A translation of the speech in the opening cinematic...

mookiemookie · 12-21-06, 07:33 PM

Just for fun, I was watching the opening cinematic for SH3 again. (You know, the one where the hydrophone operator reports a contact, the captain looks through the scope and sees a convoy and they launch torpedoes. )

I can pick out a few phrases from what they're saying, but can one of our German speaking friends provide a translation of what they're saying exactly? I did a search for this since I would have thought this had been posted already, but couldn't find anything. Thanks!

When I first saw the thread title...I was asking myself "How do you translate a wolf's howl?"

But then I see you're apparently using vanilla SH3, and I can't answer your question because I don't wait around for the opening credits...there's a need to get aboard the boat and go on outrageously long patrols in crap weather with 51 other guys...LMAO.

It's in GWX as well, right after the wolf.

i cant remeber how i did it, or how i shut it off, but i do remember, seeing a few years ago, that the dialogue was translated into english subtitles. i dont know how it happened, but i cant make it come back. maybe it was a video i saw, but i swear the opening movie had english subtitles.

this is going to drive me crazy now.

A-HA!

Thanks, factor. You gave me the idea to search YouTube for it.

Not at all! untill late '41 all my convoy attacks are made on the surface. (GWx)

One of the most common ways U-boats attacked was surfaced!

Wow! I think I have learned German playing this game, I sussed out the dialouge when I originally got the game back in 2005!! Of course multiple viewings of Das Boot helped too.

I tell ya, I am really picking up a ton of German from SHIII and of course Das Boot as well.

I even find myself cursing in German sometimes now. Scheisse! (Or however you spell it.)
