Chapter 10: Appendix: Tenenbaum's Translations
Disclaimer: Warnung! Aufmerksamkeit! Probably really bad German ahead. Apologies to native speakers. Feel free to review and correct me and I'll change it. The translations are in alphabetical German -so bear that in mind when searching for a translation.
Appendix: Tenebaum's German Translations
Many, many, many thanks to The-Sanity-Assassin who so kindly (years!) after the writing of this helped with the German translations. That was very cool of you. Any mistakes made were the by-product of using crappy online translators -and having no knowledge of the language myself *sweatdrops*
Amerikaner - Americans
Aufmerksamkeit! - Attention!
Ich liebe dich. - I love you
Ja - Yes
kleiner - little
Möge Gott dir beistehen. - May God be with you.
(Mein) Gott - (My) God
Mutter - mother
Nein - No
Ruhe in Frieden mein Kind. - Rest in peace my child.
Scheiße - Shit
Schweinehund - Literal translation is pig-dog. But it's basically just an insult.
Vielen Dank - Thank you
Warnung! - Warning!
Okay, that's the end of Saviour. Hm. I feel quite proud. Once again, thank you to all who reviewed/alerted/favourited this story. It brightened my day considerably when I read the kind (and whoa, extremely flattering -blushes-) things people said about this.
To those who completed the game: Wasn't this one of the best games this year? (okay, Mass Effect might have kicked its arse, but that game gave even Zelda a run for its money -or rupees if you prefer) I hope this story has fleshed out Tenenbaum's role a bit role and hopefully inspired you to play it again. If you own a XBOX 360, make sure to check how many achievements you've unlocked - 'The Historian' one means you've collected all the audio diaries and know basically all of what happened in Rapture, so get out there and get listening!
To those who have played, but not completed the game: What the hell are you doing here? (joking) Hope you won't regret reading all the spoilers -grins- and that this didn't put you off playing the rest of it through to the end.
To those who don't have the game: Go and buy it! It's an excellent, excellent game and if you liked this story, Bioshock tells it much better than I ever could.
Thanks again everyone for reading and reviewing. Your support is greatly appreciated.
