Non-English websites

[CyberShadow]

Let's make a list of good non-English websites for as many languages as possible. The idea is to have the #Help bot detect the user's nation when they join, and also send them a short message in their language with a link to the website. In case they don't speak English, they can use that website to ask questions and generally feel at home.

Please only pick one website per language. The website should have an active forum, with W:A FAQs which would be useful to newbies being a good bonus.

Translate the following line to your language:
"Hello! There is a your-language-here website at http://website-address-here . You're welcome to visit it and ask questions there."

The translation doesn't have to be exact, feel free to tweak the message so it sounds good in your language. It should be accessible (not use complicated words young players might not understand), friendly, not impolite but not too formal either.

If your translation contains characters that are not in W:A's character table (http://worms2d.info/WA_character_table), please post a version with and without those characters (replacing them with the closest ones available). W:A supports all characters from most European languages. Please also mention in which countries from this list (http://worms2d.info/WormNET_flags) is the language spoken.

Example (Russian):
"Привет! Тут есть русский сайт про Worms: http://worms.org.ua/ . Если есть вопросы, или просто пообщатся, заходи!"; nations: Russia, Moldova, Ukraine.

I'm sure i've seen a chinese forum somewhere, specifically about WA, but i can't for the life of me find it again... In case it still exists, a friend tells me the translation would be

"Nihao! Zhe li shi yi ge zhong wen wang zhan: http://. Huan ying guan guang lin huo bing liu xia bao gui yi jian." (China, Hong Kong, Singapore)

but until i find that forum again that's not very useful i guess

OK, I added the submitted strings. If you have any corrections or additions post them.

By the way, I was thinking of putting together a second set for people with old versions, to tell them to update.. what do you think?

[CyberShadow]

I stumbled upon http://www.wormsmania.net/ accidentally... it looks like a decent Italian site. Could anyone confirm and maybe provide a suitable translation?

Maybe translation of all bot messages? I guess its not very long.


Ah and one suggestion: translated information with local worms website should be send as first. It may be missed if sent as last line, becouse somone who dont speak english will not expect his local language in end of 10-lines block of english text.

It looks like a pretty good website:

"Ciao. Per ulteriori informazioni su Worms Armageddon sentitevi liberi di visitare www.wormsmania.net. Una pagina dedicata interamente in italiano."

[CyberShadow]

Actually, there's quite a bit of text now (300 lines). And I think that the last line is more visible, because it's right above new lines that will appear.
All messages will be in color starting with the next beta - it's disabled for current versions because of a wrapping bug (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=662520&postcount=31) with colored text.

"Ciao. Per ulteriori informazioni su Worms Armageddon sentitevi liberi di visitare www.wormsmania.net. Una pagina dedicata interamente in italiano."Thanks, added.

It's the only italian site rather active with not only 9 years old contents, from faqs to files (I'm registered there too).

I think your translation yakuza sounds a bit formal and odd, "sentitevi liberi" (=feel free) is not so used in italian. I'd say "Ciao! Qui c'è un sito italiano su Worms: Armageddon http://www.wormsmania.net . Vieni a visitarci e chiedi pure aiuto nel forum."

Sure, your italian is surely better than mine.

Hey All!
Here is a Hungarian WA Forum.

"Szia! Itt egy Worms Armageddon fórum linkje, ahol magyarul segítünk, ha problémád van játékkal kapcsolatban: http://playforfunclan.extra.hu/p4fforum.htm ! Kérdezz bátran!"

Every character of this message is in the WA character table.

[CyberShadow]

Thanks, added.

[Ombodi77]

Yesterday, I tried the Help Bot, with Hungarian settings, so I get hungarian message, but not that what i wrote here...
So Plz CyberShadow change the Bot's Hungarian message :) It has more accurate link and better Hungarian language form :)

[CyberShadow]

Do you really expect users to write down/remember that huge URL? I think the link to the forum on the front page is enough.

[Ombodi77]

CTRL+C? :D
But i can tell a shorter form, http://P4F.Extra.Hu...
Shorter, easier to remember, and it contains only 1 link, to the main site of our clan :) It's the welcome page...

In case it still exists, a friend tells me the [Chinese] translation would be

Did you mean this?
