I thought it would be interesting to see if we could translate the DarkSpace website into Korean, unfortunately, due to my total incomprehension of the Korean language, I am having to rely on online translators.

There is a serious point to this, as lkorea has a very large gaming population, and having a Korean translated site would be a step towards attracting some of the market.
Anyway, back to the topic...

So... here is my attempt.

Korean Website TRanslation

I was impressed! It looks good and almost authentically Korean, other than the obvious bits which wont translate....

Now for the real challenge, lets bring it back to english....
this is where the difficult comes in. If you cannot understand the text when translated back to english, the chances are that they will not understand it either....

Lets start with a simple body the text... the introduction...

Quote:

DarkSpace is a Massively Multiplayer Online Game that combines tactical ship to ship combat with strategy in a team orientated game. Players gain rank and prestige, which expands the ships they can command and the strategic decisions they make.



The Korean > English translation...

Quote:

The DarkSpace by the team in order inside the game toward east to send out a battle in strategy is condensed water condition sleeping online game at the vast quantity which combines the boat at tactic. Bow profit rank and the boat them the reputation which it expands and the strategy decision which it does it will can order,...



01:24:33 [*ELF*]Doran: "love those condensed water conditions.."
01:24:42 [*ELF*]Doran: "is that rain or what?"
01:25:18 [*ELF*]Doran: "seriously, that looks like the stuff i get in my junk mail"

I couldnt have put it better myself...

this is going to require a lot of work, unless we have some Korean speakers around... :-9

The latest news posting:-

Quote:

Due to a UPS problem, one of our primary servers went down this morning. The time and date on this server got reset to an incorrect value. This caused the subscription system to email many players informing them that their subscription had ended.

We have already addressed the incorrect date on the server; feel assured that any billing issues will be resolved immediately.



Korean> English

Quote:

Before cruelty lower part of the this morning when the expiration of time becomes in grudge of all the member system problem and our 1st server it went. In this server the hour and date got a reset in the value which is inaccurate. Their contribution ended, this the contributory system it informed them and it gave and the many bow with this mail it sent and became the cause which it gets up. We lectured already the date when it is inaccurate in server; That the what kind of billing problem point will be decided immediately, the impression believed firmly.



I hope this is a least a little entertaining...

Use a human translator

The wording was probably slightly better as English>Korean than English>Korean>English, so maybe the Korean version isn't that bad...

But then again...

Maybe it's completely unintelligible
