Mr. Krystal Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Over time, I will eventually put up a phonetic Saurian translation. I worked a bit on it tonight. I wanted to show off some new things I found. There are several errors in the subtitles. I managed to figure out most of the ones I hadn't figured out here. These corrections come from trial and error listening to the Saurian pronunciations in the game and then working out better matching wording.Krystal:It said something about a mountain hidden in a storm.Ak juat jemokxadw ureik u meidkuad xattod ad u jkehm.Should be...It said something about a mountain hidden within a storm.Ak juat jemokxadw ureik u meidkuad xattod nakxad u jkehm.General Scales:What brings you to my world?Nxuk rhadwj 0ei ke m0 nehct?Should be...And what brings you to my world?Udt nxuk rhadwj 0ei ke m0 nehct?General Scales:You see, I must control this planet with fear.0ei joo, A mijk sedkhec kxaj fcudok nakx vouh.Should be...That... is why I must rule this planet with fear.Kxuk... aj nx0 A mijk hico kxaj fcudok nakx vouh.General Scales:Otherwise, the tribes always try to fight against me.Ekxohnajo, kxo kharoj ucnu0j kh0 ke vawxk uwuadjk mo.Should be...Otherwise, the fools always try to fight against me.Ekxohnajo, kxo veecj ucnu0j kh0 ke vawxk uwuadjk mo.

Mr. Krystal Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 You must play Adventures nonstop, Mr. K.No... I have all the cutscenes with Saurian in them recorded. I also have all the voice clips as audio files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kursed Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 well that explains a lot. maybe too much. how is that project for the voice translator coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Julius Quasar Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Nice touch, Mr. K. It's hard to translate that Saurian Language...I only know enough Saurian to ask where the bathroom is. (Just kidding, heck, there aren't any bathrooms on Sauria. Knowing how to ask where the bathroom is, in Saurian would be futile.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Krystal Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 well that explains a lot. maybe too much. how is that project for the voice translator coming?That's what this is for. I'm about half-way through converting all Saurian phrases into their phonetic sounds.Once that's done, I'll do some comparative analysis and decipher the patterns and variations in the spoken form.I'll take the patterns and create rules that will govern the pronunciation operation.I'm also going to rewrite the translator to handle this new functionality and other functionality.So, no real timetable on when it will be done.

Kursed Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 will we still have the original text only translator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrance Movado Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Oooo that's going to be really cool when it is done. How many programms does (or will)the spoken translater run off of. God I don't like how that was written. In other words how many programms will it take to create? Is this made with your original translater? Or is this a revised edition?

Mr. Krystal Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 It will keep all the functionality it has now. I'm just adding features.It will be one program made of many functions in Javascript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrance Movado Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I bet it's a complex deal right? O and one more thing is the spoken translater going to use alesia glidewell's voice? That woul be really cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That woul be really cool!You can't do audio work with Javascript. It will create a word-based phonetic spelling, such as this:EnglishI'm only here because of a distress call.SaurianA'm edc0 xoho rosuijo ev u tajkhojj succ.Phonetic Saurian'a'm' 'e'd'k'O' 'k'oo'd'z'O'h'O' 'r'O's'v'A'zjuh'O' 'E'v' 'oo' 't'ah'zjuh'k'ah'f' 'z'oo'k'Yes, I COULD do a program to do basic audio pronunciation, but it wouldn't be online.

Zicka Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 It's not even a real language when you think about it. More akin to a code. Just english with all the consonants and vowels switched around. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
