Skyrim... in French! : V

» Wed Jul 13, 2011 2:18 am

So some how I accidently changed the friggen website to french... and I am unsure how to change it back.

Fortunately, I was able to witness the awesomeness on the main page...

Ladies and gentleman... Skyrim, in French.

...this begs the question, does the 60,000 lines of dialogue include other languages?

Are you asking if they are including other languages to pump up the number? No

There will be 60,000 lines in whatever language it is translated to.

that sound promising, on another note, have you heard anything from the other proviences?

I'm like 95% positive this wouldn't be in the game, but wouldn't it be cool to change the language? for those of us who are multi-lingual haha

I'm assuming you said copulating homosixual there and I have to agree wholeheartedly. The French Esbern sounds ridiculous. There's none of that gravel in his voice, it's more of a fine sand, as gravel would disrupt the delicate texture and aroma of his Bordeaux. The German trailer doesn't sound quite right either, but at least their translation of Dovahkiin sounds badass: Drachenblut. Sounds cool and rolls off the tongue better than "dragon-blooded" would in English. They both need more gravitas.

Max von Sydow was a good choice for Esbern. The man could read a Denny's menu and make it sound like the most important thing anyone has ever said.

Ahhh, A french trailer. Love the language. But I love the game more.

I wouldn't dream of it. For one thing, you have much better beer. If I ever go to Quebec I will probably need an entire day set aside to visit the Unibroue brewery. I don't care if they don't do tours, I'll just wander around the property taking pictures until security tells me to leave.

No, but the king of Skyrim will, and then all of its badass citizens will sneak around firebombing Alduin's bases and assassinating his dragons and deftly hiding away pieces of the world to rescue it from him.

Learn some history, please.

I don't speak french but that sounded awesome

Oh wow, that was terrible. It sounded like some chain smoking French hipster got slightly angry because someone knocked over his coffee.

French people don't experience anger, it's beneath them. He's terribly annoyed by all of this world ending stuff.

Cool, can you get the one in Spanish while your at it

I can't even find any information on whether Skyrim will have a full Spanish localization. I don't think Oblivion did. At any rate I can't find a trailer.

So a French-translated Skyrim would be a stand-alone game, yes? If so, I'll buy both my English version and a separate version. All hail the French........... Ha. ha. ha.

Steam have Multi language support, if you will buy Skyrim on it you can switch will all language

I am French and oblivion shivering isle translation was very good. They have keep all fun of dialogue and change some conversation for plays on words (for don't have just word to word translation). i hope Skyrim will be same quality

Max Von Sydow dubbing the french version of his films, I hope he will also do the voice over for the french version of skyrim.

» Wed Jul 13, 2011 4:01 am

The only thing i am skeptic about is the voices XD *remind oblivion

Well if you want to go back to the English homepage, delete your cookies and go back to the homepage but on the trailer I was lmao, I have to admit the french sound super funny. ( now I have to watch it in German I just laugh while someone is yelling at me)

As a french person, how did you find the trailer linked in the opening post?

as a non-french speaker, I thought the voice sounded good, but the actual language used didn't sound convincing, to me as an English speaking listener.. Neither did the German version (although I do take German at school)

On a similar vein to what others have said, it did sound a fair bit like a French man telling his wife how much he loved her.

» Tue Jul 12, 2011 4:30 pm

This.. this is horrilbe! They translated it in a really bad way.. Dragonborn is there 'fils de dragon(s?)' which means 'child of dragon(s?)'. I could only understand half of it, but what I understood sounded really lame. But that's probably because I find french to be a lame language on itself anyway.

» Tue Jul 12, 2011 6:56 pm

Well dragonborn litterally mean ''Drakeide'' which i dont think it mean anything cause a drakeide is a dragon man '' scale and stuff'' while a dragonborn /fils de dragon is a man with a dragon soul

- I am a french canandian too so some european french translation can even sound strange for me -
