you know what would be even better? to finally get a native speaking SS2 veteran to point a finger at the one translation that sucks the least.

because I have an inkling we are hosting some truly awful stuff here.

A new (joke?) translation? "не большие забавные косяки озвучки System Shock 2 =))".

I like the voices, as they seem to be a bit more lively then the rather monotonous older translations. But I don't understand why they had to add reverb to everything. And if they get rid of the outtakes and giggles, maybe this could be good??

not sure which one is this:

but I give it four batons wrapped in barbed wire being rammed into your ears out of five. fondly reminds me of the socialist era bootleg kung-fu movies with bad german voiceovers.

I guess it's better than nothing if you absolutely can't understand EN or DE, but I agree with Valet - they are not/don't sound exactly nice. anyway, pretty sure if he helps BroFox out, they can put together a translation pack that would be at least accurate, if nothing else.

I told him about this message. He said that he will text you on Discord channel

we really should find someone who could quality check all these translations and point a finger at the least cringy one.

on a related note, looks like Valet's account has expired.

and apparently, there is a translation out there made with SCP in mind, as I'm pretty sure the unpowered power armor icon is not part of the vanilla resources.

Russian subtitles

@System
There are no strings just audio. And really? This is supposed to be the best translation there is? Obviously can't judge the accuracy of the translation.
But; midwife is terrible, grunts sounds like robots, and the Shodan voice: really? REALLY??
Only two voices for every character, no background/ambient noise like in the original but a lot of reverb making everything sound like recorded through a tin can.
Of course I appreciate the effort that was needed to record this, but is that all they could come up with? If I was to release a voiced translation for a game I would make sure that it matches the style and atmosphere of the original as close as humanly possible. I don'te see that here. I'm sorry.
I like the bitchingbetty though

Do you happen to have the Fargus (Fagus?) version as well. It seems to have decent voice acting with some effect in.

Maybe we can get a satisfying translation by combining Fargus, Webcall and 7 Wolf.

And are there other translations we are not aware of? Maybe you could list them all?

Does someone have a clean version?

also;so yeah, there needs to be a clear consensus about what is what before we do anything.

О вкусах не спорят
Tastes differ

I think System took the "stitch together" idea a bit too literally with that mediafire download. shydro would indicate some Secmod files?

also;

the left one is russian version, released by 7Wolf (the worst translation ever!). CD in the middle - the best russian version - by Fargus.

so yeah, there needs to be a clear consensus about what is what before we do anything.

perhaps one complete translation could be stitched together from everything that's currently available? also, did someone actually download that DarkFate translation Aquilifer posted? and is it any good?

It is really revolting translation, I was trying to forget ugly and inappropriate voices of drunk students last weeks but I couldn't.  For almighty God sake,  Kolya, remove this ....

Understood. However this is the closest to a complete Russian translation that we have. And I don't think it's the job of not-russian-speaking shock fans to fix it. I'd love to see a  good translation that more than one Russian agrees on, but that's up to the Russian fans to find, create or cobble together.

so.. which one is the most usable again?

Мой любимый перевод "7 Wolf" 

SS2 Russian translation by 7 Wolf Studio love

Valet, can you quality check this please?

А ты кто такой? Не в свои ворота лезешь, пончик.

I guess you better close this topic   

Hello Yorbihtter. If you can provide a better translation, please do so. Thanks.

Авторы - петухи. Русификация на ужаснейшем уровне - как будто играю в San Andreas с пиратским переводом. Всё переведено ужасно [например - Wrench (от англ. - гаечный ключ) переводят как искажение], прочтение текстов выполнено на ужаснейшем уровне: без интонации, без какой-либо аккуратности, всё это в спешке и всё заляпано довольно громкими и мешающими звуковыми эффектами из-за которых речь крайне невнятная, возникает ощущение что авторам было на столько пофиг, что они ели прямо во время озвучки.

Русификация отвратна, хотя и постарались перевести всё до последнего, но сделали это крайне некачественно. И если бы был ещё какой-нибудь русификатор который бы не конфликтовал с SS2Tool, всё бы было куда лучше...

The most up to date and accurate RU translation at the moment should be the BroFox86 SS2-RUS pack.


Attached is an unofficial Russian translation by Webcall Studio, repacked as a mod. It includes videos, sounds, graphics, strings and fonts. Load with top priority in Blue Mod Manager. Other translations are linked in the posts below, feel free to try them out.

Notes:
- all pirated translations currently available are pretty bad (both textwise, textures and sound)
- one guy under the project DarkFate created his own version of russian text strings based on fargus translation (fargus was a famous pirate localiser in the past)
- another guy BroFox86 adapted this translation making it a mod. he combined voices from the two pirate localisations (both are awful), added some new lines from SCP (although some are still missing), replaced some textures in mdf and removed all russian world textures, because they were really bad and glitchy. also he hardcoded subtitles into video cutscenes.
