Games For Your Intellivision Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 The French version of the Minehunter Manual is completed. The page formatting has to be checked, and I am trying to get put into PDF format. It is currently in WORD format, but doesn't look right when opened with Open Office. Thanks Pascal! I am still hoping to see the German and Spanish version soon. Still no Italian volunteer! Hopefully they will be posted on www.elektronite.com soon. I am shrinkwrapping Minehunter, and it should be shipping soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games For Your Intellivision Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 DZ volunteered to do the Spanish version if no one else volunteered.....I had no one, so he MIGHT be doing it....I sent him the file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Hey, here is a website where you can type in a sentence in english and it will translate into spanish. for free! http://www.spanishdict.com/translation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Games For Your Intellivision Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Unless you know the language a bit, those things can come up with some weird sentences..... I know enough German to know when the results are bogus......but I use it to assist me to write in German. If you just put text in and let it translate, it comes out rather wonky....certainly not good enough for an instruction manual. Only native speakers or native ability speakers should be translating manuals. I would never attempt to write a manual in German or French, or Thai or Japanese....(the 4 languages I can barely function in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DZ is working in it. I just had a helluva week at work that has not stopped. Hopefully I can get to it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they are English instructions for Japanese electronics products or hobby kits from the 1980s. Man, I remember those things when I was a kid, they were surreal. LOL! dZ.

+DZ-Jay Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Fabian, eres espa o latino-americano? Pregunto porque tal vez sea mejor una version en Castellano.

+DZ-Jay Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I dont y but when i read this, it reminded me of this song. LOL! I said: "Are you Spanish or Latin-American? I ask because it may be better to have a Spanish version in Castilian (Spanish from Spain). My tongue, although refined, is merely the vulgar an pedestrian Spanish from Puerto Rico." Don't get me wrong, I speak and write Spanish excellently, but Latin-American Spanish has a slightly different vocabulary from Spain--especially in matters of technology. dZ.

jfabian Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) That's right, European and Latin American Spanish are different, I don't think there's such a big difference in vocabulary, though -- when I translate, I try to be as neutral as possible. You have to pay attention to regionalisms and certain specific things about grammar. I'm from Argentina.
