French to English Articles

Post by Master »

I've been noticing that many articles on our end of the wiki are a lot less detailed in comparison to the French versions. Is there anyone who's capable of bringing over some of the French content to the English in their free time? I've made attempts in the past, but there's only so much Google Translate can help with.

You should ask gamerz about this! As we already knew, his linguistic knowledges are really great, but that's not all : his Asian friends Bradandez and Fifo also master the English and French languages, they could translate the whole French wiki to English in a week. The only inconvenience is you might need to pay for their services.

That's mostly thanks to boomboleros7! While the English wiki has more articles, he has spent a great amount of time expanding the ones on the French wiki and it is now very detailed.

For a start, I suggest coming up with a list of articles that should be expanded and translated. Then people would know what to work on. :)

Thanks! :)

I could expend the English articles, but there's still a lot of work to do on the French wiki, and I prefer take care of that first before focusing my efforts on the English wiki.

Well, the best people for that job should be natives that have an advanced level of English or the opposite. Are there any more French members who could be interested in the task?

At least the translated articles on Raywiki are usually more reliable than the officla ones (i'm looking at you "looms" and "Knowledge of the world")

It's a two-way street though, since the French article has nothing on Adventures yet!

Hmmm, I didn't even get around to playing it. I'm sure I will at some point.

Well it's always the same thing at the end. It's funny at first, but it quickly gets very boring.
