#1 murkaf Oct 04, 2004 13:58:17	I would like to ask the members of Athas.org: If a french translation is done for the official Athas.org documents, would it be possible to post it on the site? If yes: WOUHOU! If no: Would it be possible to post it on some other site? (it is clearly stated that : This means that fan-created add-ons (such as new net books, adventures, etc.) are jointly owned by both Wizards of the Coast and the creator; neither can do anything outside the official website without the permission of the other.

We have the GO for translating. The DS3.5 French document will have to be posted elsewhere, but the people at Athas.org are willing to post a mirror on Athas.org, linked off the same page as the english version. I will soon be posting an Excel document with all the Athasian specific terms. (We will be using the official translation document for DnD 3.5 terminology as well as the translated SRD which you can find at www.asmodee.com) As for the official translation of Dark Sun 2nd edition, we have been given free rein to keep it or overwrite it... Ce qui nous amène à un choix semblable à celui des cartes... A) On garde la traduction officielle là où elle existe. (Keep the terms of the official translation as they are) B) On modifie la traduction là où elle est "ridicule". (Change the tems of the official translation where needed) C) On fait comme B), mais on rajoute la traduction officielle entre parenthèses. (As B), but adding the official translation in parenthesis)

#4 Grummore Oct 14, 2004 18:20:54	hum... I'd go for B), but I dont know, C) would be correct since many french products were created... Still pondering.

#6 murkaf Oct 15, 2004 7:33:07	Le tout étant de savoir ce qui définit une traduction ridicule d'une autre... La colère, le désarroi et le sentiment d'impuissance face à un terme qui donne presque envie de se recroqueviller sur soi-même sont d'excellents moyens de détecter une traduction "ridicule". Je n'ai peut-être pas choisi les bons mots...
#7 Nefal Oct 16, 2004 12:18:31	Que de lyrisme! ;) Il faudra donc nous entendre là-dessus aussi! Merci de prendre en charge ce projet! A+
#8 murkaf Nov 10, 2004 9:48:02	Sorry for the delay. Family and work problems. Everything should be under control. Will have begun by next week. Going to use Community approved translation [(official translation)] format unless someone points out a GOOD reason not to...
#9 Grummore Nov 10, 2004 18:46:22	Murkaf, what's up with the MTL? Is it finished?
#10 zombiegleemax Nov 30, 2004 10:27:20	The DS3.5 French document will have to be posted elsewhere, but the people at Athas.org are willing to post a mirror on Athas.org, linked off the same page as the english version. You could post it on our site! We would be glad to help. www.darksun.com.br :D
