Incorrect Translations for Age of Empires IV the Sultans Ascend DLC

This word, KEEP, is translated into 大型箭塔 in AOE 4, which means “Great Arrow Tower” in Chinese.

In AOE 2, “Keep” is in Tower Line (Watch Tower → Guard Tower → Keep). “Keep” is upgraded from Guard Tower and Watch Tower, and becomes more stronger, but at least it still looks like a tower. So yes, that makes sense if we called it “大型箭塔” in AOE 2.

However, in AOE 4, the concept of “Castle” is replaced by “Keep”. Therefore, under this circumstance, we should translate “Keep” into “城堡” (it means castle in Chinese) rather than “大型箭塔”.

And yes, I know some people may say there are some differences between Keep and Castle in the real world. So, in my opinion, we can translate it to “碉堡”, we didn’t use that word in AOE series before. It’s stronger than a tower, of course, and it looks like a castle, but it’s more focused on defense purposes.

The translation of Monastery in AOE 4 is 修道院, and we can see this translation in AOE 2 also. But actually, Chinese speakers prefer to use “寺廟” (it means temple) to describe Buddhist buildings. And 修道院 is always mentioned as a Christian place, aka church.

There are 5 civs that have “Monastery” as their religious buildings in AOE 4 now. They’re English, French, HRE, Rus, and Chinese. As you can see, only Chinese is not belong to Christian culture. That seems a little bit weird, right?

Just like the Abbasid, Ottomans, Delhi Sultanate, and Malians, they have “Mosque” as their religious buildings. So, I think there is no reason that we don’t put “Temple” (寺廟) into the game to show Buddhist culture. And It’s not only for Chinese, it also can be used by Japanese in the coming DLC…and maybe Korean or Vietnamese civilizations in the future.

By the way, the Chinese Landmark, “Spirit Way”, is translated to “神道” in Chinese. And I have to say that “神道” (Shintō, しんとう) sounds like very Japanese-style. It’s Japan’s native belief system.

According to AOE 4 Fandom, Spirit Way is inspired by the Qianling Mausoleum (陝西乾陵,唐高宗與武則天之墓) which was built in the Tang Dynasty. I’m not sure why you guys wanna pick up this place as a landmark, but nothing wrong. Haha. I think “皇陵” is a good option (皇陵 means Royal Mausoleum), better than “神道”.

just one. 和尚 is more like daily talk, 僧侣 is correct written language. maybe like 大夫 and 医生/医师.

The translation is literally wrong.

The campaign’s subtitles and narration do not match, and the descriptions of the civilization and campaign contents are also inconsistent, and there are many awkward parts. (There are so many problems with subtitles that I can’t attach them all to this forum.)

It is an RTS game that is gaining attention again in Korea, but unless the localization issue is resolved, it is unlikely to receive attention again.

Seriously, I hope get feedback from Koreans.

Localized Chinese translation is also a bunch of errors, and I don’t understand why Microsoft has to collaborate with such an amateur and irresponsible translation team.

Blockhouse in AOE3…

Bug Type: Gamebreaking for begginers
When was the bug introduced: With the Sultans Ascend expansion

Spanish tooltip texts on the new sultans ascend expansion are bugged, every sentence, word or text that comes after writing the (%) character gets cut off and wont be rendered.

THIS MAKES SOME SENTENCES LOOK INCOMPLETE OR WEIRD, for example : it says that order of the dragon grants 30.

30 what?

This happens for all the new civs on the sultans ascend, its a bummer honestly.

Here, an example (look at the civ bonus and see how everything else that should be there, it isnt there)
(OOTD HAS MORE THAN ONE CIV BONUS, it JUST GETS CUT OFF BY THE (%) CHARACTER)

Compared to the english OOTD info:

Floating Gate should be translated into “水上鸟居”,in Japanese kanji its name is “水上鳥居”

Apparently they used Google Translate.

托总好啊,其实keep翻译成坞堡我感觉更合适一些

Japanese localization is bit terrible. I don’t blame you for using machine translation. But, I want to point out three rules which should be followed.

First, the notation should be unified: Use the same terms in unit names, their descriptions and technology trees. Unit names, Tech names, and Ability names vary from sentence to sentence. For example, despite Order of the Dragon having 9 infantry or cavalry units, 18 variations of their names appear in its tech tree. (They change even when they are upgraded.)

Second, translators should understand what the game is about; there is no way something can be translated if the translator don’t know what it is. For example, the description of Bazaar(Ayyubids’ Trade Wing) in English is…
“Every three minutes a trade caravan arrives with a random selection of four favorable exchanges of resources and units.
The quality of these trades is permanently set depending on the Age at which the Trade Wing is constructed. Using the Trade Wing to enter a later age provides more lucrative trades.”
And the Japanese translation is something means…
“Every three minutes a trading party arrives with four random resources and a random assortment of units.
The quality of trades is permanently set along with the era in which the trade building was constructed. Upon completion, the further we move into the next era, the more valuable the trade will be.”
Translation can’t be always done literally. So, the translator has to “twist” the text according the intension somehow. I doubt the translator knew what this wing can do actually.

Third, it may be difficult, but it should be test played to check if it is complete. There is no description for Byzantines’ Golden Horn Tower Landmark in Japanese. (There is a only single word of “資源”(resources))

There are bunch of mistranslations. I made a list below. I made this list by asking a discord Japanese AOE4 community. This list is not covered all of them. So I want the localization team to check the rest of description for using wrong terms.

I’m not very good at using HTML so sorry for making it hard to see.

Thank you.

BTW, Towara, the Japanese agriculture tech must be a misspell. (Japanese tech Towara is misspelt?)

【About the Hero namesジャンヌ・ダルクの職業】

However, there were a criticism because it sounds too different from other names and having nothing to do with 軍兵(Men-at-Arms). I think 女軍兵 may work.
コメント:Woman-at-Armsの訳である「武装した女」はMen-at-Armsを想起する訳でないという点で誤訳ですが、今まで農民だったジャンヌが戦士となったのだと言うストーリーを感じて気に入っています。Men-at-Armsを想起させるなら「女軍兵」とか

Order of the Dragonドラゴン騎士団

Gilded Crossbowman装飾弩兵→竜弩兵

Gilded Horseman金めっき騎乗兵、装飾騎乗兵→竜騎乗兵

Gilded Knight装飾騎士→竜騎士

Comment: The translation of Gilded is mixed, with three different translations: 金めっき, 装飾 and 竜. A same unit has a different name before and after the upgrade! Furthermore, even the description of the technology and the description in the technology tree are shifting.
金めっきand 装飾 are not appropriate, as they have the nuance of ‘ostentatious decoration’.
If the literal meaning of Gilded should be protected, there are 金色 or 金箔, if not, 竜(dragon) is the coolest translation, imao.
コメント:Gildedの訳がまちまちで、「金めっき」「装飾」「竜」という3つの訳が入り混じってます。同じユニットでもアップグレード前後で名前が変わっています!更にテクノロジーの説明や、テクノロジー系統木での説明ですら表記ゆれしています。ユニットをかさ増ししたいのでなければ表記を統一すべきです。
「金めっき」や「装飾」は「うわべだけ飾っている」というニュアンスがあって適当ではありません。
