## Unreleased
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 1.0.0 — 2026-08-08
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The first tagged version: *Outer Wilds* and *Echoes of the Eye* are translated,
|
||||||
|
which is what this mod set out to do.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Added
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Slovak localization of *Outer Wilds* and *Echoes of the Eye*, as an OWML mod
|
||||||
|
built on `xen.LocalizationUtility`.
|
||||||
|
- A fixed glossary of proper nouns and recurring terms, so names stay consistent
|
||||||
|
across the whole script.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Changed
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The documentation left the repository. The working notes, the phase roadmap,
|
||||||
|
the glossary and the in-game review notes are now the
|
||||||
|
[wiki](https://git.houmeres.sk/Houmeres/Outer-Wilds-SK-Translation-Mod/wiki),
|
||||||
|
and the history was rewritten in the same pass so they are not present at any
|
||||||
|
commit. `assets/Translation.xml` stays here — it ships with the mod.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Note on history
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Any clone taken before 2026-08-08 has a different history and should be
|
||||||
|
discarded rather than merged.

# CLAUDE.md — Outer Wilds SK Translation Mod
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Working context for Claude Code (and human contributors) in this repository.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## What this repo is
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
An **unofficial Slovak (slovenčina) translation mod for *Outer Wilds*** — base
|
|
||||||
game **and** the *Echoes of the Eye* DLC. It is primarily a **data/translation
|
|
||||||
project**, not a conventional codebase: the bulk of the work is one large XML file
|
|
||||||
of translated strings, wrapped in a thin C# mod shell.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Not affiliated with Mobius Digital / Annapurna.** Game text is © Mobius
|
|
||||||
Digital, used under their Fan Content Policy. This project's own code and
|
|
||||||
translation are MIT (see [`LICENSE`](LICENSE) and [`README.md`](README.md)).
|
|
||||||
- Roadmap and phase status live in [`PLAN.md`](PLAN.md). Update it as phases land.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## How the mod works
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is an [OWML](https://github.com/ow-mods/owml) mod that depends on **xen-42's
|
|
||||||
Localization Utility / Interplanetary Polyglot** (`xen.LocalizationUtility`, MIT).
|
|
||||||
The utility does all the heavy lifting; this mod just:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Declares the dependency in `manifest.json`:
|
|
||||||
`"dependencies": ["xen.LocalizationUtility"]`.
|
|
||||||
2. In its `ModBehaviour.Start()`, grabs the API and registers a new language:
|
|
||||||
```csharp
|
|
||||||
var api = ModHelper.Interaction.TryGetModApi<ILocalizationAPI>("xen.LocalizationUtility");
|
|
||||||
api.RegisterLanguage(this, "Slovenčina", "assets/Translation.xml");
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
3. Ships the translated strings in `assets/Translation.xml`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**No game files are needed to build the mod.** The English source
|
|
||||||
`Translation.xml` is published by the utility repo and used as the template.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Slovak is a Latin-script language, so **no `AddLanguageFixer`** (that's for RTL
|
|
||||||
scripts) is needed. A custom font via `AddLanguageFont` (Unity **2019.4.27f1**
|
|
||||||
asset bundle) is only required if the stock game font is missing Slovak glyphs —
|
|
||||||
to be verified during in-game testing (Phase 6/7).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

Model the C#/manifest scaffold on the community Czech mod
|
|
||||||
([`shippy/outer-wilds-czech`](https://github.com/shippy/outer-wilds-czech)).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Translation conventions (important)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
`Translation.xml` is a **flat** `<TranslationTable_XML>` of repeated `<entry>`
|
|
||||||
blocks, each with a `<key>` and a `<value>`. Rules:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Never edit `<key>`.** It is the exact English source string the game matches
|
|
||||||
on — changing it silently breaks that string's translation.
|
|
||||||
- **Translate only `<value>`.** Start from a copy of the English file (key == value)
|
|
||||||
and replace each value with Slovak.
|
|
||||||
- **Preserve inline markup verbatim**, including XML-escaped tags:
|
|
||||||
`<color=orange>…</color>`, `<i>…</i>`, `</color>`,
|
|
||||||
and raw entities `< > &`. Translate the words, keep the tags.
|
|
||||||
- **Keep speaker prefixes** (e.g. `POKE:`, `CLARY:`) and any leading labels.
|
|
||||||
- **Use the glossary** (`docs/glossary.md`) for proper nouns and recurring terms so
|
|
||||||
Nomai / the Eye / Ash Twin Project / etc. render identically everywhere.
|
|
||||||
- Watch text length: Nomai text walls and UI have limited space — prefer concise
|
|
||||||
phrasings where the English is terse.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Translation production:** machine-assisted first pass (clean-room, no third-party
|
|
||||||
text) followed by a Slovak-speaking review pass. Phase by category for shippable
|
|
||||||
increments: **UI/menus → dialogue/text walls → ship log**.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Build & test
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Toolchain present locally: `dotnet 6.0.400`, `git`. **The game and the Outer
|
|
||||||
Wilds Mod Manager are NOT installed on this machine** — in-game testing (Phase 7)
|
|
||||||
requires installing *Outer Wilds* + Mod Manager + OWML first.
|
|
||||||
- Build: `dotnet build` (the `.csproj` references OWML/game DLLs — see the Czech
|
|
||||||
mod for the exact reference setup).
|
|
||||||
- Test: load via the Mod Manager, select **Slovenčina**, and verify menus,
|
|
||||||
dialogue, and the ship log render correctly (including diacritics
|
|
||||||
á ä č ď é í ĺ ľ ň ó ô ŕ š ť ú ý ž).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Repo / process notes
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- This is a **standalone project repo** (Gitea `Homer/Outer-Wilds-SK-Translation-Mod`),
|
|
||||||
independent of `~/Agent/Systems`. Changes here do **not** require a system
|
|
||||||
changelog entry — unless we install system tooling (game, Mod Manager, a Unity
|
|
||||||
version) to support it, in which case record that in `~/Agent` docs as usual.
|
|
||||||
- Commit as the Gitea identity (Homer <admin@ecoposta.sk>). Don't commit/push
|
|
||||||
unless asked.

# PLAN.md — Slovak translation of Outer Wilds
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Roadmap for building the mod. Status markers: ✅ done · 🚧 in progress · ⬜ todo.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Goal
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Add **Slovenčina** as a fully selectable language to *Outer Wilds*, covering the
|
|
||||||
**base game and the *Echoes of the Eye* DLC**, distributed as an Outer Wilds Mod
|
|
||||||
Manager mod. Quality target: natural, consistent Slovak — not literal machine
|
|
||||||
output.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Approach
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Built on **xen-42's Localization Utility / Interplanetary Polyglot**
|
|
||||||
(`xen.LocalizationUtility`) — register a new language from one `Translation.xml`.
|
|
||||||
No game files needed to build.
|
|
||||||
- **Translation:** machine-assisted first pass (clean-room, no third-party
|
|
||||||
translation text reused), then a **Slovak-speaking human review pass**. Phased by
|
|
||||||
category so partial releases are usable: **UI/menus → dialogue/text walls →
|
|
||||||
ship log**.
|
|
||||||
- **Scope:** the single ~896 KB `Translation.xml` already contains base game + DLC
|
|
||||||
strings together, so scope is "everything," sequenced internally by category.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phases
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Phase 1 — Repo scaffold & docs ✅
|
|
||||||
`README.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `PLAN.md`, and MIT `LICENSE` in place.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Phase 2 — Mod skeleton ✅
|
|
||||||
Created the OWML mod shell, modelled on
|
|
||||||
[`shippy/outer-wilds-czech`](https://github.com/shippy/outer-wilds-czech):
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `manifest.json` — `author: Homer`, `uniqueName: Homer.SlovakTranslation`,
|
|
||||||
`name`, `version`, `owmlVersion`, `dependencies: ["xen.LocalizationUtility"]`.
|
|
||||||
- `ILocalizationAPI.cs` — interface copied from the utility.
|
|
||||||
- `SlovakTranslation.cs` — `ModBehaviour` calling
|
|
||||||
`api.RegisterLanguage(this, "Slovenčina", "assets/Translation.xml")`.
|
|
||||||
- `SlovakTranslation.csproj` / `.sln`, `.gitignore`, empty `assets/`.
|
|
||||||
- Optional: GitHub/Gitea release workflow.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Phase 3 — Import English source ✅
|
|
||||||
Imported the base English `Translation.xml` (896 KB, 2424 entries, keys == values)
|
|
||||||
from the utility repo into `assets/`. This is the file to translate.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
> Build verified: `dotnet build -c Release` compiles against the `OWML` /
|
|
||||||
> `OuterWildsGameLibs` NuGet packages (no game install needed) and stages a
|
|
||||||
> loadable mod folder (`SlovakTranslation.dll` + `manifest.json` +
|
|
||||||
> `default-config.json` + `assets/Translation.xml`) in `bin/`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Phase 4 — Glossary 🚧
|
|
||||||
First draft of `docs/glossary.md` in place: tone/register locked (informal *ty*),
|
|
||||||
and SK renderings proposed for the proper nouns and recurring terms below. Rows
|
|
||||||
marked `❓ review` still need the Slovak-speaking review pass to finalize.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Write `docs/glossary.md` fixing SK renderings (or keep-in-English decisions) for
|
|
||||||
proper nouns and recurring terms, e.g.: Nomai, Hearthian, the Eye / Eye of the
|
|
||||||
Universe, Ash Twin Project, Vessel, Black Hole Forge, Quantum Moon, Sun Station,
|
|
||||||
ship log, Nomai statue, Ember Twin, Ash Twin, Timber Hearth, Brittle Hollow,
|
|
||||||
Giant's Deep, Dark Bramble, Interloper, Stranger (DLC), Owlk/"Owlks" (DLC).
|
|
||||||
Decide tone/register (informal *ty* vs. formal) and lock it here.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Phase 5 — Translate `<value>` entries ✅ (machine-assisted pass complete; human review pending)
|
|
||||||
Machine-assisted pass → human review, by category (UI/menus → dialogue → ship log),
|
|
||||||
base + DLC. Preserve all `<color=…>`/`<i>` markup, entities, and speaker
|
|
||||||
prefixes. Track progress and any hard-to-translate lines here or in issues.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**All three categories now have a complete first-pass translation** (UI 814,
|
|
||||||
ship log 483, dialogue 2423). Whole-file English-leak scan: 0. Remaining work is
|
|
||||||
the **Slovak-speaking human review pass** (puns, register, Nomai text-wall length,
|
|
||||||
the review-flagged lines noted per batch).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Progress by category (source has 3 sections — the flat `<entry>` list = dialogue/
|
|
||||||
text walls, `<table_shipLog>` = ship log, `<table_ui>` = UI/menus):
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **UI/menus (`<table_ui>`, 814 entries) — ✅ machine-assisted first pass done,
|
|
||||||
place-name terms reviewed & locked.** All values translated; integer `<key>`
|
|
||||||
IDs untouched; `\n`, `<!>` input-prompt tokens, `<Profile Name>`
|
|
||||||
placeholder, and color/italic markup preserved; XML re-verified well-formed.
|
|
||||||
Casing mirrors the source (ALL-CAPS button labels stay caps). A consistency
|
|
||||||
re-pass applied the locked glossary terms (Scout → *Skaut*, Signalscope →
|
|
||||||
*Signáloskop*, Timber Hearth → *Drevený kozub*, Ash/Ember Twin → *Dvojča
|
|
||||||
Popolu / Dvojča Uhlíka*, etc.). Remaining: a general Slovak review of the
|
|
||||||
non-proper-noun phrasings.
|
|
||||||
- **Ship log (`<table_shipLog>`, 483 entries) — ✅ machine-assisted first pass done.**
|
|
||||||
All values translated (location names + rumor/fact entries); string `<key>`
|
|
||||||
lookups untouched; plain text (no markup). Narrator voice locked to masculine;
|
|
||||||
ship-log place names locked in the glossary (§3, §5b). XML re-verified
|
|
||||||
well-formed; mod builds. **Still needs the Slovak review pass.**
|
|
||||||
- **Dialogue / text walls (flat `<entry>` list, 2423 entries) — ✅ COMPLETE.**
|
|
||||||
Every `<value>` is translated; the only remaining `value==key` entries are
|
|
||||||
proper names (kept in English), the panic-scream onomatopoeia, sick-noises,
|
|
||||||
Kickstarter backer credits, and the ASCII-art easter eggs — all intentional.
|
|
||||||
A whole-file English-leak heuristic (English function-words present, no Slovak
|
|
||||||
diacritics/markers) reports **0** leaks in the flat list, ship log, and UI.
|
|
||||||
Batched by **content type** (not planet — the flat list is asset-ID ordered):
|
|
||||||
Nomai lore/wall-text (by speaker) → Hearthian villagers → travelers →
|
|
||||||
player/system/DLC. Preserve `<color=…>`/`<i>`/`<size=…>` markup,
|
|
||||||
template tokens (`<Pause/>`, `<TimeMinutes>`, `<NbTimeloops>`,
|
|
||||||
`<…SinceRedGiant>`), `\n`, speaker prefixes, and per-entry whitespace.
