StormHammer Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 With all the serious discussion going on in here...maybe it's time for a silly thread. As you may (or may not) know, when Raven made Jedi Outcast, they used the Aurebesh language for writing a lot of the text on displays and what-have-you. Well...the sad little man that I am...I actually went around translating some of those consoles in JO to see if they made any 'mistakes' *ahem*... Now we have some screenies of Jedi Academy, with quite a few signs on display...so I decided to check one... It turns out the sign is 'backwards' (I hope they fixed it in the final version of the game ) It reads... Speed Swoop Garage Reasonable Rates Parts and Servicing If anyone else wants to translate some of the signs and consoles in JA...you can use this ready reckoner for Aurebesh. Just post a screenie (or link) to the console/sign you're translating, along with the translation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enjoi9187 Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Great idea! Can you give us some hints as for where to look? Like what city is it most prominent in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like what city is it most prominent in? Well...just check through all of the screenshots released so far for the game. You should find that kind of writing in some of them. And when the full game is released, just post translations of consoles/signs as you come across them in the game. I'm hoping that we should be able to turn up at least one little Easter egg...or something just plain funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanTB123 Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 The legible print reads: "Ion Targeting System". The smaller print, I can't read, but the idea of being able to translate this stuff is pretty cool. Thanks for the translation guide, StormHammer.

GonkH8er Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Had this sent to me by one of our good friends. Took me a good 3 mins to decode the damn thing. Damn non english alphabets It reads... "The Galaxies Greatest JUNK SHOP New and used droid parts Only the best..." Picture of a gonk on a junk store? damn straight! Shot is from a seige map apparently. Has something to do with one of the mission objectives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted August 24, 2003 Author Share Posted August 24, 2003 Haha...that one's great, Gonk. And SeanTB123... I believe the bottom word on that console reads Levels, but the word above it is not quite clear enough... - - - E R - - O R Those are the only letters I can make out clearly...
