English to Chinese GW translation
After spending a few days trading in International district, I think it's only fair I share my Chinese to English phrasebook.
Before I go any further, I will also say that their English is far far superior to my Chinese..... Outstanding person soldier book = Elite warrior tome Man riding bone cow = Necrid horseman minipet dagger man bash bash white = Assasin tome toothpaste items = sweets Make die dark = black dye orange fat man potion = Transmogrifier tonic WTB: Scary man with tree - never worked that one out? any ideas? and finally my personal favourite make sexy lady head gem = ruby (the mind boggles!) and of course before anyone points out the obvious, that should read Chinese to English....D'Oh |

It's seems that OP went to International and found some non-english speaking players beating up hard the language, you know... like a roundhouse kick in the face of Shakespeare.
He found that funny and now he's presenting you his 'pearls of wisdom'. |

Those translations make perfect sense in Chinese characters. They did a good job on localization. OP just translate them back from Chinese to English word by word, made them lost meaning purposely.
OP, you're trying to make fun of a language that exists about 3000+ years and supports communciations among over 1.3b of people only makes a fool of yourself. |
