Talk:Breath of the Wild Translations/Characters

Dutch
Breath of the wild has also been released in dutch, but the language isn't mentioned on this page. I suggest to add language as well (Derrudymeister (talk) 14:08, 1 June 2017 (UTC)).


 * Ah, thank you for pointing that out. That line was written well before the announcement of the Dutch and Russian translations and hadn't been updated yet. 16:00, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

Finetuning
Harry and Mary do not appear in as far as I am aware. Can someone confirm or deny this please? I uploaded an image for Shee Venath which can be used in place of the current, imageless file. The link for Jitan Sa'mi needs fixing as someone capitalised the 'm', linking to a incorrect, non-existent page. (It reads "Jitan Sa'Mi" not "Jitan Sa'mi") I would do these myself but this page is protected, which is fair enough.Argentum kurodil (talk) 11:37, 12 February 2020 (UTC)


 * I fixed the "Jitan Sa'mi" link, thanks for letting us know. I'm not sure about Harry and Mary, though I can look into that. YouTube is a good source to find references and info from people's playthrough videos. As for your monk images, I renamed them to proper file names, thanks for uploading! That is how they should look and refer to the File Guidelines when uploading images. They should show up in the Translations boxes now. Thanks for noticing all the small details! 12:02, 12 February 2020 (UTC)


 * The game mentions "Harry and Mary never made it back, but two of their descendants are in that stall over there" and "Sometimes a child's innocent curiosity can cause tragedies that can never be taken back", which means that they disappeared before the events of BotW, so I guess that confirms that they do not appear in the game itself. 22:49, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes. Harry and Mary were Horses who were the friends of Monkton. They are both dead, and should be removed if they're still there. However, I can't see whether they are or not. All I see is: "Lua error in Module:Term at line 63: attempt to index a nil value". Thanks.Argentum kurodil (talk) 14:02, 14 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Both characters/animals are indeed on the page and it should remain that way. They both are in-game, just without a model. MannedTooth (talk) 15:03, 14 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Will other deceased characters also make it into the page? Steen's Grandfather, Kass' Mentor, Dorian's Wife etc. I guess, however, that none of them are named, and the thus the ghost of Dorian's wife on page 102 of CaC is arbitrary. But what about Cherry, whom is the namesake of the Ancient Oven? She is named, and her bust can be seen on page 289. To what extent to people make it onto the list? Would the former dog walker of one of Misko's underling's descendant's neighbors get in? Argentum kurodil (talk) 20:08, 14 March 2020 (UTC)


 * The extent is characters who are officially named. Cherry is an AKA for the Ancient Oven, so the  will list names for   second. TriforceTony (talk) 20:19, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Problem
The page doesn't appear correctly. Zeldafan1982 (talk) 19:45, 28 March 2020 (UTC)


 * I take it that when you go to the Character page, you are greeted with "Lua error in Module:Term at line 63: attempt to index a nil value." I don't know the exact problem or how to fix it, though. Argentum kurodil (talk) 20:39, 28 March 2020 (UTC)


 * This is because the template used to make this page work requires that all terms listed are stored (this is so it can match up with the foreign names that are stored alongside the term, which automatically updates the table). You have to make sure that every page listed is stored (and cited) before this page can work as intended. TriforceTony (talk) 22:37, 28 March 2020 (UTC)


 * The page works as intended now. If you see any more issues like this, feel free to work on storing the necessary names so that they work. TriforceTony (talk) 00:17, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

New names
If I have names for characters in other languages which are not currently present, how are they implemented? This page is protected, and even if it wasn't, the format won't help; other pages also just have, so I can't add others. Argentum kurodil (talk) 14:24, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
 * A few more points: for Dutch, many character names are shared with English. I don't know how far that goes, but I can check for anomalies. And is released in Portuguese? I tried, and it was all in English. However, that was for written text, so maybe it only applies to spoken text.Argentum kurodil (talk) 10:36, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Names are added to this page by being stored on a corresponding Data page, but that is locked to everyone except people who have Curator permissions.
 * We already know which languages BotW is available in. It has been localized to 13 languages and supplementary material exists in four other languages. The list of languages is the first thing to show up on this page here, apart from a link to the hub translation page for BotW. TriforceTony (talk) 00:58, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
