The Curious Expedition Greek Translation - Part 44 (~1132 words)

Current Session

Sunday today and when other people were out having fun, poor little @trumpman stayed all day in, finishing yet another translation for the Curious Expedition... Nah, just kidding, I had most of it translated for a few days now so it took me less than an hour (today) to put the finishing touches.

Much like with my previous contributions, this was again an easy session, with nothing extraordinary to report. Most strings were super easy and I had a nice flow with very few pauses when translating. Here are some examples to show you what I mean:

After dinner I [performed some experiments with|cleaned] my compass and noticed that the needle behaved unusually. Perchance a natural magnetic site was [attracting it|interfering with it]?

The distance drowned out $his screams and we were finally able to [sleep deeply|get a few hours peace|catch up on the sleep we had lost].

Allow

Healing Springs

Giant skeletons

The standard difficulty mode. Pretty tough but manageable.

As you can see, there is nothing particularly difficult about the project :)

Like with most of my previous translations, I inserted a few original strings of my own here and there (always making sure they fit with the context provided) as the devs give us the liberty to do so!

And like always, here's a small taste of the music I enjoyed while preparing this contribution:

That's all folks!

Project Details

The Curious Expedition is a rogue-like expedition simulation set in the 19th century. It's the first game by indie developer Maschinen-Mensch. The game is available on Steam, GOG, Humble Store and at the official homepage http://curious-expedition.com. The game has been regularly updated through out the last 2 years. A list of all the updates can be found here. For information on modding the game, go here . [source and more info]

Gameplay

And here's what I believe to be the official trailer:

Why Did I Choose This Project?

Well, to be honest, I chose this project because all the other options were applications with boring names like Freecad and Jabref. I thought it would be fun (edit: less boring) to translate a game instead. And thank god... I was right!

I am sure my team members are very jealous that I get to translate strings like "Let's eat", "Giant tortoise", "I feel happy and sad", and "Oh my god" while they get to translate stuff like "resolving duplicate keys", "Port Design", "Constraining modifier key" and "Corrugated elements"... LOL!

Too bad for them, now they have to live with the choices they have made....MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Contribution Specifications

• Translation Overview: This is a really large project, approximately 80.000 words and obviously it's gonna take me a while to finish. In each part I plan to translate anywhere from 700 to 1200 words. For the most part, the translation is very easy as there are few, if any, technical terms.
• Languages: The project is being translated from English to Greek.
• Word Count: According to Crowdin, for Part 44# I translated 1132 words, for a total of 44754 translated words. Since most of the strings translated were part of the in-game dialogues there were only a handful (1, maybe 2%) that were left in the original language, e.g. screenshot.
