Danish translation

Game Dev Tycoon translation

I already started on my own computer, but I can’t really start the project on the site because someone from Green Heart Games needs to do that.

As far as I have gathered from the other posts on the forum, it appears that a language requires two, experienced moderators in order to commence translation. This seems completely sensible, considering that the game is supposed to be a professional product, regardless of what language you’re playing it in. However, the requirement of having past experiences with translation seems harsh, given the fact that those criteria imply that you would have helped translate the game into another language. Trilingualism is quite rare to a degree where people can write fluently in all three languages. I think that there should be another way for a someone to gain the trust required to oversee a translation process. These are just my two cents, however. I hope that a danish translation project will be set in motion some day, and that I, and all the other eager forum members here, will be able to contribute.

I work in the danish gaming industry (not game industry, but slot machines and casual arcade games).
I did a large part of the english/danish translations, when my employer imported the Mega Touch casual arcade machine from PrimeTime Amusements, to the danish market.
This was like 10 years ago, and the Mega Touch never sold very well and was eventually pulled back, so you probably haven’t heard of it.

Never the less, I did approximately 80% of the translations of the games in the Mega Touch XL, and did corrections on the remaining 20%.
This Included quiz games, card games, board games, and a whole lot of other different casual games.

I’d love to chip in if Greenheart Games decides to go with a danish translation.

I think this is a very good idea, and I’d certainly be glad to help out translating! :slight_smile:

Hey Guys,

We are sorry for the delay, We have merged the last changes and are ready to open more languages if you are ready?
Can you suggest at least 2 moderators with previous experience?

I would be happy to help out with the translation! I have translated some of Civilization V, for my own personal use. Else, I haven’t translated any other games before. :slight_smile:

Hello, i would just say, that if anyone makes a danish translation project, then i am in. I was born in Denmark, and i have been working with danish grammar all my life. (im still in school) And i would really like to see a danish translation. Eller på dansk: Hej, jeg vil bare gerne sige, at hvis nogen laver en dansk oversættelse af spillet, så vil jeg rigtig gerne være med. Jeg er født i Danmark, og i alle mine skoleår har vi arbejdet med grammatik. (Selvom jeg stadig er i skole) Og jeg vil rigtig gerne se en dansk oversættelse. tt

Anyone started working on a danish translation yet? If not, I think I’ll get started just before or right after new years…
Send me a message if you wanna join in.

No problem. I will see if I can find one more :wink: In regards to previous translation experience, I have translated a handful of documentation material (professionally), so it should not be a problem. I cannot reference these documents as they are confidential (corporate owned documents), but you will just have to trust me on that one. :smile:

#28

Anyone up for this?

Or in danish: Skal vi ikke bare se at komme igang?

Hej, det ville da være mig en glæde at hjælpe dig. Som Engelsk - Dansk oversætter fra PPH, er jeg ret så meget oplagt.
Hilsen Sebastian.

Hey guys, Just checking in again. Do we have 2 moderators interested in a Danish translation at this time?

#31

I am interested :slight_smile:

#33

I am willing to help out. I am also currently a translator and community manager (danish community manager) of a browser game called FISHAO.

Thank you :smile:

#34

Why do we need a Danish translation? (I am Danish). Everyone who might play this knows English (basically, all Danes).

#35

well, you can say that about all the languages…

#36

Hey @Pyrros. Many thanks for offering to help, do you have any previous translation experience?
@JackBank. Thanks, lets keep an eye on the thread and see if we get enough interest :smile:
