Stone wrote:Jungle-Fever in da house!

Ha ha ha! Thank you for that, Stone.

I'm curious to know the literal translations for those, especially Sturztal (Ropey Rampage) and Krimskrams GmbH (Kremkroc Industries Inc.)

Trick Track Treck is pretty similar. Does 'treck' mean something like 'journey' in German?
Croctopus Safari? I wonder why... does safari have a unique meaning in German?

This information is really good to have. Thanks again!

Oh, time for dictionary session...
So that's what i found out:

Gallion = ship (galleon?)
Planken = plank/board

Safari is safari, no unique meaning. Not quite the thing I think about when I hear Safari...

I first thought the Treck was just a wordplay (i always think about "Tick, Trick und Track" which are "Huey, Dewey, and Louie" in english when I hear that levelname), but it seems to be the same like trek. Search for "Great Trek" in wikipedia and then select german —> Großer Treck

Sturztal = fall valley — my dictionary says: fall, downfall/overthrow (in politic) and this example: "Der Sturz des Dollars"="the collapse of the dollar"

Krimskrams = bric-a-brac/knick-knacks/paraphernalia/odds and ends/bits and bobs
GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung = company with limited liability) = Inc.

So that's it

Sounds like 'Krimskrams' was a very well chosen word. It sounds/looks very similar to Kremkroc and actually means something. Something relevant, too. Oh and "company with limited liability" hits the nail right on the head!

Just curious: How did you get 'valley' for your 'Sturztal' translation? Fall valley sounds like an appropriate name, too.

Qyzbud wrote:How did you get 'valley' for your 'Sturztal' translation?

Tal = valley (should be right )

Oh of course. I should have realised.

I guess it caught me out because it's one single word... Is it common in German for words to be brought together to make a single word?

Yes, I think it's safe to say that it is very common. "Höhlenwahnsinn" would be an other example

...Cave Madness?


Also, the German name for Slip Slide Ride is Schwarzwald Tour, which translates to Black Forest Tour, right? Any idea why that's relevant to the level?

I don't have any idea why Nintendo called it Schwarzwald Tour, would fit perfectly to those forest levels. (or there are ice-caves in the Schwarzwald, who knows?)
And also, your translations are correct, so here's your prize:

Maybe I should open another topic for this, because you are the only one replying here at the moment, Qyzbud

Well , I don't what to say... I guess I could translate the levels into Swedish and write down... Lol. That would probably look awful though .

nice idea! Teach us some sweet swedish.
There are only english versions in sweden, or do some get translated? Games without a german translation are not very common in germany (either we are too dumb or we are too lazy to read english ). Same goes for france, too.. Ok, Super Mario World wasn't translated into german, but i think this game was pretty self explanatory.
A propos translation...
The PAL version of DKC contains English, French and German. The PAL version of DKC2 contains English and German only. DKC2 also doesn't save the language you have chosen, DKC does. Funny, isn't it?
But there is a french speedrun in DKC2 at SDA - do they have their own frenchie version?

That's all I remember, I'll get it updated sometime, it's just Spanish translations were sooooo bad! They kinda lost the DKC touch in the names =(

EDIT: Finished! =D

Thanks for those. I think I like Spanish more than English... All the words look/sound that much more awesome en Español! I'm not much of a Spaniard myself, so I can only translate bits and pieces of it in my head, so I really don't know how much of the spirit is lost in translation. You have a good memory, it seems!

I find it weird the Gang-plank Galleon is called Galeón del Gang-plank in DKC but Galeón plancha in DKC2 :S
May be because the translators are different.

Oh, and Stone, it would be cool if you post DKC3's =) unless there aren't any :S

EDIT: Corrected some incorrect level names.

Of course, there are official translations. But:
1. I've never had a DKC3 cartridge.
2. In emu, I never played the whole game (at least I got up to the snow levels and boss)
3. In the short time I've tested the game on emulator, I've forgotten to switch to German. And somehow, unlike in DKC and DKC2, you can't change the language on a save already started in English.

But maybe I'll start again just to provide some names.

Even though there's never been a Dutch translation for the DKC games, I could still try and translate them to Dutch if any of you are interested?

I've gotten them from another source, so its possible that there are mistakes.
I may correct them soon (if there are any), because I'm going to beat 3 for the first time in my life!

I've now edited DKC3's levelnames. There were just minor mistakes (Swoopie, Rambus) and some missing " - ".
