Translations: German > English

[Catapult]

This is going to be no where near as impressive as Reinhart's thread, but every now and then the German rep will poke Yoshi-P in the same way Bayohne will and gets an answer otherwise not found. I'll be trying to translate the bits that are not (as far as I am aware) common knowledge.

Translations may not be perfect, because the German reps communicate with the devs in English rather than Japanese - back to English and the game of Chinese Whispers may be relevant. That, and my German comes from attending a German school for 3 years where I had to develop practical communication skills, rather than an academic source that examines etymology and such.

PLEASE READ!!!
From time to time, some of you may get the urge to want to contribute to the threads quoted here from the German forums. I'd like to articulate that, unless you can write it in German, this may be seen as inappropriate. It being the German forums, there is an expectation that people speak in German. Translation tools such as Google-translate can assist if you want to make a contribution, but don't simply post in English while on the German forums.
(Simply "liking" one of Sasu's posts is of course encouraged regardless.)

If you want to contribute to a discussion on anything quoted here, I suggest also creating a new thread for it in the appropriate forum section. Experience suggests that our own reps are very diligent in watching the posts that come through these forums, so they will find your feedback just as easily and you'll probably even get some support from other people on the English side who post in reply to you as well.

Wir haben das mit Yoshida besprochen und die Entscheidung wurde dahingehend getroffen, dass der Fokus auf die Verbesserung des Spiels gerichtet sein sollte. Dementsprechend werden wir dieses Jahr nicht mit FF14 auf der GamesCom vertreten sein. Stattdessen wird mit Hochdruck am Spiel gearbeitet. Zukünftig werden wir mit FF14 aber auch Conventions etc. anpeilen.

We spoke with Yoshida (about not attending Gamesconn in Köln) and the reasoning was taken that the improvement of the game should be prioritised. Therefore we won't be bringing FFXIV to GamesCon this year. Instead, high-gear work on the game will be done. But in the future we'll be loading on to conventions etc.

Das Dev-Team bedankt sich für euer Feedback. Sie möchten, dass ihr wisst, dass sie momentan an der Implementierung eines Tutorials für die Gruppensuche arbeiten.

The dev-team thanks you for your feedback. They would like you to know that they are currently implementing a tutorial for the Party-search feature.

Die Entwickler sind momentan dabei die Linkshell-Liste zu überarbeiten und ein Feature zu testen, das anzeigt, wo sich die Mitglieder eurer Linkshell gerade aufhalten. Habt bitte noch etwas Geduld bis es implementiert wird und euch zur Verfügung steht.

The developers are currently overhauling the Linkshell-list and testing a feature that shows where the members of your linkshell are currently located. Please have patience till it is implemented and at your service.

Bisher noch nicht. Ich halte euch auf dem Laufenden und poste sofort, wenn ich etwas erfahre. Die Entwickler arbeiten sehr hart an dem Spiel und sie wissen, wie wichtig euch die Kick-Funktion ist. Und das liegt nicht nur daran, dass ich sie regelmäßig damit poke.

Dass ihr diese Funktion noch nicht habt liegt ganz bestimmt nicht daran, dass es sie nicht interessiert, sondern dass sie das Thema aus verschiedenen Gründen noch nicht angehen können.

Ich weiß, dass es nervig ist, so lange zu warten aber sowohl wir ComReps als auch die Entwickler tun alles, was sie können, um euch möglichst bald das Spielerlebnis zu bieten, das ihr (zurecht) erwartet.

Zum Thema Teamaufteilung...

Not yet. I'll stay on the ball and post as soon as I learn anything new. The developers are working really hard on the game and know how important the kick-function (context: expel Linkshell members) is to you. And it's not just because I'm regularly poking them.

The fact you don't have this function yet is most certainly not because it doesn't interest them, but because they can't yet get to the topic for various reasons.

I know it's annoying to have to wait for so long, but we community reps, like the devs, are doing everything that we can to as soon as possible offer you the Game Experience that you (rightfully) expect.

On the topic of the dev-team setup... (the rest is on what teams exist within the dev team, quoting the recent interview the reps had with Yoshi-P)

It's always nice to see what the reps post in other forums than the english one. So +1 and keep it up ^^

[Darkscorpion]

good info keep it coming ^^

I no longer have the link or original script for this one, but I recall a localisation bug that was responded to that wasn't a localisation bug.

It concerned the fact that the Armorer's/Blackmith's guildmark vendors are not standing beneath the correct signs, such that the ARM sign was for BSM skill sales. The rep was astonished no one had picked up on this yet and filed a report, however stating that she had no idea when and/or if it would be able to be addressed.

2 more notable posts today. While these things were suspected, we haven't had proper confirmation till now as far as I am aware.

Es wird ein NPC implementiert werden, der euch mit euren Rezepten helfen wird. Viel kann ich euch dazu noch nicht sagen, aber ihr werdet, nachdem ihr euch mit dem NPC zu einem netten Plausch getroffen habt, über ein Menü die Rezepte einsehen können, die ihr bisher bereits benutzt oder erhalten habt.

An NPC will be implemented, who will help you with recipes. I can't tell you much yet, but once you've met and chatted up this NPC you will be able to navigate a menu where you can see the recipes you have already used or received so far.

Dein Wunsch ist uns Befehl ! Du wirst dich bestimmt freuen zu hören, dass die Slot-Kosten abgeschafft werden.

Your wish is my command! You will no doubt be delighted to hear that the (accessory) slot-costs will be done away with.

There was one more post about materia conversion, but nothing Bay hasn't already covered.

Nice, I really appreciate these types of posts as I'm curious what other players from the different regions are discussing! Thanks Catapult!

Also, not sure if this interests anyone, but SE are currently looking for a new Japanese-German translator.

In the unlikely event that you actually meet the requirements for the job (cause let's face it, you'd be hanging more in the DE or JP forums), you can check out the add: http://goo.gl/cRR2R

A follow-up from the same topic as the first one quoted in my last translation post. This is concerning the NPC that will exist for recipe purposes.

Habt ihr Lust auf mehr Infos ? Nein ? Oh schade....naja dann geh ich eben wieder...

....
........
.............
Was ? Oh ok, ihr wollt also doch mehr wissen... Entscheidet euch doch mal ! Okok...also passt auf: Die Entwickler haben nochmal etwas mehr Klarheit in den Rezept-NPC gebracht und mir erzählt, dass sie planen, zunächst einen NPC zu implementieren, mit dem ihr euch bei einem netten Plausch über Rezepte unterhalten könnt. Ihr werdet auf Dauer aber auch Rezepte über das Menü einsehen können.

Are you up for some more info? No? What a pity... oh well then I'll head back off again...
....
........
............
What? Oh ok, so you actually do want to know more... Make up your minds! Ok ok... pay attention: The Devs have once again brought some more clarity to the recipe-NPC and tell me that they are planning to next implement an NPC with whom you can have a nice chat about recipes. But over time, you'll also be able to see recipes through the menu.

Context: There were only 3 posts between Sasunaich's two posts here in the span of 3 days.

This is about the accessory slots. Not that you guys thinks something else ^^