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 1 — Solanum (70 lines) ✅** — Quantum Moon pilgrim: astronomy-museum
|
|
||||||
walls, Tower of Quantum Knowledge / Quantum Shrine, Eye philosophy. Feminine
|
|
||||||
voice. Applied by key; XML re-verified; builds.
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 2 — Vessel / warp-core debate (29 lines) ✅** — the Nomai clan
|
|
||||||
debating how to obtain the advanced warp core for the Ash Twin Project
|
|
||||||
(Oeno, Clary, Poke, Idaea, Avens, Cassava, Spire, Mitis) + Poke's personal
|
|
||||||
reflections + the Vessel's escape-pod launch / crash computer log. Poke &
|
|
||||||
Clary feminine, Annona masculine.
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 3 — Orbital Probe Cannon (50 lines) ✅** — Construction Yard cyclones
|
|
||||||
(Conoy, Spire, Cassava), building/firing the cannon (Cassava, Daz, Mallow,
|
|
||||||
Privet, Avens, Yarrow), the "let's send a probe" decision, and the cannon's
|
|
||||||
damage-report / launch-log system text. Avens masc, Ramie fem. Preserved
|
|
||||||
`<TimeMinutes>`/`<TimeSeconds>` tokens and the "on the other
|
|
||||||
appendage" Nomai joke.
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 4 — Ash Twin Project warp mechanism (53 lines) ✅** — warp-tower
|
|
||||||
alignment lore, White Hole Station tutorial, tower designs, ore/shell
|
|
||||||
construction, warp-core-source debate (Yarrow, Clary, Poke, Root, Phlox,
|
|
||||||
Oeno, Cycad, Annona, Ramie, Ilex). Pye fem, Plume masc. (Sun Station debate,
|
|
||||||
firing, failure + memory statues still to come.)
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 5 — Sun Station + memory statues (61 lines) ✅** — the Sun Station
|
|
||||||
build debate (Idaea/Pye/Ramie/Poke), Pye's supernova/"gas" humor, the firing
|
|
||||||
orders, the failure aftermath, and the memory statues + masks (Phlox, Daz,
|
|
||||||
Yarrow, Ramie, Oeno, Root). Idaea masc. Preserved the 1304 countdown tokens
|
|
||||||
(`<RemainingMinutes>`…) + `\n` and `<TimeMinutes>`/`<TimeSeconds>`.
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 6 — High Energy Lab (42 lines) ✅** — the negative-time-interval
|
|
||||||
experiments (Pye & Ramie), the white/black-hole-core setup, the 22-minute
|
|
||||||
hypothesis, and the High Energy Lab / Sunless City labels + distance markers.
|
|
||||||
Kept Pye/Ramie's "gas / aeriform" state-of-matter puns (flagged for review)
|
|
||||||
and Conoy's "lose his head" joke.
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 7 — Quantum caves (48 lines) ✅** — the quantum shard, the Quantum
|
|
||||||
Moon locator, the wandering-rock / quantum-travel experiments, Coleus's
|
|
||||||
disappearance and the search for him, and the Ember Twin shelter-path
|
|
||||||
directions (Coleus, Melorae, Bur, Annona, Thatch, Plume). Coleus/Melorae
|
|
||||||
masc. Kept the pre-discovery moon names (*putujúci / prízračný mesiac*) and
|
|
||||||
Melorae's "my sedimentary friend" geologist humor.
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 8 — Interloper shuttle + warp-tower scroll-wall (43 lines) ✅** — the
|
|
||||||
comet crew discovering the exotic/ghost matter in the ruptured stone (Pye,
|
|
||||||
Poke, Clary — all feminine; Poke & Clary are sisters), plus the leftover
|
|
||||||
White Hole Station / warp-tower scroll-wall lines that finish the batch-4
|
|
||||||
conversations (Clary/Poke/Root/Yarrow, incl. the Clary–Yarrow romance).
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 9 — Brittle Hollow / Escape Pod 1 clan saga (94 lines) ✅** — the
|
|
||||||
crash, the volcanic-moon danger, quantum-grove wandering trees/shard, the
|
|
||||||
Eye-signal locator, the migration to the northern glacier, and the loss of
|
|
||||||
loved ones (Plume, Thatch, Filix, Lami, Annona, Rhus, Ilex, Spire, Coleus,
|
|
||||||
Cassava, Kousa). Filix & Melorae revealed **feminine** ("her note", "Aunt
|
|
||||||
Melorae") — corrected batch 7's Melorae lines to feminine here.
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 11 — final Nomai batch (113 lines) ✅ — ALL NOMAI DIALOGUE DONE.**
|
|
||||||
The warp-window details, mining-sites/native-life (Coleus/Cycad/Oeno), the
|
|
||||||
new-Vessel debate (Ilex), the memory-statue philosophy (Phlox/Daz/Cassava),
|
|
||||||
the probe-cannon-origin / Eye-search debate (Avens/Cassava/Plume), the
|
|
||||||
Sun Station "mission" humor (Idaea), the anglerfish-fossil study
|
|
||||||
(Melorae/Coleus), and scattered scroll-wall leftovers. Privet revealed
|
|
||||||
**feminine** ("her brother") — corrected her one masculine line in batch 3.
|
|
||||||
**Every speaker-prefixed Nomai line is now translated.**
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 10 — Bells scrolls + kids' game + Escall's clan history (87 lines) ✅**
|
|
||||||
— the Tower of Quantum Knowledge pilgrimage scrolls (Bells), the Fossil Fish
|
|
||||||
Cave anglerfish blindfold game (Laevi/Taget/Ilex/Lami), and the ancient
|
|
||||||
"Disappearance of Escall" myth + Escape Pod 3 / Secca–Din (Canna, Bromi,
|
|
||||||
Clem, Hyssop, Neem, Escall, Filix, Din). Distant place names translated
|
|
||||||
(*Súmračná galaxia*, *Čierna skala*, *Jasná iskra*) and flagged.
|
|
||||||
- **Nomai dialogue: ✅ complete.** Remaining dialogue is the ~1725
|
|
||||||
Hearthian/player lines (villagers, the travelers, player-facing/system text).
|
|
||||||
- **Hearthian villagers — 🚧 started.**
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 12 — Museum + Slate (100 lines) ✅** — the museum signs/exhibits
|
|
||||||
and Slate the shipbuilder's whole launch-day conversation (ship, launch
|
|
||||||
codes, ship-log markers, marshmallows, his jabs). First use of **mláďa**
|
|
||||||
(Hatchling). Player addressed as *ty*; "Stars above" → *Hviezdy nad nami*;
|
|
||||||
Hearthian names kept (Slate, Hornfels, Gossan, Hal, Mica).
