In Response To: Re: Um, Raul? (Grasshopper)

: I've always found it endearing that the two protagonists of the Marathon
: series, the player and durandal, are symbolized by a sword (Durandal) and
: a hammer (Mjolnir).

: Raul -- I once used to speak spanish (castellano), as I was born in a town
: south of Barcelona, but I stopped speaking it after age 6. I used
: altavista to get me started, but the complexity of tenses (lots of
: perfect, plus-que-parfait) and indirect clauses turned the thing into a
: can of worms.

: Your "casual castellano" reads like a charm. Was Marathon ever
: localized in French or in Spanish?

: -gh

So you're a barcelonés? That's something de puta madre! Spanish is the easiest language to speak, but the toughest to write, so don't feel discouraged. Even the guys over the Royal Academy of The Spanish Language sometimes can't agree among themselves.

There's only one phrase you should never, ever forget: hijo de puta. If you can't pronunce it, then there's no hope for you :P The phonetic translation would be ee-ho da poo-tah. You know it's meaning, don't you? No? Then ask your mom **ReB makes an evil grin**

Thank you for your comments and for testing the Revival texture pack. Jay told me you gave him a little hand with that.

AFAIK, Marathon was localized to japanse only. :-/ I plan to fix that soon.
