I've looked through the archived feeds on Wayback Machine (link), there are posts of everything there, but nearly no translations, as it is a feed of the newest posts. Many games may have intermediate results or posts which may be relevant for someone, but not for me. Have a look!
The Translations Projects page on Wayback Machine (The Internet Archive): link, alas most links are dead (never archived), the rest archived the error page AFTER the forum died, with no instance old enough to contain content...
The wayback machine is incredibly unsorted: found another page of the translations forum here and here, again most instances have been captured when the site was dead already.
Standard error message which has been captured:

Not Found

The requested URL /function.include was not found on this server.
Apache Server at forums.goblinscomic.com Port 80

It may also be, that the Wayback Machine did not save .php pages... Which is sad for us. (Although I had access to some feed.php results), see below)


Sometimes, especially with Google cache, I've found multiple instances of the pages, I've only kept the newest, and replaced older ones when I found a newer one.

ARGH, in Yahoo, I found MANY references to the searched thread pages, but no link to the Yahoo-cache. So the result is still there, yet the cache has lost the page. The result will be, that within a short time even the results will disappear. (NOTE: Yahoo does not have cache itself anymore. It IS the Bing cache (bingj.com).)

I'll now stop with further searches, for some reason the transcription threads really have NOT been cached. Apparently too few changes.... (no changes in my signature for a long time before the crash, means no updates necessary for the cached pages, which meant that the cached pages were old when the BF-forum crashed - and therefore flushed shortly after the forum crashed, and before I started my search). This thread is a side result of my hunt for cached pages of the transcription thread. I hope I could help you with it.

Once more the link to the original page is wrong. It should be: http://www.goblinscomic.com/07102005/


-1- Säule: Dies ist die Kreuzung der ewigen Verdammnis! I thought we agreed on "Kreuzweg"? Not that I mind "Kreuzung".

-1- Säule: Das folgende Abenteuer enthält Gewalt- und kurze Naktszenen und ist daher nicht für Kinder oder Halblinge geeignet. I would change "Gewalt-" to "Gewalt". There is no need to add the "-szenen" to it. Also the "kurze Nacktszenen" is not actually true. We never see the nipples of Drow babe, so maybe "flüchtig" or "beinahe" and "Nacktheit" would be better.

-1- Minmax: Aber wie sollen wir einen solchen Ort finden? Und wie finden wir dahin/das?

-6- Seth: Ich, der ich mich von dem B├Âsen der Unterwelt abgewandt habe, um Heldentaten im Lichte der Oberfl├ñche zu vollbringen, ohne jedoch mein cooles Dunkelelfen-Image zu verlieren. Dies macht mich zu einem einzigartigen, tragischen Helden, genau wie meinen Halbcousin Drizzt!

This is supposed to be a joke on typical "disclaimer" messages. Putting this in the comic intentionally breaks the fourth wall, and our translation should not smooth over the intentionally rough edges of the story.

In fact, the following adventure might have contained nudity, but it is changed by Forgath's "prayer" to Herbert (for a harder adventure - which leads to the arrival of the pit fiend) and contains no real violence - since the party flees - and no nudity.

I agree that we can drop the hyphen, and I also made some more changes according to your good suggestions.

Umm... what? No, you somehow got that wrong. I am currently doing the very opposite!
The Comic Pages 1-8 were discussed in one thread, I have only recently begun splitting them up, a system that you (among others) suggested
What I plan to do is create a subforum dedicated to German comic pages and move all discussion threads there once they are done.

Erm, ok, then. I must have mixed up my memories, because I thought we always made one thread per page, and now that they are finished, you merged them back into one. I blame DiesHorribly at random for this!

But yes, a sub-forum would be nice. Why can't we create one, I thought we were Mods? Or have I overlooked the proper option for that so far?

We can create it (you just haven't found the function yet ), but we should use our powers carefully.

I suggest we only push important (finished) threads to the subforum to keep the main forum clean. Whatever is in a subforum will get less visits, normally.

We could call it the "GTP Archive" or "GTP Project - Archived Threads" subforum. What do you think?

We are a bit off topic here, though

Back on topic: I find the whole belt buckle/helmet inscription lines distracting in the translation. Should we really keep it in, or should we rely on the SVG creator (currently Nerre) to change all occurrences of apparel inscriptions (this is a helmet, MM, I am great etc.)? When we do thefinal page check, we should find everything that was overlooked.

More on topic: We need to be careful to make sure the monologue fits the frame (not the bubble!). Nerre has already told us before that the actual speech bubble dimensions are of secondary importance, since he can create a new bubble overlay if needed - of course only if there is enough free space in the frame.

So, how do we find out how much space we have got? Could somebody "measure" how many characters of our chosen font fit in?

Yeah, I am a bit sucky at technical things. I need someone to explain things to me, or a manual or something. I'm not so keen on learning by trial and error, because I am really prone to cause catastrophes that way.
Spoiler: hide
(Example: I once tried to delete ONE SMS on my mobile phone, but ended up in accidentally deleting ALL of them... And this is not the worst of it, but I'm too bashful to tell about other even more devastating/embarrassing incidents...)
So I'd rather not do that.

Don't worry, your question is absolutely valid. It's not so simple, since we need to actually start making the page to see whether we have too much text

We should be good, though, I have faith in Nerre's abilities to fit the text in.

Let's get back to the contents for now. We can always make a good text shorter if needed.

On Topic:
I remember vaguely the discussion about the "Kreuzweg"/"Kreuzung"... I do prefer "Kreuzweg".
For the rest (panels 1-5), I can accept the proposal as you put it together.

Panel 6: Just imagine combining the different parts of your proposal.....
I, personally, prefer:
"Ich, der ich mich von dem B├Âsen des Unterreiches abgewandt und das Gute im Licht des Tages angenommen habe, ohne die coole Ausr├╝stung meines Volkes abzulegen, und dadurch zu einem wahrhaft einzigartigen, tragischen Helden wurde, genau wie mein Halbcousin Drizzt?"

But I can live with all of the proposals. Good work, thank You!


Off Topic:
I like the proposal to create a subforum for the archived discussion threads.
"GTP - Archived Threads" sounds fully acceptable as a name.

device inscription lines being included in the transcription:
I am in favour, although maybe not EVERY instance needs to be in.
Mainly, it is a good indication that there is more text in this panel/on this page than just the spoken text.
Yes, it disturbs, but it also points out that other texts will need attention when translating the page.

Some things, like the pin Minmax wears ("MM") will only need a translation into languages with a different alphabet, so most translation projects will likely never need this specific reminder.

1..5 is fine with me.

I think "coole Ausr├╝stung" is a gross misstranslation compared to the english original. Imaginary got nothing to do with equipment. The other translation with "obwohl ich ein cooler Dunkelelf bin" is closer, but still not fine. It is about the heritage, the culture and imaginary of the darkelves, which I tried to put into my suggestion. Hope you like it.
Also changed it from "werde" to "wurde" since Thunt used past in his original, too.

Indeed, "ohne mein cooles Dunkelelfenerbe zu verleugnen" fits much better.

I vote Nerre's proposal 6d)

Edit: Ich bin eher f├╝r "-erbe" als f├╝r "-herkunft"...

Ich bin auch f├╝r Nerre's 6 d) Vorschlag.
W├╝rde allerdings noch weitergehen und "Dunkelelfenherkunft" statt "Dunkelelfenerbe" sagen. Aber ich sch├ñtze mal das wird zu lang. Falls Ihr es irgendwie unterbringen k├Ânnt...

Tja, ich habe eigentlich auch keine Änderungen mehr. Gute Arbeit alle zusammen

Eine kleine Änderung:

Zeile 2, Rechtschreibkorrektur:

SharesLoot wrote:-1- Säule: Das folgende Abenteuer kann Gewalt und kurze Naktszenen enthalten und ist daher nicht für Kinder oder Halblinge geeignet.

Nacktszenen


Und ansonsten sollten wir direkt die "ß"-Buchstaben durch "ss" ersetzen, damit Nerre das nicht aus Versehen übersieht.

Danke f├╝r die Korrekturen!

ich bin allerdings f├╝r "(halb)cousin" statt kusin... oder? Bei uns im S├╝den ist die franz├Âsische Schreibweise viel ├╝blicher.

Die offizielle deutsche Schreibweise ist "Kusin", dennoch schreibe ich pers├Ânlich "Cousin".
Allein schon wegen der Aussprache. (Sprich "Kusin" mal so aus wie man's schreibt, die Betonung liegt dann beim "i", während die Originalbetonung beim "u" liegen sollte.)
Im Rheinland kommt beides vor, die ├ñltere Generation bevorzugt die franz. Schreibweise (war ja vor Ewigkeiten mal franz├Âsisch).
"Kusin" existiert glaube ich erst seit der letzten Rechtschreibreform.

Da wir eine Übersetzung machen, die evtl. auch irgendwann tatsächlich mal von Schulkindern gelesen werden KÖNNTE, sollten wir die offizielle, eingedeutschte Schreibweise nehmen.

Erwischt! Du hast nicht nachgelesen

1996 und 2004 gab es Rechtschreibreformen, die 2006 aufgrund großer Proteste erneut überarbeitet wurden. Mit der aktuellen Rechtschreibung kenne ich mich bestens aus

Im Duden gibt es "Kusin" gar nicht mehr (in keinem der aktuellen Bände), "Kusine" im Universalduden schon, der Eintrag verweist aber kommentarlos auf den Eintrag "Cousine". Bei Cousin steht:
Cou|sin [ku'z: ], der; -s, -s [frz. cousin, ├╝ber das Vlat. zu lat. consobrinus]:
Sohn des Bruders od. der Schwester eines Elternteils; Vetter (1):
er ist mein C., ein C. von mir.
┬® Duden - Deutsches Universalw├Ârterbuch, 7. Aufl. Mannheim 2011 [CD-ROM].

Die einzige noch gültige Alternative zu "Cousin" wäre "Vetter".

Klingt doch fett. :gangstaface:

So tun wir was f├╝r die deutsche Sprache.

Nimm Cousin, ist bekannter, und jeder weiss was gemeint ist.

Tja, ich habe halt nie Kontakt zu meinen Vettern gehabt, nur zu meinen Basen. Vieleicht liegt es daran....
Und alle wohnen im westlichen deutschen Grenzraum. Die Stadt zentral war auch lange Franz├Âsisch (Aix-la-Chapelle). Bin deshalb sowieso kaum mit den Begriffen Vetter/Base/Kusine konfrontiert worden. Immer nur mit Cousin und Cousine....

Edit:
Bei LEO.org wird auch darauf hingewiesen, dass "der Kusin" tatsächlich in keinem grossen Nachschlagwerk mehr vorkommt. Kusine wohl.... mit Verweis auf Cousine und/oder Base.

Mein Fehler, mea culpa maxima.


Edit2:
Danke, jetzt habe ich doch glatt wieder viel Zeit auf de.wikipedia verplempert.....

Looks good to me. I especially like the "Cousin".
It's what I learned to use and it just feels wrong to write or read it any other way. It's nice to know that it IS the official version still (or once more), too. So thanks Shares. =)

Discussing twenty-odd names at a time has made it hard to keep up with for people who just drop in. For example, someone dropping by now will see a discussion about Complains and miss what has been said about Boulder. Let's first finish these last few names before we tackle the next thing. I find 29/36 names resolved quite good already.

Making separate threads will bog us down, I think, because it will tempt us to give attention to the things that are new, easy and exciting, while the hard decisions drag on and on.

First name on the agenda: Boulder (because we're waiting for Thunt to get back to Narie about Sticks).

I choose Kei, because that's what I would call those stones Thunt refers to as boulders in his video of his new house, and because it has the pleasant connotation of being really awesome (kei-neig, kei-goed etc.). Short and powerful.



I actually like Rots or Rotsblok more, because of the connotation of Rotsvast, Rots in de branding, etc.

Haha, I think we could manage two different threads just fine - I would at any rate keep both of them going. However, if most of you guys prefer not to, then we'll finish this up first, of course.

For most of the names that are here right now, I've already indicated my preference, if I have any. For Sticks, Boulder and Bladebeard I'm fine with any option, so I've not much to add to those. For Hawl I like simply Hawl de Handelaar, but again, other good options have been mentioned as well, so I can live with those. Shaken-Unfairly, I think, leans towards Onterecht-Geschud, which has my preference, but the different translations are very similar anyway.

For Complains and Ears - well, there's been a lot of discussion, but I'd like to hear everyone's opinion on the suggested 'Kritisch-over-Namen' voor Complains, which I think is a great option and which has my 'vote'. For Ears I like Flapoor more than Grootoor, but it's true that the first can be used as an insult as well. I think it won't be a big issue, but we need to decide as a team, so again, let's hear it.

I'm not really in favour of doing these names one by one, which I think would take up an unnecessary amount of time considering a lot of people don't post that often, so I'll just keep making these little compilations of my own reactions.

Also, I'll see if I can track down the rest of the names that aren't on our list. There's quite a few still...

Well, that would be the point where I would just like to have two different threads, one for names and one for page translations. There's no real reason not to, since we will have to wait for each other all the time anyway. Might as well use that time to post in the other thread.

That's the thing. If the German transcription team had to wait on the discussions until a page is finalised, they would not be at page abc yet (I didn't look, but they are way ahead!)

We all ive in different places, have different amounts of time on our hands, and handle tings differently. If you guys want to do everything in order, I don't mind at all, but you might get more input and participation overall if you spread this out a bit.

What I meant is: having transcriptions / first drafts for translations in one thread and the discussion in another seems efficient, because they can work at different paces, but having three different threads for discussing things does not.

We did the list of names to get started and see how things work, which was educational, but once we're done I'd like to start with page one and move from there, without running ahead to translate the Brassmoon names, and without starting discussion on page five before page four is finished. It's tempting to do so when you hit a snag and nobody feels like they still have something to add to the debate, but if you start doing that, then some pages will never get finished.

Yeah, but you can have page translation discussion in one thread, and name translation discussion in another. I honestly don't see what the downsides are. It's twice as efficient if anything. They're different things after all. It's not running ahead, it's working on two different parts of the project at once, which don't really overlap. We still need to do the name translation, but they don't relate at all to the page translations, so it's much easier to have the names finished by the time we get that far with the pages. Especially seeing how long it takes to decide on some names, it's good to start thinking about them early on.

If we have to start a new name discussion every time we get to a page that has a new name, that is going to slow things down a lot every time. It's better to, when we're waiting for each other to reply in one thread, we can pop over to the other to work on the other part of the project.

The downside I see is this: it creates a sort of vacuum around the names that are not immediately needed, the illusion that there is no need to come to an agreement right away. Then that mindset slips into the entire project and we end up dragging every time we disagree. I would much prefer a work ethic where we grab the bull by the horns and get on with it.

You don't have to agree with me. I can live with separate threads for names, items, pages,... hell, we can make a separate thread for each individual name and I will go along with it - but I don't think it will make things go any easier. Some names (and later on: some pages) will be easy to agree on, some will not. The best way to resolve them is to not let ourselves be distracted by other things until someone bites the bullet and goes "alright, we've avoided this for a few weeks now, we're not getting anything new, what shall we do?"

Therefore, to get back to the matter at hand:

I like Rots as well, for the same reasons. The only name I would prefer not to use is Rotsblok, because it doesn't flow off the tongue as easily and because it seems unnecessarily long given that there are two options that are shorter and sound more powerful. Since Sleaw is ok with either, shall we agree on Rots and move on to Targoth Bladebeard?

Done.

I like the Zwaardbaard a lot, and agreed with the argument that avoid aliteration for the simple fact it is an aliteration is not a good argument. Thus Klingbaard doesn't do it for me, and Zwaardbaard does.

Well, Zwaardbaard has been my favourite pretty much from the moment it was first suggested, I actually quite like the rhyme (and Bladebeard is an alliteration to start with, so definitely no objections there). So we should check who disagreed with it and let them have a say.

I went back to reread what was said. Orzahn was actually okay with Zwaardbaard and suggested Klingbaard as an alternative, Luteijn is the one who really objected to introducing a rhyme, and there was one poster above (Errant_dutchman) who preferred Klingbaard as well.

I don't like suppressing a minority vote, but Luteijn hasn't weighed in again. Shall we send him a PM and give him a few days to come plead his case? Although to be honest, his reasons are quite clear

What? We all have to contribute, Sleaw with suggestions, you with cousins.

Edit: back on topic. Well, I'm not feeling too great about this, but I do like Zwaardbaard, and they can always come back and, ehm, complain, I guess?

So, Hawl then. I think we can safely state that we're going with Handelaar over Voddenvent, so let's forget about the latter. What do we do about the first name? I would like to translate it with a pun if possible. Heul de Handelaar appeals to me, but so do Zeul or Sleur. I actually think that I haven't heard a suggestion that I didn't like, so do you guys have a preference? Or do you really not want to translate it at all?

Edit┬▓: In light of the fact that we're already outruling Luteijn on Zwaardbaard, I would suggest forgetting about Sleur de Leurder (even though I really like that one) because it was his exact suggestion for what he didn't want, and that would be pouring salt into the wound.

I preffered Hawl, but I can go with Heul.
I agree that Handelaar as last name is a foregone conclusion.

Heul and Hawl are pretty close, so I'm fine with either.

Also like the decisions on Rots and Zwaardbaard, those were my choices as well

EDIT: I just had a thought on Heul. If the name is translated, shouldn't it be Heuwl? The name's a pun, but it's not literal, just like the English version. (Hawl = haul)

Yay, agreement! About Heul... I don't think that actually means lugging stuff around at all. Heulen means to collaborate with an enemy. It's only used in reference to 'hauling' in the expression 'heulen en zeulen', in which it only exists for the sake of the rhyme. Heulen by itself doesn't have that meaning though, I think. I've looked around but I can't find that anywhere, only 'collaborate'.

Thoughts/evidence to the contrary?

Meaningwise, yes, Heul doesn't get there, I think the only reason it got attention is that it has the same starting letter as Hawl and the alliteration in Heul de Handelaar is nice. For the meaning, Sleur and Zeul are better.

We could also look at the noun haul rather than the verb, which would then lead to Vangst or Opbrengst, neither of which I'm particularly fond of, but perhaps it will spawn other, better ideas. Buit, perhaps? I'd just like to have it translated.

Edit: actually, Buit would have the advantage that we can misspell it Buijt, just like Hawl is misspelled Haul. Just a thought.

Welkom bij goblins
Voordat je begint met lezen, is er iets dat je moet weten

Er is nog veel dat ik kan leren als artiest en als auteur. Dat is altijd zo geweest en hopelijk zal het altijd zo zijn. Als de dag aanbreekt dat ik alles weet over deze twee kunstvormen, zullen zij hun aantrekkingskracht voor mij verliezen. Tijdens mijn inspanningen om te verbeteren, zullen mijn teken- en schrijfstijlen geleidelijk veranderen. Voor de lezers die deze strip al een langere tijd hebben gevolgd, zal deze verandering geleidelijk zijn. Als je een nieuwe lezer bent, heb je waarschijnlijk door een paar van de nieuwste pagina's gebladerd, iets gezien wat je aantrok en besloten deze strip vanaf het begin te lezen. Voor jou zal de verandering mogelijk niet zo geleidelijk zijn. Laten we die pleister maar snel van de wonde aftrekken, ok? Maak je geen zorgen, ik ben hier en we doen het samen.

Daar heb je het. Nu je dit gezien hebt, is het minder waarschijnlijk dat je de nieuwste pagina's ziet, vervolgens naar de eerste pagina klikt en denkt dat je bij een andere strip bent aanbeland.

Terwijl ik trots ben op de verbeteringen die ik heb gemaakt en ik vooruit kijk naar verdere verbeteringen met de jaren, zullen de eerste goblin strips altijd een speciale plek in mijn hart hebben en zullen ze onveranderd blijven (naast het feit dat de eerste zwart-en-wit pagina's ingekleurd en opnieuw beletterd zijn voor de gepubliceerde graphic novel).

Ik hoop dat je zult genieten van goblins, dat begonnen is als MIJN strip, maar over de jaren is veranderd in ONZE strip. Niet alleen aan mij toebehorend, maar ook aan de lezers die er zoveel van zijn gaan houden als ik.

It's not perfect but I hope it sounds a bit better. Also I don't know if this is planned, but maybe we should limit the amount of time we spent on a page. I feel some things may not be translate well into Dutch but we shouldn't dwell on it too long. The Dutch readers will forgive us a few mistakes.

I tried that for the German GTP project. A fixed time limit is okay if it is long enough so all participants have the chance to state their opinion. Since this is a forum, however, we have moved to a more flexible approach where we continue as soon as a few core contributors say they are fine with the translation.

I'd like to replace 'Terwijl' with 'Hoewel', 'Artiest' with 'Tekenaar' (or 'Striptekenaar') and Author with 'Scenarist' (or 'Scenarioschrijver'). 'Auteur' and 'Artiest' don't cover (imho) what is meant. Although there's been some discussion about sticking tothe original as close as possible or to translate the meaning, I'm not sure if there's consensus on this. I've got mixed feelings about this, but we should look at why we're translating this. It's not to teach people English, or even understanding what a gerund is. If people wanted to learn English, they should just be reading the originals and we should be writing annotations explaining things. Actually, we're probably translating for our own fun, but the idea is that it will enable the three people that would be interested in Goblins, but can only read Dutch well enough to enjoy the comic too.

So please, don't translate verb tenses in English with the gramatically corresponding Dutch verb tense, we're not proving to the teacher that we recognised the use of a present participle, a gerund, the future perfect tense etc. etc. here, but trying to make a natural translation, and the 'right' tense in English is not always the 'right' tense in Dutch. E.g. by the book, future tense is indicated with the auxilary verb 'zullen', in practice, one seldom does this, and if we use an auxilary verb at al, we often use 'gaan' instead; usually we just use present tense and some other words to indicate we're talking about the future. One only uses 'zullen' when being (mock) formal, or translating Latin exercises in school to indicate you noticed the verb conjugation.

In the spoiler a rewritten version that I think flows more naturally in Dutch, some other changes to less important words are in there too. It can probably be better than this...

Welkom bij Goblins.
Voordat je begint met het lezen van de strip, eerst even dit:

Ik kan nog veel leren als tekenaar en als scenarist. Dat is altijd zo geweest en hopelijk blijft dat ook altijd zo. De dag waarop ik alles weet over deze twee kunstvormen, is ook de dag waarop ze hun aantrekkingskracht voor mij verliezen. Ik heb me tijdens hetv maken van de strip steeds verder ontwikkelt en mijn teken- en schrijfstijl is daarbij veranderd. Voor de lezers die de strip al een langere tijd volgen, is dit een geleidelijke verandering geweest. Als je een nieuwe lezer bent, dan heb je waarschijnlijk door een paar van de nieuwste pagina's gebladerd, iets gezien wat je aantrok en toen besloten de strip vanaf het begin te gaan lezen. Voor jou is de verandering waarschijnlijk niet zo geleidelijk. Laten we die pleister er maar in ├®├®n keer aftrekken, ok? Maak je geen zorgen, ik ben hier en we doen het samen.

Daar heb je het. Nu je dit gezien hebt, is het minder waarschijnlijk dat je de nieuwste pagina's ziet, vervolgens naar de eerste pagina klikt en denkt dat je bij een andere strip bent aanbeland.

Hoewel ik trots ben op de verbeteringen die ik heb gemaakt en ik vooruit kijk naar verdere verbeteringen met de jaren, zullen de eerste Goblin strips altijd een speciale plek in mijn hart hebben en zullen ze onveranderd blijven (behalve dan dat de eerste zwart-wit pagina's ingekleurd en opnieuw beletterd zijn voor de gepubliceerde graphic novel).

Ik hoop dat je gaat genieten van Goblins, dat begonnen is als MIJN strip, maar met het voortschrijdne der jaren veranderd is in ONZE strip, die niet alleen van mij is, maar van de lezers die er net zoveel van zijn gaan houden als ik.

Sounds good! I think 'schrijver' would work fine instead of 'scenarist' as well, but that might be a personal preference. And instead of 'ik ben hier' I would probably say 'ik ben bij je', which I think is the Dutch way of saying you're there for someone. A few spelling errors here and there, but overall, good job! It made Narie's translation just a bit more natural, in my opinion.

Both 'schrijver' and 'auteur' make me think of a novelist first. Perhaps 'scenarioschrijver', despite being a long word, would be better than 'scenarist'. If the idea of doing a relanguaging instead of a translation is accepted, I'll gladly go over it again to try and remove spelling mistakes and typos (I tend to swap letters if one hand goes quicker than the other), although one is often blind to their own typos, so it would be better if someone else did, at the same time fixing even more things, afterall, what is 'more natural' to me, might not be to most other people.

Also, I agree on the 'ik ben hier' thing, there's quite a few expressions that just don't work when directly translated into Dutch, and that one should be changed too. Another one I don't like but didn't replace in that first attempt is "en ik vooruit kijk naar"; this should be "en ik me verheug op".

Well, it's true that for comics, video games, plays and movies the term 'scenarist' would sooner be used, but at the same time, that feels to me like someone who only does part of the job, and is hired to do it, whereas the term 'auteur' for me implies ownership, you know? Probably just in my mind, though, but when I hear 'scenarist', I think of someone who writes for a larger project. Like it's limiting in some way. I don't know, it's weird. Let's hear some other opinions.

Arguably, Goblins can be described as a 'graphic novel'. Out of those, I'd go with 'schrijver', myself. Plus, if you ask me, due to the format they're presented in, comics are closer to a novel than a film, video game, or play anyway. However, the usual term to describe anyone who creates their own comic I'm familiar with is '(strip)tekenaar', even if their job description is not merely drawing, so I think that's your best option. The presence or absence of 'strip' would be dictated purely by context and stylistic considerations.