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 13 — Hal + Gossan + Hornfels (204 lines) ✅** — the rest of launch
|
|
||||||
day: Hal (translator inventor, the new Nomai statue), Gossan (flight coach,
|
|
||||||
zero-g training), and Hornfels (curator, launch codes, the travelers'
|
|
||||||
whereabouts, Feldspar, and his redshift "Observations" exhibit on the
|
|
||||||
expanding universe). "Stars above" → *Hviezdy nad nami*; translator tool →
|
|
||||||
*prekladač*; preserved `<Pause>`/`<Pause/>`/`<color=grey>` and `\n\n`.
|
|
||||||
The village kids (Tephra, Galena, Marl, Rutile…) and other NPCs remain.
|
|
||||||
- **⚠️ Scope correction (batch 17):** the earlier line-counts under-counted.
|
|
||||||
A proper scan (a value is untranslated iff it's a suffix of its ID-prefixed
|
|
||||||
key — e.g. key `MeetGabbro3F…` / value `…`) shows **~1090 dialogue lines
|
|
||||||
still untranslated**, not the ~730 previously estimated. Remaining blocks
|
|
||||||
(asset-ID ranges): player-self/duplicate convo (169–308, 140), **Gabbro
|
|
||||||
366–575 ✅**, Feldspar/Chert HUD signs (800–842, 1329–1380, 1822–1840),
|
|
||||||
village kids (1459–1752, ~260), Chert campsite (1975–2283, 308), Signalscope
|
|
||||||
kid + misc (2360–2421, 59), plus generic traveler responses interleaved.
|
|
||||||
- **The travelers — 🚧 started** (Gabbro, Riebeck, Feldspar, Esker, Chert; each a
|
|
||||||
big campsite conversation).
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 17 — Gabbro (204 lines) ✅** — the laid-back "time buddy" on
|
|
||||||
Giant's Deep (*Obrova hlbina*): his surfer-philosopher patter about the
|
|
||||||
time loop, the memory statues, Statue Island (*Ostrov sôch*, his coinage),
|
|
||||||
the Orbital Probe Cannon breaking, his quantum poem/art, the meditation
|
|
||||||
mini-lesson, and the deep-space-satellite ("Ol' Spacey" → **Vesmírko**)
|
|
||||||
inspection log. Masculine; player as *ty*; Hornfels masculine (per existing
|
|
||||||
SK). Preserved `<i>`/`<Pause>` markup and the many repeated
|
|
||||||
menu blocks. **Flag for review:** the "Ol'"-is-affectionate line (465)
|
|
||||||
references old-ness while the nickname *Vesmírko* carries affection via
|
|
||||||
diminutive instead — minor disconnect. Remaining travelers: Chert (308),
|
|
||||||
Esker, Riebeck/Feldspar leftovers.
|
|
||||||
- **Player / self dialogue — 🚧 started.**
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 18 — the "two of you" black-hole duplicate convo (125 lines) ✅**
|
|
||||||
— the meeting between the two copies of the player created by the
|
|
||||||
black-hole/white-hole jump (Ash Twin Project): the confused-memories
|
|
||||||
banter, the dating jokes (Gossan/Slate, "Gossan's eye"), the "are you a
|
|
||||||
figment of my imagination" bit, the *"we are the Feldspar of weird time
|
|
||||||
stuff"* line, the panic-attack screaming sequence, and the post-intro
|
|
||||||
bragging menu (first solo trip, Sun-Station landing, "even Riebeck
|
|
||||||
survived their first launch"). Both speakers are the player → **masculine**;
|
|
||||||
they address each other as *ty*. The 15 pure-scream onomatopoeia lines
|
|
||||||
(AAAH, with `<b>`/`<size=50>` markup) left verbatim as
|
|
||||||
language-neutral. Preserved `<i>`/`<b>`/`<Pause/>`/`<pause>`
|
|
||||||
markup and `\\n\\n`.
|
|
||||||
- **Final dialogue sweep (batches 19–22) — ✅ done in parallel (subagents +
|
|
||||||
main), 770 + 22 lines.** The rest of the flat list, produced by three
|
|
||||||
translator subagents (each writing a JSON of translations, applied
|
|
||||||
race-free in the main thread) plus a large main-thread block:
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 19 — Hearthian village kids / villagers (271 lines) ✅** — Marl,
|
|
||||||
Tephra, Galena, Rutile, Tuff (the sick miner), Spinel, Arkose, Gneiss,
|
|
||||||
Porphy (sap-wine maker), Mica, the model-rocket kid, hide-and-seek, mayor
|
|
||||||
Rutile, the ghost-matter kids. Player as *mláďa*; casual kid register.
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 20 — Chert + Esker + Feldspar's jellyfish journal + Gabbro extras
|
|
||||||
(359 lines) ✅** — Chert the jittery astronomer on the *Presýpacie
|
|
||||||
dvojčatá* (star charts, supernovae, his end-of-universe breakdown, the
|
|
||||||
stargazing campfire finale), **Esker**'s lonely *Mesačná základňa* on the
|
|
||||||
*Skalka*, Feldspar's jellyfish tasting notes, and Gabbro's statue/"I died"
|
|
||||||
variant conversations + band-reunion ending. Also the Ember-Twin research
|
|
||||||
signs, Esker's Signáloskop log, and Gneiss the instrument-maker.
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 21 — signs, Signalscope kid, endgame + Nomai-writing signs (138
|
|
||||||
lines) ✅** — Giant's-Deep HUD/observation signs, the Signalscope-kid
|
|
||||||
endgame scene, the credits/epitaph signs (backer names kept), and the
|
|
||||||
museum Nomai-writing exhibit signs. ASCII-art easter eggs left as art
|
|
||||||
(only embedded words like LOADING→*NAČÍTAVA SA* translated).
