Translations
- <Esa_> y'know I did wonder too... why is the federation only using english?
- <Esa_> they need a babblefish :)
- <Aair> Universal translators
- <Aair> the dialog has been translated into English for you
- <Esa_> if it's universal translators, then why does chekov have an accent?
- <nicole> accents are kept.. for some.. reason..
- <Aair> Maybe he's trying to speak english?
- <Aair> And the UT is like, "WTF are you saying?"
- <Aair> It might have an easier time if he stuck to Russian
- <nicole> so... if he just spoke russian..
- <nicole> lol
- <Esa_> dood jus talk russian
- <jaschu> There's a bug in the translator.
- <jaschu> It switches the Vs and Ws.
- <jaschu> But WAIT
- <jaschu> if he WAS speaking Russian,
- <jaschu> wouldn't he look like he was in a dubbed-over kung fu movie?
- <Aair> If he was speaking Russian, yes, I think it would
- <Aair> Probably be some delay, as the UT tries to process the context of what was said, too
- <Esa_> maybe he just pissed off the UT one day, so it stopped translating for him :)
- <jaschu> "FUCK YOU CHEKOV I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A POLYGLOT DEFECT FROM LAST CENTURY!"
- <jaschu> Yeah, I can see it.
- <Esa_> the UT has a sense of humor too, you see
- <nicole> I'm sorry Chekov, I'm afraid I can't let you have proper diction
