Web Spanish Translations improvements

[DrHam]

Decided to check the Spanish translations. Some improvements could be made

• Spanglish/: There are rules titles translated totally, other are just in English (eg “Evadir Sanciones”, “Multiaccounting”, “chat del party”). That looks really bad and unprofessional.
• Lack of consistency, kinda like above:
  • the punishment track the word “Prohibición” is used, while on the Drag Clicking rule it says “puede ocasionar un ban de sentinel”)
  • In-game rules refer punishments to “sanción”, gameplay rules refer to “prohibición”
• Poor, too literal, translations: Some translations are unneeded and are bad (eg no one, even on Spanish speaking servers, says “Prohibición”, we just use “Ban”)
  • “No hacer solicitudes en publicaciones.“ what is this even supposed to mean? (“Do not make petitions on threads”)
  • “El equipo del personal”. Use staff or “equipo”, everyone gets it and “equipo del personal” is redundant
  • “Punishment track” =/= “duración del castigo” (Punishment length). A more accurate translation would be “Sanción” or similar

That’s all

Si os ofende, os aguantáis :) es una crítica constructiva de cómo creo que se podrían mejorar

Feel free to apply for translator yourself HERE!

About the suggestion, Spanish can be perceived in many ways and you can’t translate exactly from English to Spanish. The translation team works very diligently 24/7 to ensure everyone can be a part of the server. It is understandable even if it is a little off!

Totalmente de acuerdo! De hecho hace tiempo que lo comenté con alguien, no se muy bien con quién, pero hay traducciones tanto en juego como foros hay bastantes fallos. Una cosa en la que me he fijado también esque en algunas ocasiones usan "su blabla" y alguna otra vez usan "tu blabla" deberían usar una sola forma por cuestión de marketing.

If I recall from when I was part of the proofreading team back in March, for the Spanish side of the Translations Team, we had made a better version than the current one, it was just never updated/changed.

Hey!

We have a special project with the shiny name ''Quality Assessment'' which sounds way harder than it is. Basically, we review the qualities of translations via that system.
Though, at this moment all translations projects have currently been put on hold due to some internal changes we're doing and haven't finished doing yet.Once we're finishing making the changes, we'll restart all our translations projects including the QA one.
I'll be forwarding your message to our Spanish proofreaders and will bump the QA project internally.

Nah

se muy bien con quién, pero hay traducciones tanto en juego

Por lo que tengo entendido, las del juego son anteriores a que se creara el equipo de traductores y se están haciendo de nuevo, por eso no comento de ahí

Spanish can be perceived in many ways and you can’t translate exactly from English to Spanish.

That's the difference between a good and a bad translation. I know some words/expressions are difficult to translate (eg Punishment track), but some stuff is ridiculous (eg "Personal del equipo ", instead of just staff or "equipo). There's also a lack of consistency:

usan "su blabla" y alguna otra vez usan "tu blabla" deberían

Hey, to add onto the replies above, the rules were also updated once again before the improved versions of the team managed to get added. This made our improvements to need to be improved again before any implementations.


Patience is key to success. Thanks for the feedback though! :)