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 22 — straggler sweep + consistency (22 lines) ✅** — a whole-file
|
|
||||||
English-heuristic scan caught 22 lines the *suffix-of-key* detector missed
|
|
||||||
(curly-vs-straight-quote drift between key and value: Gabbro "bright flash"
|
|
||||||
variants, the sap-wine labels, the ghost-matter kids' Signáloskop game, two
|
|
||||||
museum signs, the ATP **masks data-readout** at idx 1964, Tektite's scout
|
|
||||||
note). **Detection lesson:** "value is a suffix of its ID-prefixed key" is
|
|
||||||
necessary but not sufficient — always follow up with an English-word / no-
|
|
||||||
Slovak-diacritic heuristic to catch copied-but-drifted values.
|
|
||||||
- **Consistency fixes this pass:** Hollow's Lantern → **Lampáš** (not
|
|
||||||
*Dutinin lampáš*; glossary note added), ghost matter → **prízračná hmota**
|
|
||||||
(was one *duchová hmota*), Hanging City → **Visuté mesto** (was *Visiace*).
|
|
||||||
- **Toolchain:** installed `dotnet-sdk` (10.0.110) locally; `dotnet build -c
|
|
||||||
Release` now **succeeds** (0 warnings/errors) and stages the loadable mod
|
|
||||||
folder in `bin/Release/` (DLL + manifest + config + assets/Translation.xml).
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 14 — Feldspar (120 lines) ✅** — the boastful crashed ace in Dark
|
|
||||||
Bramble (his crash tale, the anglerfish skeleton camp, the "space is
|
|
||||||
bigger inside the seeds" theory). Masculine; heavy on *mláďa*; kept his
|
|
||||||
swagger. Remaining travelers: Gabbro (~213), Riebeck (~125), Chert (~150),
|
|
||||||
Esker (~160).
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 15 — Riebeck (69 lines) ✅** — the anxious, stammering archaeologist
|
|
||||||
on Brittle Hollow: loves the Nomai ruins (the Hanging City), terrified of
|
|
||||||
the "you-know-what" (black hole). Masculine; timid *ehm/uf* voice; kept the
|
|
||||||
`<size=20>` shrinking-text asides. (His planet's HUD labels + the museum
|
|
||||||
star/skeleton exhibits interleaved in this range are deferred to their own
|
|
||||||
batches.) Remaining travelers: Gabbro (~213), Chert (~150), Esker (~160).
|
|
||||||
- **Batch 16 — Nomai shrines + system/HUD text & location signs (98 lines) ✅**
|
|
||||||
— a sweep of the player-facing/system and Nomai-shrine text interleaved
|
|
||||||
through the flat list that earlier speaker-based batches skipped: the
|
|
||||||
**Eye Shrine** and **Quantum Shrine** wall-text (the *Oko vesmíru* signal
|
|
||||||
philosophy Q&A), the **Tower of Quantum Knowledge** trial/pilgrimage lines
|
|
||||||
("Seek the wandering arch", quantum-imaging congratulations), the Brittle
|
|
||||||
Hollow **location signs** (districts + directional `\\n(sever/juh/… N m)`
|
|
||||||
markers — *Visuté mesto*, *Kováreň čiernych dier*, *Veža kvantového
|
|
||||||
poznania*, etc.), the **Escape Pod 2/3 flightlogs** + cannon/probe/Sun-tower
|
|
||||||
system readouts (`<NbTimeloops>`, `<TimeMinutes>`,
|
|
||||||
`<MinutesSinceRedGiant>` tokens preserved), and scattered UI labels
|
|
||||||
(RECORDING → *NAHRÁVANIE*, warnings/verdicts, "the Prisoner" → *Väzeň*).
|
|
||||||
Directions localized (north→sever, below→dole, left→vľavo…); "281,042" →
|
|
||||||
*281 042*. Left the two ASCII-art easter eggs (LOADING/QR) unchanged. XML
|
|
||||||
re-verified well-formed. **Only remaining key==value entries are the 22
|
|
||||||
Hearthian/Nomai character names (kept in English) + those 2 art blocks.**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Terminology change (applied file-wide): **Black Hole Forge → Kováreň čiernych
|
|
||||||
dier** (was *Zlieváreň čiernej diery*) — 15 occurrences across ship log + dialogue.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Phase 6 — Diacritic / font check ⬜
|
|
||||||
Verify the stock game font renders all Slovak glyphs
|
|
||||||
(á ä č ď é í ĺ ľ ň ó ô ŕ š ť ú ý ž). Only if any are missing: build a font asset
|
|
||||||
bundle in **Unity 2019.4.27f1** and wire `api.AddLanguageFont(...)`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Phase 7 — Build & in-game test ⬜
|
|
||||||
**Prerequisite:** install *Outer Wilds* + Outer Wilds Mod Manager + OWML (none are
|
|
||||||
on this machine yet). Then `dotnet build`, load via the Mod Manager, select
|
|
||||||
Slovenčina, and verify menus, dialogue, and ship log render correctly.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Phase 8 — Release ⬜
|
|
||||||
Tag a Gitea release; optionally submit to the Outer Wilds mod database so the mod
|
|
||||||
appears in the Mod Manager for everyone.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Open items / risks
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Font coverage** for Slovak-specific glyphs (ľ ĺ ŕ ô ä) is unverified until
|
|
||||||
in-game testing (Phase 6/7).
|
|
||||||
- **Translation volume is the real cost** — ~896 KB of source text. A
|
|
||||||
Slovak-speaking review pass is essential, especially for DLC/dialogue nuance,
|
|
||||||
puns, and Nomai text-wall length constraints.
|
|
||||||
- **In-game testing is blocked** until the game + Mod Manager are installed locally.
|
|
||||||
- Confirm the tone/register decision (Phase 4) early — reworking it later is costly.

# Glossary / Slovník — Outer Wilds SK
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Fixed Slovak renderings for proper nouns and recurring terms, so names stay
|
|
||||||
**identical everywhere** in `assets/Translation.xml`. Follow this file when
|
|
||||||
translating; propose changes here (not ad-hoc in the XML).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
> **Status:** place names & proper nouns reviewed and **locked** (2026-07-20,
|
|
||||||
> the "go risky" pass — planet names are translated, not kept in English). Rows
|
|
||||||
> still marked `❓ review` need the Slovak-speaking review pass before they are

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## 0. Tone & register (locked)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Address the player informally — *ty*, not *vy*.** Outer Wilds has a warm,
|
|
||||||
around-the-campfire tone; the Hearthians are your friends. Use *ty* / informal
|
|
||||||
imperatives (e.g. *"Pozri sa"*, not *"Pozrite sa"*) throughout menus, prompts,
|
|
||||||
and dialogue.
|
|
||||||
- **UI casing mirrors the source.** The game bakes capitalization into the
|
|
||||||
strings (many buttons are ALL-CAPS in the data), so ALL-CAPS English → ALL-CAPS
|
|
||||||
Slovak; otherwise sentence case. Fixed proper names (Skaut, Signáloskop, Dvojča
|
|
||||||
Popolu, …) keep the capitalization given in this glossary.