Well, if it takes you that long to agree on ONE page, you should change your approach.
Remember: Thunt has a head start of nearly 7 years, and in the beginning he had a VERY high update schedule (nearly 4/week).

There are already 194 transcriptions done (not counting the "Axe of Prissan" sheets done on the old Keenspot forum), the last one has a publishing date of 16 July 2006, still nearly 6 years ago....

Guysss! One more week for me until I have lots of spare time again, and I hope I'm not the only one. I could kind of use a show of hands here to see if anyone's still hanging around. If I don't get responses in the next week, I'm going to send out some PMs to poke people just in case they forgot this thread was here. I'm nowhere near willing to let this die, even if I have to do it all by myself, but it'd be much more fun to still do it together!

So, forget it and move on.

I've finally had a chance to come over and read up. After not being here for a while, I feared there'd be ten pages to wade through and that held me back a lot, if I'd known there'd be this little I'd have made the effort sooner. Both translations have a few grammar mistakes / typo's. I think I'll make my own translation later, which will be significantly further from the original. I also don't much care that we're going slow at this point: better to go slow and end up with a product worthy of Thunt's excellent work than trying desperately to catch up and having every person who reads it contact us to point out how they could've done a better job themselves (though on the other hand, it might be a way to recruit new people). Additionally, this is a wall of text. The actual comic pages will likely take less time.

I think that Dutch readers will be more than happy enough to be able to read in Dutch.
You wouldn't read the Dutch version if you could understand English, except to see how it was translated.
The new readers caught by this project will not know the original, and will therefore not give comments.

And we will make translation errors, since we will not know how certain events will play out in the end, and that might be very important for the translation (e.g. the visions regarding the death of Forgath).
There, a slight change in the order of the words might make all the difference.

So, just go, is my opinion.
Otherwise you'll wait MONTHS to validate one page, to be sure you got all comments.
And you will still get comments from those who read the English version before.
Why? You either lost a joke in translation because you kept true to the first meaning (and thus lost the double-meaning), or you lost the true wording by "free translating" to recreate the joke in Dutch.

So, choose which way you will go. Purists of either side will always find a reason to complain.


Do the translation with all due care, but do not dwell too long on a proposal.
Get the approval of the core members of the translation team, and then move on.

Furthermore: I'm sure changing the words if better proposals can be found and are agreed by a majority is less of a problem than never "finishing" a page.
If you don't get to finish a few pages for the start, someone interested in helping might just notice that you've been discussing forever without making results, and might therefore be deterred from helping you.
You're now with nearly 300 posts in this thread, yet no page has been published. Someone like me would not start helping, since I just see a tremendously large thread without results. I would not be willing to browse the complete thread to be sure I don't make proposals which have already been refused.

Also: once you get going, make separate threads for either each page or each chapter. That way you keep the amount of "read-through" short for those coming late to the project.

Proposal: make yourself stand out from the German team. Translate each chapter in one go and in one thread. Claim that this improves quality of the translation, since any text spanning pages is discussed in a single thread and in one go instead of being spread over multiple threads. (Just a proposal. Flame me for it if you don't like it!)

Spoiler: hide
If you haven't got an artist yet: I'm sure that if your translation proposals are prepared, an artist of the other teams might be willing to do them in one go. He has the images prepared anyway, and understanding the language is of secondary interest to the artist. He "just" needs to copy-paste the text into the image. And doing that for two languages on one page is likely to be less work than doing two pages for one language.

Here you go, my attempt at making a first page:

Spoiler: hide
Welkom!
Je staat aan het begin van de webstrip ÔÇ£GoblinsÔÇØ, maar voordat je begint te lezen, eerst even dit:

Zowel als tekenaar als als schrijver leer ik voortdurend bij. Dat was vroeger zo en hopelijk zal het altijd zo blijven. Moest het moment ooit komen waarop ik het gevoel krijg dat ik op geen van beide vlakken nog kan groeien, dan zou ik iets anders gaan doen. Door mijzelf voortdurend uit te dagen om te streven naar verbetering, zijn mijn schrijf- en tekenstijl steeds meer veranderd. Voor mijn trouwe lezers was die verandering geleidelijk, maar als je hier nog maar net bent aangekomen, waarschijnlijk nadat je de laatste paginaÔÇÖs hebt gezien en toen hebt beslist om van in het begin te beginnen lezen, dan zou de overgang wel eens erg bruusk kunnen zijn. Laat ons samen door de zure appel heen bijten, ok? Ik beloof dat het wel zal meevallen.

Groot-Oor in 2001 (vier jaar voordat de comic online verscheen)
Groot-Oor in 2009

Dat was het. Hopelijk is de kans nu kleiner dat je van de meest recente paginaÔÇÖs bij de eerste aankomt en denkt dat je per vergissing de verkeerde strip hebt aangeklikt.

Ook al ben ik erg trots op wat ik door de jaren op artistiek vlak heb bereikt, toch zullen die eerste paginaÔÇÖs mij altijd nauw aan het hart blijven liggen en daarom ben ik niet van plan ze ooit te vervangen (voor de gedrukte versie zijn ze wel ingekleurd en herletterd).

Veel plezier bij het lezen van Goblins, een project dat begon als mijn strip, maar dat sindsdien is gaan aanvoelen als onze strip: niet enkel van mij, maar ook van alle lezers die er net zo veel van zijn gaan houden als ikzelf.

Zowel als tekenaar en als schrijver leer ik voortduren bij. Dat was vroeger al zo, en zal hopelijk altijd zo blijven.

Krulle, I appreciate your enthousiasm, but your non-nativeness shows. It sounds very unnatural and contains a lot of typo's.

@Narie:
Spoiler: hide
- I left off "bij Goblins" on purpose because I already had it in the first sentence and it felt like repeating myself too much. Don't mind putting it back, but I like it better without
- Moest/Mocht: I don't really care, they're both good
- zal/zou: I disagree, this is a hypothetical sentence, so it really should be "zou". Both "mocht" and "moest" set up a construction that's uncertain, not an actual prediction of the future.
- zal meevallen/mee zal vallen: well, they're both correct, so this is purely a matter of preference. There are some loose guidelines in grammar books about wanting to stress the separate part (as in "het is zeker dat de Groenen tegen zullen stemmen" as opposed to "we denken dat de Groenen zullen tegenstemmen") and how strongly the splittable part belongs to the rest of the verb, but it really boils down to preference. I would suggest seeing what the majority of people likes best and going with that.
- "comic": yeah, no idea how that managed to slip by me, of course we should be consistent. Strip and comic are both fine, I picked strip because I'm more familiar with the word in a dutch context.
- verkeerde/andere: I went with "verkeerde" in the meaning of "not getting the comic you intended to click on", so you might think you mis-clicked. "Andere" feels like the original would've said "another comic" rather than "a different comic". We don't really have a word in dutch that has the correct translation for "different" imo. I don't mind using "andere", it's just not what I was trying to express.

Thanks for the feedback!

We had the vorpal discussion in the main thread, before we splitted (split?) them up, we should have added the origin here too, but we apparently forgot. But most of us are aware of it



I see what you're saying, I hadn't paid attention to the resulting word's meaning. Still, it was not as bad a suggestion as my very first idea: combining "grossartig" with "in die Knie zwingen": Der Grosskniezwinger! (and no, that's not a suggestion, but picturing what such a thing might look like is funny)

I suggest/support:
the crossroads of eternal doom ---- die Kreuzung der ewigen Verdammnis
stats ----------------------------------- Attribute
feats ---------------------------------- Fähigkeiten
skills ---------------------------------- Talente
fiend folio ---------------------------- Dämonen Almanach

('/' means 'voting for not translating that name')
Senor Vorpal KickassÔÇÖo ------- ???
Sticks -------------------------- /
Boulder ------------------------ /
Targot Bladebeard ----------- /
Kore --------------------------- /
Crunk ------------------------- /
Thaco ------------------------- /
Taps ---------------------------Taster
Asks Nonsense--------------- Fragt Schwachsinn

About SVK: while it is true that we don't have to translate the "kick ass" part of his name literally, we would lose the joke when Chief calls him Senor Vorpal Ass'o here. It's no big deal, though, we can either find a workaround with the new name, or we just lose that joke. It's not particuarly funny to start with, anyway.
So how about we call him "Großmächtiger Kampfmeister/Meisterkrieger" or "Meister Vorpal, der Mächtige" (we could work the joke with Chief calling him "der Schmächtige" instead) or something?

I like the word Almanach since i first heared it in Back to the future.

But i do not agree on skills = Talente and feats = Fähigkeiten.

Normaly it is: Skills = Fähigkeiten in most games and dictionarys i know. Often Talente and Fähigkeiten are used for the same thing. These are normaly active.
Feat, short for feature, is normaly translated with Eigenschaft, Merkmal. This things are often passive (like a bonus on a skill or attribute), that is why i think Fähigkeiten does not fit. (http://dnd4.wikia.com/wiki/Feats)

So i suggest:

feats ---------------------------------- Eigenschaften
skills ---------------------------------- Fähigkeiten

Senor Vorpal der spitzen(-mäßige) Überkrieger



Meister Vorpal der Überkrieger is a good start for word games.

Meister Vorpal der Übelkrieger (fitting to the sick joke from Forgath) or Meister Vorpal Übel/Meister Vorpal Kriecher (fitting to the ass'o joke from Chief).

Not knowing anything about the german language, nor having applied any input to your translation project, I've still been reading through your threads out of curiosity if nothing else. Hopefully a post from someone not involved in the project doesn't step on any toes, but I felt compelled to post these thoughts:

I'm sure you all know that the Fiend Folio is a book's name, so unless Dämonen Almanach (which sounds hella awesome phonetically btw) is what the german translation of that book is called, i wouldn't suggest changing it. The comic has always been aimed more towards D&D readers, so keeping the title of that book synonymous with its German equivalent would be most beneficial.

If the Fiend Folio wasn't released in other languages, using Monster Manual as a substitute could suffice, (especially if you listed Monster Manual II or III, since the monsters in the comic speak of the book as if its a bit of an obscure reference)

And scrolling through, I saw all the discussion and debate about which words of "Senor Vorpal Kickass'o" should be translated, and even though a lot of these points have been brought up before, here's my take on it:
Se├▒or - a real word already translated into another language. no need to re-translate.
Vorpal - a gibberish word, with no real definition, from a widely known poem, whose use has been adapted to D&D terms. no need to translate gibberish.
Kickass'o - english slang, highly used, and since a movie came out recently named "Kick-ass," I'm hoping enough german readers would know this particular term for it not to need to be translated.

German Jabberwocky poem, keeping Vorpal intact (I apologize in advance if this translation of the poem sucks. the only words in it I know are the Carroll gibberish)
German Kick-ass poster, for no real reason

Not translating Senor Vorpal Kickass'o by now feels a bit like not picking up a gauntlet

There just has to be some witty, on first glance badass sounding but in reality total uncool translation we can use in all those wordgames

And I really have no idea whether the 'Fiend folio' has ever been printed in Germany (or what the German title would be). 'Monsters manual' just isn't the same.
That'S why I was asking, I hoped somebody here would know, it's pretty difficult to find a book if you don't know the title.

I am pretty sure the official german DnD term for feats is Talente. I only have the english rulebooks myself, but a friend who plays with german books, keeps confusing me with these terms.
And I think skills are Fertigkeiten. But I am not so sure about that one.

Well, for DSA ("Das schwarze Auge") - which to my limited knowledge is a bit more common among German role players than D&D - skills are translated as Talente and (combat) feats are translated as (Kampf-)Sonderfertigkeiten. But I'm not going to try and go against the majority.

It's not like there where no suggestions...we are running in circles about this topic.

(Meister/Herr/Senor) (Vorpal/Letal/T├Âdlich) (Arschversohler/├£berkrieger/Todesarschtritt/...)

I still like

Herr or Meister Vorpal Arschversohler. That can be used in all the wordplays:
Chief "Senor Ass" => "Herr Arsch" or "Meister Arsch"
Forgath "Senor sick ass..." "Meister Knorpelarsch" or "Herr Übel(arsch)". I think Vorpal sounds close enough to übel. But i fell really in love with the funny therm "Meister Knorpelarsch".

I also noticed that the more modern abreviation IMBA (for imbalanced, being overpowered) is the heart of what Vorpal ment in the old days the poem was written in which it was invented.

So i think
Herr or Meister Imba Arschversohler would also work, even if Vorpal works better:
Chief "Senor Ass" => "Herr Arsch" or "Meister Arsch" or "Meister Dingsda Arsch"
Forgath "Senor sick ass..." => "Meister im Barsch" "Herrin Barschversohler"

But i prefer the upper suggestion. Thats why i made it bold.

@D&D skils and feats: if that is the official translation we should stick to it. I only got one english D&D book, the translations i suggested came from other games.

Yes, lets start to voting. Since we agree on most names, i would start with a yes/no vote for all those we all nearly agreed on, and then maybe start a seperate vote for the names we discussed very much about like "Big ears" and "Senor Vorpal Kickasso", giving multiple options.

Like that:

VOTE A (choose yes/no on this list):
Chief - Häuptling
MinMax - MinMax
Forgath - Forgath
Thaco - Thaco
Tumbles - Patzer
...

VOTE B (chose one):
Senor Vorpal Arschversohler
Senor Vorpal der Überkrieger
...

VOTE C (chose one):
Schlappohr
Großohr
Riesenohr
...

This list only contains the debated names, I removed the names we were unanimous on (=bei denen wir uns einig waren) along the way.

Let's not vote again on all the names we already selected by democratic vote, okay?

You are right, we still need to find a consensus for SVK.

Maybe we should cut down the Vorpal list first by voting, which names we wont use on any circumstances Like any name that gets more than 3 votes is out of the list.



This thing looks a bit hopeless...

I was (and am) too lazy to go through the thread.

Thanks for pointing my erroneous ways out to me.



Okay: my vote (in order of choice)
33: Senor Vorpal Trittarsch'o (I still like that. Kickass'o also doesn't say "kicks ass".)
31: Senor Vorpal Kickass'o
3: Senor Vorpal der Überkrieger


But by now I don't like my vote for 13 anymore.

I am not shure why we discussed so much about it to throw it away now. Did we not have narrowed it down to like 3-5 suggestions which are good for wordplay? Why such a long list now?

first choice: 20., 22. or 27. Herr Letal Arschversohler or Meister Vorpal Arschversohler or Meister T├Âtlich Arschversohler (They are so close I do not care. But not Herr Vorpal Arschversohler, don't like that variant)
second choice: 3. or 15. Meister/Senor Vorpal der Überkrieger
third choice: 34. Senor Vorpal Arschtritt'o (I would turn the end around that way instead of Trittarsch'o)

Introduction
The (German) GoblinsComic Translation Project (GTP) was initiated by GathersIngredients on 25 January 2012.
See the first link below to see how it all began.

GTP Links

German GoblinsComic Translation Project - GTP ÔÇö all important updates, tech and general discussion
GTP - Result Presentation ÔÇö The source files and the finished comic pages for your reading pleasure! Editing only be Nerre
GTP - transcriptions/translations ÔÇö unmoderated outbursts of creativity go here
GTP - Page Discussion ÔÇö moderated discussion and finalizing of translated comic pages {this thread!}
GTP - Name Discussion ÔÇö discussion and finalizing of name translations
GTP - Spreadsheet ÔÇö the project members, name translations and resource links


GTP - Page Discussion
In this thread, I (SharesLoot) will post a link to the page we are going to be working on, the transcript of the comic page text, all existing translation suggestions, and my own or preferred version. In the "voting round", we will see if we can reach a consensus (at least 50% in favor of the current state). Else, we discuss and improve the suggestion. Once the translation has been approved, we will pass it on to the tech team (i.e. the eager users of Inkscape and HTML gurus) for processing.
If the whole process proves to be too slow, I will tweak it.

For the sake of getting started, we will skip the intro page describing the evolution of the comic's art and get to work on the first comic page. Once we get to the colored pages, the first "evolutionary step", we can go back to the introduction page. By then, we will hopefully have practiced the approval process enough to deal with and approve the amount of text the intro contains

Updates to this post
2012-03-16: Finally updated the Table of Contents, modified the Links section, simplified the page discussion process section, and removed three unnecessary rules.
2012-05-08: Since we have a subforum now, GathersIngredients and SharesLoot are Moderators, and Wolfie's Forum Rules have become official, our own extra "rules" have become obsolete and I removed them.

Nerre, we already have 7 suggestions for the Paladin Handbook text! Look at post #2 again. We all suggested either "Paladinregel" or "Faustregel". As I said in the general discussion thread:

You can start improving the "Translation" part right away, but please give reasons for your edited posts.

You are not supposed to redo the whole thing, just make improvement suggestions.

That aside, I like the "WAHH!" you used in image 8, but I'd spell it "WAAH!"

I think this sounds a bit better:

-3- Goblin: Ich kriege seine Handschuhe!
-5- Book Title: Handbuch des Paladins
-6- Ich wäre für 'Faustregel', weil Paladin ja schon außen auf dem Buch steht und Paladinregel so künstlich klingt

SharesLoot, can you add a boldfaced spoiler warning to the first post in this thread? Then we don't have to use spoiler tags in every posting (which is a bit inconvenient when all you want is a quick scan for a specific phrase).

+1 on "ich will seine Handschuhe".

-1 on "Regeln des Paladins" - that's just wrong, it's not rules by a a single paladin, it's rules for paladins.
-1 on "mach dein Testament". Too long IMHO.
I'd like to preserve the structure of the original senctence, a somewhat longish description of the situation and an ultra-short advice. I have a feeling that that contributes to the hilarity.
I'd also drop "Schergen", it's too uncommon.
This gives me "Melden die B├Âsen Anspr├╝che auf deine Sachen an, bete oder renn." (Second part doesn't entirely fit the bill.)

Some more suggestions/opinions:

-2- How about "Hoffentlich hab ich sie abgehängt" ? Though moving a bit from the original text, the "hoffentlich" catches the meaning of uncertainty the "I think" part expresses, nicely.

-4- I think the "SONST h├Ârt er uns" does express the "OR he'll hear us" best. And though "Leise" stays very close to the original "Quiet", I think "Klappe" works best here. Alternately we could use "Schnauze", but I don't know how common this expression is outside Austria...

-6- We could use "B├Âsewichte" for "minions of evil". I agree that "Schergen" is a rather old sounding not very commonly used word.

-8- +1 for WAAAH!

Actually, you don't have to use spoilers, it's just a suggestion to save space and make reading the long posts quicker whenever you are not actually working on the translations but just checking to see what the others think/say.

Worst_Case wrote:-6- Ich wäre für 'Faustregel', weil Paladin ja schon außen auf dem Buch steht und Paladinregel so künstlich klingt

Agreed, Faustregel already seemed to be the favorite when we initially discussed this.

elvors wrote:+1 on "ich will seine Handschuhe"

-1 on "Regeln des Paladins" - that's just wrong, it's not rules by a a single paladin, it's rules for paladins.

Agreed on both counts. Let's leave it at "Handbuch f├╝r Paladine"

elvors wrote:I'd also drop "Schergen", it's too uncommon.

We can also take "Diener" or "Lakai", but remember, we are talking about the class with a self-inflatable broomstick up their ass - they see the world in black and white and need strong words to describe evil... "minions of evil" sounds really evil, "die B├Âsen" doesn't.

-2- Paladin: Hoffentlich hab' ich sie abgehängt... (let's end this on '...')
-6- Buch: Wenn die Diener des B├Âsen bereits Anspruch auf Deine Ausr├╝stung erheben: Bete oder lauf!
(Instead of 'Diener' we could use 'Schergen' or 'Knechte as well, I personally like 'Schergen' best, 'cause it really sounds old and formal just like something directly out of a book for paladins, which probably has been reprinted for 400 years without a single letter being edited.)

"..." is not bad in itself, but here, he says "huff" "huff" afterwards, so he doesn't actually let his voice trail off. Thunt uses little punctuation in the comic, a second reason not to overdo it.

I like "Schergen" too, and it fits in well with "Anspruch [...] erheben", since that is formal/old-fashioned as well.

You were the one that suggested a longer second part, now you shortened it yourself! What do you (and others) think of ", musst du beten oder fliehen"? It's not too long, and still short advice, but it's not so odd/too short in German. I was aiming for a compromise.

Yeah, I know I wrote that about the second part of the sentence being too short, but well it's just I'm not overly happy with any of the translations for that so far, including my own suggestions 'bete oder lauf' is still the best one we have, I guess
It has the merit, that it is extremely short and direct in comparison to the overly pompous first part, after all.
(what I'm trying to say: No, I don't have any better ideas )

how about "flüchte" (catches the retreat aspect of "run" a bit better then just "lauf") and/or "schließ mit deinem Leben ab" (for expressing the "your life is about to expire" aspect, I like "mach dein Testament" a bit better than this new suggestions, but it didn't seem to sit well with the rest of you)
We could also use "hoff auf ein Wunder" but that is quite a stretch to the orginal "pray"...

That is why i suggested "flieh". "Flieh" matches the meaning of running away from a threat much better than "lauf". "Lauf" can be used in totally harmless situations, z.B: sport, being late on something or exited to get somewhere. I would translate "pray" at the moment with the much longer therm "oder sprich ein letztes Gebet", which means "say one last prayer" or "mach deinen Frieden mit Gott". Fits to the situation perfectly.

Another idea would be further away from the original: "flieh oder mach dein Testament.". It's as far away from the original as "hoff auf ein Wunder" is. But both are very "sense catcher" (don't know a word for that).

Das "lauf" w├╝rde ich echt durch "flieh" ersetzen. Ansonsten finde ich es gut.

"geh auf die knie oder fliehe"

I agree with all of you that we haven't found a perfectly lovely solution yet.

Still no comment on why my suggestion "musst du beten oder fliehen" isn't popular, I will just attribute it to your "Sprachgef├╝hl" - that totally okay.

So - in line with your suggestions - are you all happy with "Wenn die Schergen des B├Âsen bereits Anspr├╝che auf deine Ausr├╝stung anmelden, bete oder flieh!"?

Nope, I think we agreed on the 'Wunder'-addition so it would be: "flieh' oder bete f├╝r ein Wunder!"

Even though I personally like 'lauf' better than flieh' (but that's just my personal taste).

(And well the 'musst Du' just doesn't fit in somehow, as you said it's more 'belly-feeling' than something I could explain.)

i would be happy with it, but i think the "flieh oder bete f├╝r ein Wunder" would be funnier.

Hinter "abgehängt" in -2- fehlt noch ein Satzzeichen, ich schlage ein ! oder . vor.

-2- Paladin: Hoffentlich hab ich sie abgehängt.
-4- Goblin: Klappe! Sonst h├Ârt er uns noch! (or would the sentence get too long with that?)
-5- SFX: -blätter- -raschel- (two different words look a bit more interesting than a single one)
-6- Book: Faustregel 38: Wenn die Schergen des B├Âsen bereits Anspr├╝che auf deine Ausr├╝stung erheben, flieh oder bete f├╝r ein Wunder!
(sounds even more formally)

After rereading our translation, those are the last suggestions for changes I have. They aren't necessary I guess (aside from the '.' in -1- , some punctuation is needed there.)

-2- I agree on the punctuation. I was following Thunt's initial punctuation rules here, but he soon began adding full stops at the end of sentences consistently.
-4- Yes, the "noch" would make it too long.
-5- "blätter" is not a sound, IMO. This is just SFX, and the sound if you "blätter" is "raschel" - you are right, though, this is not completely consistent with the translation of "huff" "huff" with "japs" "keuch". Still, I would differentiate between the noises the paladin utters and the sound that the leaves of the book made.
-6- You are right, "erheben" is better. I also changed the exclamation mark to a full stop, as in the English version. No need for the book to shout.

I revised the text in the voting post to reflect our changes.

-6- i totally disagree on "Anspruch erheben". That is something you do officially and loud, like a state claiming some land. "Anspruch anmelden" can be inofficial or silent, like only pointing on something and then on yourself. You use "erheben" more if you do it towards the owner of the object or towards a third party, while i think you do use "anmelden" more if you want to split up objects or allocate an object and are in the group of people you are in and in which everybody could "call dibs".

I thing "erheben" would carry another meaning than "anmelden", so let's stick to "anmelden".

Congratulations, Shares.

Also, since we were 7 to begin with, and while some new persons came to help with this project, some others became inactive, (and no one else seems to have too much to say on this characters name for quite some time now) I'd say we stick with "Meister Vorpal Kickass'o".
(Meister can also be used in the play of word parts to mishear "Feister" instead. )


I tried to look at the names sheet (also, in order to fixate the "Meister Vorpal Kickass'o"), but it just kept on loading for forever and never actually showing the list. Is there something wrong with it, perhaps?

If you're talking about the spreadsheet in the first post, that works just fine for me (using firefox).

Also congratulations, Shares, and welcome to the jeepers creepers club

Well, I do prefer "Senor Vorpal Kickass'o" over "Meister Vorpal Kickass'o".
I prefer "Senor Vorpal Trittarsch'o" even more, but I do seem to be outvoted.

Congrats, Shares. Maybe I should post my transcriptions as one-per-post instead of clumping them together into MEGA-posts....

But, as you said, who cares about post-counts?

I have reached the point where Fox & co enter the well of darkness with my first draft translations. Has anyone a good suggestion for how we could translate "Noe" (the guy that answers 3 questions if summoned and then kills the summoner at the 4th time)?
Is "Noe" even a real name somewhere?

Of course

"Noe" is the French word for "Noah". However, I'd give him a different but similar name that allows the play on words that "noe" allows. The problem is the lack of silent letters in German.

Ideas:
Nain
Neh
Ein

The important texts:
- Ich heiße.... Nain!

- Nain?
- Bist du dumm? Sag' nicht seinen Namen!

