The zbb in Verdurian?
I was visiting this board for a while before I joined, and I have been wondering: why donesn't someone translate the board into Verdurian? The phpBB site can tell us how to translate, and the lexicon for Verdurian (and for that matter, almost all the other languages) are very nearly complete, and Zompist translated his server stats into Verdurian! I think this would be a good project, if not for the Zompist himself as he is rather busy, but maybe for one or many of us.

Re: The zbb in Verdurian?
Do you mean translating the ZBB features (the board name, commands and options, etc.) into Verdurian? I think that might well be feasible. Translating all of the posts, of course, would not be. (The original Virtual Verduria Message Board, which focused more on Almea specifically, included a number of posts in Verdurian (including a couple by yours truly), as well as a few in Barakhinei, Cuezi, and Cadhinor; in fact, when Mark first started the board, all of the first people who posted did so in Verdurian.)Mihel Mest? wrote:I was visiting this board for a while before I joined, and I have been wondering: why donesn't someone translate the board into Verdurian?

Don't you want to translate 12773 articles?Glenn Kempf wrote:I think that might well be feasible. Translating all of the posts, of course, would not be.

Actually, I don't think he did... I believe it was somebody else, possibly Philip?Mihel Mest? wrote:Zompist translated his server stats into Verdurian
Re: The zbb in Verdurian?
I'm not certain what Mark has or hasn't done, but I'm pretty sure Philip Newton (or Filipo Petrei Lebdaney, in Verdurian) did translations of his own server stats into Verdurian and other Almean languages; he certainly created some nifty programs for automatically inflecting nouns, adjectives, and verbs in those languages. Philip's been on the board, but he hasn't been posting for a few months now.eodrakken wrote:Actually, I don't think he did...

Re: The zbb in Verdurian?
Indeed, the server stats were by Philip. Philip's knowledge of Verdurian is uncanny.; he doesn't just get the grammar right, he gets the style down too.
I don't know that much about phpbb (hey, that's what I pay Spinn for), but if it's a matter of uploading some files I'll be glad to do it.

Oops! sorry! I guess I should get into the habit of looking over my ravings and actually correcting errors. Thanks for catching me there!eodrakken wrote:Actually, I don't think he did...

But I was only using it as an example of how it is possible to translate something like it into Verdurian. I hope no one took offense.
