We need more translators!!!
Right now, this is how many people are in each translation project - and take into account some of them have been inactive for quite a while too.
Bulgarian: 2 Croatian: 2 Czech: 1 Danish: 3 Dutch: 4 French: 1 German: 3 Greek: 0 Hebrew: 0 Hungarian: 3 Icelandic: 0 Italian: 3 Norwegian: 1 Polish: 5 Portuguese: 7 Romanian: 4 Serbian: 0 Slovak: 2 Slovenian: 0 Spanish: 4 Swedish: 1 Turkish: 0 Obviously, we NEED more translators... a LOT more. If you are good with any of the above languages (in addition to English), can devote a modest amount of time to translating reviews and want to help out - sign on to the translator groups ASAP |
who's the slovak one? vedermarch? count me in if i'm not the one
|
OK, added you to the translators.
|
Am I on the Croatian list? If I'm not add me.
|
Post in the translator subforum, F.A.G.
|
The Bard: You already are, yes.
|
I have already pmed Dave for the italian work ;)
|
I can do Serbian... but I'd prefer not to be the only one.
|
I can romanian, but first: what I would have to translate?
|
I just received the mail... I'd be glad to help again. I'm heading over to the German corner. :)
|
wow mr miau returned!
|
Fuck, somebody is really remembering me! :D
|
when i just joined i always thought you were some kind of abandonia donator because you had piggy with coins in your avatar and you were vip
|
Pex, I am thinking of joining Serbian team too... Let's see how many people we can find anyway...

I see you have 7 portugueses translators already, but if you need another one... I might have some free time once in a while. :)
P.S. Im portuguese from Portugal, not from Brasil. |
Hey, sure.
Added you to the translator group now. :) |
My native Language is spanish.. well Argentinian spanish :bleh:
can help you out a little. but,any little help comes handy nowdays :) if you need me , contact me plz :) |
Hi there. I signed in to help you with the translations. I am familiar with German and English.
So please tell me what to do and of course how to do it. |
i'd be willing to translate from English to Croatian

1. Pick a review 2. Translate that review 3. ??? 4. Profit! |
is there some web interface to use to submit the translation or what...? you should be a little bit clearer on this issue.
|
There is. But I'm not in a position to make you a translator. Someone from the Croation group should say something here.
|
Quote:
Yeah well...who is in charge for German? |
Just wait till tomorrow. Fifth will probably add you to the respective groups. You can then talk in your own thread/forum with the other translators for the same language
|

Luchsen is responsible for the German crew, but as TA said Fifth will probably unlock the translator forum for you tomorrow. Dann red' mer weiter. ;) |
Quote:
I've read the tutorial and it seems not that hard to upload my translations. Just two (I think last questions): Where is the special thread for the German translators? Is it "Translation of Abandonia to German"? The last post is from 2008? And: Can I start with translating now or is there a post in the special thread which says what's currently in progress to avoid double posts? |
It's in the Translator forum: "The German Crew"
|
Thanks a lot.
|
As I've said in another thread: If you need another spanish translator... count me in!
|
I could do both german and hungarian, if there's interest
|
I can also do German translations.
|
Somehow my Account does not work properly. I can't even edit my own posts. :confused:
|
Fixed!
|
Added all of you to translator group :), check this forum:
http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/forumdisplay.php?f=26 |
I always wanted to contribute some german translations to the site. But back in the days it was a bit confusing to me to how I had to choose a review and wether or not somebody else was already doing a translation on it.
I would join again if I clearly can see what's still to do. |
Haha, I guess the process is still the same. You can try again, though. ;)

I can translate my reviews to Serbian if you want, don't know if I have required willpower for regular translator job. :)
I noticed that there is a problem with "č and ć" in Serbian translations, insted of that "?" is shown. |
Browsing the site I saw that some of my favorite games do not have a review in my language (Italian).
I joined the forum because I like to do these translations to make these games visible to those Italians who do not speak English. Ok, my English is not the best but I think I can do the job. :p |
I can try translate into Serbian and Croatian. My mom's from Croatia and my Dad's from Serbia. So I know both languages, and can ask them for help etc :D?
|
Then please read the Signature Rules first. :D

