[Message mainly for the Czech and Slovak community]
INTRODUCTION AND EXPLANATION
For the past few months, I have been testing and trying various things with ChatGPT and the DeepL translator. It's time to gradually convert all translations that were translated using Google to a higher quality translation. Those of you who have played any modifications based on Google translation know what kind of errors occur, often quite nonsensical things like mangled names of NPC characters and often bizarre sentences. Over the last few months, I have had many opportunities to compare the quality of the DeepL translator with ChatGPT, through which I translate various updates that are here on the website, and I must say that there is a difference, and that’s why I choose ChatGPT. Through ChatGPT, I want to go through all possible modifications, primarily into Czech, but later also some mods that I have translated into English, as they were not available for download anywhere on the internet.
Of course, it is necessary to realize that ChatGPT is not error-free either; it will also make mistakes with names that are specific to the game Gothic and are not used in everyday language, such as monsters (like "mrchožrout" or "krysokrt"). It will still translate these things poorly, but the overall construction of sentences will be much better, so you won’t have to decipher what the NPC wanted to convey. Additionally, ChatGPT does not mangle the names of NPC characters like Google does.
WHEN?
I will probably start working on this from next month. It will be necessary to purchase the premium version (about 24 USD per month) to speed things up, and I will gradually translate all modifications and upload new versions to the website (I will inform you about each one separately, so you will have an overview). I will, of course, start with great modifications like Legend of Ahssun, Dark Saga, Dirty Swamp, etc.
If we eventually want to refine these modifications into fully manual Czech with the team, it will be more about corrections than translations, as it will be based on the ChatGPT translation.
WARNING!
It is important to download all Czech translations directly from the website! As you may know, some translations are also on Steam; however, I do not upload them there, nor does anyone from the Myrtana.net team, but a modder named D36, who uploads various modifications in different languages there. It is very likely that these old versions will remain there, and the ChatGPT translations will be ONLY ON THE MYRTANA.NET WEBSITE! I know this may be confusing, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Unless D36 decides to update all the Czech translations he has uploaded, everything will remain in Google translation.
