I can’t believe the amount of effort someone put into this! Not just translating all the speech but actually getting people to voice everything, and replacing the signs too? Also I have to believe they actually put all this through Google Translate because thinking up all this garbage personally is just crazy.
Replacing the signs is probably the most crazy. Voice acting and replacing the audio files is pretty simple. Sign replacing means you have to actively find every single sign in this damn game (which is nearly the entire game, discluding Xen) and replace them accordingly; still made an amazing game.
Really happy to have helped edit this one! Making subtitles for all the ridiculous Google Translate lines was super fun in it's own right. Keen on seeing what comes next for Cicero Fryman

The subtitles in this are genuinely godlike, including the closed captioning. They're great for accessibility, everything is either subtitled in-video or in captions (and impressively no overlap). They're easy to read and convey information well - in particular I love the use of colors to show what kind of character is speaking (including different shades if there are multiple, e.g. two soldiers conversing). They also add a lot to the video as far as enjoyment goes, emphasizing certain things with or without sound. All in all, the way you do subtitles is what got me into your videos, and for some reason when watching this video I felt the need to commend it. Thank you :)
I think it was polish. becouse it has a lots of similarities with polish language. there are a lots of words which actually mean multiple things. in English translation it's all halarious.
According to the mod creator, it was nearly every language, but mainly Hawaiian, Latin, and a few more. Apparently cicero came from the Latin translations, too.

I think that's the result of an interesting quirk of English. We got rid of all our informal pronouns, "thee" for example is the informal version of "you", but many languages still have theirs so it is a case of Google translating informal to informal.
@@squirrel_killer- But why would it translate it into early modern english? I don't get it. I know thee is still used but it's more of a victorian era remnant.
I don't know why, but Latin has a strong tendency to either COMPLETELY butcher the structure and meaning of a sentence and/or puts some of the words into King James-era English. As far as a remember, no other languages did this when I was making this mod.
@@BinkusTheTrinkus Woah, you made the mod? Props dude, I really enjoyed it! And yeah Latin is very.... context sensitive, so to say, as I've heard from a few friends who have to learn it in school.
@@areyouwelldoyouhavebrainda640 something that used a hard informal "you" which in english would be "thee" might confuse the rather literal translation based on hard definitions that is Google Translate. "Thee" is still technically part of our language, but normally we'd localize it out. Google Translate doesn't localize things only translate them. Human translation always results in mild localization even if we try to avoid it, we can't help ourselves. It's part of the sentence restructuring that needs to happen. Now how this happened would require knowing what language it was before hand, and what Google Translates database contains.
Half of these lines sound like something you'd hear in a cult. 5:08 "I also see oranges, and the purpose of the columns" 0:39 "You must first remove the crippled" 10:59 "I am in the abyss" 6:15 "I will embrace you" 20:44 *The entire conversation* 22:55 "We do not die" 13:36 "I will embrace you" returns 3:11 *Medieval speech intensifies* 6:50 That scientist looked at Jolly and told him not to laugh. *He knew.*

2:14 "Napkin story" "Suppose that you were sitting down at this table. The napkins are in front of you, which napkin would you take? The one on your ‘left’? Or the one on your ‘right’? The one on your left side? Or the one on your right side? Usually you would take the one on your left side. That is ‘correct’ too. But in a larger sense on society, that is wrong. Perhaps I could even substitute ‘society’ with the ‘Universe’. The correct answer is that ‘It is determined by the one who takes his or her own napkin first.’ …Yes? If the first one takes the napkin to their right, then there’s no choice but for others to also take the ‘right’ napkin. The same goes for the left. Everyone else will take the napkin to their left, because they have no other option. This is ‘society’… Who are the ones that determine the price of land first? There must have been someone who determined the value of money, first. The size of the rails on a train track? The magnitude of electricity? Laws and Regulations? Who was the first to determine these things? Did we all do it, because this is a Republic? Or was it Arbitrary? NO! The one who took the napkin first determined all of these things! The rules of this world are determined by that same principle of ‘right or left?’! In a Society like this table, a state of equilibrium, once one makes the first move, everyone must follow! In every era, this World has been operating by this napkin principle. And the one who ‘takes the napkin first’ must be someone who is respected by all. It’s not that anyone can fulfill this role… Those that are despotic or unworthy will be scorned. And those are the ‘losers’. In the case of this table, the ‘eldest’ or the ‘Master of the party’ will take the napkin first… Because everyone ‘respects’ those individuals."

The subtitles in this are genuinely godlike, including the closed captioning. They're great for accessibility, everything is either subtitled in-video or in captions (and impressively no overlap). They're easy to read and convey information well - in particular I love the use of colors to show what kind of character is speaking (including different shades if there are multiple, e.g. two soldiers conversing). They also add a lot to the video as far as enjoyment goes, emphasizing certain things with or without sound.
All in all, the way you do subtitles is what got me into your videos, and for some reason when watching this video I felt the need to commend it. Thank you :)
the subtitles are godly
Finally someone mentioned this. Thank you sir.
Sovietwomble also do captions but more defining with sentences curved around circular objects and some other shenanigans.
In his old videos from like 2016 he only used subtitles and never talked

