Bunch of suggestions

#1 Post by Lombra » 19 Dec 2016 15:24

I rarely use Swedish in games, because well, it rarely exists, and when it does it's either awkward or not very well done. Sadly ETS2 is no exception! I don't intend to use Swedish in this game, but when I quickly tried it I found numerous glaring issues. I took some time to note down the ones I could find relatively quickly and had obvious improvements for. Overall though, it sounds very directly translated from English, which doesn't work very well in most cases.

Attaching a text file with my suggested improvements.

Apologies for the somewhat messy formatting.

Some general commentary; I found a lot of instances of capital letters where there shouldn't be (in the middle of phrases). I noted most of these. There were also a bunch of compounds with spaces in them. Compounds are very important to get right in Swedish. They never include spaces, though hyphens may be necessary if a non standard word is involved, such as a foreign language or an acronym. Failure to follow rules often results in a completely different meaning.
