2.1.6 compatible!


Q: Why would you do this?
A: I study translation, so any excercise is welcome. Also, if anyone is trying to learn Dutch (you never know :p), this might be of use.

Q: But Ithvan, I speak Dutch yet my English is good enough to play the game in English!
A: Well, do you remember the feeling of 'What on earth is going on here?' you had when you first opened the game and started playing? That returns.



Reminder: I've translated this and played a couple of short games with it, but there are bound to be errors, mistakes, too long sentences and whatnot ingame. If you play with this mod and find any error at all, please let me know as detailed as possible. Thanks in advance. :)

Als je het nu in het Middelnederlands zou doen, voor de authentieke sfeer? :D

And what if you'd do it in Middle Dutch, for an authentic feeling? (smiling face)

"Dat is heel prachtig, Kruisridder-Konigen Twee en Nederlands te spelen! Dank uw wel vor deze Overzetting."

Did that come across understandably? :p Dutch language is so much fun...
 
You know what the problem is?
We awesome inpregneable Dutch (did I say we are the best?) are just too good in foreign lagueges (except for me, but I have dyslexia :p)
So we would feel ourselfes to be above translations...
 
Yeah, well, I'm not doing it for you people (arrogant though that may sound :D), but for me. It's an incredible excercise. And I agree, everything sounds lame in Dutch.

"Norse heathenry", for instance, evokes large guys with beards and axes hammering down on Europe.
"Noordse heidenen" doesn't. At all.

It makes no difference for me, both evokes the same image. May have to do with the fact that we have a rather large group of norse pagans in Iceland...
And yes, I speak Dutch, my mother is Dutch and I am pretty much spending half of my life in the Netherlands. Yay me...
It is also true that everything sounds more cheesy if it is in your native language.
