Re: [English] Help with translation

Gribble – I'll translate within your text, anwers marked with §.
Thanks all for your help so far - the tip about trying to split up words has helped a lot.

However, I have a new batch of words and phrases that I (or at least google) can't seem to make sense of - help appreciated to translate the meaning:

Words - I've added notes where I've been able to derive some meaning:
  • lagvrängare - § lawyer (literally "twister of law")
  • lydkaraktär - § character obeying someone else (probably a shadow power?)
  • färdebrev - §passport, but probably within a country (literally "letter of travel")
  • Somatrofi/ Somatrofiär - is this best translated as "Shagulite arts"? § one of the Shagulite arts – the ability to transform your own body (over time - not instant shape shifting)
  • Huligan, Mogul, Columna (ranks of Somatrofi) - § just titles on different levels within the Shagulites.
  • Bansikan - § a warriors code. Think "bushido" although this is more about attitude and abilities.
  • Lurpass – §"Lurpassa" is to hide and wait on someone with bad intent. Don't know the context.
  • okvädning - I think the quickstart translates this as "profanity", but that seems oddly specific to swearing - is it more about insults and verbal taunts? §This is to insult, which is an art in Trakorien
Phrases:
  • First, I'm trying to understand the Trakoriska / Trakoriens. I realise it's related to the name of the country/world, but I'm not sure which is the adjective (describing a thing) which I think would be Trakor*ian* in English, and which is the collective noun (describing a group of people with that nationality), which I think should be Trakor*ians* in English. § Trakoriska = "Trakorian" (adj), Trakoriens = "of Trakorien" (genitive), Trakorier = "Trakorians"
  • Google translates the italic part of the sentence "Legendariska hugg: Dina attacker med minst en ÖT kan skada drakar, demoner och liknande varelser, även om ditt vapen inte är förtrollat (sid 146)." as "even if your weapon is enchanted", which given the context doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Should this be "even if your weapon is not enchanted"? §Yes, as you suspect
  • Google translates the italic part of the sentence "Spådom: Om du utför en ritual som tar en scen i anspråk as "scene in the claims". I've seen this a few times, but I'm not sure what it means? Some kind of special scene? §"claims a scene"
  • "Kroppsdelar som huggits av lever vidare på egen hand" - google tranlsates this as pretty much gibberish. §this translates to "severed body parts live on on their own"
  • "Skada från hugg- och stickvapen halveras" - I'm not sure what the word (prefix?) "hugg-" means here (or in general) I think it refers to weapons of some kind? § chopping weapons.
  • "Läkekonst drar nytta av giftkokares brygder, kan bruka alkemisters pulver och använda lärospån från ytterligare andra områden." - again, google translates this a gibberish.
"Art of healing kan use the brews of poisoners, powders of alchemists and knowledge from other areas"

Thanks again!
Hopefully some help

Again, I wouldn't bother with setting specific or otherwise arcane lingo unless I was using the actual setting. Regarding the Okvädning thing - it's pretty much specific to one (well, the dominating) culture in the setting and might be a bad match for your own setting. I'd suggest doing what I did myself (and with the default setting nonetheless); house ruling it into a general Rhetoric ability instead. Because otherwise any character not from the island of Paratorna don't have a general speaking skill available.

Somatrofi would be Somatrophy in english I think. The same type of word as "Anthroposophy" or "Theosophy". Also very setting-specific.

Thanks all.

Some follow on questions:
1) Somatrofi - in Swedish, is this a "made up" word as a unique name for the art? Or does the term itself have meaning? I guess what I'm trying to figure out is whether it's better translated as "body modification", or "body evolution" or similar, or whether I should translate as "somatrophy" and preserve the name (assuming I'm using the setting, or at least the Shagulite order).
2) For the Shagulite order rank names, the first and last have English equivalents - Novice and Patriarch respectively. I was wondering if the others did as well - at least in intent if not literal meaning. For example google suggested "spine" for one of them and I was wondering, given the theme of the ability, whether they were all named after body parts.
3) Would it make sense to translate Bansikan (in general terms) as "Code of Honour" or "Warriors Code"? Or if it is an in setting term, rather than a Swedish word, and better left as is rather than translated?
4) From context, it seems the best English translation of okvädning is probably (a particular Trakorian type of) "Mockery" - does that seem right?
5) Does the context of "claims a scene" make it mean that the action itself must be played out in a scene? Is that the intent? I.e. play out a scene and then make the roll?

