Forum DOFUS _ Typographical errors and spelling mistakes _ Translation - Improvements
Posted by: SmilyCelly 27 Nov 2007, 10:20
Dear players,
A second translator has come and joined us to go over the translations of DOFUS, improve their quality and make the game even more enjoyable for all of you.
Consequently, some names of items, spells and NPC have changed (and it will continue until we finish proofreading the entire game...!).
Obviously we'll keep on moving things around as we really want to make things better for you.
You can find the list of modifications below.
SmilyCelly, lead English translator

Hi !
We've done a lot of harmonization work in the DOFUS content which should improve the game!
One item changed names :
- Greykiss brown Flour (which did not make much sense) becomes Minx Flour (more coherent with its description!).
That's the only change, for now!

Mistranslations in the names of the soul stones for sale in the Bontarian and Brakmarian Arenas (from NPC Runoga Gha, and Runago Gho respectively) have been corrected and the names have been harmonised to make them easier to search for and their purpose more clear.
Their descriptions have been changed to make their purpose more clear. The text of the effect shown on the soul stone has also been corrected.
To that end:

- Happy Giga soul Stone becomes Lucky Soul Stone for Giga Souls
- Huge Happy Soul Stone becomes Lucky Soul Stone for Huge Souls
- Small Happy Soul Stone becomes Lucky Soul Stone for Small Souls

- Average Hazardous Soul Stone becomes Risky Soul Stone for Average Souls
- Big Hazardous Soul Stone becomes Risky Soul Stone for Big Souls
- Giga Haphazard Soul Stone becomes Risky Soul Stone for Giga Souls

The text of the stones' effect has been corrected from "x% capture of y soul of power" (for example, "25% capture of 50 soul of power") to "x% chance of capturing a power y soul" (for example, "25% chance of capturing a power 50 soul")
The text of the stones' description has been amended to "You'll have a limited/even/good chance of capturing level x souls using this soul stone." where limited/even/good changes depending on if the stone is Risky, Regular, or Lucky.
The initial names "Happy", "Hazardous" and "Haphazard" came from mistranslations of the French words
Heureuse and
Hasardeuse (in the context of the chance of the soul stone capturing a soul).

The text of the stones' description has been amended to reference the power of the soul that the stone can capture.
