Death Run - Death Messages

Affected Language:
Brazilian Portuguese

Affected Service (Game name, hub, or menu):
Death Run - Death selection in chat and Death Trap Teleporter

Affected Text:

  1. Você está na equipe inimiga
  2. Escolha uma armadilha a ser transportada diretamente para

Suggested Text:

  1. Você é uma Morte
  2. Escolha uma armadilha para ser teleportado diretamente para ela

Explanation of Issue:

  1. The translation, besides not making sense, is not the correct translation of the original sentence:
  • It is meaning ‘‘you are on the enemy team’’, which doesn’t make much sense since, if your goal is to win on the team you’re on, that’s not your enemy team :sob:
  • The original phrase is to say that you are a Death, not that you are on a team (ally or enemy). The suggested translation fixes this and puts the name of the Function correctly: Death → Morte
  1. The current translation is misspelled in a way that gives a completely different meaning.
  • In the current translation, the preposition ‘a’ next to ‘armadilha’ and the word ‘para’ being at the end implies that what will be moved is a chosen trap and not the player - it is understood that you are choosing a trap so that it can be transported somewhere (while the original text implies that you are choosing a trap and are going to be transported to it).
  • The suggested translation changes the original English sentence a little (not much), but it is the smallest possible way to express, grammatically and verbally, the original meaning of the sentence, without changing much of it - (‘‘Choose a trap to be teleported directly to it’’)