- Mist, wir sind erledigt.
- Wieso denn? Wir d├╝rfen nur das N-Wort nicht benutzen.

- Hast du eine Ahnung, wie schwer es sein wird, das Wort nicht zu sagen?
- Naja, N...

- Gar nicht.
- Wir gehen drauf!

- Nein, tun wir nicht. Ich...
FA-WHUMP

- Die Show ist vorbei, K'sellis. Ich winde mich nicht, und ich sage das doofe "Nein"-Wort nicht...

Es ist weniger lustig als "no" und "know", aber es funktioniert. Im deutschen Text ist es ihm dann halt rausgerutscht, im Original lag es an den stummen Buchstaben "k" und "w". Passt doch, oder?
[It's less hilarious than "no" and "know", but it works. In German, he says the word by accident, while in the original, the silent letters "k" and "w" are to blame. It's OK, right?]

We could use "Kain", that's a real name, I think. And we could try to make the dialogue so that he answers to "kein" as well.

BTW, I am very happy that I got some responses. I was half afraid that no one really cared for the translation anymore. I know Krulle keeps the transcriptions up to date - thanks a lot for that, BTW - but I didn't know if you/he was interested in doing anything else.
Do you think it would make sense to open some new page discussion threads?

Kain is a biblical (and thus a real) name, but not really German. But neither is Noe very English.

But the translations don't work with Kain. I tried make the wordplays without making the text sound forced, when I replied above.


But, I just Wikipedia'd Nain: it is an Indian first name (e.g. Nain Singh, see also meaning of name Nain (it's also biblical)).

Even easier to use.

BTW: I hate the autocorrect of this IPad i've leant, it's language is set to German, and nearly all words get corrected to unintellegible somethings. With the extra Keyboard ist Works, but typing on Display is horrible, many words get capitalised, without any Apparat reason. This and the prezi├Âs Sentenzen i did not de-vorreckt the autocorrect Funktion. And n├Â, you can't Switch Off autocorrect.

Danish Goblins Project!

Postby Durontia ┬╗ Mon Apr 30, 2012 10:21 am
I've been a long time reader, sine before the Goblins even got NEAR Brassmoon (or you could say, before Thaco went underground(sewers...)), and I've been doing my best to spread the word about this funderful and wintastic comic to my fellow Danes. Unfortunately, some of my friends aren't that skilled in English, so I would like to start translating the comic into DANISH!! SO, I have finally moved out of the murky sub-space of the forum-lurkers, and actually joined this nice community!

Having never takin' on this kind of project before, I would like some guidance on this matter. How should I go about translating? Gather a task-force? How to I get the empty templates from the comic, and what font should I use? Stuff like that.

So yeah, I'd like some pointers, so I can begin translating Goblins to Danish. A language few people understand.

The germans are furthest along and have offered to let us use their transcriptions/page overlays. They also have a very handy excel-sheet with a list of names that you can start with.

Welcome to the translation madness, I hope you get help soon.

If you mean whom you should contact to get your task force together: preferably persons who speak Danish and English well enough. Can't help you with that.

If you want to know where most of the useful info/stuff can be found look here.

Good luck with your project.

Hopefully, the similarities between German, Dutch, Danish (and even English), will make this easier. Any questions about making sure we understand the source sufficiently to make a translation that the other translation projects have ('Is this a noun, or a verb?', 'Should meaning X or Y dominate?' etc. ) and the answers to them, would also be relevant for this one.

Feel free to enlist me for help once you get things going, I've got a fine grasp on the English language and have lived in Denmark all my life.

I'll also try to get the Dane who told me about the Comic to join in here if it really gets going.

GTP: request for clean pages

Postby Nerre ┬╗ Wed Jun 13, 2012 10:58 am
I thought about asking Thunt if he got clean pages of the comic from the date on he started to create the text with a computer. If he could provide such pictures, he would talk a huge load of work from our shoulders, and the only things we had to do are adding the text and changing special picture like text panels like "Crossroad of eternal Doom".

What do you think about that?

If we should try it: anybody got a hot wire to him? He did not answer on one of the PMs I send to him since I joined this forum.

I wonder how our russian friend does get rid of the original text. It looks like he uses graphic programms to manipulation the pictures directly, and not create an overlay like we are doing it.

I am sure, that most teams are taking the easiest way and simply modify the original page.
We decided against, since we don't get copyright issues that way. We don't modify the originaly. We still show them, but put an overlay with the changes over the original.

We'll see if Thunt ever gets around to modifying his homepage to show translated versions. That would be cool.
I can imagine that that change could be done rather easily to his pages, since he has all in place, just depending on the language, the correct image/overlay would need to be chosen.

Well, we translate for our own satisfaction, and we will have to see how we can give access to our products while not drawing revenue away from THunt and yet being easily accessible for the non-forum goers of comics.

I'd leave Thunt out of it. Even if he had the originals, preparing them for us would take quite a bit of time which he doesn't have. He can't just send the raw images to us. Even if he had the images without text in electronic form, he would have to compress them etc. to make sure we don't have files in a quality where we could abuse them (e.g. print and sell them etc.)

I vote strongly in favor of leaving Thunt alone until we have something to offer him instead of asking for something. A comicpress page with 100 finished pages and bilingual transcripts would be something worth showing off, for example

Krulle, our more complicated approach might have a huge advantage in the long run if the German comic ever went to print: We would need larger source images with higher quality, and the SVG files we create are freely scalable.

My 0.02 dollars.

I agree on leaving Thunt alone. We wanted to help him (and native German readers) with this idea, not cause him additional workload.

So, there are even more advantages to our system
Scaleability - Yay!

Indeed, if Thunt offers us his raw images (if he still has them, which might not be the case), it's nice of him, but I personally would not ask actively for them.

Yes and not. Some things will be messy when we scale it, for example my work around on Forgath bears in...page 9?
I had to work with what Inkscape offers without using parts of the original comic except for the colors. It would have been easier to edit this part with pixel manipulation, but I stayed with vector graphics. But if you zoom in into his beared very much, you will see the monocolored bars I used to draw the missing parts.

There's no real reason to put this here, except to show that there have been previous discussions about asking for "blank" pages from THunt....

I'll pray to my god and ask him to make sure that this adventure is challenging enough to offer us some serious XP.

Thanks, Shares, I edited most of your changes in. I skipped the bit about the the [oder auch: "die Pommes frittierst"/"das Bier zapfst"], because "Frittenbude" and "frittierst" seems a bit redundant to me. And in most Frittenbuden I know (mainly the big golden M or the BK), while you can get beer, it is not getting drwan, but sold in cans or something.

Okay, I'd have never dreamed of calling American fast food chains Frittenbuden, so I thought you were talking of the kind we have at hardware stores (Baumärkte)...

Well, I thought of them, but there is no nice German term for it.
So I took it as a reference for the Baumarkt-Frittenbude too.

Other proposals:
-4- Forgath: Oh einzigartiger Herbert, der Du immer noch im Hotel Mama wohnst und...
...in der Burgerbude die Fritten salzt!
...in der D├Ânerbude die Teller w├ñscht!
...im Supermarkt die Regale f├╝llst!
...im Bahnhof die Toiletten putzt!
...in der Imbissbude die Currywurst serviert.

In Germany these are among the "lowest life form in work life" by recognition of the work done (and payment received)....

Don't dwell too long for a decision, the intention is clear and well understood by the reader.

[Edit]removed the hyphen in Curry-Wurst on a specific request by someone willing to go lengths to ensure that I remove it.[/Edit]

Oh, you're talking about some sort of "Imbissbude" or "Kiosk"? Sorry, I didn't get that.
In Austria in most of the "Baumärkte" there is nothing that serves burgers or such. In some are bakeries with the possibility to drink coffee there, too, and in others there are booths where they sell local specialties (like homemade cookies and "Bauernkrapfen", bread, air-seasoned bacon and garlic sausages and mountain cheese and all such stuff).

Ah, I had no idea you were from the land of music and pretty princesses

Yes, mobile or stationary "Imbissbuden" are becoming a common sight when you go to a Baumarkt (hardware store) in Germany. They must have found out recently that both construction workers and Heimwerker like beer, french fries and sausages or whole roasted chicken

Krulle, the one with the Currywurst is pure genius! I took the liberty of editing it in with a minor change from "servierst" to "kleinschneidest".

That is something I have witnessed in Germany with a bit of puzzlement, that the Currywurst is a "normal" saussage that gets spiced after being cut in pieces. I thought it would be a special kind of saussage with the curry already inside.


The whole thing looks pretty good to me alltogether. Any more suggestions or things that need to be changed?

Nope, not from my point of view.
Glad you like the Currywurst.
I like it too.
In Germany, they recently got a cult-status again. After the Currybuden have nearly been wiped out by all the D├Ânerbuden/Gyrosst├ñnde..... Newest twist is to have the "hottest" Currywurst... So "hot" that you need to sign a waiver if you choose about a certain level.
Not my thing. I want to taste my meal, and not permanently burn my taste buds away.

[Edit]I've been beaten with a stick. I did nothing. Sharesloot went to the lower dungeons of Brassmoon City to retrieve the Finger of Hell and showed me the device. I did what he asked before he could tell me how it would be applied to a Human like me.[/Edit]

As I already wrote in the transcription thread, I really don't think this fits, because they are not going into the goblin camp while they are on their adventure, nor stumble upon it either. They only learn the location of it, and have to go there afterwards.

I edited the other suggestions in. Thank you for them.

(Was haltet ihr davon? "Bevor wir rausfinden" h├Ârt sich an als h├ñtte das "rausfinden" nichts weiter mit dem Abenteuer zu tun als das es chronologisch danach geschieht. Im Englischen ist da aber ein Kausalzusammenhang nach dem Motto: "Wenn ihr euch bewiesen habt, bekommt ihr die Position". Alternativ w├ñre auch noch das denkbar, n├ñher an Worth Idee aber auch etwas l├ñnger:

I send Shares a much better option, especially since she messed up with the original rule (which was the first half from one word and then the second half from the other word, not the second half from one word and then the first half from the other word).

Something like
"Ich habe pepp."
"und du bist <irgendwas mit de, z.b. 'der Wahnsinn' oder 'der hit' oder 'deklassierend'>"
It resulted in "Genau, ich bin ein Depp!".

Okay...
You think I messed up a rule?
Did you think about the fact that there is no rule yet? After all, we did not translate the pages before that. This challenge was just for fun. I prefer changing the system to using words that don't fit.

Anyway, here you go. The suggestion you PM'd me:

Nerre wrote:Er sagt sowas wie "Ich habe eben Pepp!" und Sie sagt dann irgendwas lobenswertes was mit DE anfängt. Es gibt aber nicht soviel positives mit DE, das meiste ist eher negativ wegen der de- Vorsilbe.
Vielleicht
DEr Wahnsinn
defendierend" (verteidigend, wobei daß aber eher auf Rede/Diskussionen bezogen ist glaube ich)
etwas mit "Deichseln" oder "Dezent"
oder...
JA!
Das beste Wort das ich in der Liste bisher fand:
Deklassierend. Das passt gut weil er ja viel besser als andere sein will. Wobei ich über das Wort (genauso wie das Englische adorable) denke, daß das Wort zu lang für ihn ist um es zu kapieren. "Hey, I trade my ability to understand words longer than 7 letters for +1 ATK. What was your name, Shares-what?"

Damit käme man sehr einfach auf Depp.


"Ich habe einfach Pepp!"
"Du bist deklassierend." (oder so ähnlich)
"Das stimmt!" "Ein Depp!"
"Warte."
"Ohhh, sehr gut."
"Danke."

There is a new list of names, that need a translation in the name discussion thread. So far I only got a feedback by Gathers.
I still need votes or suggestions by Shares, Krulle and Nerre (and anybody else who wants to give it a try).

GTP - Website

Postby SharesLoot ┬╗ Fri May 18, 2012 7:37 am
On Wednesday evening, I registered two free domains for the GTP!
germangoblins.co.cc
ggtp.co.cc

I also got us 1500 MB of free webspace (100GB bandwidth), including ftp access, 2 SQL databases, cronjobs, 5x webmail...

Then I spent the better part of Thursday trying to set up a wordpress website with comicpress.
I learned a lot, but comicpress is a heck of a hassle to get into. I am close to getting it up and running, but it will take some more learning before I'm happy.
The still empty (and ugly) page can be accessed here: germangoblins.co.cc

Now I am torn between two options:
1. Create a website with static HTML pages like we originally planned with overlays
2. Use ComicPress to make it more of a community site where several of us can edit, all can post comments, there is a blog for updates etc... - but we would have to use merged images!

The static HTML page could look similar to this demo page by SolarGranulation (but maybe a little bit shinier): http://lapisnetworking.co.uk/NonLapis/g ... 50625.html
I would write a small HTML generating program so we wouldn't need to edit each page from within the code. It would probably be less work than using comicpress.

What do you think?

But maybe you should put in an 'under construction' disclaimer for the time being? Else people may think the page is broken and never visit again.

Yup - you don't need to build it, Worst! The question is: do you want a dynamic layout, or one like this? If you don't care either way, that's fine.
Stating an opinion is better than posting to say you can't help, though

About the under construction disclaimer: Actually, no one knows that site yet - the only link to it is here. It will also not turn up on google, for now.
I will add one, though, if you wish.

It would definately be nice if people could leave comments, so my vote would be for a more dynamic layout, but honestly I'll be more than glad if the page just works - that'd be probably more than any website I could put up, at least atm.

I vote for whatever makes less work and/or works better/more reliable without needing too much maintenance.
If you want some place to discuss/comment on the comics, you might as well link them to this forum here and ask THunt/Moose for a German subforum, once the comic's translation is online.

I'm fine with both way. Merges is the more stable version, since we will still have the pictures if Thunts side is down for a moment or blocks our access. Some websites block having their images linked elsewhere if there are too many views.

On the other hand, did'nt we say something about not copying Thunts comics on our website? I don't think it is a problem as long we don't make money, but I just want to repeat the thought we had once.

By the way: You can give me the FTP access infos, then I can upload the comics directly to the website instead of mine in the future. Also I can take a look at the webterminal if you want. So far I managed to get all php tools I used running in the end.

One very important question:

Should I change the font of the pages done so far to the original font of the comic which Speaks (the russian translator) gave us a link for? I would have used it from the beginning, but I was not able to find it. But now we have it, I really would try to use it and check out if it fits as well as Comic Sans we used so far.

I do not mind. Didn't Thunt change to the new font when he went full colour?

I don't mind when we use the new font from beginning.
Don't change it yet, keep it as a pet project open, so that when the translation takes long, and no finalized pages are in the pipeline, and you WANT to do s.th, you can edit the first pages to the new font.

Well, if you have the right font, you might as well use it.

But I rather would have the WHOLE translation in the same font. So either, you would have to edit all the (10?) page you have done so far once more (and the one with the Crossroads of doom, which you said was rather elaborate to do, iirc, was among them ), OR you would have to stick with the font you already were using for the rest of the project.

I am fine either way, but the longer you wait, the more editing of "finished" pages you will have to do.

My idea: We can keep Comic Sans MS until we reach the colored pages.

Thunt began the comic with handwritten lettering and in black and white. We will soon reach the pages that are lettered on the computer (very soon: http://www.goblinscomic.com/07152005/) and colored (here, right after the first encounter with not-walter is over). Either point would be a good time for the transition to a more "serious" font.

If you have a lot of spare time and energy, you can convert the old pages, I don't mind. just make sure that the size fits. It would be better to rework the text than to have speech bubbles where it is obvious that the text was different originally. Let's not go smaller than Thunt's text size!

EDIT: Double-ninja'd because I took too long. I disagree with Gathers in this case. Thunt changes his style continuously, why shouldn't we adapt as well? When the comic changes to color from B&W, no one will notice it if the font changes too!

I like the idea most to start using the new font when he goes computer font too and stopped using handwritten text.
What about the rest (except Shares, who came up with that idea)? Can you agree on that?


Changing the font retroactively is not that much work so far and done in less than an hour for all pages. Most effort so far went into adapting the background and bubbles, especially the SPORK sound.
For CROSSROAD OF ETERNAL DOOM I won't be able to stick close to a font anyway, this page will be maybe the most work for a long time.

Well, it seems I was a little bit too optimistic. The new (original goblins) font called Animeace2 is much larger than the one we used so far (Comic sans).

Size 14 in comic sans is smaller than Size 13 in Animeace2.
So I think we should stick to your suggestion and start using it when the pages get color so we got a clear cut.

I still can change it if you want, but I think we have to go down two sizes with Animeace2 for each kind of text:

normale text 11 instead of 13
SFX sounds and screaming 12 instead of 14.

Shares is on vacation, and I am still busy doing first draft translations when ever I find a speck of my free time to spare on that.

Nerre, why do you keep asking if anyone was still doing anything every now and then? Because, it is very plain to see whether or not there has been any progress, since the last time you checked.
Also, here's an idea: If you want something done then go ahead and do it. It would be much more productive than just complaining about the (supposed) lack of action of others. And much more appreciated, I'm sure.

I'm not complaining, just asking cause I would have liked to do the graphics in the order of the posts. In the page 11 threat nothing happened for a month, but nobody declared it done. Same for page 12, but with only 20 days instead of a month. So no bad blood, just put them on DONE and I will start to work. I did not want to mess around with the tasks of the translation moderators. You just interpreted it negative, but it was not.

Nerre, if you want those pages declared done, then you have two choices:
*) wait until Shares - who started those topics - returns from her vacation and - with everyone's consensus - declares them done, or
*) go ahead and declare them done yourself on your own responsibility,
because I don't do your bidding. I have no intention, no authority and no reason to mess with the topics Shares started. You couldn't even be bothered to write a "please" or "would you be so kind..." into your post, even though you recently have been complaining that others (especially me) are not polite enough towards you. And don't give me that pitiful excuse, again, of you not having time for courtesies, because typing one "please" takes, like, two seconds.

I would also like to bring your attention to this, because obviously you didn't notice - which is nobody's fault but your own, because the information is there, it's not my business to make you read it: I announced here and here that I won't have the time to fulfill any moderating duties anymore and I pretty much revoked said position and put it up for grabs. So far, there wasn't anyone who wanted to take it up; I guess that's why nobody has yet bothered to return my forum status back to that of a regular user. But that doesn't mean that I still have to do any moderating. Nor that I have the time - or, in your case, the surplus nerves - needed for that, either, even if I still wanted to do it.
Plainly speaking, since 19th of June 2012 I have been and still am merely a humble fellow contributer to the GTP that occasionally does first draft translations - whenever I find the time for this. Nothing less, nothing more.

Since you still choose to bug me with GTP related matters, and do it in an arrogant, demanding way on top of your past and ongoing less than friendly attitude towards me all over the forums, you leave me no choice than to put you onto my ignore list. As far as I know (you being the first person ever to get put on an ignore list by me, so I have no experience on that matter), that means I will not be able to read any of your posts in the future anymore, and I think you will be unable to send me any PMs. Just FYI. Have a nice life.

I already informed Haragorn of this, and he is ok with that, even though we're in a game of his together. It's not a rash decision either, but something I have thoroughly thought through. I came to this decision with a heavy heart, but I made it. And if you insist on knowingly making that move with your character Goron'Kar, because that's role playing, and it turns out to hurt my character Walks, you'd better brace yourself for ingame retaliations of some sort or another. Because that's role playing, too.

As far as I am concerned reading Nerres posts ( in this thread, i don't do the real forum games), he just asked if anyone is still here actively pursueing this project.

He did not specifically ask you to push it, he was wondering why it doesn't go forward with the threads marked as "discussion open".

Ah well, written things get so misinterpreted easily. And the 'nets are known for exactly that.

Have fun.

Ask 4 people for opinions on a translation for Senor Vorpal Kickass'o, and you get 36 proposals...............

Maybe we should group them towards

• a) Kickass'o
• b) der Gr├Â├ƒte
• c) der Überkrieger, Meisterkrieger, Kampfmeister
• d) Haudrauf'o, Hau'drauf'o, Haudrauf
• e) Schlagmichtot'o, Haumichtot'o, Schlagtot'o
• f) Arschtreter, Arschversohler, Todesarschtritt
• g) Arschtritt'o, Trittarsch'o

Then narrow it down within the selected group.
Afterwards select which Version of "Senor Vorpal" fits best to the voted name...

Nerre's suggestion of Arschtritt'o is as good as Trittarsch'o in my opinion....

Okay, all who cared have voted. I'm only taking your first preference (as was announced when I made the long list). We don't even have two people agreeing on a name - - since we're crazy, so I'll try to make the best out of a stupid situation.

A list of our favorites
Everyone gets two votes now. Let's end this endless drama

20. Meister T├Âdlich Arschversohler
21. Meister Vorpal, der Mächtige
26. El Voll Krass'o der Henker
31. Senor Vorpal Kickass'o
32. Senor Vorpal Trittarsch'o/Arschtritt'o

My votes:
Senor Vorpal Kickass'o...................1...(SharesLoot)
El Voll Krass'o der Henker...............1...(SharesLoot)

Hi Maiandra! Welcome to GTP. You're welcome to vote. Since everyone voted for one one of these each, I decided that we needed two votes for different names to find a winner. So yes, if you cast two votes, they have to be for different names.

I'm so used to german movie translators taking the original english names and titles, that I don't feel uncomfortable with leaving the things the way they are - so I'm voting for "Senor Vorpal Kickass'o". Remember the movie "Kick-Ass"? It was released in Germany under the same title with most of the characters keeping original names - and there were almost no complains (of names;)).

Ok, so do we agree that we can't agree on any translation and use SVK as official name for SVK in the German translation?
I'm not happy with it, but it seems there is no alternative we can get more votes for than the original.


Also, Worst asked that we get a move on with the whole name translation business. Shares, I take it that the second post contains the "official" translations we have gathered so far.
So, which ones are missing still? I kinda lost track.

Worst said that she posted another list some time ago, but it was utterly ignored. I remember a list, but I also remember that I reacted. (I really can't do much more than vote myself. If people don't have an opinion or don't want to voice it, then I can't force them...)
Also, I dunno if we are talking about the same list.

Has anyone got any links to official D&D translations of spells and "feats" and the like?

I think the easiest way to get new names discussed, translations for them suggested and voted on, would be to put them into the sheet. That way, everyone who wants to, can participate.
I already took the liberty of adding another page for the items/places and put in some that weren't in there yet. At the cast of character this came at the priice of them not being in order of appearance anymore.

the crossroads of eternal doom ---- die Kreuzung der ewigen Verdammnis
bloodrain forest ---------------------- Blutregenwald - I don't really like this, because it could be interpreted as blood rainforest, if you catch my drift. On the other hand, Wald des Blutregens doesn't roll off the tongue too well.
Brassmooncity ------------------------ (Stadt) Kupfermond
swamp of silence --------------------- Sumpf der Stille

stats ----------------------------------- Attribute
feats ---------------------------------- How about Sonderfertigkeiten (This is something I borrowed from "Das schwarze Auge")
skills ---------------------------------- Talente (Also how it is called in DSA, so I'm used to it. But if the official D&D translation is something different, I would probably go with that.)
fiend folio ---------------------------- Dämonen Almanach
Shield of wonder -------------------- Wunderschild
Anymug ------------------------------ - maybe "Wunschtasse" or "Wunschkrug"?
doom (Spell) ------------------------ Verderben (Zauber)
Yummyuck moss-------------------- - How about "schmatzkotz" Moos?

/ = no need to translate
Sticks -------------------------- /

Kore --------------------------- /
Crunk ------------------------- /
Thaco ------------------------- /

Eigentlich habe ich ja wenig Zeit, aber zu einem meiner absoluten Lieblingsitems im Comic muß ich doch was schreiben.

Anymug ------------------------------ - maybe "Wunschtasse" or "Wunschkrug"?


Anymug ------------------------------ Allestasse, Wunderbecher



Alles- kam mir auch schon in den Sinn, passt aber nicht so recht zur Bedeutung. Was ich als Endung sch├Ân finde und zum Becher passt, den Forgath mit sich herumschleppt, w├ñre Humpen.

Als Anfang würde ich Füll- nehmen, angelehnt an Füllhorn. Das ist das einzige was mir im Deutschen einfällt, das wirklich die Bedeutung 100% wiederspiegelt. Wunsch ist nah dran, aber eben kein Volltreffer. Außerdem eine recht langer Anfang.

Somit wäre ich bei

Anymug --- Füllhumpen (was schon ein wenig nach Füllhorn klingt). Genauso gut gefällt mir Füllkrug , zumal es nicht zu lang ist - Immer an die Textlänge denken.


Yummyuck moss-------------------- Lecbäh Moos, Leckgitt-Moos/Süßbäh-Moos [Geilscheiß-Kraut ]


Wie wäres mit Gutgitt-Moos ? Dann sind die Anfangsbuchsaben beider Teile wie im Original identisch.

I'm not happy with it, but it seems there is no alternative we can get more votes for than the original.



Naja, bevor es El Krasso der Henker wird, bei dem ich immer noch nicht verstehe wie er in die Endrunde kam, haben einige lieber f├╝r das Original gestimmt, obwohl es f├╝r sie eher nur zweite oder dritte Wahl war. El Krasso ist so meilenweit vom Original entfernt und gef├ñllt zumindest mir so derma├ƒen nicht, das ich mich weigern w├╝rde das in die SVG einzubauen. Ich finde da├ƒ wir zwischenzeitlich gute Kompromisse hatte. Die starben dann nur einen sinnlosen Tod weil die Abstimmung a) viel zu viele Optionen hatte und b) die Abstimmung nicht sinnvoll durchgef├╝hrt wurde, und c) immer wieder neu rumdiskutiert und editiert wurde da├ƒ man am Ende komplett die ├£bersicht verlor. (weil Leute ihre Stimmen als Reaktion auf andere Stimmen verschoben, nach dem Motto: Wenn ich meine erste Wahl nicht bekomme, schaue ich wenigstens da├ƒ meine zweite m├Âglichst viele Stimmen bekommt.)
Die Stimmen haben sich viel zu breit gestreut und dann auch noch "bewegt", so daß teilweise Vorschläge in Runde 2 kamen, die nur dritte Wahl waren, aber das für mehrere Personen, während ettliche erste Wahl Vorschläge rausfielen.

