Very good you've made an English translation of the Gamekeeper Pyro Forum Law's..
Maybe Gamekeeper can make a 'sticky' of this?

My compliments Mesh!

lol don't you have anything better to do?
ow, I see some mistakes in what you wrote.
Maybe the Mods will change them?

Personally, I can see no mistakes here, gramatics is OK as well. Rules are here to be followed or kept to as accurately as we can. This is not democracy...we could make suggestions, though.

Thanks for this Mesh5!

There are no mistakes in anything I wrote (other than spelling/grammar),
I said I translated the rules freely, when someone translates something
freely there is a big chance of personnal oppinions getting implied.

I have probably made some new rules or marked some new aspects
on rules that weren't there before. Mods decide what stays and goes.


Ow and BOOM I see some mistakes in what you write too .



EDIT: No offence taken, hope you feel the same way.
P.S. My English teacher has different thoughts about that one, if I write
'i' or dont she kicks me in the face.

lol, it's not to insult you or anything, it's just to make that the text doesn't have any mistakes.

ps: because I write dont and not don't isn't a mistake, it's just me being lazy.

And that's against the rules :wink:
BTW, I think all english teachers go mad when you write "i" instead of "I", I think because it's something you forget to do very easily, though I haven't made that fault on a test yet.

[BOOM]

yes, the rules YOU made.

[Mesh5]

The rules are pretty much the same in Dutch and English.
I probably moved the accent on some parts but basicly they're the same.


In the Dutch section you'd also be kicked in the nuts if you said 'iick'
instead of 'ik' (translation = I).

Don't nag about my free translation, if it's unfitting I trust the
mods to edit it.

I don't know what the rest of the mods think of it but in my opinion you've done a pretty good job. You explained them well enough, better get this topic sticky asap.

[gamekeeper]

Thanks for your efforts Mesh5, you've done a great job!

Maybe you can become the translator Gamekeeper Pyro :wink:. I have some pages which still should be translated into English.

[Mesh5]

Sure, just PM me.


I'd have no problem with translating some other stuff.
It's good to get proper English 'automated', if I write English I
make ALOT of gramatic mistakes, right now I'm taking the time
to re-check my messages but in tests I don't have that time.

That's why my previous English teacher advised me to translate texts to English.
Now I can hit two flies in one swing (it's a Dutch proverb, it means doing two good things
at the same time, sorta), Yay.
