Hey,
I've seen there isn't Housepets translation here.
Thus I submit to translate the comics in French, even if that's not easy. Enjoy!

Some names in French (but not translated in the French version):
_ Fox : Renard
_ Grape : Raisin
_ King : Roi
_ Peanut : Cacahuète
_ Pridelands : "Terres Fières"/"Terres de la Fierté"
_ Tiger : Tigre

Good luck with the Translations!
I'd love to see this continue, by then my French might actually get a little better.

Hmm, there has got to be an easy way to put together an alt language version of the site

You might be able to rig up some kind of toggle script that loads the alt-language strips instead of the English ones, but if you wanted to go farther than that, you'd have to re-write the whole site for any particular language you wanted to support.

Thanks all for your encouragements. ^^


I confirm. ^^"


That would be nice.

I post a new strip translated and I bed down (that's almost 3 am in France ).

Welcome aboard the translating club, Foldo. Hope to see many, many and many more strips translated into your language.

Thanks.
I'm trying, I'm trying.^^

(awakened almost at noon --")

*advertisement mode on* use some spare time to check my own translation mon vieux *advertisement mode off*

Even if I don't speak Italian ?^^"

i don't speak french, though some words i can comprehend. Plus, given the fact that we already know what's the original text, it makes it easier read through the translation.
OK, I'd have SOME problems with Arabic, Russian, Chinese and so on... But it'd be very fun to see the translations of that, too

Okay ^^

The first strip translation has been changed ans I have translated a new strip. Good night (1 am in France).

New strip translated.^^

New translated strip. Very very difficult (and thanks to a friend). ^^"

First arc translation completed ! ^^
Keep the femininity of Grabe secret is almost an impossible mission in French.

Second translation arc started!

I'm going to asleep... (3 am here).

Great work as usual.
Fear LE JEU, puny mortals!

Thanks. But a friend had helped me a little, because a second regard is always useful.^^

Exceptionally, I translated the two strips of today :



Thats not a final version.

Since it is the Christmas holidays, I translate the current strips while continuing the translation of olds.
I had to change the size of two text boxes, one for each day. Will you be able to find them?
(thank you to those who helped me)

XXVII. It's A Wonderful Dog's Life : 11/x



That's not a final version.


II. The Game: 4/9

June 2008 completed!

II. The Game: 5, 6 and 7/9

And the first July 2008 strip...

II. The Game: 8/9

I finished the translation as fast as I could.

XXVII. It's A Wonderful Dog's Life : 12/x



That's not a final version.

And Merry Christmas.

One off: Gregory who?

That's not a fixed version.

The Game 9/9 ans One offs # 1

Great new: I downloaded Webletterer Pro on my computer (legally) and I can now type my text without having to change the font for each accent.

Cause I do not want to see a full half French and half in English (hypothetic marketing issue for the book), Pridelands has been translated as Terres fières.

Current strip (one-off):


This translation isn't fixed.
Translation quality : 5/5

luckily, Italian and English tend to mix without problems... Go PRIDELANDS!

Sorry for my long absence, but the cord from my laptop died last Sunday. :/

So, two updates:

One-off, The Real Culprit


This translation is not fixed.
Translation quality : 4/5

Great work so far! I'm still laughing at "Mon humide salut"

And just a question, doesn't "par-ce que" require the hyphen in the middle?

Thanks.


No, "because" is really translated by "parce que" in French.

I re-read it more slowly and I might have found some translation errors:

The original "Let there be rain" is lampooned from the bible's "Let there be light." In French, this would be "Que la lumière soit", so maybe it should be translated "Que la pluie soit". Currently, it translates back as "let it rain" (but not yet sounding like a lampoon of "Let it snow").
Of course, you might be referencing something else here. The Spanish version of "It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring" goes "¡Que llueva! ¡Que llueva! ¡La vieja está en la cueva!" (literally, "Let it rain! Let it rain! The old lady is in the cave!") If French has a similar song, this might just work as it is.

I was wondering, wouldn't Rex know that Grape is a girl? (Of course, using "elle" would ruin the joke at the end of the arc, maybe if we went for something neutral? Such as "Qui a dit ça ?! Qui ne jouait pas au jeu ?!"

The original implies Fox has a slightly better memory: "What were we not supposed to do in that game?"

The original has "spearbearers", in plural. This leaves the possibility that the "hundred lions in tribal gear" are the ones carrying spears.
The other possible objection is that "lancier" implies they know how to use the spear –spearbearers only implies they are carrying the spears, possibly as squires– but I can't think of anything better ("porte-lances" sounds kind of silly), so let's just leave it at that.

Thanks Frank. That's very useful for me.

Well, here there are the corrected strips:
- Mission nettoyage;
- Tu ne peux pas gagner;
- Tout le monde gagne;
- Ce qu'ils veulent que tu penses, blablabla....

And here some new strips (translations not fixed):
One-off, The Great Outdoor
