Rewrite the localization of Total War Warhammer (Total War: Warhammer)
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=861260318Author's corrections in Russian localization, approximate it to the original game's atmosphere.
Accordingly, Russian armybook WHB and adopted in ru-community title was considered, but the unquestioned authority was not. So, don't blame me :)
Briefly about done:
- Created completely from scratch edit localization
- Removed Blatta and criminality in the localization of greenskins
- Large-scale editing of texts, including not only the correction of the names of the teams and their game descriptions, but also correction of names/descriptions of artifacts, abilities, diplomacy, dialogue and even character names
UPD. Carried out full adaptation of changes for DLC Norsk.
As before, the change was not only the title and description, and other game texts.
For example, underwent a major edit for correct translation of terms Marauder, Champion, Challenger, etc.
Along the way, was fixed various typos found and corrected strange sounding names of lords and heroes (like the Disgraced - the Infamous Jerk))
A number of examples (in parentheses are given the option official. localization) [in brackets is my comment]:
Marauders - Marauders (Robbers)
Champions Marauder - Marauders are the Champions (Robbers warriors)
Skin Wolves - Vacature (Volgenau) [essentially Accurate title Koinonia wolves did not sounded so I used mentioned in the English text the term Wolf-thing]
Skin Wolf Werekin - Vollkommer-the werewolf (Volgenau werewolves) [mn. the number of standing correctly - it's about the only hero]
Fimir Balefiend Fiber-Slayer of (the demon Disastrous Temirov) [As follows from the English description, the term fiend is applied to the entire race Temirov, so priority has become the translation of Bale]
Removed confusion in the translation of the Champion/Warrior/Challenger with the term warrior.
Now Champion is always a champion. At the same time it has removed a strange construct of the form I am a warrior of warriors.
The warrior is left to translate the nickname of the Combatant
Ethernal Challenger (the title of Wulfric) - Poedinok Eternal (Eternal warrior)
Challenger of the Crow/Hound ... - Poedinok Crow/Dog ... (the Applicant Crows/PSA)
Black-Horbed Ravagers - Chernomorye Destroyers (Chernorechye robbers)
Draklwald Destroyers of the Destroyers of Drakwald (Drakalski killer)
Defenders of the Fleur-De-Lis - the defenders of the Lilies (Lilies of the Guardians)
The Great Mawherd of Bloodfjord - herd Bolshebryukhova Bloody Fjord (the Great herd of the Bloody fjord) [talking about the mammoths]
calf mammoth -> a baby mammoth
Fixed a lot of typos format He has tried THREE times to return to Karak-Eight-Peaks - and BOTH TIMES failed., look and find instead of seek and destroy
Examples of previous changes (just some) for causing the most heated debate following names:
Greenskins:
Boss/Big Boss/Warboss/Warlord - Boss/BigBoss/Warboss/Warlord (option from the Boss/Big boss/military Commander/Governor was considered, but the text looked too alien)
da Boyz/da Ladz - Fighters/Guys (in my opinion, the fighters resonate well with the boyz and do not give rise to associations with guys in the village).
Big Uns - Hoosier
Arrer Boyz - Soldiers lucari (for transmission distortion name
Well, etc.
On dwarves:
Quarrelers - Skirmishers (Quarrel after all, and the name of an archaic crossbow bolts/arrows)
Miners - Miners
Irondrakes/Ironbreakers - the Iron dragons/Homewrecker
Gyrocopter and girolomoni in stock
Empire:
Greatswords - Zweihander ( NOT Doppelsoldner, as is the term for the soldiers double pay from the assault troops of the first line, which are not always carried two-handed swords)
General of the Empire/Empire Captain of the Empire Knights - General of the Empire/the Imperial captain/Imperial knights
Handgunners - Musketeers
Outriders - Cavalry
Pistoliers - Pistolera (Pistoletiki retired from the game)
Chaos:
Steel Marauders Marauders, Sorcerer - warlock, Giant - giant, Aspiring Champions - Hopefuls Champions
Vampires:
Book of Blood/Keep Blood/Blood Knights, the Book of blood/Bloody citadel/crimson knights
Master Necromancer - Master necromancer
Strigoi Ghoul King - Upalny King-Striga
Lichemaster (nickname) - Winner Lich
Vampire Lord - the vampire Lord
Hexwraiths - Ghost reapers (compile c another Nathaniel - Reaper Knights)
Serology:
Warherd/Brayherd Combat edge/Roaring GURT
Morghur Shadowgave Of Morgor Gift Shadow
Gorebull - Ramming bull
Of course, this is not all. So everyone can see it for themselves.
Constructive suggestions are welcome, rays of hatred is ignored :)
Always surprised such transfers. Why do they need, and with such a curvature. Warherd/Brayherd Combat edge/Roaring GURT the most simple example, the herd it is actually a herd or a crowd, what a fucking GURT?

- Removed Blatta and criminality in the localization of greenskins
Uh, nothing that the orcs universe Vahi that fantasy that 40K, communicate, in the original lexicon is that English homeboys? The point of cleaning?

>>Um, nothing that the orcs universe Vahi that fantasy that 40K, communicate, in the original lexicon is that English homeboys? >>Sense to remove?
The reasoning is as follows.
Greenskins are barbarian murderers. For their speech in the English language was partly used slang British lumpen elements (in terms of rudeness, but not criminality) and partially mangling the words to the imitation of pronunciation interferes with talking canines.
Add to this that in the localization task was to convey the speech of barbarians, murderers, and not Argo the British lumpen elements, because the transferred film by guy Ritchie.
Accordingly, there is no logic in translation Krimson Killerz like Red Mokrushnikov not be traced, and that was eliminated.
