Sounds good enough, but remember one proper rule in English - we do this all the time- do not end a sentence in a preposition by itself.

#In Raven's letter, they talked about a temple and that he has been trying to get into.
DECLINE

#In Raven's letter, they talked about a temple and that he has been trying to get into (it).
DECLINE

#In Raven's letter, they spoke about a temple, and he's been trying to get into it.

Yes, yes, yes.

More discrepancy:

We do not wish to get away to far from the original German text.

________________________________
@Aftermath
That is not what he ask first meeting Snarf.

@Whailor: As for * What good* it really is does not make any sense. But that does not sound "gothic" that is modern lexicon.
Leave it as it is:

#What good meals do you have to offer. (or better yet, the original as written).
Xerx
What tasty meals do you have (to offer me) ?

Take your pick, whatever sounds the best. I would say,!! "Got anything decent for sell worth eating?"!! In Gothic 1, it was Meatbug Stew (yuck).

We do not not know ' I want to test a new recipe' yet. It is in the dialog flow.
He is asking in a Old English way "What good tasty meals do you have to offer?" Then Snaf explains why.


Some lines added to Snaf:

#We're assuming that it leads into the lost valley, in which the old culture must have built their city. (It is built, not build past tense). Sorry I see DECLINE caught that: Built, not build.

@Whalior, we are using international English, we say harbor, not harbour. Favor, not favour, I do not mean to upset anyone. Gothic does not use UK English.

Of course, I can be wrong, this for open discussion. I am not the final say - so please add your opinion. I do not wish to be a hog. I am not perfect and that is why several opinions will come to a nice conclusion. OK?

I should have written it better. It's not "aftermath". What I mean is, that is the line after the one in question.

The dialogue works like this:

What does Lennar think about Esteban?
As I understand this, Lennar can NOT think.

Thus, #As far as I can tell, Lennar can NOT think.

Seems to me that Whailor made a typo: good => goods

#What tasty meals do you have to offer me?
Xerxes712, Whailor

or

#Got anything decent (for sell) worth eating?
Taken from original G1 dialogue

I'll leave this as it is; cothyso will make the final decision.

Whailor uses the US spelling. It's my fault, as I use the UK spelling most of the time.

As I said, there may be some typos in my text. Happens in anyone's text. And Kiwi Boy is correct, it should have been "What goods" there.

As for english, then if we'd have to decide which one to use, I personally would suggest UK english style. Simply because it fits better with fantasy worlds and games and existed in the past, while US itself and US english wasn't even planned back in old days Of course, I don't use "pure" UK english, simply because my own english is a mix of two, between UK and US english. English is not my native language and I have self learnt it from many sources, computer being the main source. So, my english is a mix of them both.

But in the end, it doesn't matter to me what english is used, as long as the text is understood by all. But, yeah, preferrably as little US english as possible, since it just doesn't fit the 'historic or fantasy' setting too well. Let it be UK, or international, neutral one

Indeed, the original Gothic uses US English, not only the spelling, but sometimes the vocabulary.

Let us keep it consistent. Although we do have quite a bit of language differences... e.g.

Now don't tell me you haven't hear the name Skip before. My arse, where are you from?


@Xerxes712: I won't post any more corrections right here. You can find the new corrections at the first post of this thread.

Glad to see everyone has an agreement. Well, it looks as if most of the little snags have been solved. Good work people! And thanks for the clarifications.

I think all these changes will definitely make the second iteration of the Mod an even better read to enjoy, due to everyone's hard work and input.

Many people never think how much that goes into a translation. Not only the initial difficulty of one language into another, there are unique phrase (word) usage, culture view, style, and other things.

It is amazing how well the whole project has come along. Over a dozen people put in alot of effort; and I, along with the community, appreciate it!

@Xerxes712: To be honest, not many people seem to be helping out; in fact, most don't read this thread -- not even those who have high post count. Kind of disappointing...

So you guys are going to release an updated version of the mod?
How long till you estimate it might be ready? Reason I ask is because I was just about to start playing NOTR with the English mod version 1.0.
Knowing that the saved games won't be compatible between different versions,
maybe I should wait until the next mod is released. What do you think?

{The former clause "I can't shake the feeling" dominates the sentence, even though the latter clause "You are not who you pretend to be" is what the hero is trying to say.}

Actually, it is OK the way it is written originally. It may sound odd, but in native English we really do say it that way. "I can't shake the feeling" is being used as the the subject and verb with 'that you are not who you pretend to be" is the object of the large senetence. Subject-verb-object.

#I can't shake this feeling that you're not who you pretend to be. UPDATE

I see alot are not envolved, but many may not even have the add-on? It is a bit of a pain to get it from Germany.


More to come....

You certainly do have a very good grasp of English! For it not maybe being your native language. Localized English has fine subtlety, as all languages do, which usually takes a lifetime to master.

The more I think about that "shake feeling" sentence, it would be better to have it read:

"I can't shake the feeling that you're not who you pretend to be."

To:

#I can't shake this feeling that you're not who you pretend to be.

Quorhodon is refering back to himself, and thus using the word *this feeling* is better than plain *the feeling*.

Yes, you can go with that phrase. But I would make it more inclusive:

#The ancient builders were a very advanced civilization.

@JDR13:

Go ahead and play the game. Don't let your excitement die down. We are not changing the scripts in any way, so the old saves will be compatible with the new version.

The text in your quest log is embedded in your save and will not update to the newer version. That's about all the flaws you will get.

I'm planning to finish this project by the next weekend. The final list will be sent to cothyso.

I went to the most remote part of the island, because I wanted some peace!

Civil war, marauding bandits, hoards of orcs on my doormat ...

That wasn't for me. Not anymore. I drop out of all that madness.

There are some orcs here too, but not nearly as many.

About the stone tablets ...
Shall I teach you how to read them?
(hastily) But you won't get mine!. You'll have to get your own.
It's quite simple, really. A 'G' is an 'O', a 'T' is an 'H' and an 'I' is a 'C'.
Once you got that, the rest will fall into place ...
I don't think I can teach you anything else ...

Really? Gimme that! Let's see if they fit.

Hmm, what can I possibly give you? I handed all my gold over to a pirate for the passage.
All I can give you are some old stone tablets.
Here, take them. I can always find some more.
