It's because everyone secretly hates you 
The Danish one seems good so far. It's incredibly weird to see stuff in Danish, though

Serenity advised of this project some time ago, and then players may voluntary to translate the whole project to their language.

Also the sentence: "En god blindgyde konstellation at bedrive minedrift (mining) og NPCe i" should really be: "En god blindgyde konstellation at mine (mining) og jage NPC (rats) i" as this is better danish.
The word "Komplex" should be "Kompleks"
The word "(en beacon)" and "(en war-dec)" should either to be consistent just be "(beacon)" or "(et beacon)" and "(et war-dec)" or just (war-dec)
The "asteroide felter" should be "asteroide bµlter" as this is the proper danish.
Also consider making "ingen-sikkerheds (0.0) systemer" to "nul-sikkerheds systemer (0.0)"
The sentence :"H°jeste level komplex (4/10 i systemet)" should be "H°jeste niveau af kompleks (4/10 i systemet)"
Hope these things will make it in the next danish edit of the Map Legend Feel free to contact me ingame i you want me to take another look

"Ingen sikkerhed" is 100% accurate since it's translated from "no security".
You're trying to introduce a player term to a map using the official terms 
Also, I think "nul sikkerhed" sounds lame, on a personal level, lol.
The rest of what you say is true, though, and they really should just translate beacon and war-dec in the places they haven't, so it's "et fyr" (a beacon) and "en krigsdeklaration/krigsdek" (a war declarion)

Yeah "ingen sikkerhed" and "nul-sikkerhed" both sound really lame, but i can't find anything better that true to the english word. Found any other stuff that needs editing ? What about the headlines shouldn't the "jumps" be either "Spring" or "Hop"

Yes and I support "hop" at all of them, although it's just a personal oppinion, since both mean exactly the same thing.
"Station services" also needs fixing. "Stationsbetjening" would be the correct thing here, I believe. "maximum" is "maksimum" in ultra correct Danish, but both things are allowed, I think.
Personally, I don't like that "loot" seems to translate to "bytte", although I don't know if there's a better word for it. It's not like I have a dictionary at my desk haha.
"ssfrent du ikke for en krigserklµring" on the first pic should be "ssfremt du ikke fsr en krigserklµring".. One letter but a big difference, lol.
It also says "page 21" to the right of the big Domain [21] text.. That should be "side 21" in Danish. Other than that I'm not sure

"Nullsec"(Nul-sikkerhed) and "no-sec"(Ingen sikkerhed) are both viable terms, within reference to 0.0 space =) Even if the map is in Danish, I think they should keep the English terms, by that simple statement: They both sound utter ridiciulus in Danish :P We aren't that good at shortening terms and making simple stuff in our language compared to English.. It just sounds.. WRONG!

If you go to The Netherlands on vacation as an english person, you have to be REALLY stupid not to find your way over here, since almost everyone here can speak english pretty good.
Tell that to you english folks who usually speak only.. English ?

I think it's because of the way I named the files. It works fine on my Firefox Browser.
I can simplify the naming, and that should make it compatible. Are you using Internet Explorer or FireFox?

You mean the exact number of belts? That's not the purpose, as that information is readily available everywhere. The purpose of the map with belts is to enable identifying systems with good combinations of belts/moons/sec status/routes/location.
If there are two very similar systems that are a good combo of sec/belts/moons/routes, then it's quick to show-info on those two systems to determine which of the two is exactly best down to 1 belt accuracy.

I agree 100% with this. Danish is good at many things but shortening terms, and especially foreign ones, isn't one of them.

Without re-hashing another post, I'd be quiet happy to challenge your "The Ombey 2D maps are superior in every aspect" statement.
For starters Let's take the unambiguous aspects where ESM is superior: - Top/Bottom/Left/Right orientation of the 2D translation matching the in-game map. - Key systems in neighbouring regions included on region map - Ability to identify distribution of moons/belts at a glance without reading detail on every system. - Display of COSMOS systems and beacons - Visually similar to the style of EVE Map - Layed out to fit on single A4 page
Feek free to Debate.

