Now, I do realize there aren't exactly many Lithuanian players, it's a small country after all, but to people actually familiar with the language such things appear rather silly at best. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAs you might have guessed by now I happen to know Lithuanian language myself, and while I'm not even close to being a professional linguist I could (if necessary), given some time, point out such cases and perhaps suggest translations - that is, if leaving it the way it is wasn't the grand plan all along.\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Treeofsavior/EnglishTranslation/issues/comments/126238152","html_url":"https://github.com/Treeofsavior/EnglishTranslation/issues/581#issuecomment-126238152","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Treeofsavior/EnglishTranslation/issues/581","id":126238152,"user":{"login":"imcgames","id":11382705,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/11382705?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/imcgames","html_url":"https://github.com/imcgames","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/imcgames/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/imcgames/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/imcgames/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/imcgames/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/imcgames/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/imcgames/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/imcgames/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/imcgames/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/imcgames/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-07-30T09:22:29Z","updated_at":"2015-07-30T09:22:29Z","body":"English terms with random bits of Lithuanian here and there are actually intended. \r\nSo terms like Sunkus Maul, Saltas Staff and such, yes they are meant to be that way :sweat_smile: \r\nHowever, I wasn't aware of cases like \"zalia\" with the feminine and masculine from (though I'll have to check with dev if they really wanted the female form) so if there are things like those that should really be changed, feel free to let us know and we'll be open to hear out suggestions. \r\n"}}
