Spanish translation for GZDOOM/Traducción al español para GZDOOM

I guess ID decided to put the "chaingun" as the name for the weapon because it sounds simple enough or just for saying why not? I don't know...

Well, there are other names that seem to be there just for saying why not. Like the BFG.

I wanted to say that I won't translate Strife or anything else, at least for a while. I'll keep taking suggestions for Doom, Heretic and Hexen though.

 

I'm just not in the mood to sit down and start translating from scratch again. Maybe in the future motivation (or extreme boredom) will hit me and I'll start translating once again.

If you can somehow "extract" the whole dialogue, I can take care of that. I'm used to working with big chunks of text, but someone else will have to "insert it back" into the game or something, whatever you call it.

 

Either that, or you wait for me until I buy Strife again. And learn how to mess with GZDoom for that matter.

The Strife dialogues are in scripts inside the STRIFE.WAD file. If you know how to use SLADE or a similar program, I could send you a WAD or pk3 file with the scripts. Then I could "reinsert them back" into the game.

Sounds good to me.

 

I'll be waiting.

I have Strife...well, it appears that the dialog part is in the log files inside the wad (94 files), at least if you look in Slade...

Most of those are the in-game messages from BlackBird. The dialogues are in script files.

I was thinking about the translation for "flechette" and I think the better translation for it is "frasco", because the flechette in Hexen is a flask. And the correct translation for flechette is "dardo", which doesn't make any sense at all. Flechette is a French word.

I believe the term "flechette" must be a holdover from a previous version of the game where the flechette (which is a weapon-type artifact after all) was actually a dart. Then they changed it to a flask but didn't change the name and it stopped making sense.

 

Either that or someone at Raven thought there was a common etymology between "flechette" and "flask", like it was a "flaskette" or something like that. Dumber things have happened. Anyway, "flechette" is French for "little arrow" and the English word for that is "dart". (Whereas the French word "dard" means "stinger".) English word "flechette" is a metal dart shaped like an arrow. In no case does it remotely look like the Hexen item; so go ahead and use this opportunity to give it a more fitting name.

Yeah, for example "Timebomb flechette" lit. translate as " Dardo de bomba de tiempo".... lolwat?. However, changing flechette for "frasco" sounds MUCH better and gives much more sense for recognizing the item...

Maybe we could think of a more "interesting" word than just "frasco", but it's good to have it as an option

Since the item is used as a trap...maybe using some similar word for trap or a two-word proper translation. Flechette is wrong in all senses.

"Dart" is "dardo" in Spanish. But being Spanish a Romance language, like French, the actual translation is very similar: "flechita". That's diminutive for "flecha" (arrow), very similar to French fléchette/flèche. But I think "flechita" sounds, like, weak or childish, if you know what I mean. Besides, as already mentioned, it does not look as a "flechette". Now, "frasco" is "flask", but the Quartz Flask is named "matraz" (which is also a valid translation), so I don't know. "Matraz" sounds better, I think, so maybe it should stay that way?

 

So, flechette-frasco, quartz flask-matraz de cuarzo.

 

Does that sound good?

 

P.S.: I don't speak French, so I may have that part wrong. It's what I found after a quick search.

The correct translation for flask is "matraz" and you know that "matraz" is used as a item for science stuff. But for a normal person or speaking in a neutral way, "matraz" is known as "frasco", and almost everybody recognize it as "frasco" instead of "matraz" :D

If I may suggest another word: Petaca ("hip flask" in English) seems to fit well the type of flask that the quartz flask is. Although apparently in Mexican Spanish it's also a bag?

Well, petaca has MANY meanings. The most common meaning for petaca is a small bottle with alcohol inside :). I've never heard a bag for petaca.

In Mexican Spanish, the most common meaning for "petaca" is actually a bag (more especifically, a "suitcase", as wordreference says). Petacas (in plural) is also slang for "butt" in central Mexico. I'm really not convinced. Maybe it makes more sense in South America. I have personally never heard anyone say "petaca" in reference to a small flask or bottle.

As a chilean, I know "petaca" as a small bottle or recipient which you can keep alcohol. A thing to consider, a simple spanish word can have many meanings depending of the country...That can be even problematic if you don't know the meaning of a word.

That being the case, I think "petaca" as a "small bottle for alcohol" seems to be a regionalism. "Frasco" and "matraz" are (I think) almost universally understood in all Spanish-speaking countries as a "flask". Which one to actually use for "flask" or "flechette" seems to be pretty subjective. I understand "frasco" as more generic, while "matraz" is not just any "flask", it's a flask for conducting experiments in chemistry laboratories, as you said.

 

What do you think?

What do you think?

Yes. At the end, it all depends of the context used. If I were a scientific using the poisonous flechette :D, I'd call it "matraz venenoso". But as a generic person, I'd call it "frasco venenoso" and believe me, NOT all people knows what a "matraz" is unless you explain what it is.

So, Strife.

I'll post it in parts, I don't know what's the character limit for posts.

Not sure about "pieza" or "símbolo" (or something else) for "token".
Also, not sure about "tierras fronterizas" for "borderlands". Maybe "frontera" could work here?

There will be more soon...

 

EDIT: Shit, it seems the spacing didn't come out as expected. Sorry about that.

Use code tags to preserve spacing, but perhaps you can use something like pastebin if you have a lot of text to post.

Thanks for the tip. I think I'll try pastebin.

LoreMaster is like "Maestro del saber" and "saber" is the same as "conocimiento". "Imágenes y sonido" is better than visual. The term "You can't miss it" is a phrase that is complicated to explain due to the context used. It's like the term "no hay donde perderse", meaning that if you follow the directions correctly, you'll find it.

Cállalo/siléncialo...I haven't played Strife in its entirety but I guess that character is killed. Maybe "siléncialo" is the right word. Elevador/ascensor...here in Chile we say ascensor, for example. Weapons trainer should be "Instructor de armas" instead of "entrenador". Power crystal...again, I need to see it in-game. A hell of a fight...another term that must not be translated literally. "Infernal" is hellish, and "hell of a fight" should be "batalla intensa" or "dura batalla".

The power crystal is literally a crystal that is somehow used as a source of power.

"You can't miss it", what about "no se puede pasar por alto" / "no lo puedes pasar por alto" / "no se puede ignorar" / "es inconfundible"?

 

I agree with "siléncialo", too.

 

Encuentra el santuario cerca del río. Están reteniendo a alguien llamado Beldin ahí dentro. Siléncialo y lleva su anillo a Rowan como prueba.

 

"Instructor de armas" also sounds good.

"No lo puedes pasar por alto"...That's the exact freaking phrase. Much better. 

I just realized that the flechette's ID is "ARTIPOISONBAG". Maybe "Frasco de Veneno" would be right.
