[COLLECTION THREAD] Danish Translation and Text Errors

@crinrictThe post here solved my answer with the English neighbourhood names in the base game worlds, which is what it is. But the majority of my error report was centred around the lot names in Brindleton Bay.

As I wrote there, all the lot names in that world are in English - with the exception of the Hecking family lot, the empty lot in the same neighbourhood, and the Latin (Domus Familiaris) and French (Chateau Frise) lot names. This has been present ever since the launch of C&D, if I remember correctly.

Furthermore, one of the neighbour names is also in English (Cavalier Cove) while all the others are in Danish (Sabelpladsen, Knurhårskajen, and Græsøen). So in the neighbourhood of Græsøen (Deadgrass Isle), the museum is still named Deadgrass Discoveries.

TL;DR: most lot names (and one neighbourhood name) in Brindleton Bay are in English, despite the game being in Danish.

The attached file has all the names in Brindleton Bay, as they show up in my Danish game.

I'm guessing that the English version of the game says something like "put here" or "place here". While "læg" is a correct translation of "put" and "place", it is not the correct translation in the context. Danish has two words for "put"/"place": "Læg" and "sæt". "Læg" is used for placing someone in a horisontal position, like "put toddler to bed" ("læg tumling i seng") while "sæt" is used when placing someone in a sitting posion, like "put toddler in highchair" ("sæt tumling i højstol"). The correct translation does appear if the selected sim is holding a toddler or if there is only 1 toddler in the household and click a highchair.

Additionally, "ned" is also not the correct word to use in this context. While both "læg ned" and "sæt ned" are correct Danish sentences, it is not correct in this context as they are more used for putting items down and the littreal translation is "put down". I would use "her" because "her" means "here" so you end up with the sentence "sæt her". This, correct, translation also appears when you only have one toddler in the household or your selected sim is holding a toddler, i.e "Sæt *name* her".

To sum up:

"Læg ned..." = incorrect

"Sæt ned..." = more correct but not fully in this context

"Sæt her" = correct

Sorry for the long explanation, I'm a bit of a language/grammar nerd.

I realise there's a thread for Danish mistranslations and I tried to post this here, but I guess using the "start new topic" button was wrong even when I was on the thread? I read all of the introduction to the Answer HQ stuff but must've missed how to add to an existing thread. I'm guessing I have to use the "reply" feature and copy-paste the bug report format? I'm sorry for any additional work this causes any of the admins but this is my very first post.

This isn't super important since I was still able to figure out what I had to do, but the actual option when talking to a sims is translated differently than what the Aspiration thing tells you. Both of them are correct translations, but I figure they should be the same.

The Aspiration says: "Lær at strikke"

The option that pops up when clicking a sim is: "Undervis i at strikke"

The Aspiration is the knitting one and it's the 4th one in the last Milestone.

This is a typo.

One of the messages that you can get in the new Dream Home Decorator pack is a new person saying that they want to give their house some new life and that X sim (previous customer) recommended you. In Danish it says:

"Jeg vil gerne give mit hus nyt liv, og X anbefalede dog. Jeg får lige mine folk til at kontakte dine folk" which translates to "I want to give my house some new life and X recommended though. I'll have my people contact your people"

Instead it should say:

"Jeg vil gerne give mit hus nyt liv, og X anbefalede dig. Jeg får lige mine folk til at kontakte dine folk" which means "I want to give my house some new life and X recommended you. I'll have my people contact your people"

I've underlined this in the attached screenshot as well.

When clicking on a campfire there is an option to put out the fire. In Danish, this has been translated to "Sluk branden". "Fire" can mean both a fire in your house and a fire in like a campfire, and in Danish that has two seperate words. "Brand(en)" means a fire in the house, which a campfire (hopefully) isn't, while "bål(et)" or "lejrbål(et)" as the item is called means a campfire.

I would suggest chaning the option to say "sluk bålet".

I'm not sure if this is a bug across all languages or if this is only in the Danish version.

When sitting around a campfire, your sims have the option to play guitar or sing songs. In the first picture ("guitar"), it says the option is not available because the selected sim doesn't have level 3 in the guitar playing skill (fair enough). The singing option however, says the same thing (as seen in picture 2, "sang + guitar"), and I'm not 100% sure that this is a bug since the point might be that they play guitar and sing at the same time? Anyway, I decided to select a sim who has level 7 in the guitar skill, but he can't play guitar or sing because he doesn't have a violin in his inventory (picture 3, "violin + guitar") which doesn't make sense at all.

I assume that to play guitar around the campfire a sim would need 1) level 3 in the guitar skill and 2) a guitar in their inventory.

For the singing on, I think it would make sense that they would just need level 3 in singing. If the point is that they are singing with a guitar, then the requirements should be the same as for playing guitar around the campfire.

One thing is for sure, they definitely shouldn't need a violin to play guitar lol

@Sara862gThere is actually something wrong, however the first two instances are correct, to sing you need a guitar and also a certain level in both skills. For the third one I don't understand why it requires the violin (which has nothing to do with it), but the error in this case appears because there are too many chairs around the fire, you must leave a free spot, the sim in fact will never play seated, but standing.
