VTES Translations news

In the may/2019 newsletter 2 topics make me fear the Translations.

Will card names be translated? And keywords?
- We're working on this with our partners now, but that is our intent.

Do you see any drawbacks with translation?
- Two main things come to mind: One is the additional cost and expense of translating. The other is confusion for players looking at a card in multiple languages. We're looking at how best to resolve this e.g. rules and card rulings are in English, do we have an identifier on cards to enable mapping back etc.

Any news about how to avoid problems with card name Translations? ( Please say "we will keep the original names")


What is the proposed identifier on the cards, the original name?

Can we expect a compilation and translation of ALL rullings from decades ago like LSJ rullings that still dictates how some cards interacts ?

I, for one, eagerly await the translation to english.

Touché!

Día de los muertos and other "foreign" language cards will lose some flavor in the translations.

Only in the Spanish version (even portuguese is probably different enough).

In other languages it'll still be named "Día de los Muertos"

Im still trying to know more info about the translations, the newsletter is from may and no one talked about It again.
Maybe its time to print the card code somewherein the card and start to use it in Amaranth, feldb, etc...