Besser hätte mir eine Abstimmung der Art gefallen:
Jeder bekommt pro Abstimmungsteil 3 Stimmen f├╝r seine erste Wahl, und 1 Stimme f├╝r EINE zweite Wahl. Bei Abstimmung 2 nat├╝rlich 3+1 PRO Option.
Abstimmung 2 erfolgt erst, wenn Abstimmung 1 fertig ist. Selbiges f├╝r 3 nach 2.
Aus den jeweils zwei f├╝hrenden Optionen der drei Namensteile werden alle sechs m├Âglichen Namen gebildet, und diese als Finalisten in einer letzten Abstimmungsrunde angeboten.

Abstimmung 1)
3 Wort Name a la Senor Vorpal Kickasso
oder
4 Wort Name a la Senor Vorpal, the Kickasso.

Abstimmung 2)
Teil 1: Erstes Wort:
- Senor
- Mister
- Herr
- Meister
- El

Teil 2: mittlere Wort:
- Vorpal
- Lethal
- Krass/Krass'o/voll Krass'o
- T├Âdlich

Teil 3: letzter Teil (je nach Abstimmung 1 nur die unteren oder nur die oberen):
- der Mächtige
- der Henker

- Arschtritt'o
- Kickasso'o

Abstimmung 3:
Abstimmung ├╝ber die 6 m├Âglichen Namenskombinationen der Spitzenreiter aus Abstimmung 2.

Senor Beater Dead Hors'e

I did say that our name selection process for SVK was bad. I don't see any advantage in picking up the red flag again.
Your suggestion is similar to what Krulle posted above (same page), though. Maybe you two are right.

Go ahead, Nerre, I won't stop you. If you can find a consensus for a good translation, I'll be happy.
Personally, I just didn't like any translations, except (if at all) the translation you liked least...
I really dislike both the "Letal" and "Arschversohler" elements.

Okay, I completed the selection list for the second voting round with the options I found that you didn't include:

Re: GTP - Name Discussion

Postby Nerre ┬╗ Fri May 11, 2012 1:57 pm
We still have to come up with a name for him.

My favourites:
Mister T├Âdlich Arschtritt'o.
Herr T├Âdlich Arschtritt'o.

A little analysis and try to find a solution:

If you don't like letal (which i liked since it is the same for almost any language basing on latin, except for a H here and there like LETHAL vs LETAL), I would suggest T├Âdlich. By the way, I never used Arschversohler with a 4th word.

The coolness spanish has for americans, suits to the coolness english has for germans. But the german Herr is good too. It carries some kind of "He is a nice normal guy with a good reputation...", then the rest of the name finishes the sentence with "...who is the most deadly ass kicker ever".

"Der Mächtige" or "Der Henker" just does not fit to the style of the original name. That is one of the reasons why I would agree on a name ending on "'o" although I am not a fan of that, except for the original kickass'o. But on the other hand: the o normaly comes from the something-o-meter, which means meassuring the something. But in Goblins, I think it is something else: a try to make the english word Kickass more spanish sounding. Like El Panthero (weergeek comic), Zorro and so on.
If we could agree on english being the equivalently cool language for german than spanish is for english, then we should try to come up with a english ending for the last part of the name, instead of a spanish one. (Got no idea for that ending at the moment, it's too warm in here for my brain to work properly...maybe some of the ..inator like terminator, exterminator or ...izor ?).

like:
Mister T├Âdlich Pr├╝gelnator
Herr T├Âdlich Arschtrittorizor

it's too hot in here...but I kind of like the Pr├╝gelnator.

*sigh*
I really dislike both letal (just too "old and dusty" a word for my taste) and Arschversohler (just gut feeling, can't agrue about that), too.

I don't think that translating an ORIGINAL English name into german and then make the translation SOUND more like an English word is ... a very bright idea. No offense meant, Nerre.
But in that case I'd rather stick with the original, which should be English sounding enough, anyways, imho.

Or use "Meister Vorpal Kickass'o" (the Meister is to signal the translation and/or because most people in Germany - at least those who don't know English well enough to read the comic in original, anyways - might not "get"/dig the Senor like most people in the USA would, and the Vorpal Kickass'o is for "keeping" the English sound).



Other than that, sorry, but I'm feeling too tired of this issue to vote again.
Because I still like Meister Vorpal, der Mächtige best, and what purpose is there to repeat that over and over and over and over... again?

I would agree on the

Eh, that idea doesn't really appeal to me. That sounds like either he starts out whispering, or he only shouts at the end, while he's really shouting and shaking the dude all the while. I think we should keep them at the same size.



Then, as far as I'm concerned, it would depend on what could be made to fit. It's not like Onterecht-Geschud is terrible, I just like Onterecht-Dooreengerammeld better.

Yeah, Dooreengerammeld might just be a little better, even though I think that's more of a Belgian thing again (I read a monthly gaming magazine from Belgium where they use that sort of expression a lot, whereas Dutch would be 'door elkaar gerammeld'). Still, if we can't make it fit nicely, Onterecht-Geschud is fine as far as I'm concerned.

As for 'son of a crap'...

I don't know whether you're serious, Asks, but if flemish people want to make fun of how dutch people speak, "Gossiemijne seg" is the staple expression to do it with, together with things like "Asjemenou" and "patat". We can't do that with a goblin, it would make the panel look like a cheap joke instead of someone cussing.

Sleaw is right, most expressions I can think of that sound natural would be in english. Let's leave it 'till we get there and focus on the names for a bit longer, we're almost there.

Edit for the Ninja: case in point. Though come to think of it, "Asjemenou" could be used, as it has cute connotations because of Loeki. Only for my generation though, younger folk grew up with sufficient flemish tv channels not to watch yours

It needs to be silly, but also swearing. Son of a crap consists of son of a b*tch and crap. In Dutch that would be hoerenjong and drol?
Son of a crap would be drollenjong xD

It sounds absurd, I know, but then, so does son of a crap

I don't think we need to go for literal translation here. It's the idea behind the words that's important, not the words themselves. All we need is a swear word that fits the category 'something you'd say when you suddenly realise you're screwed'.

Haha, I know, but it sounded to absurd not to share

I guess kut and godverdomme are out of the question, but like you've said before, most other things I'd shout when I'm screwed are in English. And I don't see our goblins shouting "Ach en Wee!"

Seriously though, we could go for one of the many euphemisms for those, like potverdikke - perhaps even come up with some of our own.

Not actual suggestions, unless somebody like one, but I've heard Chips instead of Shit and Ketchup instead of kut in cases like this.

If we settle on Onterecht-Geschud, then that means that for now we only have Complains and Ears left, right?

For Complains, I still think Maiandra's suggestion Kritisch-over-Namen is very good. For Ears, I like Flapoor, but it'd be good to know how many people are opposed to it (for example, because it might sound like an insult).

Not going to reopen discussion on it, but this was my reason for not liking 'Zwaardbaard', as (to me) it reads like not taking the name serious enough (but it coudl probably work). 'Asjemenou' just doesn't seem like a suprised curse, it's more an expression of positive surprise.

Edit for the Ninja: case in point. Though come to think of it, "Asjemenou" could be used, as it has cute connotations because of Loeki. Only for my generation though, younger folk grew up with sufficient flemish tv channels not to watch yours



Never liked 'Loeki de Leeuw' too much myself, either. I feel we'd need something that mixes up two curses creating something that doesn't make sense, but still "mouths" properly, if it somehow also means something related to 'zoon van' , 'stront' en/of the "bitch"/'teef' hinted at that would be a bonus. As mentioned already, in practice we Northlings would probably use something in English to get the right mix of being weakened but still sounding like you mean it. E.g. 'shit' when used by a Dutchmen is supposed to be felt as being far weaker than "shit" used by a native speaker (and is a great cause of confusion in a mixed crowd). Is using Dutch words not stolen from English a means or an end?

Maybe 'Krijg nou de schijterij!'?

Hi I'm Dutch too. (And, yes, my name is an anagram)

Thinking about cursing.. there's also "krijg nou (fill in some disease or inconvinience)" which can be used in many circumstances.

Which can be modified to make Krijg nou de stront, of de schijt. That way in this case we have what we need. Which is sort of what Luteijn proposed, though schijterij may be too long for this particular case.

Be my guest.

The transcriptions are made because it isn't that much extra work, and allows for faster text checking than going through the comics everytime.
Also, they are done for other projects as well (maybe even for Thunt to publish alongside his comics, for faster searching and finding specific pages in the comics,...)

And the layers are done for several reasons:
- copyright: we do not change nor copy the original, we simply put layers with the translations over it (and publish the empty layers -> not much work, and helps other language projects).
- not much extra work compared to altering the original (which would have copyright issues, although Thunt specifically approved, as long as no-one makes money out of altered versions).

So, please feel free to adopt the hard work of Nerre and others...

I've always felt people using the Dutch words 'schijt', 'poep' (another interesting difference between North and South), 'stront' etc. to express annoyment with how something pans out, where one would normally (using a definition of normal that includes swearing at all as being normal) use 'shit', where doing it for fun, purposely translating it to simultaniously get some (more) of the sting out of the word, and also get a laugh for saying something that sounds funny (much like using 'Scheisse' in an ironic voice, with a fake German accent). Which is not the effect I was looking for here, so I used something both recognisable as a sickness and related to excrement. I think I would probably like 'krijg nou de shit' better, or, 'krijg nou de kak'; where 'kak' is somewhat of an exception to the other 'shit' translations being purely funny, as it also has the 'k' from 'kut' that would be appropriate in the cases "son of a crap" would be used, and they are shorter than 'schijt[erij]', too.

I'm not particularly fond of using excrement words actually. Neither of the dutch translations for "crap" does have the same casual ring as "crap" has. Dutch words for fecal matter tend to sound so much more gross. Something in the letters we use.
Also "son of a crap" is curse that uses impossibility and therefore has more humor than "krijg nou de schijt" which only has vulgarity.
Though including an impossibility in "krijg nou ..." will be quite a challenge.

Another possibility I see is "wat de ...". Which might be quite new in Dutch swearing but it sounds plausible enough.

Also I vote for short curses. Preferably one syllable per word.

People - names. Focus.

If nobody else wants to discuss the names, then I'm tempted to just fix them on my personal preference because apparently nobody else has an opinion. Seriously, though - I know there has been a lot of discussion about them already, but they're important names. We need to think them through. There has been very little response to the new idea about Complains's name yet, and I've also asked for an indication about how many people think Flapoor has too many negative connotations. I know we're eager to actually start this off, and perhaps even more eager to just discuss vulgarities in general, but if you can spare the time to discuss that then you also have the two seconds it takes to determine your preference for these last two names.

So - 1) who thinks Kritisch-over-Namen is a good translation for Complains?
and 2) who thinks Flapoor has too many negative connotations to be a nice translation for Big Ears?

And, naturally, new suggestions or other preferences are always welcome.

1) I did indicate once I liked it, so I like it.
2) I do, as indicated before.

Look, no offense against any of the less-contributing participants, but I do think we should ask and hear their opinions, but then Sleaw, Maiandra and me should keep this thing moving, so if those 3 reply and after 3-5 days nobody else does, just move it along. I think I kind of indicated this before.
But this discussion that popped up is a good proof (and Sleaw's need to say focus people).

I think the main reason why we sometimes have people dropping in without talking about the names, is that we start discussing something else while waiting and they don't go back to the previous page to catch up (case in point: the son of a crap).

So, for you casuals: we're going to choose Kritisch-Over-Namen and Flapoor unless you pipe up sometime soon!

I'm fine with Kritisch-over-Namen. For Big-Ears I prefer Groot-Oor to Flapoor.

For "Son of a crap", how about "Kleremina"? Most of the swearing in Dutch is the names of diseases and blasphemy, rather than bodily functions and disparaging ones' ancestry as is often the case in English. Kleremina combines "Klere/Kolere" with "Jezusmina".

Hey guys

As I don't speak a word of German or Dutch, I thought I might see if there was any interest in starting one for French or Spanish? I learned each for about 6 years, and can read and write both passably, and I'm still in contact with some old teachers who could help out with trickier phrases.

Hope we can get something started

Je pourrais vous aider si vous voulez vraiment commencer un projet de traduction pour la langue fran├ºaise. Je suis Allemand, mais j'ai pass├® un an en France. En plus, j'ai ├®tudi├® la traduction Fran├ºais-Allemand ├á l'universit├®. Je pense qu'il serait mieux si quelqu'un dont la langue maternelle est fran├ºais traduit le bd en ligne, mais je pourrais corriger des fautes d'ortographe et aussi contribuer des idees.

I could help you if you really want to start a translation project for the French language. I am German, but I spent a year in France. In addition, I studied translation French-German university. I think it would be better if someone whose mother tongue is French translated the comic online, but I can correct spelling mistakes and also contribute ideas.



A word to everyone posting here:
Feel free to post in your own language, but please remember this is an English forum. If you want to post in a different language, please at least summarize your text in English, or use Google translate and paste the result here if it makes sense. As you can see above, Google does a stunning job for French-English (thanks to Canadian politics, by the way), with only a few small mistakes.

Pretty good list.

If you will forgive my impertinance, I went over the French translation and brought a few correction (I'm a Native French speaker from Canada and a French as Second Language Teacher). Overall, it was pretty good...and if I had more time I'd love to help with the translation but family/work keeps me pretty busy (although I don't mind helping with the occasional revision).

Lots of good suggestions. Thanks! I didn't have the time to reply, but I saw most of the mistakes that you corrected in Jibjib's list

Now I need to get back to work on the German translation

I would advise anyone who is interested in starting a Spanish translations project simply get started. I don't think you need anyone's permission to begin.

Yes, please, by all means get started. (You're only going to need THunt's permission when/if you are going to try and publish the finished translated pages in some way, but that's a very far way off.)
If I can provide any help by doing mod stuff (e.g. announce things and/or close/move topics), let me know. My French is by far not good enough to even try and help with the translations and my Spanish is almost non-existent.
I hope you can find someone else to help you, though, because it is really a lot of work.

Unfortunately I can't help out with translations (my French gets rustier by the day), but I thought I'd provide an (English speaker's) opinion on the name translation for Senor Vorpal Kickass'o - I kinda think of it as being a nice wordplay on Picasso - SVK could kick ass and do it with artistry.

Forgath: Moment mal, wieso trägt dann überhaupt jemand Helme?

Forgath: Nunja, ich weiß, warum ich meinen trage. "Das ist ein Helm". Wenn diese vier Worte nicht wären, wäre ich heute nicht hier.
Helm: Das ist ein Helm

Forgath: Ich sollte jetzt aber lieber zum Kampf eilen. Wenn ich die Dunkelelfen richtig einschätze, kämpfen sie wie Kriegerprinzessinen. (Kriegsballerinas)

Minmax: Nein, ich habÔÇÖ mit diesem anderen Goblin gek├ñmpft.

Forgath: Wir sind ziemlich spät dran. Es besteht die Chance, dass die Dunkelelfen inzwischen übermannt wurden. Wir müssen damit rechnen, dass sie tot sind, wenn wir ankommen.

Minmax: Tot? Wirklich?

Minmax: Neiiiiiin! Verdaaaamt sollt Ihr Goblins sein! Zur H├Âlle mit Euch allen!!!

Nun ja, die XBox hat den so genannten Ring Of Death (wenn der Ring komplett rot aufleuchtet). Darauf spielt das an. Man kann aber noch moderner gehen, und sich einfach auf das neueste "Tablet" beziehen. Und sich dann über den begrenzten Zugang für Software dafür ärgern.

Forgath wrote:"Oh mächtiger Herbert! Du, der das neueste Tablet noch aus dem Zelt heraus ergattert hat aber die Politik des begrenzten Softwarezugangs verfluchst, vergibst Du EP fürs rollenspielen?"



NB: Forgath fragt nicht nach "gutem" Rollenspiel....

I see, I heard about the 'red ring of death' but I'm not sure whether it was that much an issue here in Germany, since I don't know any X-Box users.
I know some people who bought the PS3 but the problems there would be rather, that you can't play older games on the newer models and that some games had an ugly 'Gr├╝nstich' (colors were off).
I don't know anything about the tablets, though, maybe the others should help decide or suggest something as well.

I decided for the 3DS here, because it was discussed a lot in the German forums I'm visiting.
- I myself wont by any new machine until I'm convinced that there is a few games I actually really want to play, so far I haven't seen a single one.

Postby Zathyra ┬╗ Wed Feb 08, 2012 5:19 pm
Okay, I don┬┤t know how we actually want to do the work. My suggestion would be, that one translates a batch of text and the others give their opinions or translate the whole thing too and then we fight a little and in the end we let sharesloot decide. Or something like that.

I transcribed the first few pages, just to make a start.

Wilkommen bei "Goblins"
Bevor Ihr mit dem Lesen anfangt solltet Ihr folgendes wissen:

Als Künstler und Autor habe ich noch eine Menge zu lernen. Das habe ich immer und werde es auch hoffentlich immer. Der Tag an dem ich alles über diese beiden Formen der Kunst weiß, wird der Tag sein, an dem sie jeden Reiz für mich verlieren werden. In meinem Bestreben mich ständig weiter zu verbessern verändere ich auch meinen Zeichen- und Erzählstil. Für jene Leser die meinen Comic seit Jahren verfolgen passieren diese Änderungen nahezu unmerklich, aber alle neuen Leser, die vielleicht ein oder zwei der neuesten Seiten durchgeblättert haben, etwas fanden was Ihr Interesse geweckt hat und sich entschieden haben die Geschichte ganz von vorne zu lesen, werden den Unterschied ohne Zweifel bemerken. Also lasst es uns kurz und schmerzlos machen, nicht wahr? Keine Sorge, ich bin hier. Wir machen das zusammen.


Spoiler: show


Großohr der Goblin
gezeichnet 2001 (vier Jahre bevor der Comic ins Internet gestellt wurde)

Spoiler: show


Also, da habt Ihr es! Jetzt wo wir das hinter uns haben, werdet Ihr wohl nachdem Ihr von der letzten Seite zurück an den Anfang gesprungen seid, nicht mehr rätseln ob Ihr versehentlich im falschen Comic gelandet seid.

Zwar bin ich stolz auf meine Fortschritte und hoffe mich auch in den nächsten Jahren weiter zu verbessern aber diese ersten Bilder der Goblins werden immer einen besonderen Platz in meinem Herzen haben und daher unverändert bleiben (abgesehen davon, daß die frühen schwarzweiß Seiten in der Buchausgabe des Comics nachcoloriert und teils mit verbessertem Text versehen worden sind).

Ich hoffe Ihr werdet viel Spa├ƒ mit "Goblins" haben, der als MEIN Comic begann aber ├╝ber die Jahre zu UNSEREM Comic geworden ist, der nicht l├ñnger nur mir geh├Ârt sondern auch allen Lesern, die Ihn genausosehr lieben wie ich.

-Thunt

Chef: Seufz
-Was gibt es denn, Meckert-Über-Namen?

Meckert: Was soll das mit unseren Namen? Ich meine, ich verstehe, dass wir unseren Nachwuchs manchmal nach auffälligen Merkmalen oder Gewohnheiten benennen, aber muß wirklich die Wahrsagerin die Namen für die Neugeborenen aussuchen?

- Der arme Stirbt Schrecklich hier, hat sein ganzes bisheriges Leben in Todesangst verbracht!

Stirbt: BEI ALLEN GÖTTERN! NIMM DAS SCHWERT DA WEG!!!

Chef: Was habt Ihr gesehen, oh Jung und Sch├Ân unsere Wahrsagerin?
Meckert: Ich kann nicht fassen, dass wir ihr erlaubt haben, sich auch ihren eigenen Namen auszusuchen!

J&S: Morgen, wird eine neue Gruppe von Abenteurern gegen uns in den Kampf ziehen! Daher habe ich mein zweites Gesicht benutzt, um alle ihre St├ñrken und Schw├ñchen auf diesen Papierb├Âgen festzuhalten.

Chef: Papierb├Âgen, die ihren wahren Charakter wiederspiegeln? Wie nennt Ihr diese 'Charakterb├Âgen'?
Meckert: Seufz, jetzt kommts!

J&S: Ich nenne diese Charakterb├Âgen:

J&S: Goblins, ich hatte eine Vision!

- Eine Gruppe von Abenteurern wird uns morgen angreifen, nachdem sie sich an der Kreuzung der ewigen Verderbnis bewiesen haben! (Transl. sug.: am Kreuzweg)
- Um sicherzugehen, dass wir auch effektiv kämpfen, habe ich entschieden welcher Goblin gegen welchen Abenteurer antreten wird.

G1: Hier steht ich kämpfe gegen Forgath den Zwergenkleriker.
Meckert: Und mein Gegner ist Seth Bainwrath, der Dunkelelf, der sich von seinem Volk losgesagt hat um das B├Âse der Oberfl├ñchenwelt zu bek├ñmpfen.
Stirbt: Hey, hier steht, dass ich gegen jemanden namens Minmax kämpfen soll, Minmax den unaufhaltsamen Krieger.
Meckert: Lass mal sehen, Stirbt Schrecklich.

Meckert: Oh, verdammt! Dieser Minmax hat eine Stärke von 22! Wie kann ein Mensch auf Stufe 1 eine Stärke von 22 haben?

Chef: Na er wird halt seine Attribute etwas umverteilt haben, wo ist das Problem?

Meckert: Das Problem ist Häuptling, dass dieser Typ drei Spezialkräfte zuviel hat und alle seine Fähigkeiten kampforientiert sind.

Chef: Ernsthaft?
Wow!
Hier steht, dass er 38 Methoden kennt, jemanden nur mit dem Daumen zu t├Âten, aber keine Ahnung hat, wie man ein Lagerfeuer anz├╝ndet oder sich anzieht.

Meckert: Und hier in seiner Hintergrundgeschichte steht, dass er mit einem Bastardschwert kämpfen konnte bevor er 3 Jahre alt war.
Stirbt: Oh Gott!
Meckert: Wie soll das denn gehen? Er h├ñtte es nicht mal heben k├Ânnen!

J&S: Schaut mal, Ihr alle ├╝berseht hier das Wesentliche! Solange wir nur alle unseren Teil dazu tun, um die schlecht verschlossene Schatztruhe zu bewachen, kann uns gar nichts passieren.

Meckert: Ahem!
Dazu hätte ich auch noch eine Frage.


J&S: Seufz
Was gibts, Meckert?

Meckert: Ich meine, sollten wir nicht vielleicht ausnahmsweise mal ein paar von den Sachen benutzen, die in der schlecht verschlossenen Schatztruhe lagern? Ich meine dieser magische Schild k├Ânnte beim Kampf morgen ziemlich n├╝tzlich sein.


http://www.goblinscomic.com/07042005/

Spoiler: show



G1: Also jetzt wo er es sagt, ich hätte nichts gegen das +1 Kurzschwert.

J&S: Goblins, Goblins, bitte!

-F├╝r zahllose Generationen haben wir Goblins die Dinge auf unsere Weise erledigt. Wir k├Ânnen das doch nicht pl├Âtzlich alles ├╝ber Bord werfen, nur weil es...
- "Sinn macht".

Meckert: K├Ânnten wir dann vielleicht wenigstens ein etwas besseres Schlo├ƒ an der Truhe anbringen und sie sagen wir 'mal verstecken anstatt sie im Zentrum unseres Feldlagers aufzubauen, als w├ñre sie irgendeine Art Troph├ñe oder ein Preis?
J&S: Also jetzt redest Du reinen Schwachsinn!

All in all a good translation, although I read it in whole not comparing line with line.

The small things I noticed were: stats =/= Statistiken, but Attribute. I heard people call them Charakterwerte too, but Attribute seems to be most common. Sometimes Hauptattribute.

Oh, and "makes sense" is in german "ergiebt Sinn" not "macht Sinn". At least I heard that specific complain about a thousand times from friends who studied linguistics

Well yes, that is one of those cases where grammar says "ergibt Sinn" and everybody else says "macht Sinn".
Don't worry both can be used but 'ergibt' would look more unnatural in this case.

I agree on the "Attribute" thought "Charakterwerte" would be ok, too, but maybe a tad too long. I'll change it to Attribute.

G├╝rtelschnalle: Ich bin genial!

Helm: Der Helm! (Is this okay? I don't know the history of the named armorparts from the bonus-story)


Minmax: Mann, war das ein Spaß! Diese Kobolde wußten einfach nicht wann Schluß ist, was, Forgath?
Forgath: Ja, man sollte meinen sie merken wie unterlegen sie sind, sobald sie sehen, dass Du Ausweichs- UND Angriffsreflexe hast.

Minmax: Also, wo sind die (Aua!) anderen?

Forgath: Sie sind immernoch...

Autsch!

... dabei die Beute aus der schlecht verschlossenen Schatztruhe zusammenzupacken, die wir in der Mitte des Koboldischen Feldlagers gefunden haben.

Minmax: Mann! Ich kann es gar nicht abwarten bis wir endlich das Feldlager der Goblins finden!
Forgath: Koboldischen? Heißt das wirklich so? (Das klingt irgendwie nicht richtig...)

Minmax: Wie sagtest Du noch heißt der Ort von dem aus wir da hinkommen?
Forgath: Kreuzung der ewigen Verderbnis! ...Koboldigen? Nein... Kobolditischen vielleicht?

