SS2 Russian translations

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

О вкусах не спорят
Tastes differ

they do, but that doesn't apply here - if a translation is bad/inaccurate, then it's just bad/inaccurate. and while you might find the notion of a shotgun hybrid with two loose anuses hilarious, such things have no place in a serious translation project(s).

Does someone have a clean version?

SS2 Russian translation by 7 Wolf Studio download

also, updated the CZ translation while at it - will fit the latest SCP properly now, plus added the translated textures and icons from the original two anus translation as a separate download, all gunk removed.

btw, that means I had to plow through some 2k+ files. why am I doing this to myself.

@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?

unn_atropos смешивать озвучку нет смысла, лучше отдельно озвучки разделить на выбор, и все проблемы решены.

I'm kind of confused here - anyone who has basic english reading skills and has played the original game once or twice must be able to assess the quality level of a translation (assuming he's fluent or a native) right away, just like when I loaded the original CZ translation and after three minutes I was going full "dude just NO".

so it should be pretty easy to see which one is the most accurate.

[6648cc5310ea6voodoo47]

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.

Hey guys! Really good translate (Fargus) + corrections: https://github.com/BroFox86/ss2-rus

[6648cc5311094voodoo47]

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.

[6648cc53111e7Kolya]

Yeah, a while ago. I'm sure he'll come back and reclaim it eventually.

[6648cc53112c3fascinate4]

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

[6648cc53113d2voodoo47]

talked to Valet, and it seems like the BroFox86/ss2-rus pack is indeed the most accurate and up to date translation - added to the first post.

[6648cc5311583voodoo47]

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.

[6648cc53116dbeasy peasy]

Fargus (on level 1C) in fact, this translation tried to make quality and largely succeeded! (not a joke) Yes, of course he does not claim to be the original, but believe me it is better than this nobody will. It is clear that you are not accustomed to other voices, but it is very close even in intonation and meaning. At the time, it's really good. There are really poor quality translations and it's not him.

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??

[6648cc5311a17Galeb_G4M]

Yeah, it's definitely better than the previous ones! But in any case, it's great to have Russian translations of the game, they may look and sound amateurish, but it beats not having any translation at all for those who don't speak English.

[6648cc5311b17voodoo47]

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.
