"Player" in different languages

Post by NoQ »

If you see any of these names in the lobby, you should quickly realize that this is just an anonymous "Player" using a localized version of Warzone 2100.
Some very familiar names like "Spieler" or "Jogador" are here, as you see (:

The list was obtained by grepping through the .po files in the game source.
Some rare characters might be missing in your font.

Should the translated default name be removed, so all versions use "Player"?

Something universal would be nice.

I've thought Giocatore was some weekend warrior, who wasn't learning the game very well..