Wegweiser: Dies ist die Kreuzung der ewigen Verderbnis!
Das folgende Abenteuer enthält Gewalt- und kurze Naktszenen und ist daher nicht für Kinder oder Halblinge geeignet.
Minmax: Und wo soll das sein?

Forgath: Minmax, wie kommt das, dass Du nicht lesen kannst? Seit Edition 3.0 k├Ânnen alle au├ƒer den Barbaren lesen!

Minmax: Ich habe die Fähigkeit gegen +1 auf meine Trefferwürfe getauscht.

Forgath: Noch ein +1? Wie hoch ist Dein Trefferbonus jetzt genau?
Minmax: Das willst Du gar nicht wissen.

Seth: Warum? Warum nur wurde ich zur├╝ckgelassen?

Ich, der ich mich von der Dunkelheit des Unterreiches abgewandt habe, um Heldentaten im Lichte der Oberfläche zu vollbringen, obwohl ich ein cooler Dunkelelf bin, und damit zu einem einzigartigen, tragischen Helden werde, genau wie mein Halbkusin Drizzt?



http://www.goblinscomic.com/07112005/

Minmax: Moment war das jetzt eine Frage?
Forgath: Nein. - Laß ihn einfach seinen Monolog beenden.

Seth: Und indem ich mein teuflisches Erbe zur├╝cklie├ƒ, und den Ha├ƒ der Dunkelelfen auf mich zog habe ich gleich eine Horde an ultracoolen Feinden gewonnen, die der Bedeutung meiner Person mehr Gewicht verleihen. Und dass mich auch jeder Bewohner der Oberfl├ñche ablehnt, erg├ñnzt meine Person um genau das richtige Ma├ƒ an Ironie und Trag├Âdie.

Minmax: Diese Drizzt Klone nehmen langsam Überhand. Ich frage mich ob da draußen nicht mehr rebellische als normale Dunkelelfen rumlaufen?
Forgath: Ich weiß was Du meinst wir haben jetzt schon drei Stück davon in der Truppe. (Gruppe? )

Drasst: Ich, Verklag-mich-doch Drasst, Drizzts Halbbruder bin ein einsamer Wolf, dazu bestimmt jene zu besch├╝tzen, die mich nicht verstehen.

Tussie: Ich auch.

Minmax: Also Forgath, was steht auf der R├╝ckseite vom Wegweiser?
Forgath: Hier steht, dass wir erst ein Abenteuer bestehen m├╝ssen, bevor wir rausfinden wo das Goblincamp ist.

Minmax: Was? Noch ein Abenteuer? Ich hoffe wirklich es ist besser als das letzte! Das war viel zu einfach!

Forgath: Ich werde ein Gebet an meinen Gott richten und daf├╝r sorgen, dass die neue Aufgabe schwierig genug ist, damit wir uns ein paar extra Erfahrungspunkte verdienen k├Ânnen.

Oh m├ñchtiger Herbert, der Du immernoch zu Hause bei Deiner Mama wohnst und in der Frittenbude die Burger umdrehst! erh├Âre mich, oh M├ñchtiger!

Okay, done with that, too. I went a bit far from the literal meaning here, sometimes.
- Pit text changed after discussion.
- Added text for Minmax' beltbuckle and Forgath's helmet.
- Names were corrected (there wasn't much to do in this one though.)

Wilkommen bei "Goblins"

Nice translation!

Guys, you are really great!

I suggest we use a standardized format for transcriptions, though, since this gets long and messy otherwise.

How about using spoiler tags?

PageDate Original
Spoiler: hide
Enter Transcript here

PageDate German
Spoiler: hide
Hier steht die deutsche Übersetzung
That way we could put many pages in a post and still make it readable. Thanks a million for these great new spoiler tags, Thunt!

On to a real page...

I took your translation as a basis, changed it (quite) a bit and made a new German first page. What do you think?

Here's the text suggested by me:
WILKOMMEN BEI GOBLINS!
BEVOR DIE GESCHICHTE BEGINNT, MÖCHTE ICH ETWAS ERKLÄREN:

ALS ZEICHNER UND AUTOR HABE ICH NOCH VIEL ZU LERNEN. DAS HABE ICH IMMER UND WERDE ES HOFFENTLICH
AUCH WEITERHIN. DER TAG AN DEM ICH ALLES ÜBER DIESE BEIDEN KUNSTFORMEN WEISS WIRD DER TAG SEIN,
AN DEM SIE JEDEN REIZ FÜR MICH VERLIEREN. WEIL ICH MICH STÄNDIG WEITERENTWICKELN WILL VERÄNDERE
ICH AUCH MEINEN ZEICHEN- UND ERZÄHLSTIL. FÜR LESER, DIE DEN COMIC SEIT JAHREN VERFOLGEN, PASSIEREN
DIESE ÄNDERUNGEN NAHEZU UNMERKLICH. NEUE LESER, DIE VIELLEICHT EIN ODER ZWEI DER NEUEN SEITEN
DURCHBLÄTTERN UND ETWAS BESONDERES FINDEN DAS IHR INTERESSE WECKT UND SICH DANN ENTSCHEIDEN
DIE GESCHICHTE GANZ VON VORNE ANZUFANGEN, WERDEN DEN UNTERSCHIED AUF JEDEN FALL BEMERKEN.
FÜR SIE MACHE ICH ES KURZ UND SCHMERZLOS, OKAY?

DER GOBLIN GROSSE OHREN
GEZEICHNET 2001
(4 JAHRE BEVOR DER COMIC
INS INTERNET KAM)

DER GOBLIN GROSSE OHREN
GEZEICHNET 2009

DAS HÄTTEN WIR GESCHAFFT. JETZT KOMMT ES WAHRSCHEINLICH NICHT MEHR VOR, DASS JEMAND DIE NEUEN SEITEN
SIEHT, ZURÜCK ZUR ERSTEN SEITE KLICKT UND DENKT, DASS ES SICH UM EINEN GANZ ANDEREN COMIC HANDELT.

ICH BIN ZWAR STOLZ AUF MEINE FORTSCHRITTE UND WERDE DEN COMIC AUCH IN DEN NÄCHSTEN JAHREN WEITER
VERBESSERN, ABER DIESE ERSTEN SEITEN VON GOBLINS WERDEN IMMER EINEN BESONDEREN PLATZ IN MEINEM HERZEN
HABEN UND DAHER UNVERÄNDERT BLEIBEN (AUSSER DASS DIE ERSTEN SCHWARZ-WEISSEN SEITEN IN DER DRUCKAUSGABE
DES COMICS FARBIG UND MIT NEUEM TEXT VERSEHEN SIND).

ICH HOFFE, DASS MEINE LESER VIEL SPASS MIT GOBLINS HABEN, DER ALS MEIN COMIC BEGANN, ABER ÜBER DIE JAHRE
ZU UNSEREM COMIC GEWORDEN IST, DER NICHT LÄNGER NUR MIR GEHÖRT, SONDERN AUCH ALLEN LESERN, DIE IHN
GENAUSOSEHR LIEBEN WIE ICH.

Aber nehmen wir lieber eine andere Übersetzung für 'Big Ears', Okay?
'Gro├ƒe Ohren' l├ñ├ƒt sich schlecht aussprechen und klingt auch nicht besonders gut, auch wenn es die w├Ârtliche ├£bersetzung ist.
Ihn einfach nur kurz 'Ohren' zu rufen klingt auch irgendwie nicht richtig.
Ich glaube wirklich wir sollten es bei der Einzahl 'Ohr' belassen, ganz egal welches Wort wir letztendlich davorsetzen.

Awesome, Shares and Worst.
Obviously I didn't even notice the inscription at the edge of the pit before. :o

On the part you aren't quite content with:
How about "außerdem war es das reinste Kinderspiel" and "Dann spielt doch mal hiermit, (Kinder)..."


And some minor things that I would change a little bit (or want to say "kudos" to you about):
"Mann, war das lustig!" - I think "Mann, das hat Spaß gemacht" would fit a bit better. "lustig" is more like "amusing" in my eyes.

"Hier steht, das wir erst ein Abenteuer bestehen m├╝ssen, bevor wir zum Feldlager der Goblins finden."
Maybe better "... bevor wir die Position des Goblincamps erfahren." They are not actually traveling there yet.

"Oh m├ñchtiger Herbert, der Du immernoch zu Hause bei Deiner Mama wohnst und in der Frittenbude die Burger umdrehst! erh├Âre mich, oh M├ñchtiger!"
Rofl, really nicely translated.
"Tussie" - That COULD actually be her name. (Iirc, it's never mentioned and the hormone driven teen might care so much about his character that he might name her exactly that... )

I'd say we vote on that. I'm not really happy with any of our versions, mine included.

You see, we collected several suggestions for "Big Ears" in the other thread, but the translation here ignored all 2 or 3 suggestions over there! I know it wasn't on purpose, but we should go about this in an orderly manner, and we haven't even finalized the CoC translation yet.

On an entirely related note, I definitely think we need several threads for this project.

General discussion thread (the current "Goblins - translations?" thread - messy but necessary)
Tech thread (all technical tools and discussions)
Transcription thread (English only)
Translation thread (translations and discussion here)
Finished pages thread (no discussion, one post per page, bilingual transcripts, links to SVG file and finished page)


Before we start churning out new threads, let's try getting a subforum ASAP.

Before we discuss or vote on names and stuff, let's nominate some moderators for the project... look here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=48&p=6546#p6546

EDIT: The spoiler tags you added look real good, the work you did so far is really useful! Voting will be over soon, so we can get started tomorrow

When i send an PM to Shares, she planned to do ONE page in ONE thread. This is chaos, especially if you have to open all those annoying spoilers all the time to see what the others wrote.
I suggested us doing 2-3 pages at a time, one in each thread. She suggested doing only one at a time. But what i see here is far beyond 2-3. Maybe we should agree on a system first and vote for the names of the characters.
Somebody mentioned that we maybe get our own subforum from Thunt, is this still up to date? I saw that Shares mentioned it again.

If you stick to this ammount of spoilers and combine it with doing 10 times at once, i am out and will only do graphics. That is unreadable and totally chaotic. I don't want to sound to harsh, but that is what i think. I can't work with that chaotic style, since i would have to open two browser windows for comparing and a third for writing my response.

How about at least using quotations? That way we would not have to open every spoilertag, but the translations would be clearly seperated from the rest. If we do it one by one, we would have no nead for spoiler tags.

We should stick to the "one page, one thread" system. Else it is hard to discuss the pages and read through all the suggestions and compare them.

Another thing i noticed: Some translation sound nice and like being written for a puppet theatre. Would anybody mind if we maybe use more slang, abbreviations like "Meinste? Ich hab's" and other things making it sound more adult and which fit better to the characters?

For example:
"Sammelt ein, was der tote Schurke und der Zauberer an Beute dabeihaben."
versus
"Pl├╝ndert die Leichen vom Schurken und Zauberer!"

The first one sounds like Punchinello in a puppet theatre, while the other one sounds like a mercenary.

Also, we should use smarter words for Forgath, than we use for MinMax. Also, i expect a more silent character like Forgath to use less words than the sometimes talkative Minmax.. The translation style has to fit to the character.

Things we have to do before we should start:

1 - get a subforum and open one thread for one page.
2 - vote on the moderators, which i think is almost done in the old thread.
3 - vote on the names since each page contains several of them.
4 - agree on a posting style like using quotations or spoilers and how many pages will be handled in one thread.


1) is up to Thunt and Shares, who was the initiator of this projekt. Until we got the subforum, i would not start with general translation. I would only do the voiting first since we have to do it any before we can really start.
2) Post from the old forum:

Discussion Moderation Vote
GathersIngredients.....3...(SharesLoot, Worst Case, SolarGranulation, Nerre)
SharesLoot.....1...(GathersIngredients)

Translation Moderation Vote
GathersIngredients.....1...(SharesLoot)
SharesLoot.....3...(GathersIngredients, Worst Case, SolarGranulation, Nerre)

Tech Stuff Moderation Vote (Now including the "No Mod" option)
Solar Granulation....1.....(Worst Case)
No Mod.....1....(SharesLoot, Nerre)

Graphical Adaption Stuff Moderation Vote (ok ok i made that up)
Nerre ...1...(Nerre)



If nobody disagrees, GathersIngredients will be the discussion moderator and SharesLoot the translation moderator. We will have no tech moderation. The graphical moderation i came up with, but if you don't want something like that, it is ok to me.
3) Todo, would suggest a seperate thread.
4) I suggest using quotations, since we don't have to pop the text blocks open and closed if we only use one thread per page. The posts would be short enough. If we put multiple pages in one thread, it will be chaotic, like you can clearly see in this thread. Then i am out of the translation work anyway, except for the graphical adaption of the text onto the pictures. Hope we can agree on the 1 page 1 thread method.

PS: Hier nochmal meine Kritik auf Deutsch, da sie im Englischen evt. zu hart oder schlecht gelaunt r├╝berkommen k├Ânnte:

► Show Spoiler

Hi Leute

k├Ânnen wir uns bitte erst auf eine Methode einigen und die notwendigen Abstimmungen beenden bevor wir anfangen?
Im PM-Gespr├ñch mit Shares schlug sie vor die Seiten gem├╝tlich nacheinander zu ├╝bersetzen, ich schlug vor wenigstens 2-3 paralell in je einem Thread zu machen, nun schaue ich heute ins Forum und es wird gleich an 10 Seiten auf einmal gearbeitet. Das ist sehr un├╝bersichtlich und st├Ârt derma├ƒen die Bearbeitung und Lesbarkeit, da├ƒ ich so nicht mit├╝bersetzen werde.
Ich f├ñnde es sch├Ân wenn wir wie Shares vorschlug eine Seite pro Thread bearbeiten w├╝rden, habe aber nichts gegen mehrere Threads gleichzeitig, da einige immer mehr Zeit haben werden als andere.
Die Spoiler und Menge der Seiten machen es einfach unlesbar und sehr nervig nachzuvollziehen, gerade wenn man mal nur kurz Zeit hat, da man die immer aufklappen und dann zwischen den Posts hin und her scrollen und die Seite mit dem gleichen Datum raussuchen muss. Das sind gleich 4 Dinge (mehre Seiten übersetzen, mehrere Übersetzer vergleichen, Spoiler aufklappen, Zuordnung einer Übersetzung einer Seite einer anderen der gleichen Seite) auf einmal die verwirren und es unübersichtlich machen, Chaos pur. Quotations genügen zur Hervorhebung bei der andern Methode, da man nur eine Seite und eine Übersetzung hat.

W├╝rde mich sehr freuen wenn wir uns auf diese ├╝bersichtlichere Version einigen k├Ânnten.

Vor allem sollten wir Ruhe bewahren, solange wir noch kein Subforum haben sollten wir mit den Seiten noch nicht im großen Stil anfangen.

Liebe Grüße
Nerre

Nerre, what are you doing?
Please stop this. Your three posts here have nothing to do with this thread in particular, they all belong into the discussion thread!

Now, please don't skip the rest, but read it!

Yes, the vote is almost over, so don't hijack the discussion by declaring the moderators. Voting will end at noon German time.

What, you even misunderstood what I wrote to you via PM in GERMAN.
I said we would have one thread for translation discussion, advancing page by page. I also wrote that we would have an index in the first post.

The only part of your three posts I completely agree with is your saying "i am out and will only do graphics. That is unreadable and totally chaotic. I don't want to sound to harsh, but that is what i think. I can't work with that chaotic style, since i would have to open two browser windows for comparing and a third for writing my response."
Yes, YOUR style is chaotic. Maybe you can improve, but currently, you are not helping. Sorry to be harsh myself, but you declared me to be a mod

Nerre, the use of spoilers is something I EXPLICITELY asked for, because it was unreadable before. If you would only start reading the thread before you post, you might stop being so disruptive.

The style of the current translation proposals is not yet up for discussion, since we planned on waiting until the Moderators have been nominated.

Until we have a subforum (if we get one), and even then, I ask you to respect the decisions of the Moderators of how we will proceed, and not repeat what you just did.

No, I did not initiate the project. Please check your facts before you write down your assumptions! The initiator of the project was GathersIngredients, who will probably be the discussion moderator. I am currently just posting as an annoyed person, I may or may not be the Translation moderator soon.

I am quite annoyed with Nerre at the moment, so if I said something hurtful or uncalled for, I am sorry. It's just that this is exactly why I called for a moderator vote - we don't want someone running wild and spreading chaos.

@Shares: Ja, das fand ich "hurtful or uncalled" und ich bin gekr├ñnkt. Ich w├╝hle mich durch zig Seiten mit ewig langen Posts in denen es hin und her geht und zwar Vorschl├ñge gemacht werden, aber nicht immer klre Entscheidungen zu finden sind. Dann hei├ƒt es dies, gemacht wird aber das Gegenteil. Ich habe da als sch├Ânes Freizeitprojekt gesehen, weil ich eben gerne grafisch etwas mache und helfen wollte. Du kannst nicht erwarten da├ƒ jemand eben mal so die ganze History liest und sie dann komplett auswendig kann. Wenn dann noch auf gut gemeinte Verbesserungsvorschl├ñge so ein Angriff kommt, bin ich betroffen und sauer. Der Post war fast von Anfang an un├╝bersichtlich weil es um zig Seiten ging. Ich schaue bei ├£bersetzer rein, klicke den ersten Spoiler auf, mu├ƒ dann beim n├ñchsten Suchen welcher die gleiche Seite ├╝bersetzt, und sp├ñter kommen noch mehr Seiten dazu. Wer soll das ├╝berblicken? Wie soll man 10 ├£bersetzungen mit 5+ Leuten gleichzeitig diskutieren? Das sind bis zu 50 Baustellen die da aufgemacht werden, da jeder mit jedem jede Seite diskutieren kann. Ich kann alleine an 10 Baustellen arbeiten, oder mit 5 Leuten an einer. Aber 50 sind mir zu viel.

Ich will ja auch nicht drängeln, sondern es nur etwas entwirren.

Gruß

Whatever.

I'll start with the translations of the next pages (thanks for the new transcripts Gathers). As usual I'll edit this post while the work is in progress.



http://www.goblinscomic.com/07222005/

Spoiler: show



G1 (Ohrring unten): Der kommt ja doch nicht! Der hat viel zu viel Bammel vor der Wahrsagerin.
G2 (Ohrring oben): Er kommt bestimmt!

Chef: Hier bin ich!
- Würde mir jetzt bitte irgendjemand erklären warum wir uns unbedingt heimlich treffen müssen?

G1: Das ist so, H├ñuptling, wir drei haben versucht uns ein paar effektivere Methoden zu ├╝berlegen, wie wir morgen mit den Abenteurern fertigwerden k├Ânnen.
- Aber da unsere Wahrsagerin ja alles haßt, was mit der Tradition bricht, wollten wir es erst mal heimlich mit Dir absprechen.

Chef: Verstehe.

G1: Jeder von uns hat einen Plan!
- Der erste ist von Patzer.

Chef: Okay, Patzer, wie lautet...

Chef: ...Dein...

Chef: ...Plan?


http://www.goblinscomic.com/07232005/

Spoiler: show



Patzer: Also, wir alle werden diese falschen Schnurrbärte tragen.
- Ich habe einen ganzen Haufen davon, selbstgemacht aus Wildschweinborsten!

Chef: Arghh!
- Patzer, Goblins haben keine Gesichtsbehaarung!

Patzer: Exakt!
- Diese Abenteuerer suchen ja schließlich nach einem Lager voller Goblins! Stell Dir also ihre Verwirrung vor, wenn sie stattdessen jede Menge haarige Individuen herumstehen sehen.
- Sie werden denken wir wären Zwerge oder so und wieder abziehen.

G2: Aber haben Zwerge nicht Vollbärte?

G1: Ich dachte Kender hätten Vollbärte.
Patzer: Nein, ihre Witze haben Bärte
G1: Ach, ja, stimmt ja.

Chef: Verdammt, Patzer! Diese Abenteurer werden nicht einfach verwirrt abziehen, nur weil wir alle ein paar total alberne Schnurrbärte tragen!

Patzer: Deshalb werden wir ja auch alle Decknamen benutzen!
G2: Ja klar!



http://www.goblinscomic.com/07242005/

Spoiler: show



Chef: das ist der d├╝mmste Plan den ich je geh├Ârt habe! Selbst wenn die anderen beiden Pl├ñne f├╝rchterlich sein sollten, w├╝rde ich sie noch diesem Schnurrbartplan vorziehen!

G2: Also, mein Plan ist aber wirklich clever.
G1: Er hat recht, Häuptling.
-Sein Plan ist wirklich schlau.
(spitzer Stock vs spitzes St├Âckchen, ich bin f├╝r St├Âckchen, weil es den ganzen Plan noch l├ñcherlicher aussehen l├ñ├ƒt.)
G2: Wir benutzen dieses spitze St├Âckchen hier, dass ich gefunden habe und legen es mitten auf den Weg, der in unser Lager f├╝hrt. Die Abenteurer werden es finden und aufheben...
- ... und das ist das geniale daran ...

G2: ... es ist wirklich sehr spitz. Also wird sich mindestens einer von ihnen damit verletzen.

Chef: Das ist der schlaue Plan? Ein"spitzes" St├Âckchen?
G2: Ein sehr spitzes St├Âckchen!
G1: Es stimmt, Häuptling, ich hab' mir heute Morgen versehentlich damit in die Hand gestochen.

Chef: Seufz.

Chef: Her damit!
('erfahren' paßt hier nicht, die Goblins wissen ja, dass Minmax & Co alle erst Lv1 sind.)
Chef: Wir haben es hier mit ausgebildeten Kriegern zu tun. Sie werden nicht einfach irgendein seltsames St├Âckchen aufheben, nur weil es irgendwo auf dem Weg liegt!

Chef: Und sie werden sich ganz sicher nicht versehentlich selbst...

Chef: AHHH! Mein Auge! Ich hab' mir in mein verdammtes Auge gestochen!

Chef: Au! *4

G2: Ihr alle! Werdet Zeugen der Macht des St├Âckchens!
Chef: Au! *5

G2: Kann ich mein St├Âckchen zur├╝ckhaben?
Chef: Nein!

Chef: Andererseits,ja, nimm Du es!

Chef: Ich kann nicht glauben, dass ich ├╝berhaupt frage aber wie lautet der dritte Abenteurer-Abwehr Plan?

G1: Mein Plan besteht aus einer Folge von sorgf├ñltig berechneten Kampfman├Âvern, die in mehreren Phasen ablaufen werden.
Chef: Hmmm... Mir gefällt die Richtung in die das läuft.

G1: Phase Eins... Wir alle reiben uns mit unseren eigenen Fäkalien ein. (Translation suggestion: Wir alle wälzen uns in unseren eigenen Fäkalien.)
Chef: Das wars!

Erzähler: Später...
Chef: Das sollte besser funktionieren, Patzer.
Patzer: Ich sagte doch schon: In dieser Verkleidung bin ich Senor Vorpal Kickass'o! (Translation suggestions so far: El Voll Krass'o der Henker, Meister des Hinrichtungshinterntritts, Herr Letal Arschversohler, Senor Arschtritt R├╝be ab)

- Added some of the suggestions provided by Nerre
- Corrected some typos
- Changed some minor phrases.
- Put in the vote-names, we still need a translation for the Senor, though.

Worsts translation is already pretty good, so i am only pointing out the parts for which i would suggest something else.
Worsts Übersetzung ist schonmal recht gut, daher würde ich nur die Stellen rausdeuten bei denen ich Alternativvorschläge hätte.

http://www.goblinscomic.com/07222005/

Spoiler: show



G1 (Ohrring unten): Der kommt ja doch nicht! Der hat viel zu viel Angst vor der Wahrsagerin. <= wie wäre es mit Bammel? Ist umgangssprachlicher und passt gut zum Niveau der Unterhaltung bzw. der genialen Ideen.
G2 (Ohrring oben): Er kommt bestimmt!

Chef: Also hier bin ich! <= Das "also" w├╝rde ich weglassen, ein knappes "Da bin ich!" reicht.
- Würde mir jetzt bitte irgendjemand erklären warum wir uns unbedingt heimlich treffen müssen?

G1: Das ist so, Chef, wir drei haben versucht uns ein paar effektivere Methoden zu ├╝berlegen, wie wir morgen mit den Abenteurern fertigwerden k├Ânnen.
- Aber da unsere Wahrsagerin ja alles haßt, was mit der Tradition bricht, wollten wir es erst mal heimlich mit Dir absprechen.

Chef: Verstehe.

G1: Jeder von uns hat einen Plan!
- Der erste ist von Patzer.

Chef: Okay, Patzer, wie lautet...

Chef: ...Dein...

Chef: ...Plan?

Patzer: Also, wir alle werden diese flschen Schnurrbärte tragen.
- Ich habe einen ganzen Haufen davon, selbstgemacht aus Wildschweinborsten!

Chef: Arghh!
- Patzer, Goblins haben keine Gesichtsbehaarung!

Patzer: Exakt!
- Diese Abenteuerer suchen ja schließlich nach einem Lager voller Goblins! Stell Dir also ihre Verwirrung vor, wenn sie stattdessen jede Menge haarige Individuen herumstehen sehen.
- Sie werden denken wir wären Zwerge oder so und wieder abziehen.

G2: Aber haben Zwerge nicht Vollbärte?

G1: Ich dachte Kender hätten Vollbärte.
Patzer: Nein, ihre Witze haben Bärte
G1: Ach, ja, stimmt ja.

Chef: Verdammt, Patzer! Diese Abenteurer werden nicht einfach verwirrt abziehen, nur wenn wir alle ein paar total unecht aussehende Schnurrb├ñrte tragen! <= ...werden sich nicht verwirrt zur├╝ckziehen, nur weil (nicht wenn) wir alle total l├ñcherliche Schnurrb├ñrte tragen! (Was haltet ihr von l├ñcherlich an dieser Stelle statt dem wortw├Ârtlichen total unecht?)

