And guys,  A game with "olde style Engrish," no matter how awful or sloppy, is much better than NO GAME. As they say, half a loaf is better than none.  Right? 

Not when it comes to games. A piece of rotten fish on your plate or nothing on your plate. Of course there is a buffet of delicious food 5 feet from you.

Then let that guy make his rotten fish in his own house instead of trying to serve it in the restaurant.

Yeah but we could smell it from here, we kinda didn't need to taste it.

can you still set google like this?  my google was set in this language for a really long time back in the day.

please help i need an al bhed translator for my newest game. please

can you still set google like this?  my google was set in this language for a really long time back in the day.

I don't know, but the first time I visited my gf I set her entire Firefox to be bork'd. It was funny for a few days.

uh if nobody mentioned the 'olde english' in Dragon Warrior, I always thought that was a nice touch. But yeah just putting some sort of filter over all the text even if a translator did exist, it would get kind of tedious. But just like touches of it through the text could look ok. Like Dragon Warrior I didn't really have anything a little kid couldn't figure out, thou instead of you and all that

or you could take it all the way and do like those photoshopped pictures where it's some meme like 'guys from Saturday Night Live dancing in car' but done like a medieval tapestry. And custom font so all the s's look like f's or whatever it was

also what's the deal with Phylomortis, did he have a 'normal' script and just go over it with a thesaurus

also I think you could get away with having just one character who speaks that way, even do it heavily as long as it's only when talking to this one person in the game. Did Frog from CT have hard to understand dialogue or was it just a couple of thee's and thou's sprinkled over some standard sort of text

but yeah this shouldn't be in a serious game, and if it is a comedy game I think your own attempts at 'old-sounding' English would be funnier than some internet translator. So if you do do it do it by hand anyway

I'm also reminded of that Romeo and Juliet movie where it was all modern times and the guy is like FETCH ME MY SWORD and the gun says Sword on it. Cinematic brillance there

UH, DB, somehow you missed that i was OFFERING to HELP YOU with the work. Please un-cancel (sic) the game and let me have at it. I think that many of the es words were "Eth" but a few words varied depending on who you were addressing. For example "thou art" to close friends and "you are" to servants. .
I'm offering my help, such as it is, for free. Trust a real, live English major to do a good job, OK? Don't give a man's job to a machine.

Sorry, but I don't work with strangers. The game would still take a lot of time to be finished, and when it's done who can guarantee me that you are still around?

And why is this thread still open? I said you can close it.

Why work with strangers when you can work with inaccurate machines that can't translate with the accuracy of humans as of this point in history?

You sir just do not care enough about your game to get the job done.  That kind of attitude implies your game was going to be awful anyway.

No.

Please... close... this.... I'm tired of reading this. :-(

Nu.

Pleese-a... cluse-a... thees.... I'm tured ooff reedeeng thees. :-(
