Jaypalm Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) The sign in front of CephalonSuda "The Tenno Is The Sworn Protector Of The Origin System" (corrected as pointed out) In front of Steel Meridian "The Tenno Is Both The Shadow And The Light" This one actually has "typos." The "AW" in BAWTH, the "OW" in SHADOW, and the "IH" in LIHGHT are the wrong vowels. In front of Darvo's elevator room. "Welcome" In front of Red Veil "A Tenno Is Sworn To Maintain The Balance" Again, a "typo" on "Balance" In front of Perrin Sequence "The Lotus Is Our Friend, Leader And Guide" Next to Darvo's elevators. "Energy Of The Void Is The Lifeblood(?) Of A Tenno" No so sure about it being Lifeblood. Any other opinions? All the terminals from what I can tell "Control" Stairs behind Rhino statue, left side center column. "You Are The Hope And Future Of The Tenno" The emphasis is between the two markers, like BBC coding. The "AMD" is typoed I believe. EDIT: It says information.

Vargras Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The sign in front of CephalonSuda "The Tenno Is The Sworn Protector Of The Orokin System" In front of Steel Meridian "The Tenno Is Both The Shadow And The Light" This one actually has "typos." The "AW" in BAWTH, the "OW" in SHADOW, and the "IH" in LIHGHT are the wrong vowels. In front of Darvo's elevator. "Welcome" First translation strikes me more as being "Origin System" than "Orokin System". The solar system is also repeatedly referred to throughout the game as the Origin System as well.

Reidmaster Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 "The Tenno Is The Sworn Protector Of The Orokin System" Should be "Origin" not Orokin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weidro Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 actualy there is nothing to "correct" orokin is a phonetic language so it has to be spoken to read it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terumitsu Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I kinda wish I had seen this before going off and doing my own work. Either way, good to know there are others interested in this sort of thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaypalm Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 What about the one on the top You mean my top photo? Or is there a sign I missed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imaru Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Very nice. There was also some in Darvo's store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaypalm Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Very nice. There was also some in Darvo's store. The Orokin dialect says "Sale", and since the others are both 4 characters I assume they also say "Sale" What about the one on the top EDIT: It says information. Funny how this is upside down Edited December 12, 2014 by -CM-Jaypalm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaypalm Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 I swear I rotated it. Lol your photo is properly oriented. The text in-game is upside down for whatever reason. The accents are supposed to be on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DellSalami Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Lol your photo is properly oriented. The text in-game is upside down for whatever reason. The accents are supposed to be on top.

Zadier Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The text in-game is upside down for whatever reason. The accents are supposed to be on top. Maybe it's actually acceptable either way, and the location of the accents and orientation of the text is just a preferential sort of thing, kind of like how some Chinese books have the characters written from top to bottom, in columns going from right to left, just to give one example.

In the community's original efforts to decipher the language, that was a trait that was considered. However, DE released an official translation key presented here with the intended text orientation.

Zadier Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Well, yes, but one thing I've noticed is that the Orokin characters are notable in how their general shape has a sort of rotational symmetry. What if, in-universe, it was actually intentionally designed in such a way, and the language doesn't actually have one single "correct" orientation? Those who knew the language would simply learn how to read it upside down, or sideways, or in whatever other orientation, as a natural part of learning to read in the first place. Considering how it seems to have been extensively used for decorative purposes, it would kind of make sense to have something that could be easily read the same way regardless of which direction it was going in. Also, none of the letters have perfect rotational symmetry either, so given sufficient familiarity with them it would be impossible to confuse which way the characters are meant to be read. I mean, if you flipped the letters E or C upside down they still have the same general shape, but anyone familiar with the English language would recognize they were upside down immediately. The difference here would be that readers of Orokin text would have been accustomed from birth to reading words upside down and sideways and would presumably have no problem doing so, whereas I doubt many people have trained themselves in reading English upside down ever since they began learning the language. Just a weird idea that came to me, while reading this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arch111 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Great efforts! I feel like a very small kid reading yhis outloud though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morec0 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 *taps fingers curiously* I can't help but wonder who these are for... Or how accurate they are... But, and this is going to sound weird, looking at that: "you are the future of the Tenno" one... Could it be that the Tenno "reproduce" via volunteer? COULD THE CIVILIANS of the current Origin System expose themselves to the Void and become Tenno? Is that something that is encouraged? Or is it a more metaphorical idea? One of upholding values and whatnot? I dunno, I've woken up, can't sleep, and probably aren't thinking clearly about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratego89 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Got a nice picture of the flowing data in the air in random places. Also translated it and found out it's just a repeating segment of the message behind the rhino statue. (This particular strand of data is just outside of the Arbiters of Hexis' syndicate room.) -"You are the hope and future."

LifeNine Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Looks like someone did this already. I probably should have checked before I decided to translate the signs and created pictures. Anyways, there is a sign in Darvo's room that you missed. Everything else you translated is the same as what I got. Sign in Darvo's room: I assume the corpus and grineer words are the same.

Elenortirie Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 First translation strikes me more as being "Origin System" than "Orokin System". The solar system is also repeatedly referred to throughout the game as the Origin System as well. not only in warframe - I found it out lastly that our solar systems irl are quite often referred to as "origin system" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
