Hey! Is this still in the works? Signing up now.

I've got an emai from a Chinese person who would like to translate the dictionary. Anyone know who to contact about that? Who is in charge at the moment, and is the dictionary being maintained?

I kind of just want to apologise. When I first made this dictionary, I based it off the LN dictionary. When I made that, I based it off a 50-word list I did for an Old English assignment for uni. That was four years ago, before I had learned much about computers - I didn't know any programming languages at the time, and wrote the thing in LaTeX. I would do everything differently now.

Sorry that you guys are still dealing with this. I agree, it needs to be updated.

Just felt like I should say that. :/

I don't have much time for content managing, or for learning the languages (hell, I don't even remember the last time I posted here). But I'd be more than happy to make a site for dothraki and Valyrian to land on. I've been meaning to redo Dothraki.org's front page for a while, anyway.

That happens. Well, keep the code coming if you wish, these already work.

I translated all of Facebook into Valyrian. Check it out.

Thanks, Qvaak!

Well, it certainly works.  Now we just need to keep populating it. There's some stuff we can do down the line, like make it work on some of the forms and the sidebar, but that involves actually, you know, coding, and I haven't been able to get to that myself yet. Anyone else is welcome too, of course.

Keep them coming! The more we get, the more we can use it.

Well, the cool thing is that not all of these have to be translated at once. If you have ten minutes, have fun, and eventually we'll get there. That's the approach we're taking with Na'vi, and it's working so far. Just give what time you have. Numbers, for instance, should go fairly quick. Like, ideally, this project isn't huge at all. I use the Na'vi one already, even though half of it works and half of it doesn't.

This is just to say that I've re-evaluated the amount of time I have for this. I won't be able to help translation (largely because I don't know the language), but I'll keep it on my github in case anyone wants to help out, or if anyone wants to fork it and host it themselves.

[The File]

New community project!

This will put a lot of your Facebook text from English into Dothraki (once it is translated). It works by just pasting over the stuff using Javascript, and not by using an API or the Facebook translators bench. In essence, this is much quicker, easier, and glitchy. This script is also being developed for the Na'vi community (as well as for other, real language communities, actually, but I'm not connected to those).
==================================================================
The File

Dothraki Facebook

I did not create this. Neskie Manuel did originally, and then Kevin Scannell pointed it out on a list I follow, and I downloaded Neskie's old code. I wish I could take credit, but I can't. However, I do hope to improve the code if I can. I did do most of the Na'vi translations, but that doesn't really matter here, does it?

This thing is super-beta. It's very iffy in places, and it doesn't work for everything. BUT it works for some things, and I think we can get the rest going, I hope. What's important is that if you know JS, get in touch. I am going to keep all of the code in the dedicated github, along with the Na'vi stuff. PM me if you want push/pull access. If you don't know JS, but know Dothraki: post translations below, or join the Git if you want to post them directly.

If you download and use it, let me know! Post here. Please. It'll be good to know how many people are actually using this thing.

Installation Directions

(Directions lifted from here)

So far this only works on computers where you can download and install a little Greasemonkey file. It won't work on mobiles etc.

1. Make sure your Facebook account's language is set to "English (UK)". (To check, go to the down arrow in the top right hand corner, then "Account Settings" and then "Language")

2. What Internet Browser do you use? So far, I only know how to make this work on Firefox and Google Chrome. If you don't have these browsers, then you can download them very quickly and easily here.  If/when you have Google Chrome, you can go straight to Step 3.

If you use Firefox for your Internet browser, then go here and install the "add-on". Then go to Step 3.

3. Follow the link above and click "install" in the top right hand corner. You might need to close the browser and re-open it, but basically that's all there is to it. Your FB should now have whatever Dothraki translations we've done.

=================================================================
Current Translations (May not be as up-to-date as the code itself)

Green is for words which have been translated and (should) work.
Red is for English words to translate.
And orange is for words that don't currently work with the script, either because they aren't grabbed, or because they break something.

I'm guessing this is the same thing I got emailed about a bit ago. I was going to post it here just now - basically, they want videos of fans speaking. Sound about right? CNN was also interested in getting people together in NY or LA - I don't know how possible that is for the people here, it certainly isn't for me.

I think I'll be recording a piece, too. Are we all going to be using the text above?

Every now and then I get emails from HBO with new media- poster, trailers, etc. I'll put them up on the blog when I do. Just thought I should let you all know in case no one checks it.

I don't really see Skxawng minding.

Besides, he is toruk.

(Inside joke?)

Dedalvs asked on Twitter if we'd be ok if he used quotes/images from the forum on this Dothraki blog. Would anyone NOT be ok with that?

I imagine that he wouldn't post anything incriminating, of course, and that'd he properly cite people if they needed to be cited. But he figured it would be good to ask here first.

§§§§§

Also, hello. I really need to visit here more often.

Yeah, I didn't do it because it was so small to begin with. I was going to start when the series began, but forgot to. Now might be a good time to do that?
