So, uhh. First of all, thank you!
Now, the questions.
Is aurel tree an untranslatable name? Is it based on the other word?
C
cr24Team
it is untranslatable, we made it up completely
F
forbruligita
Good, I see.
C
cr24Team
possibly it is a reference to the name Aurel/Aurelius but still is not really translatable, id leave it as-is or phonetically intact if possible(edited)
F
forbruligita
Understood, I'll leave it intact.

Raghh, I wanted to make the name to sound like we name things from myths of Ancient Greece, but I need to stick to the official vanilla translation-(edited)

C
cr24Team
out of curiousity, what would you be naming them if you could
i mean about your comment about naming like from myths(edited)
F
forbruligita
Oh. So, in my language, many things from the myths or legends have a little different "style" if this thing refers to a certain name.
I have no idea how to make it clear in English...
"Дерево Аурель", or Aurel Tree, is a normal one.
But after you said it can be a reference to a name, I thought it could be translated like
"Аурелево дерево", or, uh. Tree of Aurel. Or Aurel's Tree, something like that.(edited)
Uhh, about Mother Aurel then. Is it like... "mother the Aurel" or "mother-like Aurel"?
C
cr24Team
its supposed to be like "ancestor aurel", this tree is an ancient version of the regular aurel tree so mother of aurel maybe? if you have a better word that would work it should signify that it is a more important, older relative
idk if that helps at all, but flow/layer/floe all work

I guess it'll be the last one before I go to sleep (translating at 3 AM may be fun, but not healthy): how can I translate the swedroot? What is a swed in this root...
Well, yes. Amadrys, Bloodstone - I need to know everything about these ones.
Another question is - how do I translate "Moa chop"? Chop means an already cooked product, doesn't it?
Moonstruck race - should I translate it literally, e.g. "struck by the moon", or like a idiom, "insane"?
What is the "Gliding Decay Rate" characteristic? If "heartiness" determines Max HP, should I translate it like "Health" or actually use a meaning of character trait?
Does "crystal boat" refer to a certain material, or to any material with crystallic structure?
And the (maybe not) final question: may I replace the names of advancements if it's impossible to translate them and preserve the original play of words?(edited)
C
cr24Team
1.) Bloodstone is like blood testing stone or soul stone, checking the stats/soul of a creature
2.) Chop here is this definition per Google: a thick slice of meat, especially pork or lamb, adjacent to and often including a rib.
3.) Moonstruck is literal "struck by the moon"
4a.) Gliding Decay Rate is the rate at which a Moa loses height while flying (piloted by a player), and sort of correlates to gliding distance
4b.) Heartiness is health, so translating to health would be appropriate
5.) Crystal Boat is not supposed to be in there, I'll be removing that translation key so don't bother translating it. There's going to be a crystalline wood type in the future but it doesn't exist yet
6.) Feel free to create new names for advancements that make more sense, or if you have puns/play on words from your language that work better feel free to do whatever. Advancements can be whatever you want as long as the descriptions are still accurate to how they are earned

The truly final questions:
How do I even approach to translating "Halflight Cheesecake"? Is it about it being half-nutricious or... I don't know.
What is a pre-grown moa egg?
C
cr24Team
Halflight as in half-good, half-holy if that makes sense... it'd be like halflight's cheesecake as in halflights are a people, so not sure how best to translate
Amazing, thank you again! I'll be including it in the next update... release date tbd pending some final additions
F
forbruligita
To be honest, I was pleased to translate this mod, because I really like it.
Take your time, I'm glad it's going to be included at all!

oh man i shouldve looked around this server before translating stuff. (though thankfully i only had to redo around 3 translations after seeing this thread because i did not realise swed was just sweet written differently)
so, my questions:
are golden amber bars like iron bars (the things in prison) or like a pile of golden bars (shaped like ingots)?
and is there anything else about the halflight cheesecake that you could say, cr24? even with your explanation i'm still not sure how to translate it
huh, i thought cherine was a combination of cherry and tangerine, because of the orange color normally and pink color when burning
and since portuguese (the language i'm translating to) has similar words (cereja and tangerina) i just smashed those together and called it cerina
for the cheesecake I don't really know what else I can give;
Halflight is based on the idea of half-angels/incomplete angels and it's just a food item that they made or that is like a traditional dish for the culture. Not really sure what other context I can provide, sorry!(edited)
alright i think this is really dumb but i translated the half-light cheesecake as "torta de queijo semi-deoce", looks really dumb but could be read as "torta de queijo semi-doce" (which is one way it's called in portuguese, except for the 'semi-') but if spoken quickly it could sound like "torta de queijo semi-deus", which would literally translate to english as semi-god cheesecake
it's the best i could do, but if anyone who speaks portuguese sees this, i'd be happy to change it into a better name
C
cr24Team
that works for me, thank you so much for providing translations! I'll include this in the next update as well

forbruligita
So, uh... What does "burnished" stone mean? Is it a kind of fire stone or... polished stone? Dictionary is tricky once again.
basically just a 'cuter" word for a ball of energy represnting the being of someone
H

alright that helps a lot, i tried looking up quint and it was all related to 5 (as in quintuple), and i got confused because the texture in github clearly has 4 faces
but yeah it just represents the fifth element the 'soul'
H
helowordd (check bio, please)
well apparently people used to think quintessence (5th element) would come with the other 4, so having 4 faces, all the same color, could kind of mean the 4 single elements are together and, together, turned into the 5th
also in portuguese the translation of quintessence is just quintessência (literally the same thing but the portuguese word for essence) so i think Quint is the best name it could have
C
cr24Team
nice yeah that works out
H
helowordd (check bio, please)
ok now that i thought a bit more i'll make it Quinte, since a word ending with a t isn't really a thing in portuguese, plus it keeps all the meanings intact and the pronounciation would be the exact same, as we kind of add an 'e' sound at the end in foreign words that end with a t
H
helowordd (check bio, please)
alright, brazilian portuguese translations are complete (other than adding the new stuff, i changed some stuff like Strawberry Wistar because i previously didn't get that Wistar comes from Wisteria)
C
cr24Team
you are the first one!!! Thank you so much again

yaaay! you're welcome and thanks too, this also helps me learn a bunch of words i didn't know (in both english and portuguese)

i did a lazy translation to wisteria a year ago,not realizing it has a meaning in my language(edited)
Heyyy, I'm back here.
Does Menth name derive from the Mentha genus? If not, can you tell me what it's inspired by?
I... uh, I don't really want to transliterate this word. In our language the closest sounding one is "мент", and it's a mocking word that Russians call the policemen, lol.