My native language is Serbian and I also understand Russian. So I can translate from and to Serbian and from (but not to!) Russian.
But I don't know the beginning of this translating story... Where I can read it? |
Mike, check your PMs - Im in

Thanks Dave....
So what do I do now? Where do I start? You guessed it.... newbie! |
Uhoh....
Ok, so I translated the review for Albion, just to see how and what... Did everything according to the tutorial, added the file, and then found out there was already a dutch translation in place! :wall:
There's a duplicate on the site now, sorry... How do I know what files need translating? And is it necessary to post somethinh in the news section afterwards? It's not like there's a new game added, just a translation. Sorry if my questions seem dull. :doh: Quote:
|
Don't worry! :)
Have you contacted the dutch group? You should talk with them and coordinate everything together. Edit: complete lists of translated games in dutch => http://www.abandonia.com/nl/game/all |

Translator
I can translate to and from Serbo-Croatian (or better said, most of the gagillion languages in there) and possess a level of knowledge in Russian, French and German. I would mention a couple of other languages (dead ones), but I think they're surely not needed.

I can translate to Russian. But I still don't know, what job is. :)
|
Hi, Spectre, and welcome to Abandonia. :)
The translators' task is taking reviews from the English version of Abandonia, translating them into other languages and then adding the completed translations to the site. I gave you translator privileges on the site and the forum. You can use the translations forum to keep track of what's translated to your language - you'll have to ask Nick about that first, though, since he was our only Russian translator for a long time. Also, make sure to read the guide how to add new translations - the system is something of a work in progress right now, and has some peculiarities you need to be aware of. |
hi.
i can translate to and from Turkish. |
Hi, Horseman, and thank you. :)
Hmm, but I don't see where Russian is. Where to seek? |
There wasn't a coordination thread created for Russian language yet - like I said, it was a one-man effort for quite a long time. Feel free to start it. :)
|
Hi there im sorta new here But I can translate from*english to french and vice versa.
|

If anyone needs any help with some of the English (that it is written so it is hard to understand) I will be around to help to try and make sense of it.
I am usually here most days. Unless I start acting like a dickhead. It may be easier, if the English is said in many different ways, to find a suitable translation so that the meaning is conveyed accurately. (But I do tend to use 100 words when 1 will do...:max:) |

Great ! I am new to this website, so i'll have to check the rules and means of translating the reviews, but I certainly feel compelled to help this website. The web misses a good abandonware community since underdogs' demise.
|
Didn't notice that Luso had posted today =)
sorry :whistling: |
Do i have to be active, translating reviews all the time, if i volunteer as a english-danish translator?
|
Nobody expects you to be a terminator translating stuff 24/7. You're a volunteer, remember. Work at your own pace, as long as you can show results. :)
|
Well, then i volunteer as a danish translator
|
hey I'm new here (hell, I've just registered, been lurking Abandonia for two years or so) and I can help, I know Hebrew (my first language) and English being second so...

Will add you tomorrow.

I would like to help with the Bulgarian translation. I have some free time now and I would love to help.
|
I can help with norwegian translations.

All added to the group!
Bulgarian, Hebrew and Norwegian groups aren't active yet, this means you are the first pioneers! :) Create the topic dedicated to your language and coordinate yourself. Translation Stuff |
some questions, playing a bit with the translation tools:
How do I change the Game name? how do I change the name of the genres and the such? |
You can't change the names of games. There is no reason to do that.
Genres and tags have to be changed by an admin. You can translate the rest of the (translatable) interface here. But note: The search is case sensitive, and there are some strings with upper and lower case initial letter for different functions. |
Quote:
|
Simply reminding about Russian tags and genres. Thank you. :)
|
Yes, I opened a task in Task Management to not forget that. Till now, I didn't have the nerve to mess with the dozens of identical tags we have. :embarassed: But besides that it is not a big deal, so I will do it soon. ;)
|
Okay..... So I registered as a dutch translator a couple of weeks ago, found the Dutch Crew on the "Translator Stuff Forum", unfortunately only after accidently adding a second dutch review for Albion. I checked with the dutch translators, but the forum seems to be kinda dead... Any ideas on who to contact or how to revive the Dutch Crew? I've got some spare time on my hands again, and would really like to help out, but don't know where to start.
Thnx. |
Have you contacted these? They are active, use PM system:

