What are Aleo and Sparr actually saying?
When you use Insult/Tale Worth Telling. Anyone kind enough to translate?

We'll need a scandinavian for that... I'm curious as well!

Also in the very first battle of BS1 the Skalfing Cheiftan said a pretty long line as well.

That Insult must have some incredibly potent words to stop Bolverk in his tracks :P

You mean Aleo doesn't know what Aleo said? :)

If it works, you don't have to understand it! Something like computers :steammocking:

Good one! I go searching for the sound files in BS1 just to try to understand what the chieftain was saying. No success (i found the file, but cant' understand a single word).

By the way, it took me about TEN YEARS to figure out what was saying the barbarian chief in the first minutes of "The Gladiator Movie".

"IR SEID VERFLUCHTE HUNDE!" (Yo're cursed dogs!)

DAMNED CURIOSITY! It will kill me, a day or another.

Could you enlighten me on where the sound assets are located?

Thanks for the tip!

Here's the folder[drive.google.com] with all the relevant vocals if anyone wants to have a go at it. You could use the format below to organize the translations:

  1. [chieftain_threaten_01.mp3] (transcript) --> (translation)
  2. [Skald_Aleo_Ability2_tale_w_telling_icelandic_clearer_02.mp3] -->
  3. [Skald_Aleo_Ability2_tale_w_telling_icelandic_clearer_03.mp3] -->
  4. [Skald_Aleo_Ability2_tale_w_telling_icelandic_clearer_04.mp3] -->
  5. [Skald_Aleo_Ability2_tale_w_telling_icelandic_clearer_05.mp3] -->
  6. [Skald_Aleo_Ability2_tale_w_telling_icelandic_clearer_06.mp3] -->

We got an Icelander in our community. Gonna get him listen to this and tell us what he can. Thanks for "packing" them, Nafeij!

Any updates?

The day that The Banner Saga Chronicles 7: The Sun just Moved will be released and OF COURSE set in southern Italy, count on me for insults translation.
Aleonymous Oct 18, 2016 @ 1:00pm 
He hasn't responded to my msg yet... I'll let him have a couple more days and re-bother him.

Knowing Norwegian I can only pick up a few key words here and there, but not enough to know what they're talking about. Also I haven't played the second game so there's a lack of context. But I had no idea it was actually Icelandic. That's pretty cool! It resembles old Norse more than any other Scandinavian language these days and Iceland itself has made an effort not to simply adopt foreign words but to make their own. Electricity comes from the words "amber" and "light" if I'm not mistaken.

TÖLVULEIKJAFRASAR

HVATNINGAR

"Today we fight for the glory of our clans!"
Í dag skal varinn heiður ætta vorra.

"Fear nothing but cowardice!"
Óttist ekkert nema hugleysið.

"Your lovers are watching - impress them or I will!"
Unnustur ykkar horfa á – heillið þær, annars geri ég það.
eða Heillið unnustur ykkar – annars geri ég það.

"Our courage here will be sewn into our Banner!"
Hver dáð vor hér mun saumuð í vorn fána!

"The strength of a raging fire, the force of a great storm!"
Styrkur eldsins ólma, afl hins óða storms!

"Become your own god in battle!"
Vertu þinn eigin guð í orrustu!

MÓÐGANIR

"You're a spineless, pathetic foe!"
Þú ert merglaus, vesæll fjandi.

"I'll leave you wallowing in freakish misery forever."
Ég læt þig dúsa, skrípi, í eigin eymd um eilífð.

"You'll never be the man your mother is!"
Þú verður aldrei hálfur maður á mömmu þína.

"Do you know how many like you I've killed?"
Veistu hve marga eins og þig ég hef drepið?

"Your role in this world ends today!"
Þitt hlutverk hér á jörð fær enda í dag!

"The gods would've been ashamed of you."
Guðirnir hefðu skammast sín fyrir þig.
