Generic introductory title, poorly translated into German

by Techercizer » Tue May 24, 2011 12:57 am

Hello there CritSandvich forums. A few of you already know me; I play TF2 quite a bit, and started frequenting the servers a few months ago. I main Medic, and have a microphone that always seems to be just too quiet.

Dating-profile style biography:

Likes
    Healing people
    Dominations-by-assist
    Patients who hold still for their shots
    Rational discussions
    Long walks on Gravel Pit
    Badly translating random expressions into German hodgepodge

Dislikes
    Squirming patients
    Self-defense
    People who confuse flaming with trolling
    Crockets

I also create custom skins, sounds, scripts, sprays, and misc stuff for TF2 and other Source games, though since nobody outside of SUF has ever made a request, I usually just make stuff for myself and upload them somewhere obscure.
edit: I also helped develop and release an indie game that got voted one of IndieDB's top 100 upcoming indie titles of 2010. w00t, credentials!

I plan to lurk quietly around the forums until I find topics that seem interesting, which I will rabidly pounce on, and to continue trying to heal everything that doesn't want to kill me.

Until you become injured: auf wiedersehen!

Willkommen! :D

But then how would I horribly combine German and English to get an unintelligible hodgepodge of the two?

Plus, isn't it incorrect to translate proper nouns? (like Soldier, Medic, Godmin, George...)

Auch: danke schoen.

Bottom line, Medic says "Soldier" in the game, as when declaring him a spy. To properly mimic his speech mannerisms, one must write "Soldier" as well. ;)

Herr Doctor, I can not even comprehend your German, much less critique it.

I didn't mean that it was bad; I meant that my knowledge of German was so abysmally limited (and nonexistent), that any hope of understanding your phrasing would boil down to random chance and almost pure guesswork.

I doubt your phrasing was too rough.

Ahh, XD

Well mein German isn't really that good, and I can bearly speak it.. except you know... the fun stuff like cussing! XD

I can read it okie, and writing it is taking chances of severe mispellings or bad grammar (cause I write/type it like English) I made a C in my class... might retake it! lol