I have a degree in english language and translator experience so i could prove myself helpful if needed ;) |

Hey - which languages need translators most..?
I'm gonna stick this up on facefriend. It'd be good to have a few posts ready-made in the needed languages and I don't trust online-translators... Last time, I think the % users was: American, German, UK, then I can't remember... :doh: There are a *lot* of Indian and Middle East people joined up on Facebook, but there're also a lot of every other nationality. Except Icelandic. Don't think I've met anyone from Iceland yet. |

Just logged into Abandonia for the first time in a while and the entire site was in Swedish. This is too weird...
What exactly does it mean to be on the translator groups anyway? I might help out if you need a swedish translator, but I'm no computer whiz so you'd have to give me pretty clear instructions. |
Hi There!
To be a translator is pretty simple. All that is done; Take an English original text and translate it, in this case, into Swedish. We have a special forum for the translators with instructions. Send me a PM if you wish to help out, or write so here, and we'll get you going. There are NO requirements. |

POE for translators?
If I can remember well from the time I was the only one administrator for a very long time, the concrete amount of POE have been designated to the translators. But, because of some Drupal issue, I was not able to add them to translators profile after the site transition!
Is this problem solved for the old translators [In that case Sebatianos will got peerless advantage at our member list], and how you manage it now!? |

Hi there.
I've been dling from abandonia ever since I can remember and have recently found out that you guys are looking for translators. In two years time I'm going to be a qualified translator (Eng - Slov) and until then I've got all the time in the world to help you guys translate texts to Slovene and German, if needed. Hope to hear from ya. |
Hi guys!
I think I could give the Bulgarian team a hand... or two... :) |
Well,
why not put to good use what took blood, sweat and tears to learn properly? Count me in on the German Crew, please. |
I could translate from English to Czech.
|
hmm maybe we could merge czech/slovak reviews in one category. or is that not a good idea?
what do you think, kenor |
Well why not I suppose every Czech can read in Slovakian language and vice versa. There are some Slovak reviews in Czech section already.
|
Hi all :hello:
I've been working with comic scanlations for over three years, that means translating from swedish to english... so I could probably manage to do translations from english to swedish ;) |

I've filled in my translators group join in request...
I can help up with Polish translations. I belive I'll have enough time to do anything between 2 and 5 reviews a week, depending on a size and how much time I'll have. I know it's not a lot but that's always some help... Also within next 6-12 months I should be able to do some basic Japanese translations if necessary. I know the basics but before I get into anything serious I'd like to get a little bit more in depth with this magnificent language. I suppose I could start then with some news and we would see if I would manage to extend it to Japanese reviews over time. So far, however, I'll stick to my Polish translations offer. ^__^ |
Hi TotalAnarchy,
I could help with the German Translations. holydiver95 a.k.a. ClassicGameingFan |
Great, see the tutorial for more information and additional permissions.

You just gained access to the Translation forums. It should be above Abandonia Games Discussion. In it you'll find your team's thread and the tutorial.

I could possible work with German as well, although my grammar skills are pretty rusty. :smile2: |

Hi! I've been lurking on Abandonia for years and finally decided to make an account. Polish is my first language, so I'd like to contribute and make some translations. Already applied for a Translator status.
|
Possible Greek and/or Italian translator reporting in.:hello:
Just applied. |
Do you need Finnish translator? If you do I could help.
|
A Swedish traslator looking where to sign up!
|
We are sorry but recruitment has been stopped, the site is affected by a bug which prevent translators to upload their work on gamepages.
Technicians tried to solve the problem many times without success, it'll take a long time to find a solution, they have to work on a new Drupal module adaptable to our needs. |
I czech translator please. I can help you
|
we need a coordinator too. I can translate, but noone really knows what is the next most wanted translation, its difficult to find what HAS been translated
is there a "job" list, like with requested games? who'll do review, screenshots, whatever..... some lists. It isnt easy to find that sort of thing then and there, it is even worse for translation and/or spelling check i dont know what would help, but a wikipedia aproach may help, let everyone edit a page, but only after devs, mods or whoever aproves it it will be visible to the public and is it possible to add some translator tools at the reviews? when you are logged in, something like "translate this page"? havnt seen it |

