Spelling/Pronounciation errors

[Punisher of Souls]

I browsed around this site for a period of time until I arrived at the sound/pronounciation area. I listened to all pronounciations, and some of them seem like they were recorded from far away, or there was a lot of noise in the background. Other than that I have noticed most errors in the Italian wording (both writing and pronounciation). I can only guess other language stuff.

Should I post everything here and say what the errors were, and preferably correct them?

SARSadmin is already informed about some mistakes and will fix them soon. Nontheless, you can post the errors you found here - perhaps we're not yet aware of them.

As far as Italian spelling goes:

"Argento" is fine.
"Auro" should be "Oro". That word doesn't exist in Italian. Maybe Spanish.
"Breesa" isn't an Italian word at all. Complete gibberish. "Brezza" means 'breeze'.
"Fiamma" is fine. Pronounciation should have a longer "m" sound.
"Focco" is wrong both in Spanish, as in Italian. Spanish becomes "Foco" and in Italian it's "Fuoco"
"Platino" is fine. Pronounciation should sound more like: Plaa-ti-no
"Tempesta" is alright. Haven't heard pronounciation yet.
Finally "Viento" is Spanish for wind. "Vento" is the proper Italian word.

I have got a few soundtracks which pronounce these, and the french/German and other words. If you want I can send them as an attachment or something. I'll see what I can find... :roll:

Those are the spellings the game used, that's why they're wrong. The translaters seldom now what language the names are supposed to come from, and hence they very often butcher the words beyond the point of recognition (it is often not easy to translate kana-words into Latin letters).
Part the of pronounciator's job in the archive is to try to figure out what the makers of the game had in mind.

Oh. :? I couldn't recognise them because they may have come from S3.... :shock:

Oh well. I think it would be better to say from where the word was supposed to derive. I mean, it would be a shame for someone to misspell them in real life :mrgreen:


Just one thing: Change Fiamma and Platino's pronounciation. They've gone off-track.

Huh, just something i spotted.

Bier Blanch (Supposedly) White Forest .


Huh, well . . . no. I think "Bier" stands for "Biere" which just means . . . Beer. Yes, White Beer. And to say that, we effectively say "Biere Blanche" .
Well, out of curiosity, where did you find that it was meaning "forest" ?
