Google says: "The Punic language, also called Carthaginian or Phoenicio-Punic, is an extinct variety of the Phoenician language, a Canaanite language of the Semitic family."

Kench is right - that might be difficult to figure out :-)

ایرانیها هم مردم کنچ هستند! فراموش نکنید که آنها برای خوردن کافران غربی برای صبحانه شناخته شده اند

The global chat in this game is hillarious. For a German like myself, whatever Austria has..."translated" is a real treat.

Man, I'm on a diet of no new games that I don't expect to be over by 8/1 unless they have a long clock because of a forthcoming vacation, but I would have been seriously tempted by this. It looks like a lot of fun.

it is fun but a lot of work haha

well - assuming you talk to others

A number of Google Translate games have been played over at vDip and was covered off in one of our earlier episodes. I'd recommend checking the show notes and fast forwarding to the relevant section on Kaner and my experience with Google Translate Dip games. See http://diplomacygames.com/diplomacy-games-podcast-episode-4-shownotes-world-war-iv-google-translate-diplomacy/. You can also download from iTunes or Stitcher.

They're a lot of fun, and would be keen to be involved.

(just realised in those really early episodes we didn't time stamp things. Fast forward to 32:20)

I'm waiting for second game.

this game much more hilarious than those games on vdip ... and especially if you read the private chats in addition to the global

(but the games on vdip neat too)

The hilarity of the game comes down a lot to the rules you set for translating; the vDip rules tend to make it a little easier to get proper translations. The other critical part if the player's take on things eg are they playing to win, or are they playing for entertainment.

If more players are more than willing to go for entertainment, instead of people saying (assume this is translated) "Damn, Germany just screwed me over. The little twerp" you instead put in words like "Fuck, Germany just fucked my ass and it feels like a red hot poker twirling around! The little cock sucker!"

Put both of those into Google Translate with whatever translation rules you have and I guarantee the result for number two will be far more entertaining.

I play to win and for entertainment.

TIL the Hungarian word for bullshit is very similar to the one for Bulgaria, at least according to google.

has there been some bs going on somewhere?

À cause de moi? Vraiment non.

C'est toujours à cause du singe, bien sûr. Celui qui est dans l'arbre.

I am curious as too who made Russia pregnant in the current game.. ??

It wasn't me ..

PS . World MAP ?? or is that just too much. I like the modern map Idea ..

I am agreed with you. Antartica haven't got a native language. We must speak English

@Bladerunners کنچ seems like not arabic.

Yeah the game itself is fun... but requires lots of work if you drew England like I did...

@yavuzovic - the language was persian, not arabic .... at least persian according to google translator

@ michael - no longer speaking to you in English... practice your French :-)