|
I could do Finnish translations :)
|
As above apply through My Settings> Group Memberships.
Thank you for offering your services. |
Is there maybe some kind of list of what needs translating?
I don't like looking around and trying to get lucky, since i don't have much time as it is, but here and there i may find a free hour for a translation. So it would be nice if i could just pick something from a list without making people wait for me to do a assigned one. I'm a native german speaker, with english is my 2. language which i use every day, so i guess i should be capable of doing this. But if you give me the time feel free to just send me one to translate via pm. :OK: I would be happy to give something back to abandonia. :loveab: |
You just search for a review that isn't translated, make sure it isn't taken by any of the other german translators and do it by yourself.
|
I'm not signed as a traslator yet!o.o
|
Thanks for making me a translator!

Here you can see some stats (updated during July), number of Translations and other details: http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/../...d/flags/en.png English Reviews = 1328 1. http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/../...d/flags/es.png Spanish Team => 1316 Translations (99%), Tags ✔We have added new languages like Arabic, Estonian, Indonesian and Bulgarian so if you want to help please let us know :) Thank you for all your efforts guys. |
Well, it seems you've somehow managed to use outdated information regarding the number of hungarian translations on site Dave, because now we have 121 reviews in our language. So our statistics are these:
http://www.abandonia.com/sites/defau...d/flags/hu.png Hungarian Team => 121 Translations (11%), Tags ✔ I didn't mean to offend you in any way, it's just one of our members, a certain dam put extra effort in the project and just uploaded 11 translations. |
You are right of course, I updated them the first days of July, I do periodical updates to see the progress made, the next one I'll post will feature more stats, for example:
http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/../...d/flags/hu.png Hungarian Team => 121 Translations :up: (+X reviews) (X%), Tags ✔ |
If I'm correct from now on you will count how many reviews belong to nations?
|
Yes, just to keep track of progress made :)
|

The Spanish crew is one of the most active we ever had, we have 1316 Spanish translations on a total of 1335 English reviews.
This means that there aren't many reviews left for you to translate and the choice is minimal, but you are welcome in any case :) I'm sending you a Pm with details, thank you for your help. |
Please add me to the Russian team if it still exists. Can translate to Russian

We have added new languages to the site expanding our confines to the Orient: Traditional Chinese and Japanese. :) As you can see there's activity and we had the first real positive results, especially from Hungarian, Italian, Slovenian and French teams.

Hello to all translators here on Abandonia!
My name is Alessandro and I am an Italian professional translator (or at least I should be, since I have just graduated in translation studies and I'm still looking for a job...) with a strong passion for retrogaming. You're still looking for translators, aren't you? Well, having a lot of spare time at the moment, I can help you by providing a number of translations. Think of the advantages for both of us: you would find an experienced English to Italian translator who would let your project speed up (I translated a couple of games in the few past years, and I also have some experience in journalism dating back to high school), whereas I'd keep on practicing my translation skills whilst waiting for a professional role in the industry. So please, may I join the Italian translation team? I know I am a newcomer here, and if this is a problem, never mind: I'll come back when I have reached the minimum number of posts required. But if not, please take me into consideration... |
Benvenuto su Abandonia Alessandro, felice di conoscerti :)
Clearly your skills are more than adequate for the role and the Italian team will definitely benefit from your help. I'm preparing you a personal message with details and other important info. |
Now we have a professional translator :OK:
|
*boast mode on*Oh, well, I am sort of professional English->Russian translator too. At least, professional enough to receive money for it!*boast off*
Welcome aboard, Spolygmar! :) |

I could try a hand for the Slovenian translations. Give me a go because i'm a complete stranger here, and strangers are to be trusted :D
But yeah, I consider myself good at both the English and Slovenian language. Also I noticed that there are no Slovenian translators, I assume that you are in fact in need of one, and I'd be happy to devote some of my free time to translations, Thanks for taking your time. Hope you consider me :3 Sorry for double posting, but I got paranoid and thought that it glitched up ;c |
Actually the Slovenian team has been very active during 2011 :)
Please check your Pm inbox for details. |
Hello, long time no see :)
I can help with Greek or Russian one's but i am not as active as i was long time ago ... C U |
Hey!
I can help with Portuguese (not Brazilian) translations if it's necessary... |
If you still require assistance in the german section I'd like to offer my service.

