[Stars]

Since we have coronavirus and i have a lot of time

1) English C1
2)Polish(native)

[DerFührer( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

1) Polish
2) I have been learning english for about 12 years now (more than 1/2 of my life) and I also acquired a B2 cerificate in english. I'm eager to help you guys, because I'm a big fan of the BFME games and LOTR universe in general. Almost forgot to mention that I'm a native polish speaker Keep up the good work guys

1) French
2) I come from Belgium, 28 years old, and I’m a complete fan of Tolkien.
I was an ancient player of BFME and I’m now back on this marvellous game for several weeks.

If you need a French-speaking guy to give his voice or translate some texts I’m your man.

For the voices :

I've no experience but I'd like to help.
I’ve a deep slow voice that is good for the Evil Factions or for some Dwarves. Of course, I understand that it has to be as close as possible from the P.J. movies in the French version.

For the texts :

I do write a lot of articles based on English references. So let's say that I'm quite used to translation from English to French. The reverse (form French to English) is more difficult for me but we doesn't care.

For all the translators, that's really important to agree on one thing (to rule them all).
It exists two (at least) complete different versions of the Tolkien's Lord of the Rings in French. One, old, made by Francis Ledoux. The other, quite new, by Daniel Lauzon.
We'll have to discuss seriously about this before translating anything 'cause there's a great gap between those two works. For example : Mirkwood is anciently translated by Forêt Noire. Now, we can read Forêt de Grand'Peur. Shadowfax is now Scadufax rather than Gripoil... etc. etc.
This new translation does not make the unanimous at all. In addition, the translation of the P.J. movies were based on the ancient translation made by Ledoux. I do really think that we have to keep this model not to disturb the players regarding BFME.

For the BFME Team : you've already received an email from me so you have my contact

Thanks a lot for your amazing work.

Native Language, it's not proper french. Different dialect (Albertan) but we just use then anglophone words more than the original french words.

1)Finnish
2)First, I am native Finnish speaker and I have read most of the Tolkien’s books in Finnish, so I am already familiar with the vocabulary of Middle-Earth. I also consider myself decent English speaker, mostly thanks to the Finnish school system.