1. The root of the word somatrofi is probably latin or greek or something and not Swedish. I see no real point in including it in your setting though. There is at least no point in showing this ability to your players, as knowing the Shagulite powers is a spoiler (as it was in my campaign).

2. Basically same as above. No need to translate the titles.

3. Bansikan is also on these lines, even if I suspect it is a completely made up name. Don't see any point in importing this concept into another setting either.

4. Yeah, but only relevant if you have a similar culture in your setting.

5. Not sure what you mean. But a "scene" is basically used as a unit of in-game time, even if a scene could last for only a few seconds in game time, or a couple of weeks in the case of uneventful scenes. Most effects in the rules only last until the next scene, i e when some other interesting thing happens, or when you change the scenery and thus prompt a new "scene". It takes a while to get used to as the game is mostly focusing on dramatic effect and not any kind of simulation.

Thanks for your perspective, but as I said above: "assuming I'm using the setting, or at least the Shagulite order". I've noted your feedback that I don't need to include these things in my game, but let's assume I do want to include them anyway, and I'm still looking for help to translate/understand the terms.

Thanks for the tip about the origin of the word rather than it being an invented Swedish word. Turns out the translation of the Greek "Soma" is "body" and "trophy" is "growth"... so that allows me to come up with a decent translation.

In terms of the "claim a scene" bit, I understand the literal translation provided, but I'm not sure I'm clear on the intent of the whole phrase "to do [something] requires you to claim a scene and make a test" (which I've seen in a few places). Is the intent of the rules:
1) That doing [something] requires a scene (i.e. it isn't just a simple roll, and the scene has to be accommodated in the overall story); and/or
2) That doing [something] allows the player to take narrative control and initiate/describe a scene that does [something]?

I think the skill-system is meant to accomodate both 1 and 2 in the overall game. But the "claim"-thing would be version 2. ("I need a bomb, so I wan't a a scene where I'm making a bomb").

Thanks for that. Would a reasonable translation for "claims a scene" be "initiates a scene"?
E.g.: I plan to translate the sentence:
"Att söka efter en kontakt tar en scen i anspråk, och kräver ett dådslag för Vattnets blod."
as
"To search for a contact requires you to initiate an appropriate scene and make a test using Water."
Does that seem right?

Also, I've now reached the prophecy section... I'd like to translate the table of random prophecy verses, but perhaps understandably Google is badly mangling the translations of such abstract sentences. Would anyone like to volunteer to provide English translations of the Swedish verses? Pretty please?
:D

My knowledge of english and the system we are discussing is not good enough I'm afraid. But I still think that its a bit wrong that you have to "initiate" there. 

Att söka efter en kontakt tar en scen i anspråk, och kräver ett dådslag för Vattnets blod

my swenglish-translation:

To search for a contact takes a scene, and requires a test for Water.

You can initiate the scene, or just use another scene for contact-looking. I think. 
 
Regarding the verses: my english suck, and I have a shortage of time. However, as I remember, it's mostly gibberish: "The ear will listen when the moon sings!" and you put it together yourself. Even if you are using the setting exactly as written, I would say that exact translations of the verses is overshoot. Just use the google translate-gibberish and polish the ones you are going to use. 

The setting is even awesomer than the rules, so I think it's cool that it gets translated! I'll gladly help with the stuff I can :)

Ok, thanks. I guess that is what I was trying to clarify with my previous question - whether it just requires a scene, or whether the player takes narrative control and initiates a scene. If the closer translation is "requires" then I'm happy with that as well - thanks for the clarification.

In terms of the prophecies, that makes sense. I don't mind them being comprehensible gibberish, the problem is that google is giving me incomprehensible gibberish! E.g. rather than "The ear will listen when the moon sings!", I get something like "the body part <swedish word> speak the celestial"... and I'd like to have something closer to what you wrote. Maybe if I post side-by-side Swedish/English versions, people can look them over and let me know if the translation is comprehensible gibberish or not?

Yes, as I've been going through and translating the rules, the setting has really started to grow on me, and I'm definitely keen to translate that as well. Now that I've finished the first pass through the rules section of the book, I'm going to translate the introduction, organisations, gods/planes and monsters sections at least. Depending on how easy that is to manage I'll go back and maybe do the geography sections as well.