|
|
||||||
- **Keep the source's voice per speaker.** Nomai text is formal and precise;
|
|
||||||
Hearthian dialogue is casual. Register can shift by *speaker*, but the
|
|
||||||
player is always addressed as *ty*.
|
|
||||||
- **Diacritics always** — á ä č ď é í ĺ ľ ň ó ô ŕ š ť ú ý ž. Never strip them.
|
|
||||||
- **Narrator gender (locked):** the player-character is canonically genderless, but
|
|
||||||
Slovak past tense forces a gender. Use **masculine** for the player's first-person
|
|
||||||
log/dialogue voice (*Našiel som*, *Videl som*, *Vypustil som*). Named characters
|
|
||||||
take their English gender where given (**Solanum** = feminine; **Coleus** =
|
|
||||||
masculine); the singular-*they* travelers (Riebeck, Feldspar, Gabbro, Esker,
|
|
||||||
Chert) default to **masculine**.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## 1. General rules
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Never edit `<key>`.** Translate only `<value>`. (See `CLAUDE.md`.)
|
|
||||||
- **Preserve inline markup verbatim:** `<color=…>…</color>`,
|
|
||||||
`<i>…</i>`, entities `< > &`. Translate the words, keep
|
|
||||||
the tags and the exact color names (`lightblue`, `orange`, …).
|
|
||||||
- **Keep speaker prefixes verbatim:** `POKE:`, `CLARY:`, `SOLANUM:`, etc. — do
|
|
||||||
not translate or reorder the label.
|
|
||||||
- **Declension:** Slovak inflects. A glossary entry gives the base (nominative)
|
|
||||||
form; decline it naturally in context (*na Drevenom kozube*, *z Temného tŕnia*,
|
|
||||||
*do Krehkej dutiny*). Keep the **stem/spelling** from this table so
|
|
||||||
search-and-replace stays reliable. **Nomai** is the one exception — see below.
|
|
||||||
- **Brand / title names stay in English (verbatim):** the game title **Outer
|
|
||||||
Wilds**, the space program **Outer Wilds Ventures**, and "the Outer Wilds" on
|
|
||||||
the *Planetary Chart* poster. They're the actual named brand in the game (like
|
|
||||||
a company name — you wouldn't translate "SpaceX"). Inflect the *surrounding*
|
|
||||||
Slovak, not the name: *v hre Outer Wilds*, *podporuješ Outer Wilds Ventures*.
|
|
||||||
- **Character names are kept in English** (they're geology terms — Hornfels,
|
|
||||||
Slate, Gabbro, Riebeck, Feldspar, Chert, Esker, Hal, Gossan, Marl, Tuff,
|
|
||||||
Tephra, Galena, Moraine, Rutile, Spinel, Mica, Porphy, Arkose…). Decline
|
|
||||||
where natural: *Gabbrovi*, *s Riebeckom*, *Hala*.

## 2. Peoples & beings
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| English | Slovak | Status | Notes |
|
|
||||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
||||||
| Nomai (species & individual) | **Nomai** | 🔒 | **Indeclinable** — keep spelling *Nomai* in every case (sg. = pl.). It's an alien species name; leave it as-is. |
|
|
||||||
| Hearthian(s) | **Kozubčan** (sg.), **Kozubčania** (pl.) | 🔒 | From *kozub* (→ Drevený kozub). Adj. *kozubčiansky*. |
|
|
||||||
| the Owlks *(DLC, fan term)* | **Soví človek** (sg.), **Soví ľudia** (pl.) | 🔒 | The game never names them; "owl-people". |
|
|
||||||
| Hatchling *(the player; a young Hearthian)* | **mláďa** (neuter) | 🔒 | Affectionate address from other Hearthians *and* a common noun. Neuter → **gender-neutral** (fits the genderless protagonist). Pl. *mláďatá* (*odkedy sme boli mláďatá*); address *"Jasné, mláďa!"*. |
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## 3. Celestial bodies & places

|
|
||||||
| The Attlerock (moon) | **Skalka** | 🔒 | Diminutive of *skala* — mirrors the "a little rock" pun. |
|
|
||||||
| Brittle Hollow | **Krehká dutina** | 🔒 | |
|
|
||||||
| Hollow's Lantern (moon) | **Lampáš** | 🔒 | Just **Lampáš** — do **not** form a possessive from *Krehká dutina* (never *Dutinin lampáš*). Decline the noun itself: *na Lampáši*, *k Lampášu*. |
|
|
||||||
| Hourglass Twins | **Presýpacie dvojčatá** | 🔒 | Ember + Ash together. |
|
|
||||||
| Ember Twin | **Dvojča Uhlíka** | 🔒 | Matched pair with *Dvojča Popolu* (uhlík ↔ popol). |

|
|
||||||
| The Stranger *(DLC)* | **Cudzinec** | 🔒 | |

|
|

| pilgrimage | **púť** | Solanum's journey to the Quantum Moon. |
|
|
||||||
| Nomai character names | *kept in English* | Solanum, Poke, Clary, Coleus, Melorae, Cassava, Yarrow, Pye, Conoy, Bells, … Decline the surrounding Slovak, not the name. |
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Character genders** (from English pronoun cues; drives Slovak verb/possessive
|
|
||||||
gender): **feminine** — Solanum, Poke, Clary (Poke's sister), Ramie, Pye, Filix
|
|
||||||
("her note"), Melorae ("Aunt Melorae"), Privet ("her brother"). **masculine** —
|
|
||||||
Annona, Coleus, Avens (Daz's brother), Plume (has a brother). Everyone else defaults to **masculine**
|
|
||||||
until an English cue says otherwise.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Hearthian genders (cross-checked against the Czech mod, 2026-07-20).** Outer
|
|
||||||
Wilds uses *they/them* for all Hearthians, so we defaulted **masculine** and
|
|
||||||
verified against `shippy/outer-wilds-czech` (Czech is also grammatically
|
|
||||||
gendered). Confirmed **masculine**: Chert, Esker, Gabbro, Riebeck, Feldspar,
|
|
||||||
Gneiss, Marl, Mica, Spinel, Tektite, Tuff, Hornfels, Hal, Gossan, Slate.
