The Great Tree

Regarding "about... in a way", I'll PM Brian and ask him to answer what he meant.

Regarding "a strong term": To humor someone is to pretend to understand or accept what that person is saying, but not really agree. Duskrin is saying that "humor him" is an impolite choice of words; the intensity of the words' meaning is too strong.

I like the ideas for the additional sound effects. Smile

Sorry, Bri and I are on a trip again. Smile

Brian meant "about" as in "around." He meant that Phil was in the cavern, sort of. (Referring to his strange behavior and disappearing.)

Two translations done, two to go. Smile

Someone had questions about two lines in the script. I'll repeat my answers here:

Help !

Sorry, I have a question about a line in the script :

I must say that I didn't understand that line either, but I've just translated it as it is... Though it would be nice to know what was actually meant with the "delays about silence".

Durin Mephit · Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2007 1:37 pm Post subject:

My guess is that Brian accidentally reversed his words and meant "silence about delays."

silence: the DRC withheld information from explorers
delays: schedules slipped
silence about delays: the DRC did not inform explorers when the schedules slipped

If you can, translate with the error still in place.

Just so that this is public knowledge:

I spoke with Cycreim about whether we should correct the reversed phrase. We decided to leave the words as they originally appeared, even though the words are confusing. When the event actually happened, that is what Brian actually said.

If we change the words, we could be accused of revising history, of covering up mistakes, of hiding the truth...

... all the things we accused the DRC of doing.

Tiella had many questions about the episode... I've asked permission to post her questions and my answers here. That might influence a few more changes in the translations. Smile