Patzer: Deshalb werden wir ja auch alle Decknamen benutzen!
G2: Na klar doch... <= Ja klar! (Ich weiß nicht welcher Komiker das war, aber ich finde das Zitat passt hier super.

Chef: das ist der d├╝mmste Plan den ich je geh├Ârt habe! Selbst wenn die anderen beiden Pl├ñne f├╝rchterlich sein sollten, w├╝rde ich sie noch diesem Schnurrbartplan vorziehen!

G2: Also, mein Plan ist aber wirklich clever.
G1: Er hat recht, Chef.
-Sein Plan ist wirklich schlau.

G2: Wir benutzen dieses spitze St├Âckchen hier, dass ich gefunden habe und legen es mitten auf den Weg, der in unser Lager f├╝hrt. Die Abenteurer werden es finden und aufheben...
- ... und das ist das geniale daran ... <= w├╝rde auf die Verniedlichung verzichten und es einfach "spitzen Stock" nennen.

G2: ... es ist wirklich sehr spitz. Also wird sich mindestens einer von ihnen damit verletzen.

Chef: Das ist der schlaue Plan? Ein"spitzes" St├Âckchen?<= w├╝rde auf die Verniedlichung verzichten und es einfach "spitzen Stock" nennen.
G2: Ein sehr spitzes St├Âckchen!<= w├╝rde auf die Verniedlichung verzichten und es einfach "spitzen Stock" nennen.[/b]

Chef: Seufz.

Chef: Gib mir das! <= Gib her! is more a short and fast spoken expression in rage.

Hier geht es aber um die ganze Gruppe der Abenteurer. Au├ƒerdem h├ñngt krieger sowas mittelalterliches/barbarisches an, a la Conan der Barbar, finde ich. und nat├╝rlich wieder das St├Âckchen.

Chef: Und sie werden sich ganz sicher nicht versehentlich selbst...

Can't find anything i would change for your translation on that comic.

PS: Ist es in diesem Format ok? Oder sollte jeder lieber eine komplett eigenständige Übersetzung anbieten statt einzelne Änderungsvorschläge zu machen?

IMO, as long as you transcibe or translate here, you can do it in any format you like. I suggested the spoiler tags to enable users to only display the texts that interest them, but you are free to use them or not.

This is the unmoderated thread, from which I will take your suggestions into the moderated thread here once we get there.

ok thanks. I would suggest putting only the english original into spoilers (since we don't need them all the time). But the german translation is what this is all about, so i tend to not put in spoilers. The mix of quotes and spoilers works well. But i will bow to the majority.

R├╝ckblende-Minmax: Was auch immer, Forgath. Ich werde jedenfalls die Augen offen halten und mein Schwert sowas von ziehen, f├╝r den Fall, dass pl├Âtzlich D├ñmonen aus dem Boden kriechen oder sowas. (Well I made some changes, too, but I mostly took Nerres' text.)

Latin Goblins Project

Postby lunarhalo ┬╗ Mon Apr 30, 2012 3:32 pm
Sure it's a dead language, but a Latin version of Goblins could be useful in currying favor with Jesuits or perhaps in a time travel/alternate reality scenario involving ancient Rome. I've gone ahead and translated the first page.

Well, it is real latin... Pig Latin

Wikipedia wrote:The reference to Latin is a deliberate misnomer, as it is simply a form of jargon, used only for its English connotations as a "strange and foreign-sounding language. [...] Thomas Jefferson wrote letters to friends in Pig Latin.


Pig Latin has been around nigh on 150 years, and known widespread use.

Just kidding! Great that you like it. It is very close to Portugese, right? Or do you speak Latin?
The translation is a bit simplified, though, because I don't speak any Latin myself and had to use Google and a dictionary. I didn't want too many mistakes

No, no, I don't speak latin. Some words are just like they are in Portuguese and the others I get there by context and sound. So don't know about possible mistakes either, but still awesome. "Auxilium" - just perfect.

Like Maiandra, and for the same reasons, I was also disappointed with the Pig Latin version, although I did get a smile looking at it, probably for some of the wrong reasons, but anyway... I've forgotten much of my Latin, but I think I remember enough to know 'Auxilium' is a noun, and although the English "help" can be either a noun or a verb, I'd think an imperative verb is meant in the original "prayer" ("help [me]!", not " help!"). "[To] help" is '[ad]iuvare', so maybe 'Iuva!' would be better? When using Google translate, it helps to click on the translated words to look for alternatives, or translate from different source languages and match results... In the same way, "pray or run" should probably be "aut ora aut curre", or maybe a coniunctive form of the verbs would be used, as the whole rule is refering to a speculative situation. I guess I know enough to realise I don't know enough to actually properly translate the comic to Latin..

In that context the portuguese word "auxilio" which derives from auxilium (and can also be a verb and a noun) could be used, however there is a much more modern word (ajuda) that would be more commonly used. So for me who has no idea what is a noun or a verb in latin it was just pure joy

Re: Latin Goblins Project

Postby luteijn ┬╗ Tue May 08, 2012 9:11 pm
As it's part of modern romance languages, I suppose there eventually would have been a verb 'auxiliare' in Latin too, although I'd guess adiuvare (which I think is the ancestor of ajudar, ayuda, aiuto, ajutor, aider, to aid, etc. etc. so ajudar might not be as modern as you make it out to be ) would be the older and more common word used, and this 'auxiliare' "to help" would be derived from the help given in combat by the 'auxilia', troops consisting of non-Romans that could augment their honor (and gain citizenship) through service, ('auxilium' derives from the verb 'augere' to augment), not the other way around. The imperative would be 'Auxilia!' then.

I wonder if something as basic as a call for help, where it is important that everyone understands what you mean, would easily be modernized. Still, you can see different words being used here: http://www.omniglot.com/language/phrases/help.htm ; another latin verb, 'succurrere' (to run to give support) seems to be the basis for the call for aid in some cases, too.

this is very cool.

Oh, they have Catalan too

Catalan is derived from latin too and of course has similar words with some other languages too. For me who speaks both portuguese and spanish since a very young age and had 4 years of french, to hear catalan is surreal as I understand almost everything but have absolutely no idea of how I do it or how to speak it I also have a very hard time trying to read it.

Once you know a couple of European languages, reading Esperanto (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto#Sample_text ) has the same kind of 'hey, I can actually understand most of this stuff', and so has the 'jumbled together but still readable' text for example found here http://www.snopes.com/language/apocryph/cambridge.asp . Unfortunately, this doesn't work for trying to read e.g. Chinese or Japanese, although I suppose it does make it easier to learn a new language if you already have learned several languages, even if they aren't related at all, just on a different level..

A weekend has gone by...
Fighting is a project killer, and I don't want to be that girl.

My apology still stands. If you, Nerre, or anyone else, still has/have issues with me, feel free to discuss it with me via PM or here.

I now think we should let everybody do things their way and not cramp anyone's style, as long as the result is presentable and somewhat consistent.
Rather than let the project suffer or die because I wanted to do things in a more complicated manner, I will shut up and only comment on actual problems.

I suggest we make SolarGreanulation "Head of Project Technology" now
As we all saw, I and Nerre make a Tech Mod necessary
Any objections?

I redid it again. This time with slightly larger text like Shares suggested. It did fit for nearly all bubbles, but i fear it might force us to shorten the german translation later for longer text passages to come.
It is size 13 for normal text and the bookcover, and 14 for the rule and the SFX sounds. 22 for the scream.

Hope we can use this now a the final version so Solar can do the html overlay with the original comic. (Edit: Firefox makes the book cover on the right side look corrupted in the SVG, even if it is not as you can see in the PNG. Please ignore that.)

And i put in 3 layers, even if i still think it's more work than neccesary.

Was anything wrong with my version (see below; download)?

This is what it looks like including the comic. The download file contains the bare PNG overlay (file with transparency for placement over the comic image) the SVG file and the original comic JPG.

EDITED for more polite/careful wording (thanks, SG!)

Unless there are any objections, I at this point accept the mantle of "Head of Project Technology". Thank you.

SharesLoot wrote:I do not understand why you redid it again...


Please be careful how you phrase such things, Shares, as this could easily flare up into more argument.

As it stands, for this page, we have ample material and at least one perfectly usable version. As HoPT I am happy with what we have. I also believe that the translation is finalised. Therefore, I think we should leave it at what we have and I'll choose a version to use. Thank you both, and all translators, for your efforts.

For the next page, what I would like is this...

SharesLoot, I want you to make an overlay for the speech bubbles.
Nerre, I would like you to concentrate all of your efforts on the last panel, wherein Thunt placed the original title.

Please both rely on the appropriate translation posts for how this will be done. I stay out of those threads.

I want to take this approach for two reasons. 1) It looks to me like a good division of labour. 2) It lets us all take a look at what you both do with another page.

Yes, the covers of the book where of different font size. the last and third one looked like you forgot to edit it, since it looks like my inital version when the font size was too small.

No harm done, i saw it, i changed it.

By the way: if something looks strange with my PNG, please press F5. I did not change the filename, only replace it. So maybe you need to reload it.

Thanks for the feedback, SG, I edited my post.

Page 2 contains little text, but hardly anyone voted on the text yet (just me and WorstCase), so I postponed finalizing the page for another 24 hours.

I like the "division of labor" approach a lot.
I will upload my SVG draft of the current translation of page 2, so Nerre has the option to use it for doing the last panel.
If you prefer creating a separate file, Nerre, I'm sure SG will have no trouble combining them.

Nerre wrote:Yes, the covers of the book where of different font size. the last and third one looked like you forgot to edit it, since it looks like my inital version when the font size was too small.


Ah! I see. But that was absolutely intentional on my part. The book changes size because it's sometimes higher and maybe closer, then lower. Having the text in one size in this case makes it look less realistic IMO. That's just my opinion, though, and maybe you are completely right. SolarGranulation said that he will use what he thinks is best.

In your new SVG version, the first book title text still looks unusual to me. Do you use a different browser than Firefox? No matter at what zoom level, it looks strange on my screen.

So, will there be any "universal" rules for how to create the translation overlay "pictures" or will everyone do them as they see fit?
Because I can see merit in making them all the same (general) way. On the other hand, it doesn't really concern me, since I won't be doing them anyways, so I am not going to make a fuss either way.
But I would be happy to put anything you can agree on into the first post of this thread for you.


I think it's a good thing that we now have a Tech Mod, too, as there seems to be a good deal of communication problems, and/or different ideas how to do things.
I am very sorry that I wasn't there in time to do my duties as a moderator, and I would like to thank Worst and SG for stepping in.

Nerre, Shares, as much as I am impressed by your enthusiasm and your energy for this project, I would like to ask you very kindly to keep in mind that, as long as there was no vote to agree on a certain modus operandi, all methods are equally to be regarded, taken into consideration and tried out. Voicing one's ideas and opinions might help us find even better ways to do things. Bickering about things or patronizing each other doesn't help anyone. So please, everyone, please refrain from using phrases that others might consider aggressive and keep in mind, that this is not about who is right, who knows more about these things or who had the (best) idea first. I hope I managed to phrase this somewhat diplomatically and that none of you feel offended.

Remember: this is a project born from the love that all of us feel for the wonderful comic THunt supplies us with. We want to work together to make it available to people who speak mainly German. So let's help each other in order to help those poor guys, who can't talk/read English well enough to enjoy the comic.

Here is my draft (Entwurf) of the second page - the ZIP file includes the original JPG, the SVG and a PNG export:
20050627DE-draftSL.zip

The actual text is still being voted on, especially the terribly long word "Gelegenheitsangriff" (AOO in English - 3 words).

I also did the last panel, because the leafy "Goblins" needs no changing, only the subtitle - sorry for going against instructions, SG, this just wasn't any extra work.
BUT: I did not translate the skewed and nearly illegible title of the flying book. This would be a job for our graphics artist - Nerre could you do that? Alternatively, we could just ignore the book title.

Also, Nerre, feel free to improve the SVG if you see any reason to change what I suggest.

There is only the small text "life trough their eyes" to be translated, right? I don't think i have to do anythink with the "GOBLINS".

I changed a few things from Shares suggestion. First, i put the translated text on the flying book. I wanted to ignore it but people notice 2 words instead of 3.

Then i increased the distance between the words for "Das Leben aus ihrer Sicht" and set the fontsize on 14, like we used for the "Faustregel" on the last page, since i think it is the same category of text. With those two changes, the words cover up the original line very closely.

The text has not been modified, so we can finalize this page. I updated my suggestion with Nerre's nice rendition of the book title.

I think that the subtitle looks better if the word spacing remains normal, and I left my speech bubbles the way I made them, but that is a matter of taste.

SolarGranulation, you now have two complete overlay files and SVG source files, the choice is yours.

Work on the page 3 translation will begin in a few minutes.

Not "still" but "again"
I had some RL stress and couldn't visit for a while
Am catching up reading the relevant threads right now.

Aside note: I find it hard to follow the status of the various translated snippets.
Maybe everybody can keep his/her first post in a translation thread edited to reflect their current thinking of what would be the best translation.

On Nerre/Shares: That was an awesome deescalation, Shares.
In general, I think everybody should mention why they changed something. I was missing that in several posts and instantly felt unsure about the significance of changes.

On technical issues [UPDATED]:
I like the three-layer approach: Original as a background, white-out layer, translated text layer.
I also agree with the sentiment that the SVG should, if at all possible, be kept hand-editable. People without SVG editor skills can check translations, it's easier to find the terms that we might decide we want changed after all, etc. In my eyes, it would be enough if the translated text layer is hand-editable though (we'd want to change text, not coordinates).
That's just about SVG that we use to work on the translation. When it's done, the SVG should have the original removed and the remaining two layers condensed to a single, partially-transparent PNG. (If Inkscape can't automate those steps, I'll try my hand at a script solution. Something like an SVG directory and a script that will check file modification dates and regenerate the PNG files that are missing or outdated. We don't want to spend time on technicalities like that.)

On existing translations:
(Please direct me to the proper thread if this is the wrong one)
The initial wall-of-text has quite a few missing commas that I'll annotate as I find the time.
It is also hard to read. Can the person with the SVG try experimenting with more inter-line spacing ("Durchschuss") please? Just increase it a tiny bit, I bet it's going to look MUCH better that way.
We could also try to reword the text in a more concise manner. That would give room for readability improvements.

First of all: welcome back! I'm glad you didn't abandon the project

The "initial wall-of-text" has been filed away for now. Thunt added it later, once his art had evolved quite a bit, and it contributes little to the beginning of the story. In the official translation thread, I decided that we would do that page once we are through with the black&white pages, before we get to the colored part. I created the original SVG test file (it was nothing more than a draft), and I am also responsible for the partially wrong lack of commas. We will rework that page together, once we get to it, I promise. The line spacing will be reviewed too.

I agree with everything else you wrote.
In the official translation thread, I try to keep the initial post for the page up to date so everyone can see the current (i.e. final, once we begin the next page) version.
I am the one who edits their posts most often, IMO, and I try to mark the parts I changed clearly, since I already received criticism for it. If you have any suggestiond, feel free to voice them.

Um, about the SVG bit: We do not actually include the original JPG in the SVG, we only link to a local copy (I always remove the path, so the SVG works in any folder as long as the JPG is there as well). I'd like to keep it that way to simplify future changes.
Nerre and I routinely do the PNG export bit while hiding the comic layer, no reason to delete the image. I don't think a script is needed for those two clicks.

Thanks, I'm feeling right home again

About the editable posts, I was thinking along the lines of "everybody reserve their first post in a translation work for their current status".
I'm not sure it's a good idea though. All I can say for sure right now is that trying to catch up with the discussion by reading the thread posts is hard. I have a nagging suspicion that it's also an entry barrier for new contributors.
I'll think a bit more about that, and watch for any good ideas that might come.

Thanks for not fretting over my absence... I'll just treat this as something positive. After all, I did say I was going to be away last week. Stupid intestines, they cut short my vacation. Anyway, I'm fine now.

It's good to be back!


Seems you guys focused on name translation and further transcriptions/pretranslation while I was gone - great!

Okay, I don't intend to spam posts (i.e. post repeatedly after my own posts), but the last post here (by me) is a week old!

We have finished Page 4 in the discussion thread, time to make the SVG master file and the transparent PNG overlay... Nerre, are you up to it?

Guys&gals,

as some may have noticed, I have fallen silent for a while now. Other things have been demanding my attention, and while I have been hoping that they'd become less, it seems things are getting more. I have finally forced myself to make some hard decisions, and since the GTP does not really depend on me, it didn't make it to the shortlist.

So, good luck, and working with you was fun, and please continue to have fun with this!

Regards,
Elvors

P.S.: Don't worry about me, I'm fine
I have more exciting and fun things on my list than I can do in a lifetime; it's just that priorities got rearranged.

Hi guys!

How do you feel about getting this going again?

Nerre, you could create the page overlays for pages 4, 5 and 6 (start with page 4 here, you can use the navigation arrows or the table of contents in my sig for pages 5 and 6).

Hast du Lust? Ich w├╝rde mich freuen!

SolarGranulation, what's the status on your end of things?

We're currently finalizing pages 7 & 8. I was on vacation for two weeks and the GTP will pick up speed again now.

@Maiandra; i have nothing really against zeuren, but i feel klagen sounds more neutral than zeuren which feels a bit femine. But real men don't complain anyway.

I actually could also dig zagen and zeiken, though zeiken is a bit dialect-ish.

Zeiken is also used for pissing, so maybe not. Zagen wouldn't be really used that way in Dutch - doorzagen, we would use when someone keeps going on about something (of course, it also means 'to saw through something'). I've always preferred Zeurt over Klaagt simply for the sound of it, but a lot of people seem to prefer Klaagt, so I think I'm in the minority there.

Perhaps, but we can hardly claim to be a representative part of the dutch speaking population here, our sample group is too small. Let's allow some more people to mull it over. He doesn't appear until page four, after all.

On a different note: would anyone like me to make them a sig picture? Doesn't have to look in any way, shape or form like mine, just tell me what you want and I'll see how close I can get.

I'm holding a little poll under my Dutch friends to see how they would translate 'complaining'. One of them said Zeuren, one said Klagen, and one said it could be either depending on the situation - he said that it would be Klagen if it were more official, or something everyone would agree was worth complaining about; on the other hand, he said that Zeuren would be if it were one person just complaining about stuff nobody else really cared about.

I'm waiting for some more responses.

Do you have a preference for what it should look like, Asks? Main colours? Size? Favourite gag/character/panel in the comic? PM me, ok? I'm going to get back to our list of names now.

A new compilation, new comments by me are coloured

Names that we're no longer discussing (this list is currently unchanged from the last time I posted it):
Spoiler: hide
Chief Chef
Fumbles Stuntel
Young and Beautiful Jong en Beeldschoon
Forgath
Seth Bainwraith
Minmax
Walter Wouter
Herbert
Senor Vorpal Kickass'o
Klik
Kore
Crunk
Thaco
Taps Tikt
Chief Kills-a-Werebear Chef Doodt-een-Weerbeer
Listens-Intently Luistert-Aandachtig
Happy-Coincidence Gelukkig-Toeval
(Takes?) Chances (Neemt) Risico's
Aldyria

Names that I think can now be added if there are no strong objections:
Spoiler: hide
Asks Nonsense Vraagt Onzin
Runs-With-Scissors Rent-Met-Scharen (I would like to keep the option open to revisit this name if someone comes up with something more appropriate to the "doing something dangerous" meaning of the name, is that ok? For now this does seem like the best choice.)
Tempts Faith Tart-Het-Lot (if we ever get round to translating those)
Dies Horribly Sterft Gruwelijk

Names where only Asks has a different preference, so I would say: Asks, please have a look at them and see if you want to let us move it up or try to convince us.
Spoiler: hide
Tempts Death Speelt-Met-Zijn-Leven (Narie, Maiandra, Sleaw) / Riskeert-Zijn-Leven (Asks)
One-Eye E├®noog (Asks)/ E├®n-Oog (Narie, Sleaw, Maiandra)
Drasst Don't Sue Drasst Klaagme'nietaan (Sleaw, Shares, Narie, Maiandra, Sewarrat) of niet vertalen (Asks)

Apparantly, you can't put a spoiler in a spoiler, so I'm posting the comments smaller:
Maiandra: Ik vind hem eigenlijk het grappigst als hij niet vertaald wordt, omdat Drizz't ook uit de Engelse literatuur komt
Narie: en in Nederlands wordt de naam te lang denk ik, daarnaast niet bekend met Drizz't.
Sleaw: We zouden eventueel Drasst Klaagme'nietaan kunnen doen om de grap wat duidelijker mee te geven. Misschien is dat te lang? Het wordt maar 1 keer genoemd geloof ik.
Shares: Drasst Klaagme'nietaan sounds so sweet, I want to move from the GTP to the DTP
Maiandra: Either works, I still prefer leaving it in english, but I can definitely life with this translation
Narie: I like Drasst Klaagme'nietaan if it doesn't get too long for the speach bubbles, otherwise don't translate, so voting for Drasst Klaagme'nietaan for now, which would make a mayority.
Sleaw: I agree with Narie. If the translation fits, it would be nice, but otherwise we can leave it as is.
Maiandra: since a lot of people are in favour of it, let's translate it unless we really can't make it fit (but I believe we can, because he is an unimportant character, so whatever else he says could be shortened if it needs to be)


Which leaves:

Big Ears Groot-Oor (Sleaw, Maiandra, Narie) / Flapoor (Asks, Sleaw, Maiandra, Sewarrat)
Spoiler: hide
Sleaw: Groot-Oor is het dichtst bij het origineel en het feitelijkst, maar Flapoor en Lang-Oor hebben wel wat. Ik kan met alledrie prima leven.
Maiandra: I like both Groot-Oor and Flapoor
Narie: I suggest taking out Lang-Oor because just 1 vote, leaving just 2 options. I really don't like Flapoor to be honest.
Sleaw: Flapoor appeals to me because Ears is a kind, friendly character, and Flapoor is a bit of an innocent name, like you might give a plushie. Groot-Oor is okay too, but all the o's in there make it look a tad weird. At any rate, most of the time he'll be called 'Oor' anyway, right? They call him Ears all the time.
Sewarrat: I prefer Flapoor, because it contains more of a dutch expression, Grootoor sounds to much like a literal translation.

Can't-Think-of-a-Name-'cause-he-looks-like-a-regular-guy kan niks bedenken ziet er dood normaal uit (Asks) / Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-doodgewoon (Sleaw, Maiandra, Narie) / Ik-kan-niks-bedenken-want-hij-lijkt-een-doodnormale-vent (Luteijn)
Spoiler: hide
Narie: Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-op-een-normaal-persoon lijkt meer op origineel
Maiandra: If you want to hang on to the "guy", then I would suggest "kerel", because it is less stiff than "persoon" and closer to the meaning of "guy" rather than "person". It does make the name longer again, though.
Sleaw: Doodgewoon vind ik beter dan normaal - 'heel normaal' klinkt voor mij als 'niks mis mee', terwijl 'doodgewoon' meer iets heeft van 'niks speciaals'.
Maiandra: I have a preference for Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-doodgewoon
Luteijn: We seem to have enough space for Ik-kan-niks-bedenken-want-hij-lijkt-een-doodnormale-vent
Narie: I scratch my original votes and move it to: Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-doodgewoon

Complains of Names We've just had a discussion about this that I don't want to repeat here. No idea how to correctly sum up everybody's preferences, so I've left them out.

Hawl the Trader Hawl de Handelaar (Narie, Sleaw, Shares) / Hawl de Voddenvent (Asks) / A name that also translates Hawl (Maiandra, Sewarrat, Luteijn)
Spoiler: hide
Maiandra: I prefer Hawl de Voddenvent: he trades in junk, so his wares are "vodden", however I can see that the goblins don't see it that way
Sleaw: I think Hawl should be 'Hawl de Handelaar', because that's what the Goblins call him in English as well. Next to that it alliterates, and 'voddenvent' is kind of a weird word to me anyway (I knew 'vodden' could be old clothes and textile but I didn't even know it could mean junk in general until I looked it up)
Shares: The Goblins see him as a trader, as does he himself. After all, he gets valuable wares for his "Vodden", right? The only ones to see him as a Voddenvent are the readers (and, of course, Complains, who is too intelligent for Goblin tradition). So +1 to "Hawl de Handelaar"
Orzahn: Hawl de Handelaar sounds good too me mostly due to the alliteration going on btw (and we can't translate this properly) isn't Hawl a phonetic joke? like Haul, as in Hauling stuff around ?
Luteijn: I've always seen Hawl as a pun on Haul, so even if the author didn't consciously put it there, that makes at least two of us... Maybe we could name him some phonetic variant of Zeul, Sleep or Sleur? We'd lose the alliteration, which might be a good thing, although it is not as jarring as a rhyming name... Just not Sleur de Leurder (Leuren- to peddle) as it introduces rhyming .
Maiandra: I never noticed the pun before, but I do really like rhymes / alliterations. Heul de Handelaar would have my preference, but I just looked it up, and apparently "ergens mee heulen" in the sense of "trying to sell something" is not in the dictionary. Must be a very local usage or just something I've always gotten wrong. I do like Sleur de Leurder then, I have to admit.
Narie: I agree with Shares, it is mainly about how he sees himself in my opinion.
Sleaw: Like I said, I think Hawl de Handelaar is fine, but I'm open for other options. I actually think the alliteration in this or Sleur de Leurder is nice. It's a bit corny, but that fits the early stages of the comic just fine.
Sewarrat: I like Hawl de Handelaar, but also like to change Hawl as Luteijn proposed. How about Zul?
Maiandra: I did not add Sleur de Leurder because Luteijn expressly said he didn't want it. I am not opposed to using Hawl de Handelaar, but it would be a pity to lose the pun, so I'm hoping that we'll still find something nice.

