Argon Today

Since the last realease there was no time to make another one. We are sorry, and we'll try to make the next one as soon, as possible.

I've uploaded a short extract from Argon Today 5. Why? X3:TC cames out in a few weeks, and it would be a bit silly to bring aut a report about X3:TC after the release The extract wasn't corrected by someone, so I'm sorry for possible mistakes Have fun

Good stuff, love the weed booze party poster

Couple of suggestions:

- As a fluent speaker of English and nothing else i can say that the translation is relatively good however there are some grammar issues that make some sentences seem a bit nonsensical. <-- i have a degree in english even though i am english i know heh, but i was spending a grant ££$$

- Why have it in PDF? How about a website i.e like an interactive News Paper (i can host it if you like). It would be very easy using HTML and some imaging to make it look like a 'futuristic' kinda newspaper.

[tehwasabi]

hahahahah funny stuff

[XVII]

We are sorry for some mistakes, be we do our very best

AT is build in PDF, because the German version is it too No, sometimes there will be a "Interactiv" Argon Today. I learned HTML and a lot of other languages, but we have to do a lot with translating the other German versions, so there is no time currently. We will inform you, if there is a "Web-Argon-Today".

I hope you all enjoy AT, and psst, there will be a second release soon

Downloaded, will read later

[adobis]

Well first great job!

Then, on X2, it's a bit disturbing the "6GJ shields" and the "28 prescribed turrets"!

And keep up the good work

[jeanorwin[KBG]]

There is already a website for the argon today (http://www.jeanorwin.bplaced.net), also in english, but the only thing it says: Still in construction

So you have to wait around a month until I'm bored enough to make that website

[SVAndrei]

Well done! Nice reading there.

[apricotslice]

Great idea.

The spelling is not very good though. And as mentioned, it doesnt read too well in places.

I would suggest you need an english speaking (first language) proof reader as part of the team who can take the translated version and correct the spelling and readability issues.

I'd also suggest you do this on a blog, not a download file.

[Gabeux]

I wanna go to the Goners party, man...lmao

[surferx]

I wish this could be inserted into the game BBS it would be fun to read there, with the translation cleaned up a little, but it's good stuff. Nice to read something different.
[EDIT] Rereading it and it does really need a better translation, but I'm not trying to criticize. They are making the effort and I appreciate that; but I read a headline "Additional ship tolls discovered" and thought of Taggert saying to his crew. "Does anybody got a dime?
Somebody's got to go back and get a shipload of dimes." Dimes wav

Ok, I'm not perfect in English I translated the first release by myself, and it took a long time to translate If someone want to help me (e.g. proof reader ), please send an e-mail to me, or send an PM.

I wish this could be inserted into the game BBS it would be fun to read there

Hm, i thought about that, and I've got a alpha version of that, but only in german Keep on staying, sometimes it will be finished...

If you want to email me some english text, I'll be happy to clean it up for you.

But I cant help with translating.

[XVII]

Ok, thanks! The translation is our part, but I'm very happy for every one, who can correct the translated

Well now I'm dreaming about the "Split Family News"

[XanII]

Honestly, how much space weed and space whiskey was 'harmed' during the production of this?

[jeanorwin[KBG]]

I didn't use any weed while I was creating the german version

[XanII]

But plenty of booze i see?

[adobis]

Hey that's unfair I want to be a journalist!

[surefire_ven0m]

Sorry for off topic but @Adobis;

Those are some cool ships you have in your sig are they from one of the mods ?

I want them!