|
|
||||||
Corrected to **feminine** (Czech + English cues): **Arkose** (the ghost-matter
|
|
||||||
kid — *"Slyšela jsem"*), **Porphy** (the sap-wine maker — *"dolila… dávku"*),
|
|
||||||
and the **hide-and-seek kid** at idx 1627 (*"Chtěla jsem… otravná"*). **Filix**
|
|
||||||
stays **feminine** (English "her note") even though the Czech mod rendered her
|
|
||||||
masculine — English canon wins. Undetermined (no gendered self-reference either
|
|
||||||
side; left masculine): Galena, Rutile, Tephra, Moraine. (Possessive of names in *-a*: *Annonov/-a/-o*,
|
|
||||||
*Cassavov/-a/-o*, e.g. *Cassavovo Stavenisko*.) **Note:** Melorae was initially
|
|
||||||
translated masculine in batch 7, then corrected to feminine once "Aunt Melorae"
|
|
||||||
surfaced.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Nomai voice tics:** "My gratitude" (their formal thanks) → **Moja vďaka**;
|
|
||||||
"on the other appendage" (a hand-joke — Nomai have appendages, not hands) →
|
|
||||||
**Na druhej končatine**. Keep this dry, precise, courteous register for Nomai.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## 6. Resolved decisions (2026-07-20 review)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. **Planet names → translated** (not kept in English). ✅
|
|
||||||
2. **Nomai → indeclinable**, kept as-is (alien species name). ✅
|
|
||||||
3. **UI length** — not a concern: the text display supports variable lengths. ✅
|
|
||||||
4. **DLC titles** — translate in prose (*Ozveny Oka*, *Cudzinec*); keep English
|
|
||||||
only where a string functions as a store/product title. ✅ (`Echoes of the Eye`
|
|
||||||
the DLC title still `❓` in §3 for that reason.)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## 7. Still open
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **`Twilight Twin`** (Nomai dialogue, warp-tower lines) — rendered provisionally as
|
|
||||||
*Súmračné dvojča*. Unusual term; confirm meaning/rendering in review.
|
|
||||||
- **`Echoes of the Eye`** as a product/menu title — translate everywhere, or keep
|
|
||||||
English on title/store strings? (Prose already uses *Ozveny Oka*.)
|
|
||||||
- Terms that will surface in the **dialogue** and **ship log** phases and aren't
|
|
||||||
fixed yet: the Vessel interior locations, the Hanging City, the Sunless City,
|
|
||||||
the High Energy Lab, the Quantum Shrine, DLC props (Slide Reel → *Kotúč
|
|
||||||
diapozitívov*, Vision Torch → *Fakľa vízií*, the Artifact → *Artefakt*), etc.
|
|
||||||
I'll raise these as we hit each category.

# Review notes — things to check in the Slovak human review pass
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Consolidated list of wordplay, coined terms, gender guesses, and register calls
|
|
||||||
that the machine-assisted first pass flagged. Work through these with a
|
|
||||||
Slovak-speaking eye. Grouped by type; `idx` = position in the flat `<entry>`
|
|
||||||
list where useful. See [`glossary.md`](glossary.md) and [`../PLAN.md`](../PLAN.md)
|
|
||||||
for the locked terms and per-batch context.

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## 1. Puns & wordplay (hardest to get right)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| Where | English | Current SK | Note |
|
|
||||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
||||||
| Gabbro, satellite (idx ~460–466) | "Ol' Spacey" (the deep-space satellite; "Ol'" = affectionate "old") | **Vesmírko** | Nickname folded to a diminutive that carries affection via form, not oldness. Line 465 ("'Ol'' is more a term of affection") therefore explains *starký/old* while the name is *Vesmírko* — mild disconnect. Consider a nickname that keeps the "old" beat, e.g. *Starký* / *Vesmírko starký*. |
|
|
||||||
| Gabbro (idx 1353) | "you just got **Feldsparred**" | *...práve ťa **Feldsparovalo*** | Invented verb from a name; keep or rework. |
|
|
||||||
| Gabbro (idx 399 etc.) | "**Statue Island** ...Get it?" (it's the *island* with the *statue*) | **Ostrov sôch** ...Chápeš? | The "get it?" gag barely lands in SK since the wordplay is thin even in EN. OK, but confirm. |
|
|
||||||
| Chert (idx 1979) | "Keep **an eye or four** on the stars" (Hearthians have >2 eyes) | *Maj oko, aj štyri, na hviezdach* | ✅ reworded per review (was *Maj oči — pokojne aj štyri —*). |
|
|
||||||
| Player self (idx 252) | "we are the **Feldspar** of weird time stuff" | *sme **Feldsparom** čudných časových vecí* | Idiom "the X of Y"; fine but review. |
|
|
||||||
| Ghost-matter kid (idx 1702) | "All **pew pew pew**!" | *Také **pyu pyu pyu**!* | Onomatopoeia choice. |
|
|
||||||
| Feldspar note (idx 1350) | "Hornfels, **ya burnt marshmallow**" (insult) | *Hornfels, ty **pripálený marshmallow*** | Insult + the kept loanword *marshmallow* (see §2). |
|
|
||||||
| Porphy, sap wine (idx 1476, 1478, 1490) | "**The Good Stuff**"; bottles labeled "structural collapse" / "house fire" | **Tá Dobrota** (standardized; was mixed *To Pravé*/*Tá Dobrota*); „zrútenie konštrukcie" / „požiar domu" | Bar/booze humor; Porphy is **feminine** (§3). |
|
|
||||||
| Chert (idx 1994) | "On a **scale of one to dead**, I'd give it a seven or eight" | *Na škále **od jeden po smrť**...* | Keep the deadpan. |
|
|
||||||
| Feldspar jellyfish journal (idx 2181) | "Boring crashes: 0 (a personal best!)" / "entry #... 'not 1'" | translated literally | Feldspar's swagger; check voice. |
|
|
||||||
| Fishing rhymes (idx 1540, 1567, 1576) | fishing rhyme/song/tune couplets (the 3rd deliberately fails to rhyme) | rendered **loosely to keep a rhyme** | ✅ 1567 reworked to *…ech, asi mi nesedí táto **návnadička*** (rhymes *pesnička/návnadička*, keeps "bait is wrong"). 1576 intentionally drops the rhyme (matches the EN joke). |
|
|
||||||
| Nomai, Pye/Ramie (batch 5–6) | "gas / aeriform" state-of-matter puns; Pye's supernova/"gas" humor | flagged in batch notes | Physics/gas double meaning — verify it survives. |
|
|
||||||
| Nomai, Conoy (batch 6) | "lose his head" joke | flagged | Idiom. |
|
|
||||||
| Nomai, Melorae (batch 7) | "my **sedimentary** friend" (geologist pun) | flagged | Rock pun on "sedentary". |
|
|
||||||
| Nomai idiom (glossary) | "on the other **appendage**" (hand-joke; Nomai have appendages) | **Na druhej končatine** | Locked, but re-read in context. |
|
|
||||||
| Idaea (batch 11) | Sun Station "mission" humor | flagged | Deadpan Nomai humor. |
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Character names are themselves geology/rock puns** (Slate, Feldspar, Gabbro,
|
|
||||||
Chert, Gneiss, Tuff, Tephra, Porphy, Arkose, Mica, Moraine, Hornfels, …) — kept
|
|
||||||
in English by design (see glossary §1). No action unless we ever localize names.

||||||

## 2. Coined / provisional terms (no prior canon — confirm rendering)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| English | Current SK | Status |
|
|
||||||
|---|---|---|
|
|
||||||
| Ol' Spacey | **Vesmírko** | provisional (see §1) |
|
|
||||||
| Statue Island (Gabbro's coinage) | **Ostrov sôch** | provisional |
|
|
||||||
| Lunar Outpost (Esker's, on the Attlerock) | **Mesačná základňa** | provisional |
|
|
||||||
| Youngbark Crater | **Kráter Mladej kôry** | provisional (blockC) |
|
|
||||||
| Quantum Grove Crater | **Kráter Kvantového hája** | provisional (blockC) |
|
|
||||||
| The Good Stuff (sap wine) | **Tá Dobrota** | standardized this pass |
|
|
||||||
| marshmallow | **marshmallow** (kept) | decide: keep loanword or *sladká pena*? Be consistent. |
|
|
||||||
| Twilight Twin (Nomai warp-tower lines) | **Súmračné dvojča** | ❓ unusual term — confirm meaning/rendering |
|
|
||||||
| Echoes of the Eye (DLC title) | **Ozveny Oka** in prose | ❓ keep EN on store/menu title strings? |
|
|
||||||
| Distant Nomai places (batch 10) | **Súmračná galaxia**, **Čierna skala**, **Jasná iskra** | flagged |

---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## 3. Gender — cross-checked against the Czech mod ✅
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Outer Wilds uses **they/them for all Hearthians**; Slovak forces a gender, so the
|
|
||||||
first pass **defaulted masculine**. We then cross-checked every gendered
|
|
||||||
self-reference against `shippy/outer-wilds-czech` (Czech is also grammatically
|
|
||||||
gendered) — only **3** disagreements surfaced across the whole file, now resolved:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Arkose** (ghost-matter kid) → **corrected to feminine** (*Slyšela jsem*).
|
|
||||||
- **Porphy** (sap-wine maker) → **corrected to feminine** (*dolila dávku*).
|
|
||||||
- **Filix** — Czech has her masculine, but English says *"her note"*, so she
|
|
||||||
**stays feminine** (English canon wins).
|
|
||||||
- Also flipped the **hide-and-seek kid** at idx 1627 to feminine (*Chtěla
|
|
||||||
jsem… otravná*).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Confirmed masculine** (Czech agrees): Chert, Esker, Gabbro, Riebeck, Feldspar,
|
|
||||||
Gneiss, Marl, Mica, Spinel, Tektite, Tuff, Hornfels, Hal, Gossan, Slate.
|
|
||||||
**Undetermined** (no gendered self-reference either side; left masculine): Galena,
|
|
||||||
Rutile, Tephra, Moraine — worth a glance in-game but low-risk.
|
|
||||||
**Locked female (EN cues):** Solanum, Poke, Clary, Ramie, Pye, Filix, Melorae,
|
|
||||||
Privet. **Locked male:** Annona, Coleus, Avens, Plume, Idaea.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## 4. Register & length
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Nomai text walls** — keep the formal, precise, courteous voice; watch length
|
|
||||||
vs. the in-game panels (utility supports variable length, but very long walls
|
|
||||||
should stay tight).
|
|
||||||
- **Chert's panic stammer** (idx 2029–2031, 2076–2077) — rendered as
|
|
||||||
*a-a-ale / d-d-dúfam / m-možno*. Check it reads as anxious, not broken.
|
|
||||||
- **Kids' register** — playful, casual *ty*; player often *mláďa*. Make sure the
|
|
||||||
kid voices don't sound adult.
|
|
||||||
- **Player self-talk** (the "two of you" convo, idx 169–308) — both speakers are
|
|
||||||
the player, masculine, mutual *ty*; screams left verbatim.

|
||||||

## 5b. Coined this pass (audit against the game's own table, 2026-07-21)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The upstream English template (from the Localization Utility repo) is slightly out
|
|
||||||
of date versus the shipped game. Extracting the game's own English
|
|
||||||
`TranslationTable_XML` from `resources.assets` and diffing it found 17 keys we
|
|
||||||
didn't cover and 7 values still in English. New renderings to sanity-check:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| English | Current SK | Note |
|
|
||||||
|---|---|---|
|
|
||||||
| Stepping Stone District | **Štvrť nášľapných kameňov** | matches *Jaskyňa nášľapných kameňov* |
|
|
||||||
| Anglerfish Overlook District | **Štvrť vyhliadky na udicovku** | matches *Vyhliadka na udicovku* |
|
|
||||||
| Eye Shrine District | **Štvrť Svätyne Oka** | new |
|
|
||||||
| Black Hole Forge controls | **Ovládanie Kovárne čiernych dier** | was left in English |
|
|
||||||
| Divergence Meter / world line | **Merač divergencie** / **svetočiara** | Steins;Gate easter egg |
|
|
||||||
| *El Psy Congroo* | left verbatim | Steins;Gate catchphrase, not translatable |
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Two dialogue keys (`sun station 2`, `sun station 5a`) had `<pause>` in the template
|
|
||||||
where the game has `<Pause>`; both spellings are now present so either build matches.
|
|
||||||
Likewise the ship log key for Solanum entering the Eye: the template misspells
|
|
||||||
*concious*, the game says *conscious* — both are shipped.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Re-run the audit after any game update** — it is the only reliable way to catch
|
|
||||||
strings the template is missing.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## 5. Left verbatim on purpose (not for translation)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Panic-scream onomatopoeia (idx 174, 267–286), sick-noises (*Hurgh…*, idx
|
|
||||||
1666/1685), shy-kid silences (`…`), Kickstarter backer credit **names** (idx
|
|
||||||
2408–2415), and the ASCII-art easter eggs (idx 2416–2418, only embedded words
|
|
||||||
like LOADING → *NAČÍTAVA SA* were translated). Leave these as-is.
