Really you of all people?You can't just NOT poke it, can you?
You've spent to much time of WVM thread where being snarky is not tolerated nor anything else fun.

Well, I (and whichone too) had precisely c3p0's script in a different thread. Somebody offering a cheat mod that did not work and blaming the dev for being lazy and not implementing failsafes for the wrong (and impossible in game) numbers his mod introduced.
(By the way, said mod is still available, linked in the game's OP, and still inevitably breaks the game ...)

I actually thought to reply to him, "But your English with how you've made the post asking the translation question doesn't seem too bad." but thought better of it because there could be a possibility he's using some sort of online translator (though it did look much better than google translate lol)
And you are right. In not just this game but even in other works also, there are times where meanings and nuances are lost in the whole translation, and can only be understood in the original language.

I have a lot of experience with documents being machine translated, be it google translate or Deep L, and while they are perfectly capable of conveying the meaning of posts, they tend to have a certain "style" which I think I can recognize (though I would neither bet money on it nor appear with this in a game show on TV) and don't see here.
And to be fair to translators, any text that is more than just a collection of pure information/facts, is basically intranslatable, you will always lose something - connotations words have in one language and in another don't, whole structures of language which may not exist in the target language, and so on. You can of course always explain what happens, but that doesn't work too well in a novel, movie, or game.
And tbh, many of the volunteers for translation in some of the games here - without wanting to make fun of them or complain, volunteer work is hard to come by and should be cherished - lack the necessary skills in both languages (yes, even their own) to make me prefer a translation to an English original, even if the latter is by a non native itself.

lol if you're bringing Gilbert & Sullivan into it, I can't resist 3 Little Maids...

VERY apropos to the story! The only problem is that one of the three original "maids" wasn't, since she's married. Do we ignore that, or consider Eiza to be the third Little Maid?
Personally, I say we must ignore that and consider Isabela one of the three maids.
If this were being made by Naughty Road, I'd fully expect a Three Little Maids wallpaper. On the other hand, didn't we have them in Charlie's Angels position one time?

Oh and absolutely, we can igore Isabel being married to make her the 3rd one.
Or Eiza, whichever floats your boat. Now you've mentioned her, it's a shame I've limited us to 3!
Can't really be Cordia, she's more the Mistress of the house.
Was thinking, for the Pirates of Penzance song, as Horny was saying how well mannered he is, you could have gone for
"He is the very model of a modern mannered gentleman", just to bring it a little closer to the original
Now that you mention it, I have a vague recollection. Got a feeling it was one of the special images, like the Ciri/Luna one?

As wonderful as Eiza is, I think she'll always be second to the original Three Maids. Mistress of the house sounds better than "matron."Ha ha ha, yeah!

Yes, that would have been more accurate. Couldn't resist expanding "pussy" into a three syllable word.

Yup, whole lot of Eiza love, but she's a side dish.
The 3 delicious main courses are all house specialities.
I like chips, but prefer a steak. lol
Ha ha, only thought it because "major general" & "mannered gentleman" were close, to the ear. Right amount of syllables.
Pussy as 3 syllables does give the impression it's being said mid coitus.

I've definitely seen a few words extended in just that way in more than a few of these games.

lol I love how things evolve.
From TDL > Pirates of Penzance > Mikado > Pirates > Mass Effect.
Does that mean there are 2 different degrees of separation between De Luca & ME & both are Gilbert & Sullivan?

No, the Dev (HopesGaming) didn't say how long it would take for the game to complete (come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen any Dev of games I play on this site say that before lol).
Only thing anyone knows is the game is roughly 30% complete as of now (according to the Dev), and the next coming update will likely end the season 1 of DeLuca in terms of content (Dev said there might be 4 seasons, though that's not definitive).
