Curse

Well today for craps and chuckles, I put my interface in japanese. And I was using some grog and noticed the quotes are different. Of course because of cultural reasons they can't be direct translations, buts interesting to see the differences. I can only read a small bit of japanese, and no other language. I was wondering what the grog quotes, or regular drunk quotes, are in the different languages. If anyone knows another language, I'd love for you to post some examples of the things people say when they are drunk in different languages (translated into english of course).

I'm a pirate, king of the sea. I drink till the morning and sleep in the day

Give me great stuff to think about! You are the best! Just like a friend should be!

Something about in his underwear, lol

I can't translate the red letters in the grog buff, but the white ones say,
"Yo-ho-ho! Grog is the best!
Skill:While drinking grog you will be super F'd up" (I think... something like that... lol translating is so hard... not for the newb ) I'd love it if someone who really knows japanese can translate the quotes...

( credit for the slang in the buff description)

And the japanese quotes stay on the screen for a much shorter period of time than the english ones, maybe about half of the time.

This goes to show why guild wars is one of my favorite games ever, such detail put into the game, I wonder what the other languages say... I should start reading what nick says in japanese.

I think you'll find alot of games cater to the different cultures that come with the different languages, thats not to say its not interesting, because it is. Just goes to show that alot more effort goes into the design of quests and new content than simply the function and coding.
