After discovering the game through YouTube videos, he decided to give it a try and loved the game, mostly because of its infinite possibilities and very active modding community. Real-life, Slayer is very interested by rocket science, and is excited by the recent SpaceX achievements.
Involvement in the Wiki Community
After using the Wiki for a while to learn KSP, Slayer decided to help the creators by translating articles to French, thus hopefully helping the french players who don't understand the English articles.
Here's a list of the pages which Slayer currently translated :
- Kerbal Space Center: Vehicle Assembly Building, Spaceplane Hangar, Tracking Station, Astronaut Complex, Flag Pole, Launch Pad, Runway, Crawlerway.
- Kerbol System : Kerbol, Moho, Eve, Gilly, Kerbin, Mun, Minmus, Duna, Ike, Dres, Jool, Laythe, Vall, Tylo, Bop, Pol, Eeloo.
- Game modes: Sandbox, Science mode, Career, Category: Game Modes
... and the list is hopefully going to grow more!
How to translate efficiently?
During all those translations, Slayer developed a few techniques to be faster at translating :
- Start by copying the English article.
- Use Google Translate to do a first translation of everything.
- Improve that translation (fix sentences, translations of KSP-specific words...).
- Add links to french articles
To find the official translations of KSP words, these pages are useful :
- KSP en-us dictionary to find the ID of a specific word or sentence.
- KSP fr dictionary to find the translation of that ID in french. You can also find the dictionaries for other languages here.
