Blockland Multiple Languages

[Gumba Jonny]

Yes but it's kind of incorrect. Also, "block land" translates roughly to "bloquear la tierra"

"to block the land"
wow did you come up with that yourself??

I know a little bit of German, but I'm still learning so it may be a bit off.

"Blockieren Erde" or "Blockieren Land"
It's a rough translation because I'm still trying to remember all the synonyms for different words.

Also, I hope you guys aren't using Google Translate to translate from English to other languages (other languages to English is just a bad, if not worse). Google Translate is terrible and at times it can be very inaccurate.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll fix it up once my mouse isn't being such a richard.

ブロックのランド would be a better name than ブロックランド

'land of blocks' sounds way better than 'stufftily done sound-out-the-words'

Kuutiomaa translates to Cubeland but it looks prettier than Suorakulmainensärmiömaa which isn't particularly grammatically correct but translates to Cuboidland which is more technically correct.

palikkamaa, perkele

[Demian]

question
did you have to look it up or did you come up with and type out "suorakulmainensärmiömaa" by yourself??

I'm Finnish.

Suorakulmainen särmiö = cuboid

palikkamaa, perkele

Silly me. I couldn't brain yesterday. Palikkamaa is what everyone would call Blockland if the name were to be translated since palikka = block. Kuutiomaa is just plain incorrect.

forget


EDIT: Changed. Would it be better if I started something on Google Drive or something where people can just edit? Then we can add extra translations for other in-game text

i disagree

there are a lot of games where the Japanese titles use English
(since you can read kana I'll just put it here)

Super Mario World [スーパーマリオワールド]
Super Smash Bros. [ニンテンドウオールスター!大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ]
WarioWare [メイド イン ワリオ]
Sonic the Hedgehog [ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ]
Kirby Super Star [星のカービィ スーパーデラックス]
Streets of Rage [ベア・ナックル]
Mega Man Legends [ロックマンDASH]
Street Fighter [ストリートファイター]
Clock Tower [クロックタワー]

And, in my opinion, ブロックのランド sounds worse since it has the extra syllable that isn't even necessary

[QuantumEagle]

Maybe I should add a poll to see which variation of Japanese Blockland people like more

[Cybertails1998]

Блоклэнд is more or less the correct translation, not sure why'd you put Блокланд

[QuantumEagle]

Changing it back toブロックランド with the advice of Char and my dad


Edit: Changed Japanese and added a poll.

What is that poll supposed to be about? Blockland doesn't support translations.

idk, in case someone decides to translate Blockland it's all there and will be a quick copy and paste operation or something

How do you plan on exporting all the strings in the game?

[QuantumEagle]

I'm not, like I said, just in case someone/Badspot wants to do it sometime.
