Subtitles talk:firsttime/tr

From Homestar Runner Wiki

I'm pretty sure someone's just put this through a translation engine. There are English words everywhere! Also, the player won't play it - I think some of the random symbols caused by BAD TRANSLATION have confused the player. Flicky1991 16:47, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

I can't see any sign of this being a bad translation. The only English words that I can find are names. The "random symbols" are Turkish letters. And the script was broken because the XML was not well-formed. If you encounter a subtitles script that won't run, then you can use the "Test subtitles script" option in the Greasemonkey player, and it will tell you why it breaks. Loafing 18:28, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, looking at the history of this script, I get what you're saying. I've asked one of the authors if they actually speak Turkish. Let's see what they say. Loafing 18:55, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

The English words start coming in near the end, with "it's" appearing twice. There were some extraneous "}" symbols but I think I got rid of them all. Flicky1991 20:44, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Now I discovered them too. Bits like "and you don’t" are popping up. That seriously looks like a bad automated translation. If I don't hear back from slipknot within the next few days, I will have to revert the subtitles. Well spotted, Flicky! Loafing 04:56, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