I used to be a translator
Hi guys!
I have been a translator once, but my status is gone? I thougt it'd be cool to do some stuff, but I couldn't access the translator forum; which I can understand, because I haven't been active for a long time. So is there any chance to reactivate my status? I want to support you again! I can do English-German. |
Hey all!
I'm new here and I love this site so I'd like to help out. If you need another dutch translator, just tell me what to do. |
Hey everyone,
New to the site and would like to contribute as much as possible. I am a Native Portuguese speaker and my English is good (trying to sound modest :D). Anyway, just tell me what I need to do! Thanks! |

If you're looking for someone to translate to the Dutch language: let me know!

Judging from the translation stats the translations are on track, but in case you are still looking for translators you can contact me.
|
sportyjeans, you forgot to say to what language you can translate. :)
|
I can translate into Dutch and Norwegian
|
Unfortunately, I am not in power here, sportyjeans, and Dave, who usually gives rights is absent now... Try to PM Lulu_Jane, maybe she will give you translation rights and guide to translation?
|
Wow!
What a shame for my BG! Only 2 Bulgarians and one of them, namely yoga the lazy hooligan ignores this important work. Shame, shame.:picard: But what to do, dear mates, RPG are my weak point and i am unable to stop gaming. Maybe, maybe in some nice day, i hope, hmmm.. :hihihi: I am not guilty but RPG.. If i pass Wizardry 6, my game list reaches 76 games! Great! |

Hello, I'm new (freshly joined), but I'd really like to help! I'm a native spanish speaker (from Argentina), and speak fluent english as well.., I don't know how the search for translators is going currently, but if you need help, don't hesitate to ask me! :)

Hello everyone,

I signed up a long time ago but haven't use the website since a long time...Now I'm back :-) :lame: Thanks Enzo |
Sure they are, still a lot of reviews to translate ;)

Hi, catarinateles, you are welcome here. :) Unfortunately, I cannot authorize you to give you needed rights (I am not in staff), but I am sure that someone will contact you.
|
Can i translate from english language to romanian language ?
|
Hi Roarke, you're now a translator. I'll send you a PM with details.
I also sent a PM to Catarina some days ago to confirm if she's interested. We're open for business! :-) |
Quote:
|
Thank you all. I made a System Shock translation, to my language.
|
I would like to help
Romanian? Add me, i'm romanian so i can do a complex translate in romanian! :)
|
Hi Stunts, many thanks!
I'll do the following for all applicants as a formality: pick one first translation to make (after posting on this thread), send it to me via PM, then I'll make you a regular translator so you can publish future ones yourself! :-) |
Hi there.
31 y.o Swedish long time user of Abandonia. I feel like I want to give back something, for all years of just taking :max: Ive sent you the translation for Constructor EDIT: Damn, the language setting must have reset, I can now see that its allready been translated, Ill come back with another translation in time EDIT2: The Swedish translation are excelent, does not seem to need any more translators there. Well if you want more Swedish translators I am always avalible EDIT3: Found some news + some of the new games that needed translation, sent you a PM. Sorry for all the Edits ;D oh well, better than new posts. |
Hi, does you still need Brazilian Portuguese translation? I'm willing to help :smile2:
|
Hi all,
The site has nice selection of languages, but not Ukrainian, which is a pity. I can make translations to Ukrainian if you're interested. It would be really nice to have a Ukrainian version of the site. |
Hi Nouras, that would be very welcome. Sorry for the slow response.
Please pick your first game, and when your translation is ready please post here and I'll guide you on how to publish it. Then you can continue on your own with as many as you want. If I take too long to respond feel free to PM me. |
If you still need someone :)
I can do serbian if you want in my free time, 'cus I just caught myself lurking on this site for hours :smile2: I mean it's kinda cool, but I could spend that time better, like helping you guys when I can :smile2:
I'm old school gamer and I love old games :max: If you need someone for that, PM me with instructions, or just point me to the right direction... :OK: |
You are always welcome, Putishka, but you need approvement from the "real" site moderators (unfortunately, I am not one from them).
What is your nick means, BTW? :) Looks slavic, but in my Russian, first part (that is "Put") haven't any suitable meaning... :) |
Quote:
|
Hi Putishka, in case you want to be a translator just choose any game that hasn't been translated yet and write your translation. I or Spectre can publish it. After this for translating more games let me know and I can guide you so you can do it by yourself.
PS could you replace the embedded YouTube video in your signature with a link or something smaller? Right now your signature exceeds maximum size sorry :-) |

