it would be fun (edit: less boring) to translate a game instead. And thank god... I was right!

I am sure my team members are very jealous that I get to translate strings like "Let's eat", "Giant tortoise", "I feel happy and sad", and "Oh my god" while they get to translate stuff like "resolving duplicate keys", "Port Design", "Constraining modifier key" and "Corrugated elements"... LOL!

Too bad for them, now they have to live with the choices they have made....MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Contribution Specifications

• Translation Overview: This is a really large project, approximately 80.000 words and obviously it's gonna take me a while to finish. In each part I plan to translate anywhere from 700 to 1200 words. For the most part, the translation is very easy as there are few, if any, technical terms.
• Languages: The project is being translated from English to Greek.
• Word Count: According to Crowdin, for Part 27# I translated 899 words, for a total of 27.835 translated words. Since most of the strings translated were part of the in-game dialogues there were only a handful (1, maybe 2%) that were left in the original language, e.g. screenshot.
