[QUOTE="zhouluyi, post: 5736139, member: 6675993"] Ryujin, I use those translation for personal use. My book are in english and I play in portuguese, as such I need words that I can quickly relate to what they mean, that why I use direct translations first and foremost and disregard "official" translations. I use many (I even have a full glossary) terms that are different from the official translation, but is more in line with a direct translation from english. A classic example of heresy of mine is changing the Figher, which is traditionally translated as 'Guerreiro' (warrior) in every D&D game, to 'Lutador' (which means Fighter). Or Wizard as 'Mágico', instead 'Mago'. Saving throw as 'Jogada de Salvação', traditionally it was translated as 'Jogada de Proteção' (protection throw) and in 4th edition it became 'Teste de Resistência' (resist test). In my not so humble opinion, my translations are better than the official ones. [/QUOTE]
