Is there a reliable way to translate the Elvish/Quenya/Drow speech back into English? I've literally found 0 ways over the last 30 minutes. I'm fully aware there is no point but I am stubborn and curious.
I suppose it would depend on whether or not there was an actual language developed for those. It can be a challenge trying to come up with the words and syntax for a fictional language even for professional linguists like Tolkien and Marc Okrand.Is there a reliable way to translate the Elvish/Quenya/Drow speech back into English?

I use LotR's Elvish as a base and then change it up a bit. If you really want to translate it, I typically put the translation in the scripts as a comment on the same line the dialogue is spoken.Is there a reliable way to translate the Elvish/Quenya/Drow speech back into English?

Thank you for this, my inner-nerd is satiated nowI use LotR's Elvish as a base and then change it up a bit. If you really want to translate it, I typically put the translation in the scripts as a comment on the same line the dialogue is spoken.
This is from the Syl'iath arc, when you see a captured high elf View attachment 1989612
Some translations are indirect, and elves use less terms than we do for things, instead opting to describe things. For example, Syl'iath is the name of the high elf islands, but it doesn't really have a name like we would think of it. They just call their home "The Shattered Land" like they called Syl'anar "Land of Elf People"
"hi" is used a lot here, but it translates to many things. With this knowledge we can assume "hi" means something like "the present thing" since it refers to 'your' 'this' and 'here'
Oi... you say that and I think back to the book my dad has from when he was.... kid? teenager? My guess is the book, well I was going to say 60+, but just looked up the publishing date, and that would make it probably as old as I am.well to translate quenya... get the "silmarillion" it has small quenya dictionary in the appendix![]()

If nothing else, I want to see him learn from Sylvia, we need to learn how to talk to the Drow one day!View attachment 1990335
but can I make a small suggestion? maybe add a series of small scenes of MC learning the elf languages, and once those scenes are done, have translated text?
"Hi na- cin udûn. (This is your punishment)"
doesn't have to be done for existing scenes, but maybe someone could offer to teach the MC?
I know that when I played the first time around, I did wonder what was being said...
then again, I'm also the guy that replayed FFX after collecting all the al-bhed primers so I could see the translated text...
Hmm...Sylvia in a sexy school teacher outfit...If nothing else, I want to see him learn from Sylvia, we need to learn how to talk to the Drow one day!
Yeah, I am not her biggest fan, but this is one way she can make herself useful.Hmm...Sylvia in a sexy school teacher outfit...
Let's face it, her personality leaves a lot to be desired, but bodywise...
No dude, don't worry, all the whores are virgins and they're only there for you.It begins

As long as no actual love interests are in the brothel working, I really don't give a fuck. But people just like to scream NTR at every thing.Why would anyone thing a brothel is NTR?
Those are sex workers... it's literally their job to take dick left and right.
