[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] No, but the [i]Norway[/i] is...although I still remember her as the [i]�le de France[/i], savior of the [i]Andrea Doria[/i] collision. Another thing, now that I like about it...ACCENT MARKS. I've been trying of late to get them right, but if I were to go back through the 25,000 ships I have now, to look for accent marks...DAMN. This seem to be a big thing for me because it can really fuck things up. Let's take 2 characters only found in Icelandic--� (or �) & � (or �). In an English translation, some idiot would turn them into "d" & "p," respectively becasue that what they think it looks like, thus making Bor�eyri & �ingvellir into "Bordeyri" & "Pingvellir." But "�" is pronounced as a "th" like in "the" & "�" is "th" like in "thing," so a proper translation would be "Bortheyri" & "Thingvellir." Or just use the correct fucking accents. [/QB][/QUOTE]
