Opinion on translation issue

Post by Balthagor »

A users has made the following suggestion. Can anyone validate his suggestion?
- "save" in English you have written "SPAREN", is called in German correctly: SPEICHERN
- "load" in English, you have written "BELASTUNG", is called in German correctly: LADEN
Are his translations more better?

if both terms relate to saving and loading a game: yes, his translation is much better, and the most widely used term for this case.

here a very useful free translation site - wich gives also more context (in this case there is a nice [COMP.] tag)

I agree those translations are notably better. Also like evildari those original translations did make me laugh a bit.

If you want an example then here is a screenshot of the main menu in Tomb Raider Legend in German taken from a Tomb Raider wiki. It uses "speichern" and "laden".

Hi Everyone.

Another translation question. For the races/factions in the game, what word should as the translation? The Epitaph are a _________ that look like a giant fly.
