[lojban] Re: Pokemon translation
All right. A summary of things to work on:- Pokemon names: 150 brivla, if you know you're morphology. 56 cmene, which are back-burner. The cmene already written have a few errors, more than likely.
- Item names: I finished converting all the terms to selbri. About halfway done. I also cleaned up the comments. As part of that, I'm moving these comments of mine here:
- For the pokéballs, I kind of wanted to brag with Lojban a little. With the numerical+pokeball lujvo, all of the proper meaning and parallelism is conveyed very concisely, with a bit of a pun on "Master Ball" (it's both the last ball and the ball that catches all, so I found {rolpokyboi} particularly appropriate) Otherwise, I find it very difficult to actually translate things like "great" and "ultra" and "master" in a way that conveys obviously which is better than which.
- I'm having trouble with "badge" -- right now, I'm debating between si'asni and selji'a -- any ideas?
- Attack names: I've barely touched these, and there's a lot of them.
- I figured out how to get things like "metronome" to work with the {ko'a cu broda} wording.
- Have fun with "splash". My brother was joking to make it {malba'i jaurgunta}, {citmle jaurgunta}, or similar. I would like to emphasize the obvious here and say that the selbri description should be objectively describing the action of the attack -- describing it's effectiveness would be 4th-wall-breaking and/or subjecting your own opinion.
- Dialogue/Other: This is my focus. I've given up for now on posting dialogue to be translated, and instead plan on posting them as I translate them, maybe uploading the rom as I finish certain sections. I've properly edited the font and a few other programming tasks, and have moved on to almost finish the intro.
