Brazilian Portuguese translation
|
Hello.
As a brazilian player who loves PoE, I'd like to thank GGG before anything! Even though launching the game officially here in Brazil is definitely a business decision, it's always nice when good international game developers give us some love. :) I am posting this feedback to try to help you (mainly the translators) to better the quality of brazilian portuguese texts. It's a bold intention, I know, and I can't reinforce my suggestions with a proper resume. I consider my english as "ok" at best and my portuguese as a tiny bit better than average, but my best attribute for this task is that I am 28 years old and have been playing games since I was 8. Before starting with the actual feedback, I'd like to add that I understand translating is not as simple as some may think, and that there were probably technical difficulties in the process and deadlines to achieve. -------------------- To begin my feedback I revised the translation of the game info page (http://br.pathofexile.com/) entirely. Here's the document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Kx2nQhafeAx8dal1elasepIgWZBlqtObJlOUReya-l8/edit?usp=sharing I also noticed a few translations I don't agree with which are probably being used several times in the game, like in gems, so they must get special attention:
Spoiler
"dual wielding" -> "dupla empunhadura": Maybe "duplamente armado" would be better, as "empunhar" or "empunhadura" are so rare to see, even in games in portuguese. "Duplamente armado" in english would be "dually armed".
"skill" -> "perícia": Better to keep the usual translation and use "habilidade" instead. "augment" -> "aumentar": "Aumentar" may be confusing. "Aprimorar" explicits better the idea of general improvement. "AoE" -> "AdE": Maybe it would be better to keep "AoE", as it's a well known abbreviation, different than "AdE". Players may get confused and take a while before understanding what "AdE" means. "STR" -> "FOR": Same as above. Same for "DEX" -> "DES". "requires" -> "requires": From what I've seen, this one hasn't been translated in the texts of gems. It should be "requer". "Keystone" -> "Pedra Angular": Hard one. Correct if I'm wrong, but Keystones are different than Notable Nodes, right? Maybe it would be better if you used "Notable Node" -> "Nó Notável" (literal translation) and "Keystone" -> "Nó Único" (Unique Node). I hope you guys can use my help! Thanks for reading.
