Mistakes in the English localization of Steam

ultio · 10-27-2010, 11:05 AM

Well, I guess we needed a thread like this one. The English version of Steam has its own mistakes, mostly typos, and I'll be using this thread to point out any mistakes I might find.

First one:

wolfe.Idle4 in Alien Swarm's closecaption file:

<clr:154,205,50>Wolfe: Remeber, you don't hurt em, if you don't hit em.

ok, let's collect these here. This one is fixed on STS for now.

Not in the strings for translation, but at the top of the statistics page it says:

Quote:

Check this box to drill down to a specific files progress for all languages - reset by choosing a langue above

The bolded doesn't look right.

Team Fortres 2 (tf_english)

Item_GiftWrapped

Quote:

%s1 has wrapped a gift:: %s2 %s3

Extra ":" not needed.

Counter Strike: Source (cstrike_english)

Cstrike_TitlesTXT_Hint_you_are_the_vip

Quote:

You are the VIP Make your way to the safety zones.

Missing dot between "VIP" and "Make..."

Cstrike_TitlesTXT_Taking_fire

Quote:

Taking fire...need assistance!

Missing blank space between "fire..." and "need..."

yes, confirmed, these double-colons ( :: ) are intentional.

Thanks - of course also typos of STS itself should be collected here. This one is fixed.

From the bottom of the translation window/box:

Quote:

GLOSSARY FEATURE (Following English words in above text were found already translatedelsewhere on the translation server.)

A space is missing.

The developer Piranha Bytes is misspelled in the store: "Piranha – Bytes".

PS: Give us Gothic Universe Edition Bundle (Wanna buy Gothic 1 without Gothic 4)

on the steam installer there is an American Flag next to English...

this should be an English / British flag

rielz · 11-01-2010, 04:12 AM

The name of the game Dark Messiah of Might and Magic™ is wrong in the store: Dark Messiah Might and Magic™

(Also: the "go to the forums"-link is outdated)
