Pre-intro[]

Never try translate "XyCraft" into Chinese - because it has been a meme for years. Just don't try that. Unless one day we do have a similar meme in Chinese. Or there is a proper translation for the name itself.

A "miracle" is something like the end the great localization purge.

Every time a wiki editor finishes documenting a mod, the mod author creates new content... happened with GregTech, Project Red, Immersive Engineering..

That is probably the nightmare for every wiki editor. Let's do our best to crush the nightmare.

Self-intro[]

Hey there. I am 3tusk, an ordinary Minecraft player, to be specific, modded Minecraft mods for most time.
In real life I am a college freshman, major in computer science. Often suffering putting off things and forget them until due dates come. Beside academic stuff and Minecraft, I self-study Java, Lua and Kotlin. Usually I consider it as the influence of Minecraft.

For those who may interest, 3tusk is the abbreviation for ThaumicTechTinker Urey.S.Knowledge, where 'Urey' was my English name IRL. (Which means I don't use it in real life now)
It is true that Urey sounds like a Russian name, but its pronunciation resembles my real Chinese name somehow. Whatsoever.

I usually capitalize my id because it is somehow acronym. That said, I prefer to use 3TUSK.


I used to do these things:

  • write text-based tutorial in Simplified Chinese and post on www.mcbbs.net, a Chinese Minecraft forum. I stopped because mod updates fast.
  • convince people to play ic2 and gregtech and do not touch magic mods like thaumcraft and ars magica. I stopped because that only happened in 1.5.2, the end of golden age as I believe.
  • Make modpack on my own and play it. Currently I am playing a 1.12.2 pack designed for my mod, FrogCraft: Rebirth, so that I can have a good measure on inter-mod balance.

Currently I am:

  • Study. Many times, I feel lost. When I feel lost, I sometimes tell myself, "everything will be fine".
  • Work as a mod localizer/translator.
    • Working on localization support for mods. A lot of them. Especially:
  • maintaing a port of FrogCraft.
  • Creating my modpack series. Stunk with good idea and plots.
  • Challenge accepted: translate more than 80% of translatable things here into Simplified Chinese!

Multilingual?[]

  • Native Chinese speaker, simplified variant. Also can read the traditional one, but cannot write. What a pity.
  • I started to learn English since I was a small kid. And I screwed up with TOEFL multiple times And now I am confident with it.
  • Salvete! I started to touch Latin since late 2015 because I met some new friends who are interested in linguistics. Totally accidental. Still struggling with Wheelock.
  • And some modders use anime reference, which is annoying beacuse I have zero knowledge on Japanese.

Things that consider as stable[lower-alpha 1][]

Which version of translation do you use and why?[]

Good question. For now I always search these following sites for translation:

If no result found... I probably choose to submit a brandy new translation. i.e. make one on my own, submit, and use that. Monopoly

Also, welcome to have discussion on translation of certain entry/entries if you are native Chinese speaker or you are confident with your Chinese level. This community needs more input.

Debatable entry[]

I think this should be a new page, but for now I will simply put it here. Anyhow, here are list of word/phrase/sentence (plural applicable) that have debate on their translation. It will not be complete in the foreseeable future. Inputs are always welcome.

  • Desh (GalacticCraft?)
  • Duranium (GregTech 5)
  • Extremely Primordial Pearl (Avaritia)
  • Midasium (Metallurgy 4)
  • Ultimet (GregTech 5)

TODO[]

  • A Navbox for ChromatiCraft
  • Finish AcademyCraft stuff before they finally decide to port to 1.12.2
  • Keep eyes on GregTech 6 documentation & its wiki translation
  • Wiki translation:

Contact?[]

Now I am not be as crazy about social media as of I used to be. Anyhow here is a list.

  • GitHub.
  • My blog. And yes it is empty currently.
  • IRC.
    • For now, I only show up on esper dot net as "TriTUSK" in #FTB-Wiki and #BTM. Nickname cannot start with number, forcing me use prefix "tri-".

Subpage(s)[]

Something for Chinese translator from the future[]

  • Be faithful.
  • Replace ni\{([a-zA-Z\"\s\(\)\']*)\} with ni{\1,\1,"Fill translation here(这里写翻译)"} if you want to save couple of seconds[lower-alpha 2];
  • If available, use existed, commonly agreed translation;
    • That said, if you wanna translate something about a mod, look up on Github/BitBucket/etc. or just unzip the jar file, to see if there is a file named zh_CN.lang.
  • Be patient.
  • Use some kind of guideline.
  • What's next?

Notes[]

  1. Documentation and Translation is eternal; therefore you can't say "translation is done!" because there will be new entries few days later.
  2. Magic of regex.
