Translation for PTBR
I'm getting different proposition for PTBR translations. So here they are so it can be discussed. Let me know which one is the more appropriate once you all agree

Proposition 1:

ContextMenu_PTBR = {
ContextMenu_ThrowCorpseOutTheWindow = "Jogar corpo pela janela"
ContextMenu_ThrowCorpseOverFence = "Jogar corpo por cima da cerca"
}

Proposition 2:

ContextMenu_PTBR = {
ContextMenu_ThrowCorpseOutTheWindow = "Largar corpo pela janela"
ContextMenu_ThrowCorpseOverFence = "Largar corpo por cima da cerca"
}

Proposition 3:

ContextMenu_PTBR = {
ContextMenu_ThrowCorpseOutTheWindow = "Jogar cadáver pela janela"
ContextMenu_ThrowCorpseOverFence = "Jogar cadáver por cima da cerca"
}

In the context of the game, I would choose proposition 3.

seems to be the best option, but I don't speak Portuguese 😅

From a Brazillian, I think it should be the proposition number 1. Sounds more right in the context of throwing something, you know ? and the traduction of Brazillian Portuguese in actual game name the corpses "corpo"
(BTW sorry if I Mispelling something, English is my second language and it's not that great)
(Edit: Actually, great mod ! Forgot to tell that :P)

Thanks Caio. Well at least you both seem to agree that Jogar is better than Largar in this case

I agree with proposition 1 for the same reason as Caio. I don't play with translations, but if the official translation of the game chooses "corpo" for corpse then it's best to maintain that line of thinking so as not to risk confusion or losing cohesion with the rest of the game. As for the verb, "Jogar" is 100% the most apt verb that can be used for "Throw" in this instance (and most instances).

Well I'm french so maybe "Throw" was not the most appropriate word in English in this context. Might very well be "Drop". I don't know 😅

Translating things correctly is so hard...

Hi, I'm Brazilian, in my opinion the translation that best fits our dialect is the first version. "Jogar corpo pela janela", "Jogar corpo por cima da cerca". The third option is nice too, but it sounds kind of weird. I'm always on Discord if you need any PTBR revisions I can help. Thanks for the mods @co`

Thx Papa_Chat. I'll probably ask for help with new mods.
co`  [developer] 7 Jan, 2022 @ 3:41pm 
So I guess first proposition is correct. I hope you don't mind Selitto?
Selitto 8 Jan, 2022 @ 10:42am 
In the game, there is the option "Grab Corpse", which in Portuguese was translated to "Pegar Cadáver" and not "Pegar Corpo", so I still think (3rd) is the best option.
