User talk:Gaile Gray/Guild Wars Text issues

Process Notes
I'm going to use a check mark when I've passed along the issue to the Writing Team. Generally, when I pass something along, it's included in the next live build, so you can usually see the corrections in place within a week. --Gaile 06:17, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I've now created an archive for resolved issues. Once somone can confirm that an issue has been corrected in the game the issue can be moved to the currently active archive. Once the first archive gets large enough we can start a second one. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 11:47, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * That's a great idea, Gem, and thank you for doing that! --Gaile [[Image:User gaile_2.png| ]] 06:34, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

I added a resolved parameter to your template that should make the Yes check show up in the title correctly, you can add |resolved=true in to the template call and it should work automagically. --Tankity Tank 12:07, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes Manual: Minor Error (Krait)
We have discovered that one paragraph in the Guild Wars: Eye of the North manual has a print error. Back in the early days of design, the team held discussions about where the krait would "live." At first, the designers considered having the krait based in in the Charr homeland. However, later on, the team decided to move the kraits' spawn sites to the Tarnished Coast. Somehow, the print manual contains an accurate first phrase about the krait residing along the Tarnished Coast, but then contains older text that conflicts with that text.

We have updated the PDF on the website -- it is now accurate. However, we cannot amend the print copy, and are providing the corrected text for your convenience:


 * Krait
 * Found along the Tarnished Coast, the Krait rival even the Charr for viciousness and cruel ingenuity. These semi-intelligent creatures are vicious and xenophobic, attacking all other species on sight. Little is known about the elusive krait, but a few witnesses describe an army of slithering, serpentine warriors that seem able to transform in the middle of battle into numerous—and much more dangerous—forms. The reports are incomplete at best, as survivors of these encounters are often too hysterical to recall any salient details. --Gaile [[Image:User gaile_2.png| ]] 03:30, 24 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I noticed this and pointed it out at Talk:Krait. I'm glad to see its been fixed. --- Raptors

Yes Nika Typo
Sorry to clutter your talk page even more Gaile, but just fyi, it appears Nika has a typo in the Norn fighting tourny when she uses the word "heroe". Idk if thats intentional, but I thought I'd point that out. - elviondale  (tahlk) 05:48, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * She could just be using a sort of "Old English"... any insight, Gaile? -- Jioruji Derako.> 07:56, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I've passed that to the writing team. I wonder if there should be a GWW page for text errors. We don't have a lot of them, but a place for everything, and everything in its place? *ponder* --Gaile [[Image:User gaile_2.png| ]] 23:12, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's time to set up such a page, and I hope this works. (Please, wiki angels, feel free to amend if I've done this incorrectly!) --Gaile [[Image:User gaile_2.png| ]] 05:42, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * This hasn't been fixed as of 15th September. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 15:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Found the offending string and submitted the correction for integration. Will reflect on the live server in a future build. Bobby Stein 01:58, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Localisation Issues
Is there a somewhere a page to collect localisation issues, typos and other language specific errors? I stumbled over a few in the German version. --Fledermaus 15:04, 7 September 2007 (MEST)
 * There's the German translation task force specifically for German, but I do not recall pages for any other languages. — [[Image:User_Kyrasantae_Fin_sig.gif]] kyrasantae  13:26, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, we do not currently have pages for languages other than English, but I know that the Support Teams welcome input about any localization issues via the support interface. Some languages cannot be selected, such as Polish and Russian. Please feel free to send localization comments, input, and suggestions in those languages to the English-language address. Thank you. --Gaile [[Image:User gaile_2.png| ]] 19:37, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Jason Yu from our localization department is now handling text bugs for non-English versions of Guild Wars. Head over to his page to submit anything you find. Thanks. Bobby Stein 22:49, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Spanish Translation Errors
I have a little collection of Spanish Translation errors, could you check them? They are here: User:DacrioS.PSombra/Contributions. Thanks. DacrioS.PSombra 09:02, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I will collect those comments and refer them to our localization team. Gracias! --Gaile [[Image:User gaile_2.png| ]] 19:39, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, there. Bobby Stein, one of the members of our writing team, has offered to be point of contact for text issues. I would like to ask that you please post directly on our new text bug page and we'll get those changes made and into the game. I've ported over all the existing but non-marked reports, and Bobby will likely be using the "check mark" system that I've been using on the new page.

Thanks to everyone for sending over those bugs, large and small, new and old! :) -- Gaile 02:34, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
