Icelandic Translation

[Sypl]

Just saw this a few minutes ago. Thoughts and opinions?
I personally would have the site in Icelandic by default, then have a big button at the top with English text saying: Translate to English! When it is translated to English, the button would read: Þýða til íslensku!

 

[Superbird]

Happy April fools day!

Apparently it was done entirely by hand.

 

[Autumn]

Ah, fuck. Guess I have to leave TCoD if everything's in Icelandic now ; ; bye guys it's been nice knowing ya

 

[Spoon]

Pranks aside, I've wondered why Butterfree hasn't translated the site into Icelandic and had the option to read as English or Icelandic.

 

[Sypl]

I'm serious. From now on, only talk in Icelandic!
Vá, get ég ekki trúa því að ég féll fyrir það. Sennilega vegna þess að það er 31 hér.

 

[Wobbles]

I was worried when I saw it at first, but then thanked the heavens for time zones.

 

[Zora of Termina]

...So that's the prank this year.
I can live with that, I suppose, it's not like last year's at least, ugh.

I'm terribly amused at the idea that Pokemon has inexplicably become super-popular in Iceland, and I have this mental image of literally everyone in Iceland walking around with pokewalkers and plushies and sitting around playing their DS.

 

[Phantom]

Haha time zones are awesome. :p

and I have this mental image of literally everyone in Iceland walking around with pokewalkers and plushies and sitting around playing their DS.

that's a pretty accurate depiction of my high school starting in 2010 actually I knew like five people who brought their Pokéwalkers to school on a daily basis and there were countless loads more. and nowadays a bunch of guys I know in the band will pull their DS's out of hammerspace when bored and it's always Pokémon.

There actually really has been a resurge in Poké-love in Iceland in the past few years. Colleges have gotten taken over by it!

You'd know if you knew Icelandic.

Your Google Translate-fu is showing.

Last year's joke was two fake first chapters of the supposed sequel to Morphic. You probably mean the forum joke, which had absolutely nothing to do with the site or with me. Why does everyone keep connecting them together? :(

Ég er enn að tala svona.

 

[Tarvos]

Because Icelanders like their complicated grammar.

And I like the language.

 

[Zero Moment]

Aw man, I missed this year's joke.

Damn you, parents, and your ill-timed computer groundings.

 

[Sypl]

Aw maður, missti ég brandara á þessu ári.

Fjandinn þig, foreldra og illa tímasettar tölva þín groundings.

Því miður að þú misstir það.

 

[Tailsy]

why are you people trying to have a conversation using google translate that doesn't make any sense

 

[Dar]

I actually thought this was real. Then Sparda reminded me what comes after March.

 

[Butterfree]

Því miður að þú misstir það.

The terrible grammar, it burns. D:

 

[Sypl]

Ég hef enga þörf fyrir málfræði! Ég hef Þýða Google!

doesn't icelandic have no words for strategy or something like that

would it be too much work to explain what all the translations read as in icelandic?