Sticks Stokke (Sleaw, Maiandra) / Stok (Narie, Sleaw, Maiandra, Asks) / Kleeft (Luteijn) / Plakt (Maiandra, Luteijn)
Spoiler: hide
Narie: Sticks is zÔÇÖn hele naam? Dan klopt Stok als enige naar mijn mening.
Maiandra: He is only ever called "Sticks", but that doesn't mean it has to come from "one stick, two sticks" (although also having a character there called "boulder" sort of suggests that), it could also come from the verb "to stick". I'm perfectly happy with Stok or Stokke (sounds very flemish )
Luteijn: Many names seem to be verbs in the third person, so perhaps Kleeft of Plakt is better than Stokken; it would help to have a list of what was meant by the author, like Tolkien provided for translating of his Hobbit stories.
Narie: I agree it depends on what Thunt meant. If anybody could supply me with the link as which comic he is in, I can ask Thunt.
(I assume that you will let us know if and when he gets back to you?)

Boulder Rotsblok (Sleaw, Narie) / Kei (Maiandra, Sewarrat, Asks)
Spoiler: hide
Narie: voorkeur voor Rotsblok
Sleaw: Either option works for me.
Sewarrat: I don't think Rots and Rotsblok really capture the name of Boulder. How about Kei?

Targoth Bladebeard Zwaardbaard (Maiandra, Narie, Sleaw, Sewarrat) / Klingbaard (Orzahn, Luteijn) of niet vertalen (Asks)
Spoiler: hide
Maiandra: Vertalen hoeft niet, maar ik vind het leuk om te verwijzen naar Zwartbaard/Blauwbaard (van de sprookjes)
Narie: Zwaardbaard klinkt het best
Sleaw: Zwaardbaard is mooi!
Orzahn: "Klingbaard or Klingenbaard"?
Luteijn: Zwaardbaard adds a rhyme where there's none in the original, to me a rhyming name sounds cheap. I'd prefer Klingbaard over it. Lemmetbaard for me just doesn't flow very nice...
Sleaw: Avoiding alliteration or rhyming on purpose is just as silly as putting it in on purpose. As is, I like these names for how they sound, and considering how many of the names in Goblins are jokes to begin with I see no problem with the names of some minor characters rhyming or having alliteration. That said, 'Klingbaard' does sound good as well, so I'm fine with either of those.
Sewarrat: I prefer Zwaardbaard, because it flows better. Klingbaard sounds a bit off in my opinion.

Too-Shy-to-Show-Himself Te-Verlegen (Narie) / Te-Verlegen-Om-Zich-Te-Tonen (Sleaw?) / Blijft-Liever-Uit-Beeld (Sewarrat, Maiandra, Sleaw, Asks)
Spoiler: hide
Maiandra: Ik denk dat de kortste naam veruit de beste is, omdat hij een ├®├®nmalig personage is en we rekening moeten houden met de grootte van de tekstbalonnen
Narie: agreed
Sleaw: I don't recall where this guy showed up, but would Te-Verlegen be clear enough as a joke? At any rate, the other options may be too long, in which case there isn't much choice.
Sewarrat: I think Te-Verlegen-Om-Zich-Te-Laten-Zien is the best option if it is to long i would propose something along the lines of Blijft-Liever-Uit-Beeld.
Maiandra: I have looked for it, but couldn't find the page. It's a scene where Chief and (I think) Young-and-Beautiful are discussing where the goblins will defend the war camp. I prefer Blijft-Liever-Uit-Beeld, it introduces a joke in that I think that particular goblin is not seen again during the battle (we'd have to make sure), unless there isn't room.

Eats-Anything Eet-Alles (Narie) / Eet-Vanalles (Maiandra, Sleaw, Sewarrat, Asks)
Spoiler: hide
Sleaw: Het gaat hier niet per se om veel eten of 'alles wat er is' eten, maar om alles wat je ziet in je mond te proppen.
Sleaw: I vote for Eet-Vanalles. I think it's the best at getting the meaning across.

Shaken Unfairly Ten onrechte geschud (Asks) / Onterecht-Geschud (Sleaw, Maiandra, Narie) / Door-Elkaar-Gerammeld (Orzahn, Maiandra)
Spoiler: hide
Orzahn: about shaken unfairly what about. "Door-Elkaar-Gerammeld, The joke still holds.
Sleaw: I guess it does, yeah. I feel the 'unfairly' bit makes it even funnier, though, since it's doubly self-referential. Personally I'd like to have 'onterecht' in the name somewhere, but in the end, it's just one appearance, so it doesn't matter that much.

Since Sleaw and Maiandra have voted for both options, it's best if they indicate their preference, which I think hangs to Flapoor, I'm willing to move my vote to that one if it turns out like that.

Sleaw: Het gaat hier niet per se om veel eten of 'alles wat er is' eten, maar om alles wat je ziet in je mond te proppen.
Sleaw: I vote for Eet-Vanalles. I think it's the best at getting the meaning across.

Ok, let's make it Eet-Vanalles. RESOLVED

Shaken Unfairly Ten onrechte geschud (Asks) / Onterecht-Geschud (Sleaw, Maiandra, Narie) / Door-Elkaar-Gerammeld (Orzahn, Maiandra)
Spoiler: hide
Orzahn: about shaken unfairly what about. "Door-Elkaar-Gerammeld, The joke still holds.
Sleaw: I guess it does, yeah. I feel the 'unfairly' bit makes it even funnier, though, since it's doubly self-referential. Personally I'd like to have 'onterecht' in the name somewhere, but in the end, it's just one appearance, so it doesn't matter that much.

I agree with Sleaw here. Would like the Onterecht in the name, but if not, no biggie.

Just to add my two cents, I'll give my vote to what sounds best to my ears. Feel free to use it or ignore it

Big Ears: Groot-Oor, It's a literal translation, but Flapoor just seems.. wrong.
Can't-Think-of-a-Name: Doesn't matter much to me, but I was wondering why 'Ik' is in the translation? It's not in the English version. "Kan-niks-bedenken-want-hij-lijkt-zo-normaal"?
Complains of Names: Klaagt over Namen, It's the k-sound of the original, and to me, klaagt sounds more likeable. In my experience, I really dislike zeurende people, while klaagende people are okay. The difference between whining and complaining, I guess. Alternatively, if you're feeling adventurous, you could use Bekritiseerd Namen
Hawl the Trader: Hawl de Handelaar, because that's what he is.
Sticks: Stokke is fine.
Boulder: Rots(blok) sounds better to me than kei, but I don't really care.
Targoth Bladebeard: I like the sound of Zwaardbaard, it has a nice ring to it.
Too-Shy: I really love Blijft-Liever-Uit-Beeld, it conveys the joke better.
Eats-Anything: Eet-Vanalles, sure thing.
Shaken Unfairly: Onterecht or Ten Onrechte Geschud. I prefer Onterecht, to keep it a tad shorter.

Th-th-that's all, folks.
Oh, and I was happy to see Jong-en-Beeldschoon got so popular. I feel loved

Sorry for double posting, but my previous post gave me an idea. We've been staring at Klaagt, Zeurt or a synonym. But somehow, we're not coming to a consensus. So I thought, whyy not look at different words and their synonyms? I jokingly said Bekritiseert Namen, but there are many synonyms for that too. What about Keurt Namen Af? Or Kraakt Namen Af? Maybe I'm being silly, but I thought maybe it's time to think outside the box and look at what Complains does? He's against the goblin naming tradition, and his name reflects that. I'm sure there are many more ways of giving him a fitting name than just literally translating klagen.

Hey folks, hope you don't mind another voice stirring things up.

For Boulder, maybe we shouldn't go for a literal translation. We know his role in the story is mostly done, and the exact name doesn't seem to be significant. Perhaps Bonker? For Sticks I like Stokke.

For Bladebeard, I like Klingbaard

Complains-of-names: Beklaagt-de-Namen? Kritisch-over-namen sounds good as well.

Hawl the Trader: I like Heul de Handelaar. Could be from "Heult met de vijand" (Deals with the enemy)? Definitely not 'voddenvent', because to Chief at least he seems to carry pretty decent wares, so having him call himself a rag-merchant would make Chief seem too gullible. Sjeul de Handelaar would be another option (see 'sjeulen'/'zeulen')

Now that I'm here anyway: Narie, I'm not ignoring your request to give more information about Groot-Oor / Flapoor, I would prefer not to be a deciding voice in this, as I will be perfectly happy either way. You are correct in that I have a slight preference for Flapoor, but I do like Groot-Oor as well. I am very grateful that nobody is trying to push Grote Oren, because that sounds very un-dutch to me, and it reminds me of Roodkapje.

Of the alternatives for Complains, I think either Kritisch-over-namen or Kraakt-namen-af are best. Both 'Kritisch' and 'Kraakt' are words that are pretty cool when used as names, and both have the K-sound a lot of people like.

Actually, I'm just going to say my personal preference goes to Kritisch. It just fits - the sound, but also the fact that he does critisize a lot of things.


As for a few others: My preference is indeed voor 'Flapoor'. Since Maiandra would prefer not to be a deciding vote and wouldn't mind either option, and Narie is willing to switch, can we say this one is pretty much resolved as well? Of course, if someone still has objections, let's hear them! Kirfalas, naturally I'm not trying to ignore you here - since you don't really like Flapoor, are there any arguments you feel you could give to convince the people who do like it?


For Sticks, Boulder, and Targoth I'm fine with any of the given translations. If I'm in the minority in any of these, feel free to ignore me.

For Too-Shy, my preference is fully for 'Blijft-liever-uit-Beeld'. It's very good.

Ah, like I said, feel free to ignore me But I'll try anyway:

Flapoor seems wrong, because to me, it sounds like calling names. People are usually called Flapoor in jest, or things like Flappie to bully people with large ears. Maybe I've seen it happen to often in my youth, I had a friend with huge ears who they were always bullying by calling him Flapoor. Then I knew another person with slightly above average ears who was called Flappie or Bertenflap (his name was Bert) to make fun of him, or make him feel dumb. I guess it's a personal thing, but Flapoor sounds insulting, while Groot-Oor is just realistic of the truth.

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't want my favourite goblin paladin carry a name that either insults him, or may be picked up by Dutch readers as insulting.

you know, i think this was the reason i picked grootoor as well, but it was subconsciously done.

I can see where you're coming from, yeah. On the other hand, I would argue that using Flapoor in a positive context - like for a kind, strong and cool character like Big Ears - would be a way to reverse the negative connotations. Still, if you feel people will really feel bad about the word even with this context, we should seriously take that into consideration.

I can see your point, but I think most would see the negative connotations first, because that is what people know. But i'm not against going for the 'let's-change-the-viewpoint' idea.

This is good! Progress!

Let me make a new list quickly by doing some copy-pasting and editing.

Names that we're no longer discussing:
Spoiler: hide
Chief Chef
Fumbles Stuntel
Young and Beautiful Jong en Beeldschoon
Forgath
Seth Bainwraith
Minmax
Walter Wouter
Herbert
Senor Vorpal Kickass'o
Klik
Kore
Crunk
Thaco
Taps Tikt
Chief Kills-a-Werebear Chef Doodt-een-Weerbeer
Listens-Intently Luistert-Aandachtig
Happy-Coincidence Gelukkig-Toeval
(Takes?) Chances (Neemt) Risico's
Aldyria
Asks Nonsense Vraagt Onzin
Runs-With-Scissors Rent-Met-Scharen[/color]
Tempts Faith Tart-Het-Lot
Dies Horribly Sterft Gruwelijk


Names that I think can be added to that list as a result of recent discussion and Asks's OK:
Spoiler: hide
Tempts Death Speelt-Met-Zijn-Leven
One-Eye E├®n-Oog
Drasst Don't Sue Drasst Klaagme'nietaan
Can't-Think-of-a-Name-'cause-he-looks-like-a-regular-guy Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-doodgewoon
Too-Shy-to-Show-Himself Blijft-Liever-Uit-Beeld
Eats-Anything Eet-Vanalles


Leaving us with these to discuss:
Spoiler: hide
Sticks
Boulder
Targoth Bladebeard
Hawl the Trader
Shaken-Unfairly
Complains-of-Names
Big-Ears


Of course, there are a number of names that aren't in this list yet at all, such as pretty much everything in Brassmoon and beyond. We can choose to either translate all the names before doing anything else, or starting on translating the first pages while keeping a seperate thread for name discussion (i.e. multitasking ).

Actually, name discussion is great, but the other stuff is more serious work, so get started on that

Having a few pages finished will boost your motivation, I think.

Go ahead and start a translation discussion thread

I think it's better to focus on one thing at a time rather than to branch out into separate threads for everything. Discussing twenty-odd names at a time has made it hard to keep up with for people who just drop in. For example, someone dropping by now will see a discussion about Complains and miss what has been said about Boulder. Let's first finish these last few names before we tackle the next thing. I find 29/36 names resolved quite good already.

Making separate threads will bog us down, I think, because it will tempt us to give attention to the things that are new, easy and exciting, while the hard decisions drag on and on.

First name on the agenda: Boulder (because we're waiting for Thunt to get back to Narie about Sticks).

I choose Kei, because that's what I would call those stones Thunt refers to as boulders in his video of his new house, and because it has the pleasant connotation of being really awesome (kei-neig, kei-goed etc.). Short and powerful.

Of course, whenever I see something, I'll tell you guys, but is there anything I can help with? Like I said earlier, I don't really have the time to be on-board all the way, but if there's any small task you need doing, I'm offering

Also, thanks for understanding my view of Flapoor and Groot-Oor. I hope I can continue to help out in small ways

You made your post while I was putting the spoiler together, do you want me to go and try to add everybody's reasons (insofar they've given them)? There's a lot that has been said, it might make things difficult to view. This is one problem that we wouldn't have with the page translations: we are now discussing so many different things at the same time that it gets difficult to keep up with everything that has been said. It's a good thing I had to go back now, for example, because I had completely missed Orzahn's comments the first time.

Edit: yes, I think I will repost what people said, give me a moment.

Sleaw wrote:Okay, I'm not really happy with how this has turned out. I don't feel comfortable with the idea that I'm making decisions for anyone else here, and it was never my intention to do so. My attempt to tally votes was rash and in retrospect not such a great idea, which you pointed out fairly. Votes probably oversimplify the opinions at this point, and that's never good.

Maybe if we used a format like:
___
(original character name) - (suggested translations)
(name of user) (preferred translation) (reason for preferring this translation)
(name of other user) (preferred translation) (reason etc etc)
___
(original character name) - (etc etc)

Would that make things clearer? There would be room for everyone's arguments put close together rather than spread out through quotes and across pages. What do you think?



That could work, but looks too complicated.
What I suggest is:

Put the votes like Sleaw did, either with or without names of the ones who voted.
Put a special sign (*, %, & etc)) where you have comments, and write those comments below the votelist
Everybody picks his own sign for making these comments, and everybody has to copy these comments to add his own votes.
That way, you have a clear vote list, and you have comments from everybody about how strongly they feel etc.

I'm gonna vote later on.

I'm not qualified to vote, but I do have an opinion on "Hawl de Voddenvent" vs. "Hawl de Handelaar".
Your different preferences are also due to different perspectives. The Goblins see him as a trader, as does he himself. After all, he gets valuable wares for his "Vodden", right? The only ones to see him as a Voddenvent are the readers (and, of course, Complains, who is too intelligent for Goblin tradition).

Remember, also, that Hawl sold Klik to Y&B. Even if he did seem to be nothing but a bowling ball in a cage until Dies freed him, Klik is extremely valuable.

So +1 to "Hawl de Handelaar"

Targoth Bladebeard Zwaardbaard of niet vertalen. Maybe "Klingbaard or Klingenbaard"

and I don't know wheter hawl knew klik was valuable, to him it could just have been a metal orb in a cage, some weird fantasy form of modern art.

but Hawl de Handelaar sounds good too me mostly due to the alliteration going on

btw (and we can't translate this properly) isn't Hawl a phonetic joke? like Haul, as in Hauling stuff around ?

Zwaardbaard adds a rhyme where there's none in the original, to me a rhyming name sounds cheap. I'd prefer Klingbaard over it. Lemmetbaard for me just doesn't flow very nice..

I've always seen Hawl as a pun on Haul, so even if the author didn't consciously put it there, that makes at least two of us... Maybe we could name him some phonetic variant of Zeul, Sleep or Sleur? We'd lose the alliteration, which might be a good thing, although it is not as jarring as a rhyming name... Just not Sleur de Leurder (Leuren- to peddle) as it introduces rhyming .

Here you go then, a proper compilation, this time including who seemed to prefer what and (I hope) all comments. Luteijn, I missed your comments on "Chef" earlier, do you want me to include them here or are you ok with it now? I didn't mean to ignore you, I just didn't see it.

One-Eye E├®noog (Asks)/ E├®n-Oog (Narie, Sleaw, Maiandra)

Big Ears Grootoor (Narie) / Groot-Oor (Sleaw, Maiandra) / Lang-Oor (Sleaw) / Langoor (Narie) / Flapoor (Asks, Sleaw, Maiandra)
Spoiler: hide
Sleaw: Groot-Oor is het dichtst bij het origineel en het feitelijkst, maar Flapoor en Lang-Oor hebben wel wat. Ik kan met alledrie prima leven.
Maiandra: I like both Groot-Oor and Flapoor

Can't-Think-of-a-Name-'cause-he-looks-like-a-regular-guy Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-heel-normaal (Asks, Narie) / Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-doodgewoon (Sleaw, Maiandra) / Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-op-een-normaal-persoon (Narie) / Ik-kan-niks-bedenken-want-hij-lijkt-een-doodnormale-vent (Maiandra, Luteijn) / Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-een-normale-kerel (Maiandra)
Spoiler: hide
Narie: Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-op-een-normaal-persoon lijkt meer op origineel
Maiandra: If you want to hang on to the "guy", then I would suggest "kerel", because it is less stiff than "persoon" and closer to the meaning of "guy" rather than "person". It does make the name longer again, though.
Sleaw: Doodgewoon vind ik beter dan normaal - 'heel normaal' klinkt voor mij als 'niks mis mee', terwijl 'doodgewoon' meer iets heeft van 'niks speciaals'.
Maiandra: I have a preference for Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-doodgewoon
Luteijn: We seem to have enough space for Ik-kan-niks-bedenken-want-hij-lijkt-een-doodnormale-vent

Complains of Names Klaagt over Namen (Asks, Maiandra) / Zeurt over Namen (Sleaw) Narie: beide mogelijk, voorkeur voor klaagt
Spoiler: hide
Narie: beide mogelijk, voorkeur voor klaagt
Sleaw: Ik vind 'zeurt' leuker, maar dat is puur op gevoel. Klagen kan zijn van 'een klacht hebben' maar kan ook betekenen dat iemand zichzelf heel zielig vindt en steeds het erover heeft hoe erg alles is. Dat past voor mij niet bij het personage, terwijl 'Zeurt' meer aansluit bij zijn koppigheid. Voor mijn gevoel, althans.
Maiandra: "Zeuren" is more like "whining" to me, and the sounds in "Complains" and "Klaagt" are more similar

Dies Horribly Sterft Vreselijk (Sleaw) / Sterft Gruwelijk (Asks, Narie, Maiandra)
Spoiler: hide
Sleaw: Kan allebei. Ik ben voor 'vreselijk' omdat dat wat meer open staat voor andere interpretaties, net als zijn Engelse naam.

Drasst Don't Sue Drasst Klaagme'nietaan (Sleaw, Shares) of niet vertalen (Narie, Asks)
Spoiler: hide
Maiandra: Ik vind hem eigenlijk het grappigst als hij niet vertaald wordt, omdat Drizz't ook uit de Engelse literatuur komt
Narie: en in Nederlands wordt de naam te lang denk ik, daarnaast niet bekend met Drizz't.
Sleaw: We zouden eventueel Drasst Klaagme'nietaan kunnen doen om de grap wat duidelijker mee te geven. Misschien is dat te lang? Het wordt maar 1 keer genoemd geloof ik.
Shares: Drasst Klaagme'nietaan sounds so sweet, I want to move from the GTP to the DTP
Maiandra: Either works, I still prefer leaving it in english, but I can definitely life with this translation

Hawl the Trader Hawl de Handelaar (Narie, Sleaw) / Hawl de Voddenvent (Asks, Maiandra)
Spoiler: hide
Maiandra: I prefer Hawl de Voddenvent: he trades in junk, so his wares are "vodden", however I can see that the goblins don't see it that way
Sleaw: I think Hawl should be 'Hawl de Handelaar', because that's what the Goblins call him in English as well. Next to that it alliterates, and 'voddenvent' is kind of a weird word to me anyway (I knew 'vodden' could be old clothes and textile but I didn't even know it could mean junk in general until I looked it up)
Shares: The Goblins see him as a trader, as does he himself. After all, he gets valuable wares for his "Vodden", right? The only ones to see him as a Voddenvent are the readers (and, of course, Complains, who is too intelligent for Goblin tradition). So +1 to "Hawl de Handelaar"
Orzahn: Hawl de Handelaar sounds good too me mostly due to the alliteration going on btw (and we can't translate this properly) isn't Hawl a phonetic joke? like Haul, as in Hauling stuff around ?

Just not Sleur de Leurder (Leuren- to peddle) as it introduces rhyming .
Maiandra: I never noticed the pun before, but I do really like rhymes / alliterations. Heul de Handelaar would have my preference, but I just looked it up, and apparently "ergens mee heulen" in the sense of "trying to sell something" is not in the dictionary. Must be a very local usage or just something I've always gotten wrong. I do like Sleur de Leurder then, I have to admit.

Sticks Stokke (Sleaw, Maiandra) / Stok (Narie, Sleaw, Maiandra, Asks) / Kleeft (Luteijn) / Plakt (Maiandra, Luteijn)
Spoiler: hide
Narie: Sticks is zÔÇÖn hele naam? Dan klopt Stok als enige naar mijn mening.
Maiandra: He is only ever called "Sticks", but that doesn't mean it has to come from "one stick, two sticks" (although also having a character there called "boulder" sort of suggests that), it could also come from the verb "to stick". I'm perfectly happy with Stok or Stokke (sounds very flemish )
Luteijn: Many names seem to be verbs in the third person, so perhaps Kleeft of Plakt is better than Stokken; it would help to have a list of what was meant by the author, like Tolkien provided for translating of his Hobbit stories.

Narie: Zwaardbaard klinkt het best
Sleaw: Zwaardbaard is mooi!
Orzahn: "Klingbaard or Klingenbaard"?
Luteijn: Zwaardbaard adds a rhyme where there's none in the original, to me a rhyming name sounds cheap. I'd prefer Klingbaard over it. Lemmetbaard for me just doesn't flow very nice...

Maiandra: I don't know, "nonsens" sounds much more natural to me, but onzin works. Exactly how foreign does it sound to you guys?
Sleaw: Asks-Nonsense, to me, should be 'Vraagt-Onzin'; I've never heard anyone say 'nonsens' without purposefully trying to sound like a snob, so where I live/grew up at least, that word would probably not connect well.

Postby Narie ┬╗ Mon Apr 23, 2012 3:05 pm
[quote="Maiandra"]Here you go then, a proper compilation, this time including who seemed to prefer what and (I hope) all comments. Luteijn, I missed your comments on "Chef" earlier, do you want me to include them here or are you ok with it now? I didn't mean to ignore you, I just didn't see it.

One-Eye E├®noog (Asks)/ E├®n-Oog (Narie, Sleaw, Maiandra)
Seems to be clear mayority, so I suggest moving it to the decided list.

Big Ears Groot-Oor (Sleaw, Maiandra, Narie) / Lang-Oor (Sleaw) / Flapoor (Asks, Sleaw, Maiandra)
Spoiler: hide
Sleaw: Groot-Oor is het dichtst bij het origineel en het feitelijkst, maar Flapoor en Lang-Oor hebben wel wat. Ik kan met alledrie prima leven.
Maiandra: I like both Groot-Oor and Flapoor

In the interest of making it more clear, I move my vote from Grootoor to Groot-oor, I also suggest taking out Lang-Oor because just 1 vote, leaving just 2 options. I really don't like Flapoor to be honest.

Can't-Think-of-a-Name-'cause-he-looks-like-a-regular-guy Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-heel-normaal (Asks) / Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-doodgewoon (Sleaw, Maiandra, Narie) / Ik-kan-niks-bedenken-want-hij-lijkt-een-doodnormale-vent (Maiandra, Luteijn) / Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-een-normale-kerel (Maiandra)
Spoiler: hide
Maiandra: If you want to hang on to the "guy", then I would suggest "kerel", because it is less stiff than "persoon" and closer to the meaning of "guy" rather than "person". It does make the name longer again, though.
Sleaw: Doodgewoon vind ik beter dan normaal - 'heel normaal' klinkt voor mij als 'niks mis mee', terwijl 'doodgewoon' meer iets heeft van 'niks speciaals'.
Maiandra: I have a preference for Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-doodgewoon
Luteijn: We seem to have enough space for Ik-kan-niks-bedenken-want-hij-lijkt-een-doodnormale-vent

I scratch my original votes and move it to: Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-doodgewoon

Complains of Names Klaagt over Namen (Asks, Maiandra, Narie) / Zeurt over Namen (Sleaw)
Spoiler: hide
Narie: beide mogelijk, voorkeur voor klaagt
Sleaw: Ik vind 'zeurt' leuker, maar dat is puur op gevoel. Klagen kan zijn van 'een klacht hebben' maar kan ook betekenen dat iemand zichzelf heel zielig vindt en steeds het erover heeft hoe erg alles is. Dat past voor mij niet bij het personage, terwijl 'Zeurt' meer aansluit bij zijn koppigheid. Voor mijn gevoel, althans.
Maiandra: "Zeuren" is more like "whining" to me, and the sounds in "Complains" and "Klaagt" are more similar

Voting voor Klaagt

Dies Horribly Sterft Vreselijk (Sleaw) / Sterft Gruwelijk (Asks, Narie, Maiandra)
Spoiler: hide
Sleaw: Kan allebei. Ik ben voor 'vreselijk' omdat dat wat meer open staat voor andere interpretaties, net als zijn Engelse naam.

