Hi there !

Can I suggest something ? Is it possible to split story translation and gameplay translation ?

Let me explain why it would be great :
- Focus on story translation. The game will more immersive in native language basically.
- This will (I hope) reduce the waiting time (at least for the story translation).
- This part don't need a retranslation at every patch so I don't think it is very expensive for GGG .

- Gameplay translation is more difficult and confusing for gameplay mecanism understanding (exemple with more/increase, on hit/when hit ...).
- It is not necessary and ,to share community content, even a disadvantage. I don't think it is attractive for an English guy to watch a full French translated build all fun/powerfull it can be for exemple...!

Hi there!

Great job so far guys but I'm a little concerned about the french translation.
I think your way of translating suffers from a too straight translation. It is lacking some "old french" words, turn of phrase wich lead to a lack of past ages flavor. Your are missing a way to strengthen the medieval-ish/fantasy background. It is a too simplistic or a too common french.

For an exemple:

Nessa, on Rhoas
"... mais je n'ai jamais rien mangé d'aussi ignoble."

You lost the impact of "foulest fowl" that sounds great.
You could do this:

"... mais ces volatiles sont les plus ignobles qu'il m'ait été donné de béqueter..."

The word volatiles refers to animals that got feathers and most of the time those in farms. And the word béqueter mean to eat but this word come from bec ( beak in english) and the same lexical root.

I hope my feedbacks are understandable.

Edit: was asking for en version but you did it while i was posting :p
