more english descriptions for items/ants?

Beitragvon badman » 12. Feb 2008 03:36

I know we English are arrogant enough to think everyone should speak our language, but there's dozens of items with no English description in the shop and the ones with a description sometimes make little sense. I cannot speak german so I use online translators which can be hilarious, but also quite baffling.

Maybe someone out there would be happy to translate? it would benefit everyone!

Hello,

I'm Dutch and speak a little bit English and German.
I think i will be able to translate "most of" the items at the shop. But I'm short on time at the moment :( . When i've got time i can translate the items :)
I'll contact antstore. ;) because it would be nice if the translated items where posted on the antstore shop.
If some one of you English guys can check my translation.

yep, me to, if you need some translation i'm glad to help, but like you said, maybe it is easier if all the descriptions where also in English language. They are working on that. Mean while, we all can help. ;)

@ corydoras: damn English, German and Polish... I'm glad i can speak a bit of Dutch. ;)
