Kumon-Sensei Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) This might be stupid topic, but I really wanna make sure about it. I'm a Korean player who usually play in Korean Version a lot although I can understand English quite normally. While I'm playing Korean version recently, I found quite annoying mistranslation about the term "Kubrow": Currently it's translated as "커브로우" in Korean ver, which is pronounced like "KU-b-row".(like, when you pronounce the word 'cub') As I hear how the staffs from Devstream earlier, and later Characters have their own voice like Lotus read 'Kubrow' (It definitely sounds as 'Koo-b-row', isn't it?) , I've been convinced that this translation is WRONG, and wrote feedback to them on the localization forum - then the Korean translator says "I don't think so". He insists how to read 'Kubrow' may depend on case by case, and told me I gotta find out the official pronunciation if I wanna fix it that eagerly. I already looked through the languages(Russian, Japanese and Chinese) that don't write the word "Kubrow" in Alphabet as like English and found out all of them write "Ku" part as it sounds like "KOO', but I wanna make sure how this exactly sounds in English. Anyone can help? Edited July 23, 2014 by Salafatur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopStricken Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Fairly certain it's meant to be koo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omegarick Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Do they not pronounce it quite a few times in the dialogue of the missions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerZeyCJ Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 It's pronounced Koo-bro "Koo" as in "cool" without the "L" at the end And "bro" as in the slang term for "brother"(br-oh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kumon-Sensei Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 But it seems like they wanna keep "CUB-row" without changing LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpongyPenguin Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Maybe send in a support ticket and try and get it changed from 커브로루 to 쿠브로우. It's funny that they messed up the phonetic translation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny that they messed up the phonetic translation. Yep I already sent. Actually There's officially authorized community website out of the official homepage that only Korean players use (because most Koreans doesn't like this form of forum and this site doesn't have Korean forum). They have lots of their sympathizers(or fanboys!) in there, and looks like they made vote about this issue. Although it's funny to make vote about definite problem like this, you'd know how they gonna respond obviously (ROFL) I assume they won't allow anyone who'd dare to challenge to their translation. Oh well. I would never play on 'their' Korean Version only if I could chat in Korean on English Version too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I told about it to them, then as I wrote at this reply -> https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/270811-pronunciation-problem-koo-b-row-or-ku-b-row/?p=3132829 seems they don't want to change the wrong one.

Leezeebub Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 My friend thought it was pronounced Kuh-Brow, like when Batman punches somebody and it makes a Ka-POW sound. I know it's dumb but I can't help but shout "Ka-BROW, MotherF'kers!!", every time some one mentions a Kubrow lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