11:21 was probably the most beautiful grenade I've ever seen being shot at the player. Gorgeous.
I had it even better. I turned around and took a grenade in to my face. Now where did that video go....
This is my comfort video for some reason I come back to this whenever I want to feel well
I hope you haven't had to come back to this vid in a bit.
I think the amateur voice acting is really the comedic icing in the cake for this mod.
I don't think even a professional could make it sound good lol
"I want to know what language did this"
Chinese. 100%. Google translate absolutely butchers Chinese translations.
I think it was polish. becouse it has a lots of similarities with polish language. there are a lots of words which actually mean multiple things. in English translation it's all halarious.
maybe Italian?
@@forecastumbrella1626 make one for half life 2 also! All that dialouge is a gold mine!
Japanese too is absolute shred by the translator
According to the mod creator, it was nearly every language, but mainly Hawaiian, Latin, and a few more. Apparently cicero came from the Latin translations, too.
You can tell the guy that VA'd the soldiers had so much fun
Some of my personal favorites:
"Take control immediately!" (7:15)
"Oh...Swing the tango. And jump! Into shape!" (9:28)
"You! Be unconscious!" (9:44)
"Position...in position...done." (10:12)
"Take control immediately" doesn't even sound out of place.
Position in position, done. I don't know why that one gets me everytime.
What about "*hey doctor*"
@@strangeyoutuberman7115 That one’s good too it gives off “Oh hi Mark” energy
"Why do I not have an account?!" is comedy gold because I'm just imagining the soldier on the phone with his bank teller
1:28 "Hello, the Cicero. Looks like there are slow." never fails to make me smile.

I LOVE how casually and accurately you kill the alien and go back to the wall.
Pure FPS reflex, no thought needed.
Omg yes!
Imagine just going on a tram ride to some place and you hear over the intercom: ''REMOVE THE CRIPPLED''.
imagine it's your first day working there too
reminds me of my trip to china.
Thats just Germany in 1939 to be honest.

i'm sure there's 1 guy out there who agrees that doomslayer is a horrible character but everyone else doesn't like me saying that
I like how the scientist at 3:12 just randomly switched to early modern english.
I think that's the result of an interesting quirk of English. We got rid of all our informal pronouns, "thee" for example is the informal version of "you", but many languages still have theirs so it is a case of Google translating informal to informal.
@@squirrel_killer- But why would it translate it into early modern english? I don't get it. I know thee is still used but it's more of a victorian era remnant.
I don't know why, but Latin has a strong tendency to either COMPLETELY butcher the structure and meaning of a sentence and/or puts some of the words into King James-era English. As far as a remember, no other languages did this when I was making this mod.
@@BinkusTheTrinkus Woah, you made the mod? Props dude, I really enjoyed it!
And yeah Latin is very.... context sensitive, so to say, as I've heard from a few friends who have to learn it in school.
@@areyouwelldoyouhavebrainda640 something that used a hard informal "you" which in english would be "thee" might confuse the rather literal translation based on hard definitions that is Google Translate.
"Thee" is still technically part of our language, but normally we'd localize it out. Google Translate doesn't localize things only translate them. Human translation always results in mild localization even if we try to avoid it, we can't help ourselves. It's part of the sentence restructuring that needs to happen.
Now how this happened would require knowing what language it was before hand, and what Google Translates database contains.

Half of these lines sound like something you'd hear in a cult.
5:08 "I also see oranges, and the purpose of the columns"
0:39 "You must first remove the crippled"
10:59 "I am in the abyss"
6:15 "I will embrace you"

22:55 "We do not die"
13:36 "I will embrace you" returns
3:11 *Medieval speech intensifies*
6:50 That scientist looked at Jolly and told him not to laugh. *He knew.*
These are not in chronological order and it is bugging the heck out of me
Half life google translated but some IA are self aware
Good work, I don't think so.
My heart dropped at 6:50 when the scientist looks RIGHT at you and says "don't laugh." when jolly's laughing.
"What does our device do?"
"Haven't decided yet"
Me: *Immediately breaks into fits of laughter*
Literally every tech start-up right now.
3:40
I believe that line was originally
"Standard insertion for a non-standard specimen"
"you're old and wrong"
They are so self aware.
8:48 I remember seeing this live on Twitch, still can't believe he managed to do all that and die a stupid way lol
The best failures are contrasted by following a beautiful success.
He didn't die to the pillar. The mines have a kill switch. If you trigger one from across the map it still kills you
@@incog0956 That's in a completely different chapter lol
he did die from the pillar sticking out part. I can confirm as I died to it MANY times in Sven Co-op xd

In retrospect, scientists experimenting together sounds completely normal.
2:14 "Napkin story"
"Suppose that you were sitting down at this table. The napkins are in front of you, which napkin would you take? The one on your ‘left’? Or the one on your ‘right’? The one on your left side? Or the one on your right side? Usually you would take the one on your left side. That is ‘correct’ too. But in a larger sense on society, that is wrong. Perhaps I could even substitute ‘society’ with the ‘Universe’. The correct answer is that ‘It is determined by the one who takes his or her own napkin first.’ …Yes? If the first one takes the napkin to their right, then there’s no choice but for others to also take the ‘right’ napkin. The same goes for the left. Everyone else will take the napkin to their left, because they have no other option. This is ‘society’… Who are the ones that determine the price of land first? There must have been someone who determined the value of money, first. The size of the rails on a train track? The magnitude of electricity? Laws and Regulations? Who was the first to determine these things? Did we all do it, because this is a Republic? Or was it Arbitrary? NO! The one who took the napkin first determined all of these things! The rules of this world are determined by that same principle of ‘right or left?’! In a Society like this table, a state of equilibrium, once one makes the first move, everyone must follow! In every era, this World has been operating by this napkin principle. And the one who ‘takes the napkin first’ must be someone who is respected by all. It’s not that anyone can fulfill this role… Those that are despotic or unworthy will be scorned. And those are the ‘losers’. In the case of this table, the ‘eldest’ or the ‘Master of the party’ will take the napkin first… Because everyone ‘respects’ those individuals."
