Ally is correct

(Berzerkr) #22

Thank you. :slight_smile:

Yeah, Ally would be the correct term. However, when you say this sentence:

“The Allies have detected our ally”

It sounds a little dorky.

Confederate, or comrade will work well too, so I would just expand the sentence with a little more clarity:

“The Allies have detected our comrade, the Legion of Nod, and attacked!”

And I guess Comrade is also used in German as “Kamerad”. But you would know better than me about that. In any event, You can use the German version and not worry about any confusion about what you meant - particularly since you are defining the objectives from the German point of view.

English inherits a lot of words and phrases for other languages and we sometimes forget the origin of them. I used to be in the Army in Germany a long time ago. A german friend of mine was really surprised when used the terms “gesundheit” and “dummkopf”. He thought someone local had taught them to me, but they were just common things I learned as a kid. Probably from watching Bugs Bunny cartoons.

Yes, for this case I used “Auxiliary” for the ally of the axis. Sounded better to me.

You’re right, “Kamerad” means “Comrade”. Seems to me that your suggestion to use the german word is the best solution for this case.

“The Allies have detected our Kameraden, the brotherhood of NOD, and attacked!”

“Kameraden” means “Comrades”, or would “Kamerads” be better to read for non-german speakers?

Don’t knewed that in the US-version of Bugs Bunny german words was used. Watched the cartonns as kid, too, but on TV we only have the synchronized version.

Dankeschön! :smiley:

@ Sternschubser:

Finally, the correct english translation:

// Set scenario information
wm_mapdescription allied	"A secret brotherhood of NOD supports the Axis. Destroy their new weapon!"
wm_mapdescription axis	"The Allies have detected our Kameraden, the brotherhood of NOD, and attacked! Secure our new secret weapon!"
wm_mapdescription neutral	"The brotherhood of NOD supports the Axis with a new weapon."

// Axis Objective Descriptions
wm_objective_axis_desc 1	"Primary Objective:**Prevent the Allies from destroying the generator."
wm_objective_axis_desc 2	"Primary Objective:**Capture the forward flag."
wm_objective_axis_desc 3	"Primary Objective:**Defend the windows."
wm_objective_axis_desc 4	"Primary Objective:**Construct the command post."
wm_objective_axis_desc 5	"Primary Objective:**Protect the rocket fuel tanks."

// Allied Objective Descriptions
wm_objective_allied_desc 1	"Primary Objective:**Destroy the generator!"
wm_objective_allied_desc 2	"Primary Objective:**Capture the flag."
wm_objective_allied_desc 3	"Primary Objective:**Breach through the windows."
wm_objective_allied_desc 4	"Primary Objective:**Construct the command post."
wm_objective_allied_desc 5	"Primary Objective:**Dynamite the fuel tanks to destroy the rocket."

Yeah, I would use Kameraden as well. I believe from your post that this would be the correct form. Anyone with half a brain will understand that it is the german spelling for Comrade. Some games like MoHaa, don’t translate the German language with audio. They just use subtitles. So the german version will be quite familiar to anyone playing ET.

Yes. Well, a lot of the Bugs Bunny Cartoons date back to the 1940’s. And many of those were used as propaganda pieces during the war. Govt had to make sure to develop patriotrism and a hatred for Hitler as well as the Japanese in all the little kids during their Saturday Matinee.

in the 40’s and 50’s cartoons weren’t for kids, all media was pretty much “family safe”
