Czech language in game

[davidlukes]

So I have to say the translation is not very good. At least that's ok speaking Czech. But at least something. And in Prague in 2029 it looks interesting too.

[Hit. (" ,)]

They did an incredibly lazy and cheap work and admitted using Google translator for the Czech expressions. It definitely breaks the immersion for a native Czech speaker.

[Teo]

Yeah? And you are to judge that with that broken English?

[Purity+Control<]

Ridiculous I know

[Clown Reemus]

At least the people who do know Czech got paid fairly, spoken Czech is decent. The rest of the game, well...

[davidlukes]

I think that if he told anyone he would help with the translation. Not much.
If you need to know so they do Mafia 3 Czechs and will be spoken in English for us and subtitles. Also, it could do vice versa, but did not.

Yeah, but there are also some cases of supposedly czech people, that are voiced by english actors. And when they try to say something in czech it just sounds awkard(e.g. "překážka").

Yes them trying to say anything but English was plain disgusting. VAKLAV!!!!

From the little I saw so far the spoken Czech is spoken well but sometimes placed awkwardly. Like they had native speakers record a bunch of lines and then they were placed in the game by non Czech speaking people.

It's kinda weird since it is supposed to be a foreign language for most players and just add local flavor and for that purpose it works well enough I guess.

Dunno nothing about czech language, but Tars' endline when he probaly tells you to shove off sounds coo!

There's also some russian in there
P.S. does "uyobok" exists in czech and means insult btw?

[Violent Beetle]

Speaking about Russian, I'm puzzled at why did they choose "uyobok" as a slur for Augs? It's just a generic insult. That's a weird appropriation.

Well in russian it applies to:
1) a man that annoys you and makes you want to hit him
2) a man that did something, that you can't forgive, and he deserves brutal punishment
3) idiot
(c) google

but personally I didn't know this meaning, it's just an insult for me, ~medium rude

They are just called "Rusky" here. Around the rest of the world I assume.
