Portuguese: Grammatical Discord Message Error

Affected Language:
Which language does this issue affect?

Portuguese

Affected Service (Game name, hub, or menu):
Where is the affected text?

Chat

Affected Text:
Please type the text, exactly as it appears in-game

Entre em nosso servidor do Discord: (it continues)

Suggested Text:
Please type your suggested correction/improvement

Junte-se ao nosso servidor Discord: (it continues)

Explanation of Issue:
What is wrong with the text, and why would your suggested improvement be better?

The current translation reads “Enter in our Discord server …” to me and many other fluent Portuguese speakers. This phrase can be misconstrued in multiple ways. To name one small example, in the case that a user may be looking for info related to Hive’s discord, they may type in “our Discord sever” which obviously would not work.

After checking what the phrase is met to say (Join our Discord server) using the English Hive translation. A grammatically correct and understandable translation would be “Junte-se ao nosso servidor Discord …” Other than those few words, everything in the Discord message chat line looks well translated. It’s small translation issues like these that make a big difference when corrections are implemented.

Thank you your time and consideration!

Hey there,

Thanks for submitting a translation suggestion.

After discussing this with our translators, we have concluded that the current text is fine as it is, and doesn’t need to be changed, as it is a common way to invite someone to join a specific Discord server.

The phrase is clear and would be easily understood by Portuguese speakers, particularly those familiar with online communities and platforms like Discord.

Have a great day!
