Need someone who speaks English well - lorenai - 10.02.2008
Hi all, i need your assistance. One good man makes new server commander for his own project. And, he needs to put some chat messages inside the code. but it should be in good english. i have already made it but i am not sure my English is good. Please read it and if you see any mistakes (or you think it should be written in other way) - fix it. Many thanks.
Probable deliberate disconnection

Looks pretty good to me, man. Maybe change 'one pilot is killed' to 'one pilot has been killed'.
Also I'd say 'IN sector XYZ' not"AT sector XYZ".
Finally, "Team has only 5 pilots left."
These changes are all pretty minor. Your original ones were perfectly clear enough.

Looks good to me too. Although instead of 'planes' I would say 'aircraft'. And instead of 'left' I would say 'remaining'. But thats just my Anglo-Celtic heritage talking :wink:

This is the only one requiring a small correction IMHO:
Warning! Team *TEAM*: only 5 pilots left.

Im not English but i think its better put " Mission will stop in 50 sec" instead of " mission will be stopped in 50 sec" :roll:
If im wrong please say it.
- Nocturnum - 10.02.2008
Oops. Agreed with BF-109 but forgot to mention it.
Bee - your Anglo-Celtic heritage should be making you choose "left", which is of Frisian derivation rather than 'remaining' which is from the Normans.

Begorrah! I guess I take after me mum then
- GentleKiller - 10.02.2008
yes those corrections are minor.
the corrections made by people above a right too.
no big changes in grammar or vocabulary are needed.
hope your server goes good
what is going to be the name of the server? might just as well come by and try a server :wink: :wink:
