Spanish translation?

[stea]

Thanks Luis for your replies. We´ll see how it goes in Black Plague! Still, I found Overture´s Spanish quite ok from a "spanish-speaking person" pov. What do you mean by special?

You're welcome! As for special... well, I just thought some parts felt pretty inaccurate, i.e. not fully delivering the original message at all, but I guess no translation will ever be able to do that. Also, there is some really wrong stuff, like having some parts in sentences still in English (I found at least one), probably caused by having rushed to get it done.

Anyway, it still serves, and those who play the spanish version will know what's going on in the game too

Ok, I know what you mean now. But I think these mistakes might arise in the testing phase, since as far as I know, translators don´t have the game to see everything in context. I agree with you in that no translation will ever be perfect, although it´s possible to achieve a higer level of accuracy if everuthing is carefully planned.

As for the reason for things kept in English, I guess translators don´t forget to translate lines into their language, instead, it could be organization issues when sending stuff to localize.