- in-game map orientation is irrelevant, the ingame map can be rotated any way you please - key systems chosen by you (market hubs etc), my own key systems may be different so not relevant - moons are only relevant where you can set up a POS, for navigation they are irrelevant and can be gathered easily from ingame - complex / cosmos identification also in Omey maps - visual similarity ? well the visual of the ingame map is the one thing why other maps are needed :-) and I prefer white background so I can write there my own notes ... - layout irrelevant, I do scale to A4 when printing and I have no problem reading the maps
Omey advantage: - free of charge - I can print them as I please ... f.e. a wall poster of the my home region with enough space for notes

Thanks, that I can understand. Different players have different needs.

warp (to planet or other POSless body), drop bm in the middle, warp to bm, warp to another body, drop bm in the middle, warp to bm, log off ...
moons are clustered in close proximity (1AU or so) around a planet so number of moons is irrelevant ... and I would neve try to hide at a moon without prior scouting because it can have a nasty POS anchored ... well unless I have a cloak fitted.

Planets can often have small armies of players at them, either waiting to go somewhere or looking for victims.. Also, a proper map wouldn't need notes, as it should contain all the info you'd want from the beginning 
That being said, I don't really use maps for the reason I've mentioned. None of the free ones contain all the stuff I need and atm, I don't feel like paying a bunch of money I don't have for the printed ones

BTW: Tip: If you're hiding/running without bookmarks then a system with a lot of moons (and hence planets) is easier to hide in.
warp (to planet or other POSless body), drop bm in the middle, warp to bm, warp to another body, drop bm in the middle, warp to bm, log off ...
moons are clustered in close proximity (1AU or so) around a planet so number of moons is irrelevant ... and I would neve try to hide at a moon without prior scouting because it can have a nasty POS anchored ... well unless I have a cloak fitted.
oh you did not address my suggestion on notes on the printed map itself and custom sized prints :-))
Planets can often have small armies of players at them, either waiting to go somewhere or looking for victims.. Also, a proper map wouldn't need notes, as it should contain all the info you'd want from the beginning 
That being said, I don't really use maps for the reason I've mentioned. None of the free ones contain all the stuff I need and atm, I don't feel like paying a bunch of money I don't have for the printed ones 
Anything can have armies around ... just no POSes that complicate matters further around planets or belts.
I generaly make a large enough print of Omey's map for the region I am interested in and make hand notes where needed ... serves my needs very well ...
I just can't see the reason to buy a book of maps. If it came on CD so I can print custom size and make notes in it, that might be another story. But why pay for something you can have for free ?
I give full credit to Ombey and his team for the maps, they are great for what they are. --- SIG --- CSM: your support is needed ! |

Originally by: Goodwill George The Swedish translation is horrible. Sorry!
What? You dont like "the legendary map"? But sadly I agree... Makes me wonder if the translator has actually seen a map before...

No one is forcing you to buy it. If you don't like it at least stop pi$$ing on this thread with your useless remarks.

Edited by: Steiner on 13/07/2008 08:38:52 The Icelandic translation is good but some of it needs to be revised.
Glµsih=par? srsy wtf? I can't even see where you got that word from as the original (Constellation) one means "Stj÷rnumerki" in Icelandic which translates Zodiacs in English. There are few words that can replace that like "S²sla" "Sveit"(Maybe not a good one) or "Umdµmi" but that "Glµsih=par" gotta go.
Also "Stj÷rnubelti" (the supposed Asteroid belt) is referring to a belt of stars?! it should be "Smßstirnisbelti".
If you are looking for a translator for the Icelandic map I'm sure you can find a Dev or one of us willing to do some little translation on it and or making sure it sounds correct for (us) Icelanders.
edit: Just saw that translation thing on the site, going to look it over. ---

Thanks for the suggestions for corrections. As you can see from each of the downloadable maps, they're all translated by players.
If you feel one of the translations needs a lot of corrections and are the person to make them, please eve-mail me and I'll send you the original translation file to adjust.
New ones I've received to convert to Legends are in the original post.
Thanks, /Serenity.

Thanks to all the people who sent translations while I've been away on holidays.
Please email/check first .. you may be doing an existing translation, and it's better to update/improve the ones already there.