Mayority spotted

Drasst Don't Sue Drasst Klaagme'nietaan (Sleaw, Shares, Naire) of niet vertalen (Asks)
Spoiler: hide
Maiandra: Ik vind hem eigenlijk het grappigst als hij niet vertaald wordt, omdat Drizz't ook uit de Engelse literatuur komt
Narie: en in Nederlands wordt de naam te lang denk ik, daarnaast niet bekend met Drizz't.
Sleaw: We zouden eventueel Drasst Klaagme'nietaan kunnen doen om de grap wat duidelijker mee te geven. Misschien is dat te lang? Het wordt maar 1 keer genoemd geloof ik.
Shares: Drasst Klaagme'nietaan sounds so sweet, I want to move from the GTP to the DTP
Maiandra: Either works, I still prefer leaving it in english, but I can definitely life with this translation

I like Drasst Klaagme'nietaan if it doesn't get too long for the speach bubbles, otherwise don't translate, so voting for Drasst Klaagme'nietaan for now, which would make a mayority.

Hawl the Trader Hawl de Handelaar (Narie, Sleaw, Shares) / Hawl de Voddenvent (Asks, Maiandra)
Spoiler: hide
Maiandra: I prefer Hawl de Voddenvent: he trades in junk, so his wares are "vodden", however I can see that the goblins don't see it that way
Sleaw: I think Hawl should be 'Hawl de Handelaar', because that's what the Goblins call him in English as well. Next to that it alliterates, and 'voddenvent' is kind of a weird word to me anyway (I knew 'vodden' could be old clothes and textile but I didn't even know it could mean junk in general until I looked it up)
Shares: The Goblins see him as a trader, as does he himself. After all, he gets valuable wares for his "Vodden", right? The only ones to see him as a Voddenvent are the readers (and, of course, Complains, who is too intelligent for Goblin tradition). So +1 to "Hawl de Handelaar"
Orzahn: Hawl de Handelaar sounds good too me mostly due to the alliteration going on btw (and we can't translate this properly) isn't Hawl a phonetic joke? like Haul, as in Hauling stuff around ?
Luteijn: I've always seen Hawl as a pun on Haul, so even if the author didn't consciously put it there, that makes at least two of us... Maybe we could name him some phonetic variant of Zeul, Sleep or Sleur? We'd lose the alliteration, which might be a good thing, although it is not as jarring as a rhyming name...

Must be a very local usage or just something I've always gotten wrong. I do like Sleur de Leurder then, I have to admit.

I agree with Shares, it is mainly about how he sees himself in my opinion. I also included Shares's vote, since for Drasst you did include it, but here you didn't.

Sticks Stokke (Sleaw, Maiandra) / Stok (Narie, Sleaw, Maiandra, Asks) / Kleeft (Luteijn) / Plakt (Maiandra, Luteijn)
Spoiler: hide
Narie: Sticks is zÔÇÖn hele naam? Dan klopt Stok als enige naar mijn mening.

Luteijn: Many names seem to be verbs in the third person, so perhaps Kleeft of Plakt is better than Stokken; it would help to have a list of what was meant by the author, like Tolkien provided for translating of his Hobbit stories.

I agree it depends on what Thunt meant. If anybody could supply me with the link as which comic he is in, I can ask Thunt.

Tart-het-lot is Tempts Fate, en is trouwens wel perfect voor Tempts Fate, so I think this can be resolved as well.

Changing vote to Onterecht-Geschud

Spoiler: hide
I removed the following options since they now have no votes anymore:
Big Ears - Grootoor and Langoor
Regular-Guy - Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-op-een-normaal-persoon
Eats-Anything - Eet-wat-dan-ook


Where I pointed out mayorities is where they are pretty clear, 2 or more votes difference with the second option

The problem with that is that, just like you, people might want to change their "vote" in light of what was said, and that in some cases some of the suggested translations weren't there yet when they first posted. Klingbaard en Eet-Vanalles, for example, were only suggested after you, Sleaw and Asks had already posted. Plus, I strongly disagree with a "majority rules" approach in a project like this one, working towards a consensus is much better, or you're soon going to keep people from making any suggestions at all "because there seems to be a majority already anyway" and then we'll lose valuable input.

I see you point, and I partially agree on them. I concur that removing those options wasn't the best to be honest (which is also why I put them at the end), the same with the mayority ones, which is why I just suggested and didn't remove anything.
However, at one time or another, if you have 1 option with 3 votes and 1 with 1 or 2, you cannot wait indefinitely.
As you can see, in a couple of cases, I change my vote with the exact idea to reach consensus, I went with the mayority in that case, exactly because reaching a unanimous decision is always better than having to force people to accept anything, but at one moment or another, you (or we, or the discussion director), will have to cut the knot as we say in Dutch , and this will probably be based on mayority at the end.
I do think we should start working towards a resolution within 2-3 weeks at tops.
But for now, I agree with you on leaving the options open and not decided yet.

Ah, I understand now, you looked at that before my edit. I did not remove the options, they were in the spoilers, and I went back to edit them into the top list as well after I noticed that I had forgotten to do that. Had been wondering why you accused me of deleting options that people still wanted

And yes, the entire point of mentioning the names behind the translations must be so that people can say "well if all of you prefer that, I'm fine with it as well", just like you did, an option that was sorely lacking in my first attempt. It's very time consuming, though, but I guess that will get better when we're not working on a dozen different things at the same time.

Zwaardbaard adds a rhyme where there's none in the original, to me a rhyming name sounds cheap. I'd prefer Klingbaard over it. Lemmetbaard for me just doesn't flow very nice..

I disagree with a few points of this. Avoiding alliteration or rhyming on purpose is just as silly as putting it in on purpose. As is, I like these names for how they sound, and considering how many of the names in Goblins are jokes to begin with I see no problem with the names of some minor characters rhyming or having alliteration. That said, 'Klingbaard' does sound good as well, so I'm fine with either of those.

Apart from that, noticing that Hawl is a pun is a good point! It's a very minor pun, though, and one that isn't really part of any scene or the story itself - it's just the relation between his name and what he does. I think it can be left untranslated without much trouble, but if there's a nice translation option that's fine too.

As for the list: wow, Maiandra! That's pretty damn extensive. Let me shift my preferences around a bit for the ones I'm kind of indifferent about:

Big Ears Grootoor (Narie) / Groot-Oor (Sleaw, Maiandra) / Lang-Oor (Sleaw) / Langoor (Narie) / Flapoor (Asks, Sleaw, Maiandra)
Spoiler: hide
Sleaw: Groot-Oor is het dichtst bij het origineel en het feitelijkst, maar Flapoor en Lang-Oor hebben wel wat. Ik kan met alledrie prima leven.
Maiandra: I like both Groot-Oor and Flapoor


I'm not really interested in Lang-Oor. Flapoor appeals to me because Ears is a kind, friendly character, and Flapoor is a bit of an innocent name, like you might give a plushie. Groot-Oor is okay too, but all the o's in there make it look a tad weird. At any rate, most of the time he'll be called 'Oor' anyway, right? They call him Ears all the time.

Complains of Names Klaagt over Namen (Asks, Maiandra) / Zeurt over Namen (Sleaw) Narie: beide mogelijk, voorkeur voor klaagt

Narie: beide mogelijk, voorkeur voor klaagt

Maiandra: "Zeuren" is more like "whining" to me, and the sounds in "Complains" and "Klaagt" are more similar


I can see both meanings for both translations - Klaagt is closer to Complains, but for me carries a melodramatic tone in one of its forms. Zeurt fits Complains's stubbornness and nagging about inconsequential things, but it does have the connotation of whining that Maiandra said. The thing I'm worried about most is how his name is going to sound for the rest of the comic. He will either be called 'Klaagt' or 'Zeurt' throughout the story, and honestly I find both to sound a bit weird. I've been looking for other synonyms but haven't found anything that fits. I'm a bit torn on this.

Must be a very local usage or just something I've always gotten wrong. I do like Sleur de Leurder then, I have to admit.


Like I said, I think Hawl de Handelaar is fine, but I'm open for other options. I actually think the alliteration in this or Sleur de Leurder is nice. It's a bit corny, but that fits the early stages of the comic just fine.

Maiandra: "Rennen" is one of those words that I understand, but wouldn't use. On the other hand, it does sound better.


I think Rent sounds better as well. The point of the name may be hit or miss, but we don't have any great alternatives so far.

I vote for Eet-Vanalles. I think it's the best at getting the meaning across.

As far as it concernes me, I got no problem with you using our svg files and the white-out they contain (the pictures in which the original text is covered under a layer of white so you cannot see it anymore).

I will do it like Thunt: You can use it as long as we are honorably mentioned, since it will be a hell of a job once the comic gets colored and will have light and fade effects in the text.

Btw: We are using Inkscape and vector graphics (*.svg) to generate png files.

I want to suggest that we wait another 48 hours (that should be enough time for anyone interested to peek through the compilation and comment) and that I then re-evaluate which names can be moved to the "no longer needs to be discussed" file. I think a lot of them can, to be honest, but I want to give people who aren't as eager as the rest of us a chance to participate. On the other hand, Narie was right, we can't wait forever, and three days seems fair.

That's actually want i meant with my suggestion of mayorities. I just wanted to make it a little easier to pick them out for you , I'm all in favor of having as many people as possible vote and give opinions, diversity breeds options and discussion, which is great.

Hi guys,

Just stopping by to put in my 2 cents.

I prefer Zwaardbaard, because it flows better. Klingbaard sounds a bit off in my opinion.

I like Hawl de Handelaar, but also like to change Hawl as Luteijn proposed. How about Zul?

I prefer Flapoor, because it contains more of a dutch expression, Grootoor sounds to much like a literal translation.

I prefer Klaagt over Zeurt for Complains of Names, but both aren't perfect. How about Moppert? It lacks the whining and sounds more goodhearted than Klaagt does.

I like Drasst Klaagme'nietaan

I don't think Rots and Rotsblok really capture the name of Boulder. How about Kei?

Nonsens is definitly more a Flemish term (like Voddenvent ) I prefer Vraagt Onzin

I think Te-Verlegen-Om-Zich-Te-Laten-Zien is the best option if it is to long i would propose something along the lines of Blijft-Liever-Uit-Beeld.

I think Rent-Met-Scharen is better than Loopt-Met-Scharen.

I agree with Eet-Vanalles

Welcome, guys! And thanks for your input.

Xeodon, the germans have offered to let us use their files (undoubtably hoping that we will overtake them ) and they use Inkscape. Are you familiar with that or will their files be compatible with Photoshop? I usually use GIMP for image manipulation and I haven't tried theirs yet. I did try the "create a layer that neatly covers the english text and that our translations can be added to" and it worked quite well.

If you agree to also using Inkscape, guys, we could assisst each other*. The question is whether you want to do it quick (and dirty) by writing the text into the speech bubbles directly with gimp/photoshop/photofiltre/paintshop pro/etc., or if you want to have dynamic source files where you can effortlessly change previously translated text and export them to PNG (compact, lossless images).

We at the GTP are going the slightly complicated way (that I suggested) and use transparent overlay images that we place above the unmodified source images by Thunt. That way, we are not messing with his art or copying anything he owns, but merely placing the image with our changes on top of his. When we catch up (in the distant future), this means that there will be a current page with the German tranlation of the unshaded version that suddenly will change to the shaded version when Thunt replaces it on his site

*(I could create translated comics pages for you within minutes!)

I think you misunderstood, I never suggested putting the text directly into the art work, I was talking about making the transparant layers that lie over it, covering the text, and asking whether the files from one program can be used in another. I haven't tried to open one of your .svg's with GIMP, but I think it will work. We don't necessarily need to use the same program to exchange files.

I know you didn't say you were going to use normal images, Maiandra. I was summing up your options.
I merely said that there were several paths to take - either use Scalable Vector Grapics (SVG), or proprietary container formats (Gimp/PSP/Photoshop), or normal images (BMP, PNG, GIF, JPG).
There is less work involved if you work in the one-layered image format, but you lose flexibility and reusability.

The compatibility of Inkscape files with other software is not perfect, although GIMP im- and export of SVG files is possible. If you don't want to create the complete pages in Inkscape, you can use any other program, of course.

If you just want our transparent files with white bubbles, we can provide them in the PNG format without any trouble. Our SVG files have three layers:
Text layer (for text)
Bubble layer (for white objects that cover the original text, and for text in artwork, e.g. the "crossroads of doom" pillar)
Comic layer (for the comic page)

We can lock/unlock and hide/unhide any of these three layers at will, and export to PNG/BMP (conversion to JPG is simple, of course).

EDIT: Inkscape is to Gimp what Adobe Illustrator is to Adobe Photoshop: Compatible but with a vastly different focus.

Welcome! You are definitely not "butting in", in fact, the more the merrier! Following the thread and chiming in whenever you think you have a useful suggestion is definitely helpful, never feel like your opinion is worth less just because you're not the loudest voice in the herd. None of us came up with the idea of using "Beeldschoon", and it is my new favourite, so please don't hold back. Normally I would whine about it being longer, but this is actually one instance where the original name is still longer and the text balloon is quite accommodating. Plus, it would keep the original sounds (Y and B).

I generally prefer to read stuff in the original Klingon, or, if a translation is made, for most nouns and proper nouns not to be translated, just explained when they are first used. Just think of those horrible translations used in error-messages, where you have to first translate things back to English to make sense of them because nobody actually uses rekentuig for computer or onderbreking for interrupt (or worse, onderbreken becasue in English there's no difference between the noun and the verb). Still, here's some of my ideas on the names:

Spoiler: hide
Chief Although Chef is a cognate of Chief, it doesn't really mean the same to me. Opperhoofd and Hoofdman are probably too long, but maybe Opper or Hoofd would work?
Sticks Many names seem to be verbs in the third person, so perhaps Kleeft of Plakt is better than Stokken; it would help to have a list of what was meant by the author, like Tolkien provided for translating of his Hobbit stories.
Can't-Think-of-a-Name-'cause-he-looks-like-a-regular-guy We seem to have enough space for Ik-kan-niks-bedenken-want-hij-lijkt-een-doodnormale-vent


The first page would then be something like:
Spoiler: hide
- Volgens mij ben ik ze kwijt.
= Ik claim zijn handschoenen
+ Stil, straks hoort hij ons nog!
- blader blader [paladijnenhandboek]
- Paladijnenregel Nr. 38 ... Wanneer de handlangers van het kwaad claims op je uitrusting beginnen te leggen, bid of ren.
- AAAA!

Luteijn & Kirfalas: First of all, welcome! Nice to see more contributors! We haven't actually started translating pages yet, though, so just for now, let's keep it to the names. Personally I think Chef is fine - 'Hoofd' sounds more like an insult (it's a pretty common equivalent of 'your face') and 'Opper' is also a verb. While 'Chef' may not be an exact translation I think it gets the meaning across well, while also sounding very close to the original and not being too formal. As for the other two, they're not nearly as important considering their tiny role in the story, so any of those translations is fine by me. I am partial to 'Jong-en-Beeldschoon' though, nicely found!

As for the compilation, I think it's fair to only include the 'votes' of those who have signed up for this project - it's great to have suggestions from people on the side, and please keep them coming, but for the final decisions I think it's best if only those who will have to work with the outcome get to have a say. That being said, for those who do wish to 'officially' join up, you're always welcome to do so!

Yet another dutch guy late to the party I like chef, it makes sense. one of the rules of translation is that you techincally re-write the original in your language so it makes sense, you can't literally translate sentences from englihs to dutch even if they would make sense gramatically, this because we often say things very differently. The actual feeling and narrative use of the word is more important than the closest translation.
and by the way, when'd tempts fate turn into tempts death ? "Tart het Lot" would be a translation more in keeping with the english original :S

Oh! I just assumed 'Tempts Death' was some other random Goblin that might have appeared once. I didn't think it was Tempts Fate because he's not in the main comic... yeah, naturally, 'Tart-het-lot' would be the appropriate translation for that dude, if it would ever come up.

I guess it does, yeah. I feel the 'unfairly' bit makes it even funnier, though, since it's doubly self-referential. Personally I'd like to have 'onterecht' in the name somewhere, but in the end, it's just one appearance, so it doesn't matter that much.

Nice compilation! There are only a few that I have a more-than-neutral opinion about. I think Hawl should be 'Hawl de Handelaar', because that's what the Goblins call him in English as well. Next to that it alliterates, and 'voddenvent' is kind of a weird word to me anyway (I knew 'vodden' could be old clothes and textile but I didn't even know it could mean junk in general until I looked it up). Asks-Nonsense, to me, should be 'Vraagt-Onzin'; I've never heard anyone say 'nonsens' without purposefully trying to sound like a snob, so where I live/grew up at least, that word would probably not connect well. For the others, I can really live with any of the options.

I say we just take it to the voting wagon. As was said before, there is no 'right' translation anyway, so it's a matter of preference, and how better to indicate that than... democratically?

Here's the list with the votes/preferences of me and Maiandra added in numbers behind the names:

Spoiler: hide
One-Eye E├®noog / E├®n-Oog (2)
Big Ears Grootoor / Groot-Oor / Flapoor (1) / (neutral: 1)
Can't-Think-of-a-Name-'cause-he-looks-like-a-regular-guy Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-heel-normaal / Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-doodgewoon (1) / Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-op-een-normaal-persoon / Ik-kan-niks-bedenken-want-hij-lijkt-een-doodnormale-vent (1) / Ik-kom-nergens-op-want-hij-lijkt-een-heel-normale-kerel
Complains of Names Klaagt over Namen (2) / Zeurt over Namen
Dies Horribly Sterft Vreselijk / Sterft Gruwelijk (2)
Drasst Don't Sue Drasst Klaagme'nietaan (1) of niet vertalen / (neutral: 1)
Hawl the Trader Hawl de Handelaar (1) / Hawl de Voddenvent (1)
Sticks Stokke (2) / Stok / Kleeft / Plakt
Boulder Rots (2) / Rotsblok
Targoth Bladebeard Zwaardbaard (2) of niet vertalen
Asks Nonsense Vraagt Onzin (1) / Vraagt Nonsens (1)
Too-Shy-to-Show-Himself Te-Verlegen (1) / Te-Verlegen-Om-Zich-Te-Tonen / Te-Verlegen-Om-Zich-Te-Laten-Zien / (neutral: 1)
Runs-With-Scissors Loopt-Met-Scharen (1) / Rent-Met-Scharen (1)
Eats-Anything Eet-Alles / Eet-Vanalles (2)
Shaken Unfairly Ten onrechte geschud / Onterecht-Geschud (2)


Narie and Asks, please look it through and add your own votes behind the names you prefer. If you can, try to pick either one even if you're fine with both, so we don't get flooded in neutral votes.

... and anybody else who's watching. More people involved in the voting = a better chance of ending up with what will appeal best to the largest number of people. It's also a way to make the people who can't post often feel welcome and to encourage them to contribute more.

Also, a "majority vote" where only four people are voting is going to end up in a tie more often than not, and risks ending up a tyranny more than a democracy. Example: if you feel strongly that "nonsens" has a negative connotation, then that should weigh more than that the rest of us doesn't mind the word and prefers sticking close to the original, because our choice might alienate readers.

Edit: Sleaw, don't take this the wrong way, but I don't like how you reinterpreted what I said and changed it into votes; I want people to read my comments on why I prefer one thing over another. If you tempt them to just copy your summary and add their own vote, they won't go back to do that.

That's true. We do have a varied readerbase though, so it might be hard to make something that will appeal to everyone. And you're right about the voting - four people isn't really enough to make such a vote mean a lot. I think we're doing pretty good in combining votes with discussion, though. I didn't mean to say this vote would be final - if there are any outcomes that people have serious issues with, those will always be open for discussion. This is merely a way to make up our minds about the things that people don't have strong opinions about anyway, such as the names of several minor characters.

Edit: Oh, I see. Well, like I said in this post, I don't mean for these votes to be final, just for them to be a way to make up our minds about the ones nobody feels that strongly about. By all means - let's keep ideas and suggestions coming, and add to the discussion rather than just say 'yes' or 'no'. I just thought this would be a good way to get a general sense of preference for most of the options. Maybe I was wrong there, though.

In some cases, a vote can indeed do that, but not here. You and Narie picked "Hawl de Handelaar", Asks and I prefer "Hawl de Voddenvent". At this point, the reason for voting how you do becomes important. If you look at your vote tally, you've interpreted what I said as 1-1 so far. However, if you look at both our reasonings:

Maiandra wrote:Hawl de Voddenvent He trades in junk, so his wares are "vodden", however I can see that the goblins don't see it that way

Sleaw wrote:I think Hawl should be 'Hawl de Handelaar', because that's what the Goblins call him in English as well. Next to that it alliterates, and 'voddenvent' is kind of a weird word to me anyway (I knew 'vodden' could be old clothes and textile but I didn't even know it could mean junk in general until I looked it up).


They're not incompatible at all. That's why I don't want what I said to be lost. It's already in a third spoiler at the bottom of my post, please don't choose my votes for me. Allow me to hear what everybody has to say (and give me a chance for my opinion to be heard) and then make my own choice.

Well, you did literally say that you coloured 'what you would vote for'. That's why I didn't think it was such a stretch to count those as votes. I thought it was what you meant! I guess I misinterpreted it, though.

I think part of my frustration stems from the fact that I made a list of translations trying to cover as many possibilities as possible, and everybody else got to pick and choose and change what they wanted. That's why I worked with two different spoilers this time. Also, no matter how good your intentions are to still allow for discussion afterwards, the voting is always going to be the last stage in the decision making process, and people are going to feel like "but we already voted on this, why do you want to bring it up again? Couldn't you have said that before?"

Edit: I'll go back and add the names of who preferred which translation, maybe that will do what you wanted to accomplish and show who needs to either say they're willing to go with the majority or not.

Okay, I'm not really happy with how this has turned out. I don't feel comfortable with the idea that I'm making decisions for anyone else here, and it was never my intention to do so. My attempt to tally votes was rash and in retrospect not such a great idea, which you pointed out fairly. Votes probably oversimplify the opinions at this point, and that's never good.

Maybe if we used a format like:
___
(original character name) - (suggested translations)
(name of user) (preferred translation) (reason for preferring this translation)
(name of other user) (preferred translation) (reason etc etc)
___
(original character name) - (etc etc)

Would that make things clearer? There would be room for everyone's arguments put close together rather than spread out through quotes and across pages. What do you think?

I have no objections to Hans de Handelaar. Sure the reference might be a bit thin, but it will give history buffs something to geek about, and it is a nice name.

Actually, I like the opportunity for people to geek about, and comics like Goblin thrive on these kind of obscure references.
So I think we are in agreement on this one. Next!

Hmm, do you think you'll ever get a reply about Sticks? Maybe you should send a follow-up mail, or we could just give our own interpretation.

Also, we might want some other opinions on 'Hans de Handelaar'...? We don't want to disregard all the other people who have chimed in!

Leave Hans open until monday afternoon, so people can reply if they want.
And we can continue with the next in the meantime.
If you guys agree/want that is.
I'm not gonna be online tomorrow, so today is the only day this weekend for me.

Yeah, but I also asked his permission for this translation, which is something we would need to be honest, and he didn't reply that either, so we are unsanctioned for now.

That's true, although I doubt it will be a problem - the German one was approved, after all. Even so, it's good then to try and keep in contact, yeah. I don't know if there's a more reliable way to contact him regarding this sort of thing, though...

If we don't get a reply from Thunt, I would like to defend Stokke. I realise that it sounds flemish (said so first myself), but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. The dutch dutch people on this project are far in the majority and because I grew up abroad, my sense of "normal words" is probably a bit different from many other flemish people, so the whole thing will likely have a holland feel to it (yeah, I know you're bigger than just Holland, but saying dutch dutch feels like Newspeak).

If it can sway anybody, let's remember that Sticks is the dumb character that can't grab the basics of the card game that is being played

I'm never on the chat of the Ustream, but I think that would be more direct.

This actually swayed me somewhat, so you have my tentative support for Stokke.

Though I don't know if you wanted to sway me with, Stokke is flemish, and he is dumb (you know Flemish are dumb in the Ducth jokes), but it worked.

I just got word from the Creator of all the goodness this forum is based on, i.e. Thunt, our overlord .

We have official permission, as long as we don't make any money off of it without communicating with him about it.

Also, the final word on Sticks is the thing that grows on trees. So we can go with Stokke as long as at least Sleaw agrees as well.

Next up, then: Shaken-Unfairly. Is there actually anybody who dislikes Onterecht-Geshud? I like Dooreengerammeld, but it takes the "unfairly" out, so that's a pity. Onterecht-Dooreengerammeld might be a tad long for the text balloon, I'll have a look.

Edit: can't find the comic where he appears

That would be tricky... I don't think it'd fit unless we really scale down the font, which is not a good idea since he's meant to be shouting, i.e. the font is slightly larger and bolded.

Thanks, I stopped searching after the fight at the war camp when Dies drags Klik away. I think we could do it by making the first bit smaller on one line and the second large. Something like:

Wat voor stomme naam is
Onterecht-Dooreengerammeld??

Eh, that idea doesn't really appeal to me. That sounds like either he starts out whispering, or he only shouts at the end, while he's really shouting and shaking the dude all the while. I think we should keep them at the same size.

Swear words are tricky - a lot of the ones that are used around here are English to begin with.