Uh, Serbian crew is dead mostly. There are some translations that never got published. I need to look into that. I will let you know, Putishka

This forum is more about history now than anything else, I guess... |
You can PM the translation to both Spectre and me when you're done, :-) whoever can publish it first.
I remember The Niles but if I had any memory that he changed from Picard it's so distant now... Picard on AB does ring some bell too though. |
Hi, I can help with the Italian translations (website/reviews). I'm new to the forum, I have one review (Super Street Fighter II Turbo PC) ready, do I have to pm it to an admin in order to publish it?
|
Ottimo! :OK:
|
Err... I apologize if what I am going to say next lower your enthusiasm and expectations, but according to Admins and Mods, Abandonia has many bugs yet to be fixed. :headslap: :palm: :picard:
Among them is the bug that messes up :sick: the Game Tags in a way that gets a little complicated when trying to search for games using such Tags. :what: This is one of the reasons why the Translation Team have stopped their work... Besides, many old Members have become inactive or absent since then. :byesad: |
Not exactly. Bug with tags consist of auto-replacing all tags when someone edits Mother (i.e. English) node.
And it would be actually good if not fact that tags index database is destroyed, and any connected game receives semi-random tags in such case. I tried several years to reconstruct tags. In vain. It seems, broken part is inaccessible from the translator side, and there is no auto-fix solution. But you totally can edit your tags manually. And while no one edit English game, all connected tags remains the same. ;) |
Oh I see...I'm still willing to contribute to the project though, if not now hopefully in the near future when it will be restarted.
It's great to play these good old games again after so many years, they are still pretty exciting and made history; kudos to the community for the commitment to making it possible, keep up the good work |

I will explain better: Let’s take today’s problematic Screenshot as an example: http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/24...es+Castle.html http://www.abandonia.com/de/games/31...es Castle.html http://www.abandonia.com/es/games/27...es Castle.html You notice that in the original English version, the game number is 24645. In the German version, the number is 31486 while in the Spanish version it is 27262. In the past, I thought that such a number would be in Arithmetic Progression, in which as the game is added to the Abandonia Library, as well as the User Number (my User Number 27490). So, I imagined that the Number of the game was the same regardless of the chosen Language. :dunno: Another hypothesis would be that such game number would be in Arithmetic Progression as the game would be added (via Translation) to the Library of the respective Language. Would you know how to clarify this for me? |
It's arithmetical progression, but it works not like you are imagine it. All entries exists in the same database (it's about games, companies and who knows what else). And number is unique identifier - actually, _only_ matter identifier. Others are tags and placeholders that means nothing for database. So if someone would publish game #123, and next entries will be translations to Spanish and German, it would be #124 and #125. But if someone will publish another game after #124, it will be #125, and hypothetical German translation will became #126.
There is no internal connections between reviews (and it's another old headache of me), and all such connections mantained into some other databases. You totally can try "url hack" and call any review by it's number. Only remember that it will bypass all external connection, and replace it with given tags. So, for example, take your Spanish Dragon's Lair: http://www.abandonia.com/es/games/27...%20Castle.html es is the Spanish tag. "Games" indicates that it's from games database. Number is unique. Name means nothing at all. So if you'll supply, say, finnish tag (fi) and give it any other name (Commando.html), but remain the number - you'll see the same page. http://www.abandonia.com/fi/games/27262/Commando.html Only system "thinks" it's Finnish now, and made all interface appropriate way. So there are totally exists "lost" games in database if something was changed in the wrong order, game was never published or removed from publication. And you can accidentally find such "non-connected" reviews, if you'll set random numbers. (Actually, I did it when I downloaded all site content - unfortunately, I never sorted it out). |
Quote:
In fact, I realized that the same review of the same language can have more than one number... :wacko: :hypno: And it is unfortunate that games (and / or reviews) lost or not-connected can exist here. :no: |
