Proficiency test:
How would you translate:
Shinobi Sakura attacks her opponent with her poisoned kunai.
Naruto in his Kyuubi-form threw windmill-shuriken at Kakashi.
Orochimaru releases his snakes to gain time for his forbidden revival jutsu.
-
shinobi sakura attacks her opponent with her poisoned kunai=
shinobi sakura ingruo sua preliator per sua venenum kunai
note: japanese words cant be made latin, do you want me to make them english, then make them latin?
-
naruto in his kyuubi form threw windmill shuriken at kakashi=
naruto usuro kyuubi formo infligo orbis shuriken procul kakashi
*will do the third one later g2g*

wow, too bad the school year is over.
i can't believe you actually LIKE latin (is it so?).
i think dead languages should stay dead, or should be killed again! :evil:

Dead languages should be dead, that's why they are dead =| , they are hard, bad and no one use them anymore (ok, maibe not bad =p ).

but hte site would be fun trying to read it in latin, think, it could help ThSannin ace test by veiwing the site that way and trying to figure out what it means, it could help other people get better at latin too, i might keep it that way for myself since im going to start taking latin soon :D

If it's a dead language, then won't there be like no one who understands it(or maybe they do, but they understand another one better)?
I just don't see the point in translating into latin..Or am I missing something?

*notices your motto thingy "so be it"*
yeah your missing it, its called fun, its fun to challenge your self with something hard like translating and reading an entire website in latin ;)

I see no fun in it...

What is the purpose of translating the game into a different language? I'm pretty sure it's for people to have an easier time to understand the game in their own native/fluent language. In case they only have basic knowledge in english..Or even none..
This will also provide the game with new players, thus more donations (logically) and an expansion of the game.
At least I think that's what Neji thinks.
If practically no one speaks latin or, like I said in my other post, speaks another language fluently (which they probably do, because latin is *dead*) it makes it a waste of time.

but it is not a waste of your time, it is a waste of mine, though i do not see it as a waste, so what if nearly no one uses it, i would, anyways, the descision is your neji, just make me a mod and i will get right on it.
yes, latin is a dead langauge, but i want to use it for the game, and maybe a few other people would too...

A translator is not a moderator...And yes, it's Neji's decision..I just wanted to give out my opinion on this.
-
This is going to use precious space in the server, and i don't think people will play this in latin. even if it's for "fun".
-
I agree with KingCycrus because no one is going to learn Latin just because it's on SL.....not for the fun of it..unless they already wanted to...so far I don't see many good points about translating in Latin
-
i can name at least three people that would for shure, and maybe more as a possibility, i would really like to do as i want to veiw the site in latin, but once again, neji's descision
-
Well for one.. your translations are used in English background, not Latin. You cannot use an English format when speaking Latin. Like several other languages, one word in Latin could mean two or three in English.
Here's a title of a song I know:
Aperite mihi portas justitiae.
Tell me what that means please.
Lyric:
Gressus in eas confitebor Domino.
Or that. I know *exactly* what it means, so I'll be able to tell if you're a fake.
-
Well Latin was a top subject for me as well and I really like latin (I read all the ancient authors in latin just for fun...), but it´s not a spoken language any more and if you try to tell me that it can be used to communicate with it your are completly wrong. The latin we use today is the latin cicero "created" and it is really artificial but as a written not spoken language!
->I would say that we don´t need it.
But I´m amazed about your latin and as lebis I think that there might be something wrong *tools* but if you really translated it by yourself I´m truly amazed...
-
i will admit that my latin may be slightly off (possibly the whole "artificial" thing) i have tried studying latin, but havent taken any classes or anything so, possibly my latin may be a little off, but if the people who i think are going to read it, then it wont matter if there is a small mistake, and this kinda proves im a littlee rough, but i cant make out all of lebis's latin words, hers what a can make out:
mihi= "me" or "land", possibly, give me land or close to that
in= in, into, etc.
okay that looks bad, but those words are confusing, they dont make a whole lot of sense to me...
maybe i should try researching them, instead of just thinking about what i can remember 8)
-
Aperite mihi portas justitiae = give me land or close to that???
Are you sure...
(I´m not sure about aperite but it sounds more like)
"Bring" me to the doors of justice but as I said I´m not so sure as well
-

i agree with everything you just said, but it still doesnt make perfect sense
mithras, would you use the site in latin if you could?
...and neji, when you see this message i would like to know if i can trnaslate or not, i waited quite a few days last time i applied for something, i dont want that to happen again since you dont log in that much, i need a yes or no, and soon please?

Why in Latin?
I agree only few know the language...I speak a few words of it myself yet the others that play the game don't.
I sure wouldn't use it...do you know any countries that DO use it? Oddly none do...do they?
You were revoked from the team for a reason and your Latin does seem off...
I suggest studying the real language to get more in-depth with it and not using Online translation tools.
-
Aperite mihi portas justitiae is "Lord, Now Open Wide the Gates of Justice"
Here's the lyric: Gressus in eas confitebor Domino is "I may now enter and give praise to God the Lord"
It's a religious song. Cathedral music.
i will admit that my latin may be slightly off
I don't think somebody who is even the slightest bit off in a language should be entrusted to translate an entire game. Nor.. somebody who couldn't get a simple 8 English word title in Latin correctly.
-
i need a yes or no, and soon please?
No.
-
very well, if you cant find anyone who can do native symbols for japanese let me know, you might just have to do it in normal words, unless you do it yourself (which would take forever)
