Re: Questions about translations in SimuTranslator Reply #76 – October 17, 2009, 11:06:36 pm Well, ok, the reason was that there were no copyright entries when those vehcile were introduced first. And thus the names were included (like on pak128 too, btw). Quote Selected
Re: Questions about translations in SimuTranslator Reply #77 – October 17, 2009, 11:35:10 pm Oh I mean long after the copyright entries were introduced - and actually regardless of them being there, he was angry. Quote Selected
Re: Questions about translations in SimuTranslator Reply #78 – October 18, 2009, 11:39:30 am Yes, because those name felt liek a part of the experience. It was probably partly my fault, and I reverted them. So now we stick to this rule for pak64. It was just an explainantion, albeit a too short one. Quote Selected
Re: Questions about translations in SimuTranslator Reply #79 – October 18, 2009, 07:30:11 pm My thought was that the companies might get upset (though on a personal level, I don't get this; it is an homage... but as a businessperson, I can understand that letting people use your trademarks can get sticky).Thanks for all the info. It will help with translating the vehicles. Quote Selected

Re: Questions about translations in SimuTranslator Reply #84 – October 20, 2009, 03:53:26 am Hochsitz 1 and 2... I'm guessing these are "Forest Ranger's Tower"s, from the way I see them appear in the game. Does that sound right? Quote Selected
Re: Questions about translations in SimuTranslator Reply #85 – October 20, 2009, 07:35:27 am This is used on germany by hunter for shooting game like boars and deers. But forest ranger sound certainly nicer. My dictionary say "raised hide" albeit I never heard that word before. Quote Selected

I translated it high seat.So, it's a deer stand/tree stand, not a tower for forest rangers to watch for forest fires?EDIT:Another question: What in-game difference is there between MonorailFoundation and MonorailGround? Or is it okay to give them the same translation? The only use I have seen for them is that the game automatically puts one of them under a depot on a raised mono/MLM way, or if the player wants to put one under a raised station for aesthetics.I see in the translator that the Foundation one is a station extension. Is the Ground one what the game puts under a depot? Quote Selected Last Edit: October 20, 2009, 06:56:33 pm by skreyola
Re: Questions about translations in SimuTranslator Reply #87 – October 28, 2009, 05:10:17 am What are these meanings, "No suitable ground! 1" and "No suitable ground! 3".Currently these keywords are not in SimuTranslator but in source code.Quote // ok, now we have old_stop if( h.is_bound() && !(bd->is_halt() || (h->get_station_type()&haltestelle_t::dock && bd->ist_w****er()) ) ) { // not this halt ... return "No suitable ground! 1"; } // check waytypes if( waytype[0] == invalid_wt && (bd->ist_w****er() || bd->hat_wege()) ) { // ok; } else { if( (waytype[0] == water_wt && bd->ist_w****er()) || bd->hat_weg(waytype[0]) || bd->hat_weg(waytype[1]) ) { // ok; } else return "No suitable ground! 3"; } Quote Selected

Re: Questions about translations in SimuTranslator Reply #90 – November 06, 2009, 11:43:20 pm With the 2Raffinerie and 3Raffinerie, are these factories eventually going to be era-dependent, such that a gas refinery appears in the late 19th/early 20th century, and then later on, refineries that also make plastics appear? If so, is there any reason not to translate them both as "Oil Refinery"? At least in the States, they are called Oil Refineries no matter what they produce, except if they make only plastics, in which case one would be called a "Plastic Factory" Quote Selected
Re: Questions about translations in SimuTranslator Reply #91 – November 07, 2009, 07:49:37 pm 2Raffinery is only there for compatibility with old savegames and thus it should get the same name. Quote Selected
Re: Questions about translations in SimuTranslator Reply #92 – November 08, 2009, 07:12:10 am Thank you.I would also suggest that the AAC factory produce "Concrete Mix" since it is combining cement and stone, and therefore is not just producing "... Stones"... also, the Aerated Autoclaved Concrete business is too long for reasonable station names and info windows.Shall I effect this change, along with calling the factory a Cement Mix Factory? The info about AAC could remain in the dummy_info text.Thoughts? Quote Selected
Re: Questions about translations in SimuTranslator Reply #93 – November 08, 2009, 07:10:02 pm No, because when the production was changed from concrete to AAC stones (whoever put the long word in there again?) I could change it form special freight (concrete which is never shipped by train in reality, since on has less than 8 hours to use it) to AAC stones to have at the same time the environmental idea pushed and could use piece goods for the stones pallets.Also at the home market you would not buy ready made concrete by rather stones in larger amounts (even conpared to concrete mix).

Quikcrete), and consumers can buy just one 20#-50# bag, so I'd say if what we're talking about is a crated good, it would make more sense that it's that kind of a bag mix, and that would make sense with the use of trains for transporting it. After all, wet mix is usually taken direct from the mixing factory to a job site, not to an intermediate reseller, at least where I live.Thoughts? Quote Selected
Re: Questions about translations in SimuTranslator Reply #95 – November 08, 2009, 08:33:22 pm Usually the ratio between stones and mix is rather one stone pallete and one bag, at least it was when I last built a house. Thus I changed it to stones (which as made at similar facitiies. Espeically the factory do look rather like something producing stones.) Athough it was an artistst rendering anyway ... Quote Selected
Re: Questions about translations in SimuTranslator Reply #96 – November 08, 2009, 08:42:39 pm What we buy here is a bag with stones already in the cement to form a just-add-water concrete mix. But if that's definitely not (and not going to be) what the game factory makes, then I guess I'll leave it alone. Quote Selected
Re: Questions about translations in SimuTranslator Reply #97 – November 08, 2009, 10:14:33 pm Since it is for the english language area, I am not sure. I was speaking for the german one.

I was speaking for the german one. Maybe an british opionion would be nice. Honestly, I forgot, you can accomodate it to something useful. (However, remeber this good is available from 1919.)Okay, after a little bit of search-engine-fu, I realize I was mistaken about what was actually being produced. I was picturing small stones. It appear to be referring to what we in the States call "cinder blocks" or "concrete blocks" (though some of the pictures I found were not of cellular blocks but columns, arches, and other forms. Shipping cinder blocks by rail would make a lot of sense, as would selling them at a construction/home market.I wonder how difficult it would be to make the factory produce cinder blocks at first, then both cinder blocks and bags of concrete mix when mix bags became available historically.My recommendation, as an English speaker, would be to call the good type "Concrete Blocks" and the factory "Concrete Factory" or "Block Factory".I don't want to make these changes without hearing from one or more British or European native English speaker.This type of factory could make other things from similar inputs, including "bricks", "pavers", and "birdbaths".Thoughts, anyone?
